Ideas Mechanical Shark Building Set - with Display Stand and Light, Marine Animal with Linkage Function, for Adults, Ocean & Mechanical Enthusiasts. (Compatible with Legos for Boys Age 8-12)

He wants to be an engineer or mechanic. So he loves when his lego sets have moving parts and gears. We had a blast getting this thing together, only downside is you have to dump all the bags at the beginning, so have some work space! It's a bit bigger than I thought it would be, looks like the photo of the product, was a decent price, build quality was good, was fun, but that coil bit for the light will definitely test every shred of patience you have. That part took the longest and I had to get creative with trying to figure out how to twist and feed it while not breaking other bits. It took some time. But we got it after a couple breaks lol very cool project!

Make sure the child is mechanical inclined to be able to assemble this. I would not buy for a younger child. Great product for engineering student .

My son loved building this shark and it came out super cool. Only reason for the 4 star rating is that it was missing two significant unique pieces. There are two silver robotic fins on the opened side of the shark. My son and I completed the entire thing on Christmas day, but these two fins were not in the box. We contacted the maker and are waiting to see if they will send us the two pieces. Other than that this is a pretty cool and detailed shark and the lighting looks great

This is an interesting and different kit. The pieces fit well, and none were missing. The completed model is hinged in a few places, so the body bends back and forth as you turn the crank. It displays well on our shelf too.

Very complex build leading to lots of meltdowns. Even the adults had difficulty. Light feature was nearly impossible to complete. Pieces break apart w slightest pressure. Got through the whole thing and 1 basepiece pushed too far in and couldn't be removed resulting in mechanical failure of crank. Ugh. Also top heavy and will likely small to Pieces if it ever falls off base

I bought this for my godchild and he absolutely loved it.

This took maybe 3-4 hrs for my bf and I to assemble, it was a little frustrating but imo the instructions were quite clear, there's color coding and well drawn details if you pay attention to the pieces drawn out properly. The box it comes in is very pretty too! It'll be good for our display. The baggies the pieces came in were kinda pointless, you really have to dig into everything to find what you need tbh. But overall, pretty piece
