500 Piece Building Brick Review

My girls are just getting into the joy of building with Legos.  We have been given a couple of small sets, but they kept asking for more blocks to build and create with.  Finding such blocks without buying a set or spending a fortune is difficult to come by, however.  So, when I came across the opportunity to try  a pack of non-branded Lego like blocks, I jumped on it.

This set comes with 500 pieces in 14 different shapes an sizes, in 10 colors (red, green, light blue, dark blue, yellow, pink, purple, white, grey, black).  

These are your basic bricks, and include the following pieces:

- 1 peg narrow

- 2 peg narrow

- 3 peg narrow

- 4 peg narrow

- 6 peg narrow

- 8 peg narrow

- 4 peg double

- 6 peg double

- 8 peg double

- 12 peg double

- 16 peg double

- 3 peg corner 

- 20 peg thin

- 2 peg slant

These bricks work perfectly with Lego branded building bricks.  If not for the logo, I would not have known they were not the official product!

I am very pleased with this set.  I love that the colors are not gender specific.  The bricks are easy to put together and take apart again, they are not too tight or loose.  They feel just like the name brand building bricks, of quality sturdy plastic.  My family spent hours just creating and building with these, no directions, characters, extras or theme necessary.  These are great for sparking creativity, educational purposes, distractions, just play fun.  I highly recommend this product!
