Rocket Car

Comments about Rocket Car:

This was a gift-by-mail for my distant grandson's 10th birthday. It was listed for ages 8 and up, or perhaps 8 to 11. However, it came unassembled,with many parts that were somewhat flimsy and breakable, and the instructions were on an adult level. He was very excited by the idea of the gift and he tried to put it together on his own, but he was unsuccessful. Finally his father was afraid that the parts would break with continuous handling, or that some of them would go lost. So he told his son to put it all away carefully until his father had time to help him assemble it. In the meantime his birthday is long over, and who knows when he (and his Dad) will finally get to use the car. His Dad says it is a great idea, and if it works it will be worth it? But who knows if and when it will ever work, or how well?

I don't usually mind assembly, but this was kind of tough. I can't comment on the durability; we haven't wrecked it yet, though. Just plain cool.
