Welcome to Wishlist After Dark! I'm Penny, here with Marty Dazzle, our sequined fox, and Sunny, the happiest expert around. Thanks, Penny! Folks, this is the Official Gears Deluxe Building Set by Learning Resources, the perfect gift for kids four and up who love building! Hi, everybody! I can see it now: the paper comes off, those colors pop, and a little builder lights up! A hundred pieces, Sunny!
What's in there? It's 46 colorful gears, 26 square pillars, 21 six-way axles and 6 interlocking bases, Marty. Look at that chart! Hang on, what actually moves? The models do! Target's listing says kids connect it all with a crank handle, no batteries. No batteries? I want one! But wait, there's more: it works with other Gears sets! So the collection keeps growing! Penny, what are buyers saying? Target buyers rate it 4.7 out of 5, from 49 ratings.
One grandson plays for hours at a time! Hours, folks! Penny, there's no catch, right? Oh, there's a catch, Marty. Some buyers say the pieces are hard to attach, and one says an adult definitely needs to help. So which age do we trust, Penny? Check first! One listing says four and up, another says 36 months to 10 years, and Target says three and up. I say eight point seven out of ten, because kids build something that moves!
Sunny? Eight point one out of ten, Marty! I love the colors, but little hands may want a grown-up. I'm seven point five, those pieces are tricky. The After Dark Score's eight point one out of ten, outside our toy board's top eight. Buy it if you'll build alongside them. The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time, folks!
