Challenging but impressive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun, lengthy build that took my son over week to put together (building about 2-3 hours a day).
Pros:
- Very detailed, great for an older kid (my son is 10 and found it a good mix of average to challenging)
- The final product is impressive, with multiple moving parts including the full body, wings, and fire in the base
Cons:
- It is occasionally quite difficult to see which pegs to snap together. Even with my help, my son and I took a few minutes on some steps to figure out exactly where a piece needs to snap to the next one. It helped to look a few steps ahead to get a different view
- The pieces themselves are sometimes difficult to snap together. Slows down the process to have to wiggle the pieces together

Such an amazing model! Perfect forPokemon fans!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing model! My 12 year old son loved it and had no trouble putting it together. The details are awesome. There was some issues with the crank and making Charizard move. But once that was worked out the motion is amazing! This is a great model to display!

Great Pokemon building kit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this project, though we are not quite finished building it! My grandson has loved working on the project, but it does take some time to work through the full project. The only thing we have noticed is that he sometimes needs some help snapping the blocks fully into place by a grownup and you have to take your time to really make sure you have the correct block as you are building. We love how the fire moves up and down and can't wait to finish building Charizard and have him fly around the room.

Details are important and seen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The excitement when I received this was higher than anything else. I couldn't wait to open the large box and get to work. The pieces go together easily and add such great detail when put together. Once together it was time to check out the movement aspect, the small handle on the backend turns to move Charizard forward and back. The handle is easy to move as long as the base doesn't move, the bottom has gripper pieces to help hold it in place/avoid it from sliding around. Much bigger than expected but in a great way. The extra pieces to have Charizard's name plate in different languages was a great surprise.

Mega Awesomeness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. My 10 year old son is a huge Pokemon fan and always up for a building challenge. This set did not disappoint -- if you're looking for a building set to keep your Pokemon lover busy for a while, this is definitely worth checking out. It is definitely complex and challenging with 1,664 and 462 steps! Some support may be needed, as we had a few instances of frustration in putting small pieces together. Overall I'd say he spent about four weeks on this project. My favorite part (aside from keeping him occupied and off of screens) is the motion aspect. You can actually play with it a bit before you set it on the shelf. It was cool to build the pieces that move, because you could see how all the gears and cranks work together. Engineering in practice!

Engineering Type Build!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really neat idea to incorporate movement with a building block set. A bit tougher to put together but very impressive as an end product. Details are spot on for the design of the character. My son was definitely challenged putting it together but enjoyed the experience building and playing with it.

Worth the work!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toy is really awesome! The motion is great and the size and detail are wonderful. The assembly is quite time consuming and took quite a while for us to complete. It was worth it but wasn't the easiest to accomplish.

Great for keeping busy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great to do a little each night with homework! Over 400 directions to complete this Pokémon. Directions are in large pictures and show clearly how to assemble. Individual packages can easily rip open. My son looked forward to building it everyday. Size is perfect for display!
