Barcaloo194 Piece Building Bricks Accessories Kit - Pirate Ship Parts & Pieces Set with Boats, Treasure, Weapons, Plants & Wildlife Parts - Building Block Accessory Set, Compatible with Major Brands

Our set came without instructions (another review mentions directions but we only received the bag as shown). I am still giving this 5 stars because this provides a ton of wheels and building options that are sadly missing in our other Lego sets. My almost 4 year old has been happily making trains with many many wheels and various cars and monster trucks. I'd like to share my learnings here about the set up. Because of the lack of directions it took a good bit of trial and error. **If you purchase this: I STRONGLY suggest you separate all the pieces out immediately, and follow these directions and get all wheel parts together before they scatter! Trust me!There are four configurations:1) tiny thin steering wheels that go on their white wheel posts2) 2 tiny wheels that each have a wheel center insert which has a *small* hole that connect to the black 2x2 plates with small tubes on BOTH sides. They are assembled so the black 2x2 has one wheel on each side, with each wheel's "spoke" decoration side out. You can put two white wheels or two black wheels or mix and match, your choice. They should click together nicely.3) 1 tiny wheel with an insert that has a larger round hole in the center. This connects to a tube that is rounded on both ends which connects to a 2/2 with one innie tube underneath. This should click together nicely.4) 1 large wheel with a grey center. The flat side of this, which actually looks more like the outerfacing "spoke" side of the small wheels, is the inside here. The small tube that is round on one side and has more of a + shaped hole on the other, goes into the + shaped hole on the flat side of the big wheel. It is tempting to put the tube into the deeper hole on the other side. Do not do that. It is tempting to fit a smaller wheel into the deeper hole on the other side. Do not do that. Although it will fit well, you will then have fewer wheels. Once you have the wheel together with its grey insert and the + end of the tube into the flat side of the wheel, put the rounded part of the tube into a 2/2 with one innie tube underneath. This is one arrangement that is not a very solid connection, but it stays together pretty well. If there is a better arrangement, I'd love to hear it.You can attach the 2x2s in #3 and #4 on under side of the larger plates. Configuration #2 is going to get you a skinny car/train because the maximum width is 2.Good luck and enjoy!

You get 4 boat frames & loads of special pieces to create your boat story. Build on them with other blocks you own and you are off. Money well spent. Only nit, don't like the brown for the boats, any other color preferred. Small issue, if we need more boats for the armada will buy these again

This was a good product for what it is. Are they as substantial as Legos? No, however, they're substantial enough AND they are not the usual "bricks" you usually get when you want more pieces. There are doors and windows and other needed but unusual items. This was a good find to add to my nephews collection.

My son loves the boats. They come in 2 pieces and will float in water. Compatible with legos for hours of building fun. Very easy to assemble and great value.

Nothing

This selection provided so many various building blocks for the grandkids to expand their structures! At a price far less than a typical, object-specific, set they were able to stretch their imaginations far beyond "this is what it's supposed to build"!

These are a good value compared to lego but obviously aren’t lego. Lego has durability for years. Some ones I played with as a kid 20 years ago are all still fine and perfect. These will work with lego but are a looser fit and not up to the standards of lego.However I was looking for some random bricks and didn’t want to break the bank. Also was looking for some windows and other pieces to make houses. So it works fine, but don’t expect same lego quality. There are also lots of super random pieces in here that just seem to be odd and no point for them to be in the set.

kids loved this and worked well with their brand name legos and off brand legos
