Just ordered this set as a starter for grandson. If I want to add to it do I have to buy a certain series or what is recommended?

I would recommend primal origins deluxe edition over this. If you wanted something cheap to add to it add a $10 geagia structure deck. There is no certain series you have to add. The packs just have different cards and each card with a certain rarity. All in all, I have bought this product before and it is pretty good but I still prefer primal origins deluxe edition over this.

It is a complete set with figures. The box shows details of exactly what is in the set. You don't need add ons to play with this set but both my grandsons ages 6 and 7 have added all their china figures so they can wage big battles. But you do not need to buy any extra sets. of course, once the child starts with Chima there is no end in sight. It is pretty amazing.

We got this set for our 6 yr old. He needs a lot of help from us though. I think it is a fine starter kit to see if there is interest. My sister uses this kit at her school-age aftercare program and says all of the kids enjoy this kit (kinder-8th grade).

These are the starter pack characters. I'm not aware of any choices. They're included in the box.

As Lego sets go it's a pretty decent value. It has multiple mini figures, a structure and a "vehicle" for the mini figures. My nephew likes to construct a set from the included instructions, deconstruct and then reconstruct in different configurations, sometimes reverting to the original (if he can find all the pieces.) He has many sets and they all tend to end up mixed together after a while. It's his favorite toy. You really can't go wrong with Lego. Even his older sister likes to build with them.

Correct, you have to buy the one that says its a set if you want the full set. Sometimes you don't need the number that come in the set or you need more. This lets you buy more or less.

You need the original game first. The expansion set is just to add on more cards to your base set.

Which ever one he wants the most! Some kids have a harder time and get frustrated putting them together. Start with a set that cost around 20 bucks before you by him something more expensive and more complicated. Let him develope his talent instead of throwing something overwhelming at him. Have fun!

I'm an adult and I love to play with my son's set. You can use it with wooden blocks and other items from around the house (like plastic funnels, etc.); so keep that in mind. And to C. Bryson, try building it up higher with blocks. I would suggest buying 2 sets, if you can afford it; maybe even 3. The more sets, the larger you can build your run, and use blocks or other toys/household items to create ramps, etc.

I didn't really pay that much attention. I was buying for so many grandkids. You can find these at Farm & Home stores, probably at Toys R Us, etc. You might go check it out at one of those stores, though you will get it cheaper for sure through Amazon.

I purchased my first 4 sets from QVC on TV. I just got this set plus one with 16 extra pieces for the current birthday boy who requested them. He'll get his on Saturday. Just make sure you have a variety of pieces in whatever set you buy. Any hands-on manipulative toys that inspire imagination and creativity are good!

I purchased the set as is from Amazon. Contacting the seller might be a better source for the information you seek.

I agree with the other comments. You can do a lot more creative building with this set. I actually bought it by accident thinking it was the same as the other and trying to expand my grandson's building options. He loves the new pieces with wheels and windows.

There are some small micro ships to build, but if building is what he likes to do a regular set might be better yes. This set does have some cool pieces and figures that are only available in this set. It is worth it at a reduced price.

If you do not have the Junior set, I would recommend you get the Snap Circuits SC-300 instead. It retails at about USD40 and Ranked #1 in Physics Toys & Games. Snap Circuits SC-300 Electronics Discovery Kit

Buy the set from Gaiam for eighty dollars. You can get the old one that is not electric from amazon.

Really it's just preference: How many pieces, size, design, etc. One of the biggest deciding factors for me is what minifigures the set comes with. Also you might want to check when the set gets retired. If it gets retired soon it will increase in price/value/availability pretty quickly afterwards. Also another big thing is if a set is currently kn sale. You can save a lot and get more Lego if you pay attention to sales. I hope this helped you out!
