Editorial Review
Tinker Toys have entertained kids for decades--ever since their 1913 invention by Charles Pajeau, who was inspired by children playing with pencils and empty spools of thread. This set features 102 versatile wooden spools, connectors, and brightly colored dowels packed in an easy-to-store keepsake canister. Simply add a child's imagination for hours of creative fun. --Jane Snyder

 Great toy ruined by poor quality February 15, 2010
SeaDad (Seattle, WA)
I loved tinker toys when I was a kid. Unfortunately, the quality of this toy is awful. All of the holes in the hub pieces are oversize, so the sticks won't stay in them. Everything just falls apart, which is very frustrating for the kids. I know from my childhood experience that the fit of the pieces can vary due to humidity - loose in the winter and tight in the summer. But all of the parts are just ridiculously loose - I have to wrap the ends of the sticks with aluminum foil to make them stay in the hubs. We've purchased 2 (Tinkertoy Classic Jumbo) sets in a year, and had the same experience with both. This is a wonderful, educational toy. If only Hasbro could make it correctly. I recommend buying vintage sets on ebay.

You can't go wrong with a set of Tinkertoys for children old enough not to be in danger of choking on small objects. This set was for the fourth generation of my family, a gift for my two grandsons, to play with Tinkertoys. They never go out of favor . . . and they never need batteries and have no annoying sound effects!
 Tinker toys like originals January 9, 2010

Purchased two of these tinker toy sets for granddaughters. They are as I remember them, wood with nice mix of pieces. The only down side is the pictures of projects are small and that makes it difficult for a young child to follow, even I had problems. But that aside, product is good, delivery prompt, price was very good with free shipping
U.S. Army Afghanistan relaxation January 7, 2010
J. Codding (USA)
I bought this tinker toy set as a giggle, memory Christmas gift for my grandson in the army who is stationed in Afghanistan. The guys loved it -his
NCO took the set away from him and started building right away. when they have a little free time they amuse themselves building with it. The guys like dominoes, cards and other types of games to forget the tension for a while.. My grandson - and all the other grands (10)- always played with these at our home years ago. June C

Just awful. I threw it out!
It was purchased for my four year old grand daughter. I sat down to build with her as I remembered Tinkertoy and loved it so much from my childhood.The holes in the circular shapes were all irregular in size and it was frustrating finding the rods that would fit in. I should have sent it back for a refund. This is nothing like the original tinkertoy in quality or construction.
I rated it as one star because it would not accept a perfect zero.
