The subject line might be rather corny 🙂 – but it’s true! Mega Blok sets can be a lot of fun, not only to put together but also to play with too.
Last month my family received a really cool Blok Squad Police Force Pursuit set. The set gave you enough pieces to build a Police car, van and boat. It also came with accessories like people, a boat hitch, cones and fences. There are over 390+ pieces in this set.
My son wasn’t sure if he’d be able to put it together. He’s tried similar building block sets (other non-Mega Blok sets) but hasn’t had much success in putting them together. Often they require many pieces and there are a lot of steps to follow. Mega Blok was different. The instructions seemed a lot easier to follow. In fact it didn’t take long to put all the pieces together. I think it only took about an hour in total. Other sets we’ve tried have taken several hours to complete.
My son is older than the target age range, but he has some focus and fine motor skills “quirks”, so sometimes even the easiest tasks can seem more difficult for him. That is why my husband had to help him a bit with this. I think other children might not require any adutl assistance. The instructions were very easy to read and seemed very simple to do.
Once they are assembled the Mega Blok pieces are pretty cool, and a decent size too. I was very impressed with the boat. They paid close attention to every detail that you would find on a real Police boat or vehicle.
I meant to take a photo of the Police vehicles and boat assembled but I forgot to. I just went into my son’s room to find them to take pictures of them and I found that he had un-assembled them for some reason. This is all I found.
You’ll have to take my word on it. They are a nice size. 🙂
What I like about Mega Bloks is that they can work with similar block building sets so you can constantly add to them.
Mega Bloks also has the instructions on their site that you can download (PDF file) in case you happen to misplace the directions that come with your set.
The Mega Blok – Blok Squad sets are available in Police, Military, Fire Department and Construction varieties. All the kinds of sets that most boys love to play with (and even “big boys” – aka – ADULTS!).
Mega Bloks are sold at most retail locations across the country that sell toys. You can also learn more about Mega Bloks (and check out the other cool sets they offer) at www.MegaBloks.com. They are also on Twitter (www.Twitter.com/MegaBloks or @MegaBloks) and on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/MegaBloks).

My son LOVES rescue vehicles and Legos, he would really enjoy these. He is a little old for MegaBlocks but to me if I find a toy they like and will play with it doesnt matter. I will look for these since his birthday is coming up.
