Customize and control every aspect of your Meccasaur: he’s highly programmable, interactive, and performs a variety of cool actions! A pair of the green rubber push in eyes can be added, however they do fall out easily when being handled by children and I soon left them out. Having been around for over a century, Meccano has stood the test of time and modern kits today come in all shapes and sizes.

And for the little problem solvers, check out our collection of jigsaws that’ll keep them engaged and mentally stimulated. Unlike LEGO, where you push the parts together, with Mecanno you need to get the balance right between the tightness of parts and their ability to move to play with it and Isaac found that it needed lots of re-adjustment to get it just right.The rear of each leg has a four hole Flat Strip bolted to the lower Double Block and the strips on the rear leg are also bolted to the rear of the body. They're not only great fun to play with but also help your child improve skills like logical thinking and problem-solving. The inside of each leg has a pair of two hole Flat Strips connecting the two Double Blocks together. The current rebuild has survived over a year of "play" with (now) several children, and only an occasional tightening of bolts being required. A pair of seven hole Flat Strips lie underneath the central pair of nine hole Flat Strips along the top providing extra support and acting as spacers for the internal bracing.

Everything is done to make the movements and appearance of Meccano dinosaurs as realistic as possible: articulated jaws, lenticular eyes, removable spine thanks to the new ball joint system. Discover our toddler-friendly building blocks by Mega Bloks—just the thing your kids need for developing their early motor skills and hand-eye coordination. It should also possible to replace many of the Locking Pins with Bolts which should increase the strength of the neck and tail joints. This model has been previously described and published in the Johannesburg Meccano Hobbyists Newsletter, January 2001, Volume 5 Number 3.In fact, he started building it on the 12th May and it has taken him 3 weeks and a lot of encouragement to get it finished! We have something for all ages, including classic wooden building blocks for tiny ones and complex construction sets for kids, so they can build their very own spaceships, supercars and so much more.

This meant I used the wrong bolt in three places and had to backtrack because the control unit did not join properly with the body and one claw had too short a bolt. Both pairs of tops and bottoms are attached to the sides of the box section using a pair of Short Double Brackets.

The sides are strengthened and properly angled by bolting a Triangle piece to each side of both box sections. We bought our children a set and they really struggled with it as they are used to instant results with other construction toys. The head is built from a Large Angle Block with a pair of three hole Flat Strips which hold the lower jaw in position. Create from one day to the next the most famous dinosaurs like Tyranosaurus, Stegosaure, Velociraptor or Triceratops. The pack comes with 179 parts split up into plastic bags, which helps you find the parts you are looking for and all the tools you need to build your epic creation, including a screw driver, wrench, screws and bolts.

Meccano toys are great for boosting STEM skills, and if you have multiple kits, you can mix and match the pieces. Whether you’re looking for beginner-level puzzles to get them started or a complex set that’ll get them scratching their heads, we’ve got something for every age. Movements are walk forward, walk left, walk right, charge attack, lunge attack, ask a yes/no question (he nods appropriately), and room guard mode (he has a microphone and light sensor). The lower box section sides are pairs of nine hole Flat Strips and its top and bottom are both made from another pair of nine hole Flat Strips. Your loyal Meccasaur will respond to any intruders with a mighty roar that’s sure to send anyone running in fear!They are made freely available to Meccano modellers on condition that they are not copied and distributed in any form for sale, whether or not the sale is for profit or merely 'at cost'. Our construction and building sets offer hours of imaginative play that helps your kid bring out the best of their creative side. The four Flat Strips on top are raised by a crosswise four hole Flat Strip at each end and the central pair of nine hole Flat Strips are raised again by a Plate at each end. Check out our selection of LEGO Friends sets featuring mini figures that are extremely detailed and realistic.
