Mega Construx Pokemon Gyarados [Amazon Exclusive]

This was my first time building a Mega Construx product. I'm a big kid (30 lol) and I've always loved Legos and Pokemon. I've also always been a 'lego snob', meaning if it's not actual Lego brand then it's probably not good. I've been looking at these for a while and someone recently got me an Amazon gift card, so I decided to pull the trigger. For under $20 you can't go wrong! Honestly a similarly sized Lego is probably $40. There were no quality control issues (no missing/warped pieces, color issues, etc.). The directions were clear with great illustrations and the build was so much fun! It took me about 2.25 hours (having never built a Mega Construx set and not having built any lego/construction bricks type model in few years). I now have it on my desk at work and it looks awesome. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes Pokemon and Lego type sets. I've definitely found a new addiction and will buying more! I would say 8 years old is about the cut off for being able to build on their own, however this would be a fun project for an adult to do with a younger child (probably 6 years old at the youngest).

This was a very satisfying build for me because it's big, took some time, and actually looks like Gyarados (woo!). It's also an excellent way to relax after work. I put it together while playing Netflix in the background. As an adult, I managed just fine with the instructions, but it may be too challenging for young kids to do by themselves. It helps to look at a future step if you're unsure where two pieces connect. The bags are not numbered and the pieces are mixed among bags anyway, so I recommend spilling them all out and organizing them on a table before starting. I had no issues with pieces missing or anything like that. I checked the seller out (even if fulfilled by Amazon Prime) before purchasing, so that may have helped. Anyway, I love this Gyarados and highly recommend for other Pokemon fans of all ages.

Mega Construx, Pokémon, and Gyarados!Another iconic Pokémon that was turned into building blocks by Mega Construx.There is 352 pieces which took me about an 2 or so to complete. (Time varies)Pros:- Gyarados stretches 9 inches long!-"Fully articulated body for ultimate possibility" (Fins, body, tail, etc.)-"Water environment that doubles as display stand"- You also get an Ultra Ball- One of the best looking so far- Price is amazing when bought through Amazon- Great collection pieceCons:- Could have included extra stuff- Original price is high (Doesnt matter on Amazon)- Dive Ball or Lure Ball would have been better!As you can see there are no bad cons to this product so some opnions of mine that would have made it a bit better.In conclusion, this is a must buy if you love Pokemon and even just Mega Construx for the building concept.

Gyarados for 8+ my grandson is only 6 and he had a great time building this. For him this was very easy to build. It took him a while to build because he only put it together when he was visiting my house. The only CON I found on this is that after you build it you can’t play with it because the pieces are very small and it comes a part very easy. He entertained himself building this sometimes for more than 1 hour.

The product looks really cool & gave it to my 5 yr old grandson. Pieces are really small so need to keep it away from the toddlers. Some pieces on the head aren’t extremely tight & come lose when assembling next stages. So difficult for kids - definitely need adult help. But instructions are very good & the body seems to be very sturdy. Spent 2 hours on it & still have a ways to go. It has been worth the purchase so far.

I had a ton of fun with this, especially when building it. Seriously, it's a Mega Bloks Gyarados, if you're reading this review, you obviously want it. Just get it.Also, I have to note the exceptional quality of the instruction booklet. They have designed this thing with professionalism and elegance, and rarely do you see this level of care and attention in a "spinoff" company like Mega Bloks. Building this product is a wonderful experience, and I recommend it to any Pokémon fan, or anyone with kids who like Pokémon.

This was the best toy gifted at a Pokemon party. All of the 7-10-year-old boys wanted one! It turned out that the kid who actually received this does not like building block toys at all, but he put it together anyway because it looked so cool on the package. He had an easy time building this as his very first complex building block set, and it now sits as a decoration in his room. He loves it.

Good size, looks much better in person than in pictures. It has a deceivingly large number of pieces, takes a good while to put together and it can be mildly complex, which is satisfying, but maybe difficult for a kid. Base is cute too. Wish the Ultra Ball had a way to attach, it just sits on top and it's very easy to lose. Only complaint.
