Mega Awesomeness
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. My 10 year old son is a huge Pokemon fan and always up for a building challenge. This set did not disappoint -- if you're looking for a building set to keep your Pokemon lover busy for a while, this is definitely worth checking out. It is definitely complex and challenging with 1,664 and 462 steps! Some support may be needed, as we had a few instances of frustration in putting small pieces together. Overall I'd say he spent about four weeks on this project. My favorite part (aside from keeping him occupied and off of screens) is the motion aspect. You can actually play with it a bit before you set it on the shelf. It was cool to build the pieces that move, because you could see how all the gears and cranks work together. Engineering in practice!

Great for keeping busy!
Great to do a little each night with homework! Over 400 directions to complete this Pokémon. Directions are in large pictures and show clearly how to assemble. Individual packages can easily rip open. My son looked forward to building it everyday. Size is perfect for display!

Engineering Type Build!
Really neat idea to incorporate movement with a building block set. A bit tougher to put together but very impressive as an end product. Details are spot on for the design of the character. My son was definitely challenged putting it together but enjoyed the experience building and playing with it.

Worth the work!
The toy is really awesome! The motion is great and the size and detail are wonderful. The assembly is quite time consuming and took quite a while for us to complete. It was worth it but wasn't the easiest to accomplish.

Challenging but impressive
This is a fun, lengthy build that took my son over week to put together (building about 2-3 hours a day). Pros: - Very detailed, great for an older kid (my son is 10 and found it a good mix of average to challenging) - The final product is impressive, with multiple moving parts including the full body, wings, and fire in the base Cons: - It is occasionally quite difficult to see which pegs to snap together. Even with my help, my son and I took a few minutes on some steps to figure out exactly where a piece needs to snap to the next one. It helped to look a few steps ahead to get a different view - The pieces themselves are sometimes difficult to snap together. Slows down the process to have to wiggle the pieces together

Great build!
This Charizard is amazing! There are so many pieces. If took my son a while to get it built. He really loved that it moves. In face, building the base with the moving parts may have been his favorite part. This toy is great for any pokemon loving aspiring builder!

Great Pokemon building kit.
We love this project, though we are not quite finished building it! My grandson has loved working on the project, but it does take some time to work through the full project. The only thing we have noticed is that he sometimes needs some help snapping the blocks fully into place by a grownup and you have to take your time to really make sure you have the correct block as you are building. We love how the fire moves up and down and can't wait to finish building Charizard and have him fly around the room.

Building Blocks and Pokemon - a great combination
This is a large building set with over 1600 pieces that will hold the attention of any child who is interested in building block toys. The Pokemon theme and especially Charizard as a character are great and well known within my son so he was very excited to combine two of his hobbies. The set comes in a large very sturdy box, the pieces are packaged in bags that help keeping the actual piece count of the specific build phase to a manageable amount. Instructions are very clear with color coding and very detailed pictures of the actual pieces and how they need to come together. So building the set was very fun and motivating. As for the result - there is a lot of mechanics involved in the set and when everything comes together it's great. The whole figure moves as it would be flying so it's a great model. Overall we are very happy with this product. It was fun to build and the result is awesome.
