"i already had legos on me from when i was a kid, and i bought this one plus a small lego classic kit (the green one with the tractor and alligators) and its been great. Its has alot of generic pieces which you can build anything with. I must say the piece count is not accurate as they are less when you count individual parts and not how many pieces of plastic there is* but i would recomend this for someone who is new to lego and want to start, i wish it had wheels included (thats why i bought the lego classic as a plus) but beyond that great kit !"
