When your toddler has graduated from the Duplo stage and is ready to take the next step in his, or her, Lego journey, the Lego Ultimate Building Set is the ideal graduation gift. With 405 pieces stored in a durable plastic box with a see-through top, this set is the perfect place to let children continue to explore their imagination and engineering skills. The Lego Ultimate Building Set contains many small pieces and is designed for kids ages four and older.

What We Think

Fun factor:
Durability:
Ease of assembly:
Educational factor:

The Good: Lego starter kit lets younger children build a house, car, dog, helicopter, and more.

The Challenging: Younger children may need help with following the instruction.

In a Nutshell: The ideal Lego starter kit for kids too old for Duplos.


The Ideal Lego Starter Kit

The Lego Ultimate Building Set includes everything a child needs to take the first steps to becoming an expert Lego builder. It includes one mini figurine, a building plate, and a wide mix of standard bricks in various colors as well as house and wheel elements.

Following the included instructions and using pieces in the starter kit, kids can build a house, helicopter, dog, and car. The only flaw is that the instructions may be challenging for younger children, and require adult assistance.

As is the case with virtually every Lego set, your child will be limited only by his, or her, imagination and perseverance. Although the kit is designed for younger children graduating from Lego Duplos, you can be confident that your child will never actually grow out of the Ultimate Building Set. All of the pieces can be incorporated into future Lego collections.

What’s in the Box
405 standard Lego pieces with house and wheel element, mini figurine, durable plastic storage case, and instructions.


With 405 pieces, this Legos starter kit allows your child to build a variety of different things.

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.

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!

LEGOs are a fantastic toy for a young mind. But it seems I could use some sharpening of my own adult mind. I purchased the Ultimate LEGO Building Set from Amazon and i received it promptly. The problem was i thought i was getting a larger set. It turns out that the exact same set sold for LESS THAN HALF of what i paid for it here on Amazon. By the time i went back to my local store to buy the same item, it was sold out due to the holidays. So, i have learned my lesson to shop local first and always shop around (not just online) when making any purchase.
