I first started to do knex with my son. We loved it, we had most of the sets back then and built fabulous things together. Our biggest one was the Ferris Wheel that was motorized. It took weeks.
Now I am doing knex with my grandson. It brings back such great memories for my son. He is so excited to be doing knex with his son.
I think there are two reasons why this set is marked at age 7+. First, most of the designs do not have instructions. So you need to use a magnifying glass to see the examples in the instruction booklet. There are designs on the K'NEX website which are nice too, but they use a white background so you can't see the white pieces well. Again, some squinting and spatial intelligence is required to figure it out. Second, attaching a rod perpendicular to a connector requires A LOT of dexterity and strength. I broke a piece trying to snap one in today and the shrapnel hit me in the face. I would rate it about as difficult as unscrewing the lid from a jar: some people will not be able to do it no matter how old they are.
I think K'NEX is better than Legos, particularly for this young age group. With Legos, you end up making 1-3 designs (see their Creator series) and then you're done building them forever. K'NEX allows much more variation and adaptation to your design. For example, if you spent over $200 and bought the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon 75105 Star Wars Toy you could only make ONE cool thing with it. In contrast, you could make a similar-sized Millennium Falcon with K'NEX with about $70 worth of pieces (and probably every other model in this set). The trade-off is realism vs versatility/playtime. With this age group, versatility and hours of playtime are going to win every time. Once they're old enough to have a credit card, then Legos and Bricklink become an option. But by then, can you even consider Legos a toy any more?
The only knock I have against this set is while it says it is a "100 build set," the booklet that is included only had maybe 20 different builds. At the back of the booklet it says "visit this website to see the others." I get that it saves them cost on paper but I don't want me son staring at a tablet to see his instructions, I wish they'd just been included from the get-go.
Overall, a very small issue on an otherwise excellent product.
This set does not have all the instructions to build what they show in the pamphlet that comes with it. You have to go online to get them and unfortunately, we haven't been able to do so on particular builds. We find that frustrating but the 13 year old was able to look at the picture and figure it out.
Definitely not to be used around toddlers or dogs that like to chew on plastic as the some of the pieces are very small.
