Sluban Aviation Blocks Plane Bricks Toy-Airbus (M38-B0366), 463 pieces

This is my first Sluban purchase. I was wondering if it would be worth wile to purchase vs the leading brand of building blocks. I was thoroughly impressed with the over all product for the price:- All the pieces where there, and many extra pieces (mostly small easy to loose). The key to not loosing any is to assemble the toy on a hard surface ... not your carpet.- The pieces seem to be of good quality and fit together very nicely. The worse I can say is that the white part of the plane windows have a bit of extra plastic from the injection mold. I can see it in the picture I posted, but the windows fit together pretty well.- The instructions were very clear an pretty simple. The most complicated part was a typical engine (see picture), but most steps were as simple as the top half of the same page.- Others have said the roof keeps falling off and they fixed it with super glue ... well ok. The roof of this plane is meant to be easily removed so the kiddos can play inside too.- The Sluban minifigures are way cooler than those made by Lego. Their heads turn and tilt, as do their hands.There is a lot of thought that went into this toy. There is a separate first class and coach section. The pilot has actual levers to "fly" the plane. The Plane door mechanism is very life-like. The product is delivered in a solid box, inside the box is a second box (plain brown) shaped much like a drawer, this greatly helped to sort the pieces. The stickers included in this package are good quality and help dress up the plane.The two things I didn't like where:- The design of the small passenger Kart (with 4 seats). The thing falls apart every time you press down on a chair (i.e. each time a minifigure is pressed into the seat).- The plane engines are "held" onto the wings with only 2 (gray) dots (see picture of instructions). So they fall off with ease.I moved the engines to the back part of the plane, near the tail, and they stay better. The Kart also got redesigned and works fine now too.In conclusion I will be buying more Sluban products in the future, I think you get a lot of bang for the buck. There are some small design issues that might need to be worked around, however I would like my kids to learn problem solving skills, and how better to do that than with building blocks.P.S. As another reviewer had posted; the wheels are hard plastic, not rubber. That's really unfortunate. But again, where else can you get a Passenger Jet with three accessory vehicles and 6 minifigures for $20.

This plane is "big" for a toddler to play with. Then with the wings coming off, it was getting old having to re-attach and rebuild it. So I glued the wings and windows together along with the wheels. I don't hear complaints from my son and he's happy too.Nice product.

Muy buen producto mi hijo quedó feliz..

This is a great airplane because it is actually affordable compared to the Lago planes. However, it was very frustrating for my son because it fell apart multiple times and he had to rebuild it. So finally we sat down and super glued it together. Now he can confidently play with it or admire it sitting with the rest of his Lego structures. Definitely lower quality than Lego brand, but I just couldn't afford a $150 jet plane!

My 12 year old son is in to aviation and I daught this for him and he loves it! Great for the value!

My son was really excited about this plane and spent his own money on it. He tried and tried to make it work but the pieces would not stay together. They feel like very cheap plastic and just don't snap together. I would save a little longer and go with a name brand. Do not buy this one unless you was a tub of pieces and no plane.

Pieces come completely mixed up despite being in different bags. Frustrating for kids to pick thru each bag trying to find one or two pieces to move on to the next page of poor instructions. Quality isn’t great but overall if you have the patience and extra time you can eventually get it put together.

This plane is great! My 7 year old built it by himself without any issues what so ever. I read some negative reviews and I am so glad my son, insisted on having it anyway because I really can’t understand why some people had so much trouble. The instruction manual is clear and easy to understand just like Lego brand and the pieces fit together okay with the exception of one or 2 that are just a little imperfect but still fit just fine.On another note, if your child has never built a larger Lego set with the book before then maybe this isn’t right for you.Overall, this plane is a fantastic thing to build.
