Sillbird Robot Building Kit with Remote Control STEM Gifts for Boys Age 8-12, Technic Buildable Coding Robotic Set Birthday Toys for Kids Teens (468 Pieces)

Bought this for our grandson's 9th birthday. Putting it together involved lots of critical thinking and problem solving which I believe is critical to his overall development. Also, it provides lots of fun on one battery charge. Great value for the money.,

My 9-year old son received this robot build from Santa this year and spent two days straight building. Took about 7-8 in total build time and he was able to complete the build by himself minus a few times when he need help putting a couple of pieces together.The one downside is the coding and remote control app is out dated and no longer works but the manual remote works just fine.Would recommend for anyone who likes these type of builds.

This was a great robot. It’s very sturdy and we were so happy with the wonderful customer service. We plan to use this brand again in the future!

It was not fun for anyone and we are intelligent people. Too many bags of various pieces, too many small pieces that look alike, poorly fit with frustrating directions. Our 10 yr. old grandson got bored and walked away and he is a complex lego lover. The goal became just to get it together enough so he could run it with the remote. Not worth the money, the time, the frustration. Really consider the child before ordering.UPDATE: Though I can not change my rating on the Robot I have upped the rating for their excellent customer service who reached out to me wanting to help the situation. They are very professional and sincere in their assistance. I thank them for that.

Got this as a Christmas gift for my 8 year old. She loves robots and she spent most of Christmas morning building it. It's a very challenging build, but one that she accepted. There were a few steps where she wanted help.I gave 3 stars on the Remote because the remote that came with our set was actually broken. It didn't have the batter spring so we couldn't control the completed toy. However, we contact customer support through Amazon and the seller gladly sent us a replacement remote. Very friendly support and shipment was quick despite coming from China during their major lock down end of last year.

We have this to my great nephew - who thought it was great- he is enjoying working with it!

Good instructions and fun robot!

This is very lego-like. Many of the pieces could have come out of the same factory molds. The pieces custom to this kit, however, seemed to have a lower durability. The track if assembled/disassembled more than a time or two won’t stay together any longer. One kit we received had a light missing part of its assembly, and it was also missing a couple other random parts. The pieces are bagged in numbered bags with large numbers, except several of the bags don’t have visible numbers (but if you look very closely those bags are numbered in a tiny part number on the bag). Assembly was ok, certainly not easy but not so difficult that I was frustrated. My almost-first grader was able to assemble most of it with help with some of the assembling and guidance support. A few of the pictures in the instructions are not super clear, but the intended step can usually be inferred. There were a few times I needed to disassemble a sub assembly and snap it to the larger piece in segments. Several of the pieces act like they were never intended to be disassembled (axels, track) so I’d consider this to be a “one time build”.
