LINCOLN LOGS Collector's Edition Village Set - 327 Real Wood Pieces, Ages 3+, Retro Building Toy for Boys/Girls, Creative Construction Game

My sister and I each had a basic Lincoln Log Cabin kit in the 60's when we were kids, and I always remember playing with them and enjoying it. Unfortunately my Mom gave away our original sets when we outgrew them so we don't have those anymore. For some reason this Christmas I was thinking about those old Lincoln Log sets. Being a care taker for my 82 year old Mom now, I was also looking for some good ideas for toys that will help her with organization and following directions etc., and it suddenly occurred to me that Lincoln Logs provide many of the skills she needs practice with, and they're fun too! So after doing a little research I decided to get this Collectors Edition Village set for her this Christmas. When the box arrived I had her open it and her eyes lit up with recognition and excitement. We opened the bags of pieces and parts together and carefully counted all of them to make sure we got all 327 parts, and sure enough we did, including 5 extra small pieces. On the first evening, working together with her, she built 2 buildings and was totally engaged in reading through the all illustrated instructions, gathering the necessary pieces to build the building, and actually assembling it. It really worked her organizational, mechanical, spacial recognition, order of operations skills and so much more. In three nights we had built the entire village! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, me or her! Such a trip down memory lane for both of us! Every few days I'll tear down a few buildings and she rebuilds them again, and each time I can see improvement in the skills and organization required to complete a model. I think the quality of the pieces is great. I actually have one small log from my original set and I compared it to the pieces in this set. The old ones are lighter and stained darker and are probably made of pine. The pieces in the new set are solid maple, stained a lighter color and a slightly bigger than the old piece. Don't be discouraged by other reviews on here that complain the pieces fit together loosely or that there aren't enough long pieces to really build anything etc. If you follow the included diagrams you will have enough pieces to build the entire village simultaneously as shown in my picture. Yes the pieces fit loosely but they are meant to. Once you put the cross braces in the become much more stable and can easily be moved around by pushing on the base once completely built. And best of all Lincoln Logs are made in the good old U.S.A. I love this set and it will be used for years to come. In fact I just ordered a second set so we'll have more pieces to get creative with and design our own structures.

We have three young grandchildren, but not many toys for them to play with during their visits. While searching for new toys, Lincoln Logs came up in my search results, and I was instantly reminded of how much fun I had playing with them as a child. I decided to order this set, and it was the perfect choice! The grandkids absolutely loved playing with them, and to be honest, I had a blast too! The included tin is great for storing the logs when they’re not around. If you’re looking for a classic toy that will keep everyone entertained, do yourself and your kids or grandkids a favor and get these. They’ll love them!

Pricy but nice as expected

As a kid, I enjoyed these, yet we were always missing pieces. When I was working on childcare, I'd play with the kids with these, except they were off brand. I could tell. I know without a doubt, this'll be great value for money. Easy to build with, fun for pretty much kids and adults! The color is much more beautiful than I remember. The ones we had as kids, did have those little plastic roofs, doors and windows. though. These don't, but I don't care! WELCOME BACK MY CHILDHOOD!

Really nicely made set with a great and durable storage tin. Fast shipping. This is EXACTLY like what we played with as kids and my boys spend HOURS being Lincoln log engineers building all sorts of imaginative structures. Splinter free, well milled, fit together great. Colors are matched. NOTE: most of the piece count is the little one blocks, and there is only 1 chimney and a shortage of the longer boards for more complex buildings. If you have several kids you WILL referee a fight over the chimney. I bought a second set just to defuse the ‘learn to share’ useless parental lecture to a 5 year old. Heck, I am 50 and I don’t share…..

Perfect size. Grandson loves them

Container came half smashed but the contents inside were fine. Logs are nice solid wood and nicely varnished. Much of an upgrade from the 1970s logs. Will hold up for many years of play.

They’re the original Lincoln Logs, what more can I say? Kids love Lincoln Logs and our little guy who is autistic absolutely loves his Lincoln Logs. The only gripe we have is that there are an odd number of roofing sections so you are always one section short of completing the roof which is annoying, especially to a 5 yr old autistic child who is obsessed with making and completing things, everything has to be just so. We are working with him to accept that not everything can be perfect but it’s hard for him. The product itself is of good quality, no complaints there. My husband and I are enjoying our family time with our little guy as we build structures together. Just more roofing sections, an even number of pieces, would have made this the perfect gift.

De niño me regalaron uno y lo disfrute por años, ahora me toca a mi regalarlo.

Kids love it so does Papa. Great activity to do together with the little ones.

Son lo máximo. Buena calidad y variedad. Vale la pena el costo.

Such an amazing leaning toy and super durable my 4 and 8 year olds absolutely love this and it brings back great childhood memories

This is a quality toy that the adults enjoying playing with too. My granddaughter has played with it almost every day since getting it 6 months ago.
