    The Good: Instructions for building 25 increasingly complex models; pieces interchangeable with other Erector sets.

    The Challenging: With 643 parts to keep track of, pieces might get lost; directions have illustrations but no text.

    In a Nutshell: A classic toy that will entertain kids for hours while encouraging creativity and honing motor and analytical skills.


    You can create a variety of devices, ranging from a catapult... View larger.

    ...to a working, motorized car! View larger. Build, Learn, Play
    The Erector Set comes with a handy carrying case. Not only does it help your child organize the many small pieces of their set, it allows them to take the set with them on the go. The instructions are helpful and clear, showing in detail how to build the models, and stating clearly what pieces are needed before your child gets started. Please note, however, that there are no text directions, only illustrations. The plastic pieces can feel flimsy at times, but children testing the toy didn't seem to mind and played for hours.

    A Classic Toy Lives On
    Kids can build up to 25 different models using the illustrated instructions, or they branch out with their own creations. From planes to cranes to helicopters, there is so much that can be built with the 643 nuts, bolts, wheels, screws, and metal pieces that come with this set. A six-volt battery-powered motor makes the models come alive.

    The sheer number of parts may seem overwhelming, but the compartmentalized case will help kids stay organized. Teenagers should have no problem building on their own, but younger kids might need some supervision and help, especially since the directions include no explanatory text -- just illustrations.

    What's in the Box
    Erector set with 643 parts, six-volt battery-operated motor (batteries not included), illustrated directions, and storage case.

    Yes it can be put together
    This set has been around for 20+ Years without any real changes to it other than graphics on the packaging. It is also compatible with older Erector sets by AC Gilbert although the thread is BSW and SAE respectively for the nut and bolts. Yes the nuts and bolts are counted in the 638 pieces. This set has the older tools included. The instructions “pictographs“ are for 15 models with “pics” ideals for 10 more. It is more difficult to build than say Legos. Close attention is needed to each step other wise you’ll have to Disassemble and reassemble the previous steps. The sets are compatible with one another so you can use parts from other sets to tweak your model. I used three remote motors on mine in the video. Remember customers are more apt to complain than complement. Skill, patience and nimble fingers are a plus.
