 Beautiful Toy April 30, 2007

This is the third Gears set my [..]. son has added to his collection and it is by far the best and his favorite. He started out with the Gears small starter set which was a good idea. He requested Gizmos next for Christmas, then we added this per his request as his Easter gift from his grandparents. He spent hours putting it together and loved it. This set has the ocean colors, for instance the base is blue rather than the green used in the other sets. It is so much fun to watch the sea creatures move with every turn. I highly recommend this set.
 Great idea, mediocre execution April 9, 2003

Building sets are best if open ended, but there aren't many ways to put the Under The Sea Building Set together, and the different ways aren't all that "different." Plus, there's nothing you can do with the set once it's assembled except crank it and watch the pieces do the same thing over and over again.The toy is more frustrating than it should be because certain gears have a habit of coming apart and the crank disconnects too easily from the base. Another problem, and another reason I gave only 3 stars for durability, is that there are several necessary--but easy-to-lose--little pieces. Lose one piece, the Hermit crab won't work, lose another, something else won't work, etc. Each teensy piece has a specific job to do and no duplicates are provided. On the positive side, the toy is cute--made of durable, brightly colored plastic that manages to be more cheerful than tacky. The pieces should last forever if you manage not to lose them. And the toy is definitely educational, providing immediate feedback on how gears work.
