 The greatness of the Octopus Whirl Jan 19, 2009
Hi, my name is Jorge. I'm 9 years old. The OCTOPUS WHIRL was awesome!!! Although it seems that it might be a little more challenging for 7 year-olds. I liked that when I was finished instead of just spinning regularly it spins on an angle. It rocks. That's why I recommend this for kids. It was the best one that I built so far. Right now I'm working on the one for 9 year-olds and up, and that's gonna be a challenge but fun!!!!!!!

Too cool Feb 19, 2009
By Computer dad
I think I need to buy another one for my desk at work. This thing is cool.
I would take the one I have to work, but my kids (4 and 6) play with it almost every day. We haven't taken it apart yet since Christmas. They even manage to fix it themselves sometimes when a piece or two falls off, which is not that often considering how rough they can be. They also have not broken a piece yet, although they did lose one of the very small pieces. Luckily we had a replacement in their K-Nex bin.
Rolling and swinging fun Aug 22, 2011
By Melvin Anderson
"author Diabetes?What's That?"
This was a very enjoyable ride to build. However, like all K'nex products I have built, it suffers from a multitude of small parts which are difficult to hold, compounded by being made of a slippery plastic that compounds the problem. Another defect is in the illustrations, I often found then almost indecipherable but I plugged away and got through. Part of it is my fault, I am too old to retain full use of all my joints, I am partly color blind and have trouble discerning what part is called for but I still enjoyed building the models. And when I am done and turn them on, to see them work, then all my effort becomes worthwhile.
 What fun for lego guys Jan 07, 2010

"Mama of two"
Ok, so I had to put most of this together for my 6 yr old son, but towards the end he was able to help. My kids just love this....their lego guys get to ride on...What fun. No problems putting it together once I got the jist of it.
Surprising staying power Jul 06, 2009
By M. M. Benton
"sambachick"
A year after receiving this toy as a gift, I'm happy to say my 5-year-old son still chooses to bring this one out to build, where other toys are abandoned, broken, or discarded. He needs help to build it, but manages to make repairs on his own, and has asked for the other "thrill rides" in the set.
It requires a little construction savvy and patience, and has lots and LOTS of little parts. Our fingers are always worn by the time we're ready to turn it on. Good for kids and parents who are mechanically inclined -- frustrating for people who aren't. Did I mention LOTS of little parts? Yeah, get some baggies for storage.
