Product Reviews

It was instant love

I have two boys, a 4.5 year old, and a 1.5 year old, and instantly when the package was opened, they loved it and were instantly engaged. Even a week later, it is still the first thing they go to.Pros:1. The tube pieces click together easily into shapes that are a lot like tube slides.2. It comes with a LOT of duplo bricks.3. It comes in its own storage tub (with only a plain cardboard box for packaging - awesome!)4. It comes with several tube supports, and optional “doors”.5. It is very easy to click together complex tubes.Cons:1. It realistically would entertain 2, not 4 children.2. It comes with 1 “seesaw” piece. This causes contention if more than one is using this set.3. I wish it came with 4 different colored balls (2 blue, one red, one yellow)4. I wish it were a little more stable when clicking tubes between a horizontal piece and a vertical piece. It’s a little fiddly / fragile.5. The flag came with the wrong color, and one of the posts is slightly too thin - the flag does not stay at the top.Overall, this is an awesome set. We had a “my first duplo” set that was really too small and have now just combined it into this one.I heartily recommend to anyone with children aged 1.5 - 5 who wants a lasting engaging, inspiring toy.

Great idea needs work exciting the product.

Great idea and the kids love them, yet there is no way a toddler is going to put the tubes together by them selves. The tubes are directional and it is not as obviously directional looking to kids as the large bumps on the lego bricks. I have to take a look inside to look for the beveled edge to connect them. Once connected they have to be supported very well by other legos or they will pop apart. Great idea needs work exciting the product.

Love this set

Love this set! The only thing I will say is that the tube pieces for the slide are somewhat hard to get and keep together. My three year old gets a little frustrated. It is even somewhat hard for me. But over all we love them!

Love it

Well worth the money spent. As others have commented, the tubes can bit a bit challenging to connect, but we have found that if you first assemble the tube, then attach they will hold up with no issues. Love this set, comes with a ton of other pieces.

Hours of fun!!!

Our two kids love this set. The two year old can connect all the tubes together without any problem. Best part is… it works with the regular duplo blocks so it works like an expansion set.

Great!

This set is a fun addition to our other Lego Duplo stuff. It makes it interesting for adults too! The only thing that is a slight turn-off is that the tube pieces can be a bit difficult to snap together. Easy for adults who play with their kiddos, but occasionally my kids (3 & 5) complained about not being able to hook the tubes together by themselves. Other than that, it’s great fun!

The tubes are an excellent change from the usual leg bricks

The tubes are an excellent change from the usual leg bricks. My 3 yr old loves this more than the other sets he has at home

Build Awesome Playgrounds / Ball Shooting Tubes with This Set

We had lots of regular Lego Duplo sets but this tube set makes so much more possible. My grandkids really enjoy building playgrounds and ball shooting tubes. Super !

Great supplemental set.

This is a Great set. We even use the tubes for our Hot Wheels to come speeding out of. Lot’s of fun. Tubes do require help putting together if your toddlers are young.

Well I don’t think this plastic was worth the cost at all.

I regret buying this plastic junk

Kid lives it

Our two year old loves it, started making tunnels in about 10 minutes and is still going with new designs.

Can’t believe how hard it is to find this set …

Can’t believe how hard it is to find this set. My kids play for hours with this set. This exceeded my expectations.

Five Stars

Good

Ripoff

This is a widely available set, for maybe ¹⁄₃ of the price this one is listed.

Excellent toy!

This is an awesome set! It arrived yesterday on my son’s fourth birthday (not planned, but absolutely welcome) and he has been enamored with it ever since.
