Is this too young for a 12 year old?

Depands. Is it a 'knows-how-to-be-safe-around-lasers' twelve year old, or a 'how-dangerous-can-I-be' twelve year old? This is not really a toy, but a serious tool.

It is for 6-12 year olds. I got it for my grandson last year who is 10. He is in to anything "spy" and he loves it. Hope this helps.

I purchased for a 10 year old. Not particularly 'advanced' but fun. He was trying to keep his sister out of his room. lol

If it is building difficulty you are looking for, this set may be too easy for a 12 year old. But as my son says, it is not always about the building, it is just FUN!! If your 12 year old is really into Minecraft, this will probably be a great way to have real and virtual worlds co-exist.

No, too young. Wait until the child is three. Small parts! Also, not enough manual dexterity yet to enjoy the toy.

It depends on the 12 year old. Ours was on the weaker side. Small, not to active. When we got this he couldn't pull the string even though it is pretty weak. It took about a year before he had the ability to do so, but now he enjoys it. If you are concerned, go with a traditional short-bow. It is far easier to draw than the compound.

i would have to agree that it it probably for a child aged 8 or above who is mechanically inclined. lots of small parts. need patience and the ability to work with mechanical objects. my 12 year old got it last year (?) and now has already out grown it.....but he is very "engineer minded". he creates new and wonderful things with these pieces, his lego technics and his k-nex.

I suppose you can. I haven't tried. I think they would be too big for a 12 year old.

My son is now nearly 9. He's 85 pounds and 4'8 tall. He still loves his go-glider, but I anticipate he will grow out of it this year. I teach 7th graders, so am cognizant of their size; I think it would be too small for a typical 12 year old. Hope that helps!

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

Yes, I believe so. The detail is extensive and being 16"x20" I think your 12 year would become very discouraged quickly.

I'd probably wait a until the child was closer to 2. I purchased it for my grandson who had just turned 2 and he figured it out fairly easily but as we have since discovered, unlike his older brother, he apparently got the "puzzle gene". He loves puzzles and can do them just about as well as his 4 1/2 yr. old brother. They are both bright little boys but just look at the world differently. Even if the 12 month old has the "puzzle gene", it will most likely be months before he/she is ready for the beginner pattern one. There are some other Melissa and Doug puzzles that would be better starters - I'd look in to the Jumbo Knob ones for now.

Yes, a 12 yr old can definitely hold this weapon. He will probably struggle with the cocking mechanism when you do the "lock and load". It is hard to crank. This toy is a full size replica of the real M14 and looks really nice but very very fragile.

Yes, but I think it is more appropriate for 7-10 yr olds. It is also small for a 14 yr old.

The rifle and scope combined are probably too heavy for a 12 year old. I'm an avid squirrel hunter in the swamps of north Florida and my bolt action 22 with a big leupold scope is lighter than the wood stock Crossman. Target shooting off hand will not be much fun for a 12 year old. Check the specifications on weight. I forget what it weighs but it is, I'm almost sure, well over 6 lbs.

no. I purcjased it for my 12 year old who loves however our 8 year old has a difficult time controlling it

Yes, i purchased this for my 12 yr old girl & she loves it. Its the perfect sz & my 11 yr old son uses it all the time.

I purchased this one for my 9 year old but I'm sure it would be fine for a 12 year old. I bought a different one for my 11 year old daughter though. Their very popular and they love to ride their friends.

Maybe it is a bit kiddie for a 12 year old though but....who knows it is Lego! Extra Lego bits are likely/always appreciated but Lego set that build something specific is likely more appropriate. Most of the DC comic line is very good Lego City and Star Wars are also sought after. It all depends on the kids interest.
