The child they were purchased for (9yo boy) wasn't quite ready for something so advanced. The item was great & as expected. He's just still on more of a basic lego sets level. The mechanical aspects of this type of build were too advanced for him. The product itself was very well built, sturdy & instructions were well written & easy to follow. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pay attention to instructions *by G***O on August 19, 2024* To keep my mind sharp ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Nephew loved it! *by E***E on January 4, 2019* It's my nephew's first Meccano toy and loved it! ## Frequently Bought Together - MECCANO Erector Roadster 5-in-1 Building Kit, 174 Parts, STEM Engineering Education Toy for Ages 8 and Up - MECCANO, 10-in-1 Racing Vehicles STEM Model Building Kit with 225 Parts and Real Tools, Kids Toys for Ages 8 and up - MECCANO, 25-in-1 Motorized Supercar STEM Model Building Kit with 347 Parts, Real Tools and Working Lights, Kids Toys for Ages 10 and Up --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/90120648-erector-roadster-5-in-1-building-kit-174-parts-stem](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/90120648-erector-roadster-5-in-1-building-kit-174-parts-stem) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
