Advantages: Lego is fundamentally good, and you get 3 designs for the price of 1

Disadvantages: The 3 designs are very similar

Lego has done a very clever thing in bringing out their range of 3 in 1 creators, as it gives kids (and those of us who are bigger kids!) the facility to build 3 Lego toys from one set of Lego parts. The Lego Creators are a favourite with my son, and I find them rather good value.

This particular one has 3 'cars' to build, and in this respect, it's not quite as good as some of the others where you can get a plane, a boat and a helicopter, for example. This one gives you a jeep, a sporty car with spoiler, and what seems to be a racing car, I guess similar to a Formula 3 car, really.

The predominant colour is green, with grey interspersed throughout each of the designs, and it's not a particularly complicated Lego build, with the instructions having between 30 and 40 stages for each of the cars. The instructions are split into two booklets, with two cars in one and one in the other, with the rest of the pages filled with advertising and a list of the contents. There are just over 160 pieces, and once formed, the cars actually seem quite intricate, and fun to play with.

However, this didn't get my son as interested as Lego usually does, as he wasn't too bothered about rebuilding it to make yet another car! He was happy playing with the car he had built, and it is a great way to get kids to be creative, be patient and follow instructions. I find my son loves all of his Lego toys.

If you were to buy just the one Lego toy with one set of instructions, then the toy would probably cost a bit less. As a result, with this one costing around the £8 mark, I find it's not the greatest value as the designs are rather similar to each other. In this way, it's a bit of a cop out from the Lego Creators creators (!), and not as good as the others. However, I do still recommend it as a good Lego toy for kids, the 3 in 1 aspect aside, and the Creators series in general are a good idea from Lego.

Summary: Quality lego but the 3 in 1 is less exciting with this one
