I gave this K'nex Titanfall Building Set to my Grandsons for Christmas. Their ages are 15 and 7. It has been amazing, the boys have played with this set for hours and no fighting! The boys enjoyed building and then staging the guys to fight. The building parts do appear to be very durable and even though the boys build and take apart their constructions, the parts have not broken. The favorite parts are the swords. The boys like them because they say they look like real. I would recommend this toy for boys of most any age since both the younger and the older brothers really have enjoyed this toy. Their mother has also enjoyed this toy due to not having the boys fighting, lol.
My Grandson absolutely loves this K'NEX set. He's like most young boy's who like putting things together. This kit comes with simple, easy to follow instructions...which he didn't seem to need at all. Hours of building fun with this awesome set which comes with its own plastic, strong storage box...love that. It seems these K'NEX sets help kids to use their imagination. I would recommended these highly as a well made and enduring toy for fun kids eight and up.
K'nex Titanfall Angel City Escape Building Set Titanfall is a pretty cool game with a fairly unique concept in the first person shooter space. This set is well built and adheres to the Titanfall theme well. For the price it has more pieces than comparable Lego sets, however construction can be a bit more time consuming as the pieces connect more so than snap into place. Because of this, it may be difficult for younger ones who play with lego's but don't have the patience of a more tedious build. Also, its less motivating to tear it all down and build something new or play more aggressively where you could possibly mess up the construction. It includes 4 figures, weapons and rockets which are fun but were a little difficult to figure out the sweet spot to get to “fire” at first. The rods that come with the set make for some great pretend battle play allowing you to simulating Titanfall style combat like running on walls and low gravity jumps. It looks pretty cool and all in all, its a nice set and is best suited for the fan / collector who will enjoy the build and use the set more like a model car / airplane versus aggressive play.
I gave this to my 12 year-old daughter. She loves it - she worked on it for about 3 hours last night. I also know she is anxious for school to be over today so she can work on it some more. She said she wants to give it 4 stars, as some of the pieces were kind of hard to put together, and she did not think the directions were very clear. I am giving this 5 stars, because it kept my video-gaming kid entertained and occupied for that long. We have purchased other K'nex, and they are really more for older kids, as they can be complicated and the pieces are smaller and a little more challenging to put together. I love these, because they teach kids patience, persistence, and problem-solving. I highly recommend K'NEX Building Sets.
Well I picked this K'nex set for my 8 year old great grandson. I am watching him playing with it and I think the pieces are so small. He has two little brothers that I think there might be a problem if they get around it. There are little Titans and looks like little war buildings. There are so many many pieces, like 541 but I didn't realize how small they are. He is going to take it to his uncle's to help him build things and see what happens. That way, we don't have to worry about the little ones getting into it. It is rated for 8+ but I think it should be more like 10+. If I saw this in the store, I personally wouldn't have bought it. It also came with a pictured flyer so that does help with the building. Sorry but I don't have the equipment to take a video or photos.
This is the first K'NEX set we've had and it was a lot of fun to put it together, but it was challenging. The pieces are little and the directions are not easy to follow. These sets are a like Legos and puzzles combined. The pieces work well with other sets though. They are colorful and malleable enough for kids to get creative and build other inventions. The characters were easy to set up a "battlefield" and pose them. I personally have never played the game that this is based on, but the kids like them. I recommend this product for kids, but it's something that they would want to collect different sets to expand the possibilities. There are a lot of pieces and it is a bit complicated, so I definitely would recommend this for older children or preteens. It takes time to sit down and figure out where everything goes. You can't just put it together real fast and play with it, you have to really focus. K'NEX is more advanced than Legos, and requires patience. The buildings and sets do hold together really well once they're built, but the little figures arms keep popping off. You have to pop them back on.
this item is more boy oriented than girl. assembling this building set was a little complicated for an 8 or 9 year old child with average intelligence. but from age 10 or older would be the best age group for assembling. the directions for assembly were a little muddled and some things not fully explained, which may be the reason why it was a little difficult for the younger crowd. older children can basically make a mental puzzle of pieces and place them where they feel they may be more fitting. the pieces are durable and its always fun to play with these type of building sets with the different figures and weapons. no matter which set I purchased, K'NEX toys are extremely durable and fun to play with. some toys may appear to be slightly pricey but those particular items are practically indestructible. regardless of the directions, the pieces fit easily together. but like I said previously, this set is better for ages 10 plus.
The K'NEX Titanfall Building Set is recommended for children 8+. My eleven year old son found the building to be tedious and stopped working on it several times. He felt like it was more difficult to connect the larger pieces than the smaller pieces. He also said he'd rather not build it because trying to put the pieces together was "kind of frustrating". He actually liked the "little people with the guns" but otherwise became quickly disinterested in this building set even though he's an avid builder and thoroughly enjoys building sets in general. I'm not sure if my son was overwhelmed by the fact that this building set comes with close to five hundred and fifty pieces to create Angel City or if it was just too complex for him, but I would recommend this set for older children. I definitely would not recommend it for children under ten or eleven due to complexity of the multiple pieces in this building set. I'm hopeful that he'll soon pick up and restart building where he left off. He did mention that it would probably be easier to build with a friend. So this building set might be better if built together by a father and son or by a couple of friends who enjoy building sets. With that being said, the K'NEX Titanfall Building Set: Angel City Escape made my son want to “escape” from his room and play with something else.
This product took over two hours to assemble. It was not overly difficult, but it took patience and basic mechanical skills, similar to what you need to assemble a Lego set. The assembled product is fairly sturdy, as far as this kind of toy can be, considering that it consists of interlocking pieces. That said, rough play will easily break apart the toy. As such, the 8+ age recommendation on the box is probably accurate. The set has three separate towers in and on which you can place the four figures, plus two road pieces that interlock and go between the towers. The road has two trees (that you assemble) for decoration, and you can place three sandbag pieces about the road or nearby for additional battlefield decoration. There are two free-standing missile launchers that you can place wherever you like on the road or floor, although you cannot reasonably put them on a tower. The towers have a suggested placement as shown on the box, including pieces on the road to which they connect to keep nominally them in place. However, you can place the towers anywhere that you like. The freedom to place the various pieces in any arrangement gives a child countless choices for how to use the toy. Built in to the tower are five long sticks on swivels, for lack of a better description. These sticks are intended for you to attach the two figures that have a mounting hole in their back. Once mounted, you use the sticks to move the figures as if they were flying, or running and jumping in the case of the stick that is built in close to the floor. The idea is interesting, although the limited range of motion makes using the sticks not all that useful. Additionally, the four sticks that are attached higher in the towers to simulate flying can easily be detached by accident, which limits their fun. That said, you can simply avoid using the sticks and move the figures by hand. In addition to the built in sticks, the set also has two sticks that are not attached to anything. Using these sticks, you can move the figures that have the mounting hole with less propensity for knocking over other figures and other things with your hand. Since these sticks are free form, they are more useful than the built-in sticks. Some parts of the towers have wall or floor piece so with a hinged section that you can flip open. Doing so simulates battle damage. This is a nice feature since you can simulate such damage without actually disassembling parts of the towers. The figures are varied in construction. Two of them have bendable elbows and knees and can twist at the waist. The other two cannot bend their elbows and knees nor twist at the waist, but instead have ball joints for the legs for a greater range of motion with the leg as a whole. All of them can twist their head and hands and have ball joints at the shoulders for a good range of motion for the arms as a whole. As mentioned previously, two have mounting holes in their backs for being mounted on the sticks. They all have mounting holes in their feet for attaching them to the pegs on the tower floor sections. I am not certain why all four figures were not created with the same movement capability and why all four do not have mounting holes. The figures would be much better if they were equal in that regard. The figures are some delicate in that it is very easy to pull off their arms and legs if you move them too far for those that have ball joints. For the figures with the bendable elbows, the lower arms detach very easily just by bending the elbows in a normal fashion. The figures could have been constructed to be sturdier. The figures come with five hand-held weapons: two pistols, two rifles, and a missile launcher. The launcher has a missile that you can launch by flicking the back of the launcher with your finger, which strikes the end of the missile shaft that extends out the back of the launcher. You must hold the launcher with your hand when you do this, otherwise you will knock the launcher out of the figure's hand or at the least move the figure's arm and probably not launch the projectile. The missile does not go far and thus there is almost no danger of a child getting injured. As mentioned previously, there are two free-standing missile launchers as well. These also can launch a projectile by way of compressing a semi-coiled plastic piece and then releasing the plastic. The plastic then strikes the end of the projectile that sticks out the back of the launcher, which propels the missiles. In practice, the missiles fit too snugly in the launchers and thus either fail to launcher entirely, or at best travel only a few inches. They do not fly far as the picture on the box would have you believe. These launchers would probably work better if they functioned identically to the hand-held launcher. Perhaps you could break off the coiled plastic and try using your finger to flick the missile out. Because the launchers do not work well, there is no chance of a child getting injured. While this set certainly has its flaws, if your child enjoys Legos and other toys that you can assemble in any fashion that you imagine, then this toy has potential. As with any K'nex set, you can ignore the instructions and built anything that you want, creating the ability for endless fun. If your child is a fan of the Titanfall game, then this set certainly will be a treat.
This is just my own opinion from my experience trying to build this set. I didn't really care much for this set after constructing 1 fort. It took me 3 hours to complete for my grandson without applying the decals. There's over 500 very light plastic pieces including a ton of these gray gear looking pieces which interlock all the other pieces, panels and frame bars. There's also decals for the panels and for the street. The gears have slots and the other pieces have peg ends which lock in place. You'll find as you're constructing this set that you have to figure out what angles and configurations to put the gears together in in order to construct the fort correctly. I made a few mistakes even-though there is an illustrated booklet demonstrating how to put things together. The problem is in some of the illustrations you cant tell which position the gears are supposed to go. There's also blue pieces which look like half gears that you need to assemble to each other or to the gray gear pieces for corners to snap in the panels. The blue gears are difficult, if not impossible, to take apart when you want to deconstruct your fort and put your pieces away for storage. The set comes with 4 action figures that include interchangeable weapons. The figures took a little positioning in order to stand them up. There is a clear action figure that had an arm that kept falling off even when barely touching it. I guess you could super-glue it in place. For ages 8+ I feel some help from a parent or adult would be needed. On the bright side this could be a great tool for teaching problem solving.
