Parent Panel Review - Meccano Build and Play Tipper Truck

Product: Meccano Build and Play Tipper Truck

Price: RRP £24.00

Available from Toys R Us , Amazon 

DescriptionBuild your own tipper truck with flexible parts. Tip the skip to unload your cargo. Play with your model, and change it around to create new adventures. Builds 5 models. Tools included. Only one toy may be built at a time

Suitable from:  5 +

Initial Reaction: Mini couldn’t wait to get stuck in the Meccano, which is now flexible plastic rather than metal.

Pros:
It is really child friendly with great colours and the parts are made of flexible plastic
With this set you can make five models ot just be creative.

Cons:  
It is a little tricky to be able to do all the making yourself when you are five, but it is great for imagination.  
Plus it would be nice to get a storage case with it or a bag to keep the spares in.

Value for money?  It is just a little too expensive for my liking, I would have like to see it come in at the under £20 mark.

Overall Reaction:  Mini and Maxi have both had great fun with this, making and creating and then taking it all apart to start again.  A traditional toy for boys that has stood the test of time, but also moved in to the now.
