SillbirdBuilding Robot Dinosaur Kit with Remote Control Christmas Stem Gifts for Boys Age 8-12, Build Coding Robotic Toys for Kids Birthday, 5 in 1 Buildable Set with 646 Pieces

Fun toy

The media could not be loaded. The STEM kit has been a lot of fun, and interest for my 8 year old. He hasn't built the dragon yet, but he was able to build the robot. It moves, talks, and dances. It even has light up eyes that change expression as it moves. My son built it entirely on his own. All I did was get the pieces out for each step. He did the rest. It took several days, and a lot of time to completely assemble but the end result is amazing. He's super proud of himself, and he should be. Building that robot was no easy task. But he had a lot of fun while really challenging his mind, which as a parent, I can say is the best kind of project a kid can try.

Directions need to be clearer.

Love this set! This was a lot of fun for the whole family to put together. It is nice that it’s not too hard but also not too easy. It works just as described.

I really enjoyed building this kit. Instructions are clear and well thought out. Pieces are high quality too! Had a lot of fun with this and would recommend to anyone.

This was a family project with my daughter. She loved it as did my husband. Great family time activity.

This set is a well designed and well made building toy. Three models are possible; our favorite is the dragon. The pieces are standard size and compatible with Lego. The models can be controlled by a remote control alone, or by the remote control connected to a smart phone with a downloaded app.The pieces are sorted in bags by function. Since three models are possible they are not bagged in the order used. The instruction book is a usable size with good illustrations. The steps are clear; however, the assembly is inherently complex and requires attention and patience. The cables for the eyes require careful installation. This set is best for older kids and adults who enjoy a engaging building challenge.The product box has attractive artwork and is very giftable. I am a fan of this set, and I recommend it.

The media could not be loaded. First of all, I have to point out that the construction looks great even without stickers, so if you don't like them, you don't need to apply them at all.What disappointed me a little are the built-in sounds - they are loud and can be a bit annoying in a smaller room. And in addition, there is no way to turn them off (or at least I haven't figured out how) if you only use the remote control.I haven't tried the programming app - it needs to be installed outside the official google play store and requires quite a lot of permissions when using it, which doesn't look very professional compared to other toy manufacturers.Summary: This is a good toy for beginners who can get by with the pre-programmed functions of the LED displays (used as eyes) and the pre-programmed remote control.It can be interesting even for very advanced people who want to take it apart and adjust the electronics inside.If you're looking for a kit to teach you more complex robot programming, this product probably doesn't have much to offer.
