Grandson loves the Thistle blocks
My Grandson loves these blocks. Plays with them for hours. I likes to build airplanes and cars and is a little frustrated with the wheels not staying on the axles, but other than that there isn't any problems with the blocks. They entertain him for hours (he is 3). I will purchase more of the...se blocks for him, as he loves to build tall buildings, tunnels etc.

thistles don't stick
The first thing we noticed is these thistle blocks are not "standard size" so don't fit with our existing set that we wanted to enlarge. (different size, don't interlock) We separated the two sets we had combined and thought they'd have to be used separately only to discover that the new thistle bl...ocks do not stick together well. When you can get them together, they slowly push each other apart. Planning to return this item for a refund.

I was at a conference and was looking for something to take home for my 4 year old grandson. Looked at this then put it down. Later thought about it and bought it just at the last minute as the conference was ending and the vendors were packing up to leave. He loves Legos so thought this might be interesting. When he spent the weekend with us we were amazed at what he made on his own (this was the smallest set)with what was there. Started looking in toy stores etc. then went online and found your website. I ordered 2 of the largest sets for Christmas. My daughter said the next morning when she went in his room he had already made cars. I like toys that require imagination.
