LEGO 31045 Creator Ocean Explorer Building Set - STEM Science Toy for Kids Ages 6-12 | Underwater Adventure Playset for Creative Play & Learning

Summary: Same lego bricks that I remember from when I was a kid.The Good:- Lego branded instructions are really easy to follow, especially compared to the generically branded lego bricks.- I purchased this via Amazon Warehouse deals at a discount, when the product arrived the only issue I noticed was that the box was damaged a small bit (as if the box was dropped onto a corner or something).- Lego has a consistent "clutch" power compared to generic building blocks.- I was able to build the ship and the mini submarine with my son in about 45 minutes.- The ABS plastic that lego uses with their bricks is more consistent than their generic competitors and really hard.The Bad:- As of recent I have been purchasing generic branded lego(s) I have never had an issue with a brick missing from the generic branded building blocks; with this lego set I found that one white brick with the nubs on one forward face, in addition to the nubs on the top of the brick was missing -- In its place I found a normal 2x1x2 white block.- A significant portion of the bricks in this set had at least one nub on the top of the brick where it appeared that the ABS plastic was injected into the mold via a pinhole but, the little extra but where the injection occurred was not tumbled off or trimmed off.Other Thoughts:- When purchasing this product I was under the impression that I could build the boat, plane, and submarine all together and play with my kid with all of those vehicles at once -- It turns out that all the bricks in this set allow you to build 1 of those 3, which the concept is interesting and empowers kids to think about their options when free building with the bricks.Demographics: I am 28 years old, male, live in Minnesota USA, my son is 2 years old, we play with legos together -- he can only play with the small bricks like these when he is supervised.
