same bucket you can buy in the store for about the same price as walmart. the legos are good not a huge amount in there but a good starter set.

My son loves this set, at 3 he just covered the square with one level, I don’t think he got building up until after I showed him multiple times, but now at just over 4 he is building intricate things. The only reason I give this a 4 stars overall, is because I wanted to use the bucket to store ALL of his Legos in (the box only comes about 1/3 full at the most), but the larger green board for building on wouldn’t fit, and the board it comes with is tiny, inhibiting big creative projects. Otherwise an awesome toy that brings out the kid in me as well when I play with my son.

So, with all these hundreds of pieces you get one green base plate of about six sqare inches, which is almost useless, and a few even smaller base plate type pieces, which are indeed useless.

There’s plenty of room for a decent size base plate or two, or three or four, but nooooooooooo. If I want a base plate that can actually be used, like one that’s ten or fifteen inches on a side, I need to go out and pay extreme amounts of money for them to buy them seperately (extreme considering they are single pieces of injection molde plastic).

So, open your wallet, get out that credit card, and welcome to the wonderful world of legos!

Where are the lego????The nice bin came but 400 pieces only fill up the bin 1/4 full. My children asked where are the rest of the pieces? I am questioning lego strategy with marketing. I see lego as a creative tool I shopped for ever and finially went on line to find a box of plain lego from which my children can decide what to create. Buying online from Canada ment roughly $55 in shipping and duty for a 1/4 full box. Not happy.

Was disappointed. I bought this for my 2 year old grandson, and I now understand why the price was low. It was not what I expected. Big container, not many pieces.
