I find myself wishing my kids were just a little bit younger; I think they would’ve loved these when they were smaller. I think of all those looooong winters in the frozen north when playing inside because “so boring” and wish we’d had Toobeez back then.
What are Toobeez? Think giant Tinker Toys, ready for building life-size creations. The reviews are mixed, but the prices are at all-time lows and frankly, I can’t imagine not loving these as a little kid.
(Where? On Amazon, of course.)
Toobeez Ultimate Life Size Building Kit for $50 (67% off)
Toobeez Playhouse Kit for $70 (53% off)
Toobeez Super Fort Kit for $170 (43% off)
It would be wrong to get a set of these for my office, right? Don’t answer that.
This is the answer to my kids pleas for “more blankets” to build bigger forts! And something to do the week after Christmas besides fight over the Wii. Thanks!
Just when I think I’m done with my shopping, another great deal…I’m going to have to order with the quick shipping to get it here by Christmas for my 4 yr. old. He’ll love it!
Thanks. FWIW that second link looks like it is just a more expensive price on the same item as in the first link
Re: Julie W. It looked that way to me too…
Thanks Mir! The 114 piece fort has been on my Amazon wish list for at least a year. I just prchased 2 of the 57 piece sets so I think I’m essentially getting what I’ve been thinking would be cool for my kids for 1/3 the price!
Oh man! When I was a kid, we had “Pipeworks,” which seem sort of similar to these, but there were also wheels and you could make vehicles. SO AWESOME. Life-sized tinker-toys you could play in and on…loved them. I actually think my mom has held onto our set all these years, for future grandkids to play with.
These are a lightning deal this afternoon – people might want to watch for it! I think its the playhouse set.
