Deluxe 296 Piece Construction Toy Set

Overall we are very happy with this. My 5YO son uses it nearly everyday and we've had it set up the same way for 2 months now. The structure moves quite a bit but it's very sturdy. My only real complaint is that the little screws or pins or whatever that secure the pieces together work themsevles free from time to time. Pros; very strong. lots for fun. easy to store when broken down. Cons; expensive. a bit wobbly. the connector pins can work themselves lose.

I had something like this when I was a kid but they were all red and black. Bought 3 of these kits so we would have enough to build some impressive things. Cheaper than buying a play structure for the back yard and so much more engaging and modular. Granted the 150 pound weight limit puts an expiration date on it as the kids get bigger, but these are basically like massive building blocks the kids can use to make things for imagination and playing and when you build them up you can use them as climbing structures. every 2 months or so we take down what we built and move it to the other kids room and we all build it together. Takes maybe 3 hours on a weekend. Also FunPhix tells me they're adding some new kit with wheels and slide. I'm going to get those when they come out.

Not enough pipes or connectors to put together atleast 2 out of only 8 options (I have not tried all of the options). The Boat is impossible to put together (it's missing at least 3 necessary connectors). The Tower was a pipe short. And 2 options look like a repeat. Effectively this toy has 3 options. It's FLIMSY. If left outside in the rain it will fill up with water. We got this about 2 weeks ago for 3yo bday party and it's been very disappointing. Additionally the instructions are incorrect in count and often not specific enough. I say this as someone has produced step by step instructions.

Fun to build but not as sturdy as hoped.

The kiddos love to build stuff and then play on it. It can wobble a little bit but seems to hold up. But what really set FunPhix apart for me is the fantastic customer service. There was a suggested build in the instructions that required pieces that didn’t actually come with the set, but contacting customer service resulted in an immediate response from a real human who sent me the extra pieces right away at no charge. I love a company who stands behind their product and will buy again.

Building outside plans included may need extra connections. Loved. Indoor fun. Safe, sturdy for those climbers and kids who love to hang, climb and twirl. Last build had hanging area for both 1 and 4 year old. Great for kids indoor play room.

My grand daughter is enjoying this toy, concept is great. I had to assemble and it was difficult. On the video, they show kids putting it together. There is no way a child could assemble, the plastic screws are difficult to turn and not well made. A couple of them broke when we were assembling. For the price, I thought it would have more pieces and be better made. You don’t receive enough parts to build all the things they show in the pictures. You would need to order more than one set. I will keep it because my grand daughter enjoys playing on it, but it’s definitely a cheap made toy and not worth the price they are charging. It doesn’t feel very stable.

Update: I received a message from company after putting review up wanting to help! I was hopeful. However after the initial message they didn’t care or even know what was happening in our conversation. It was horrible communication at best, and they didn’t even read the review. They did nothing to rectify it or make me feel like my purchase matters and that their quality is better then this, or offer to replace the pieces that aren’t good. Seriously do not buy. There are MANY new spots of wear in the under a month we have had it. Signs of wear means white bend marks on the plastic (no bend has happened). So disappointed we spent so much and didn’t get quality. Original post: We got it yesterday and the kids wanted to put together the slide. That took almost all the pieces. They count each screw as a piece (I should have researched more). I bought this for our kids business for open play, it won’t last a week. My two toddlers were EXTREMELY CAREFUL on it and it already is showing signs of wear. They played for less then 15 minutes. For this money it should look be as new after 15 minutes of play. I was worried the whole time that the thing would fall apart as well. If it wouldn’t be such a pain to take it apart and re package it to return it and get my money back, I would. Spots show in the picture on the blue platform - there are 4 “wear spots” on that one and multiple on the tubes themselves. Going to buy Tubelox now. I should have just bought the good brand to start with. Lesson learned!
