We have the GeoTrax train system :

http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=5750&e=products

The quality is very good, and the pieces are big, suitable for 3 years old. It is sold in local department stores.

If you buy more train tracks, the child can think of new designs to construct. It is a good introduction to construction toys.

Hi Tamarind,
http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=900000&e=storeproduct&pn=L9183&site=us is this the extra train tracks?

it is cheaper to get the set locally or at http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-GeoTrax-Control-Timbertown-Railway/dp/B001W1YG56/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1315933659&sr=1-1 ?

thanks.

Hi seashell,
I bought my geo trax locally. Note that shipping form amazon can cost more than the price of the toy, I normally buy from them only if I cannot find it locally. You can try Takashimaya or Robinsons.

I may be selling my old set of geo trax soon

seashell,

I don't remember seeing this set in Singapore yet so I cannot compare:

How old is your child ? I highly recommend KNEX but these are suitable for 7 and above, though my boy played with them when he was 5 to 6 years old.

Hi Tamarind,

what’s the price range for the set you currently own so that I can take as reference.

4yrs old. i will be getting KNEX. thanks for the recommendation.

are there any other toys that are worth to buy from amazon?

thanks again.

Hi seashell,

I bought my set during a warehouse sale at $99 a few years ago.

Check the age when selecting KNEX, the more complicated sets have very small pieces, not suitable for children. Lego is suitable for 4 years old but since shipping is expensive, it is better to buy in Singapore.

My kids like ZOOB, but it is more suitable for 5 to 6 years old children.

Remember to check the target age of the toy before purchasing.

any idea where to buy KNEX in Singapore?


TIA

At the moment, there’s no distributor in Singapore for KNEX. I asked a favour from my fren who was returning from US to buy a set for me.


You can try amazon.

Hi insider,
Read through the threads and understand that you bought this erector set. I'm looking at buying one too. Would you mind sharing your reviews? How's the quality of the metal parts? Is it made of stainless steel? I wonder if these parts will turn rusty if we keep for a long time. Thanks in advance.

Hi, anyone know where to get this toy in Singapore?

I bought ten yrs plus ago from JB for my nephew. Now I still playing it with my son and it still looks very good and new. But I need to have more sets in order to make more design. :thankyou:
