I thank for the excellent service. PLEASE remove any negative feedback for the service afforded me by the seller. The item was scheduled for delivery Jan. 2. Unfortunately, the receiving room of my husband's office, to which it was to be shipped, was closed Jan. 2, the day after New Year's. I was asked for feedback on Jan. 3, but could only write that I could not comment because I'd not yet received the item.
This reflected negatively on the seller, and was in no way her problem. Please correct this.
I look forward to hearing from you about this.
Thank you.

When I was a young child back in the 1950's one of my very favorite pastimes was playing with my Tinkertoy Construction Set. I would wile away the hours all by myself building all manner of bizarre creations that never really amounted to much. The monstrosities that I constructed certainly did not resemble the magnificent creations some kids could come up with. But I really did not care. I guess I simply did not have the aptitude for such things. For me my Tinker Toys were pure and simple fun. And I can assure you that my parents greatly appreciated a toy that would keep me occupied for hours at a time.
When I look around today I see all of the sophisticated electronic gadgets that 5 and 6 years olds have avaliable to them. I honestly doubt that they are going to give these children the pure joy that this simple wooden construction set gave me and my friends so many decades ago. In fact, Tinker Toys have been around for nearly a century now. It is a formula tried and true. So if you are the parent of a young child do yourself and your child a favor and consider the simple gift of a Tinkertoy Construction Set. I suspect that when the batteries have died and you child has become bored with his or her electronic toys they just might go back to their Tinker Toys. Isn't that usually the way?? Very highly recommended! |

I suggested to my sister that she purchase TinkerToys for my son for his 4th birthday. My son can sit there for a long long time and play with them.
We havent had any problem with breakage (and my son is ROUGH with his toys. Some of the pieces fit together tightly but after a while, they loosened up. |

| This is a fun and educational toy. Helps to develop small motor skills. Adults love it too. Too bad that more pieces don't come in a set. It is quite expensive. |
| More for nostalgic grown ups than for today's kids | 2009-07-27 | 3 / 5 |

| I reckon in this day and age, Tinkertoys are bought more to satisfy the purchaser's nostalgia than to give today's kids something to get excited about. Too few pieces cut short kids imaginative building sessions. (To be fair, Lego is guilty of this too.) Loose fitting connections inevitably lead to creations that fall apart and cannot really be played with. How fun is that? And stick ends that break far too easily mean your child may be able to build that "working elevator" that uses all the sticks only once! I guess you could buy a second set to get replacement parts and spares, but I don't see the point. |
