K'NEX Collector's Edition Lincoln Logs Wooden Case

I was looking for something for a (5) year old to do that did not involve a computer, TV, video game console or hand held game. Not a lot out there that was going to keep him entertained that was not Hot Wheels.
Then I saw this.
I knew I wanted all wood, and did not want it in a plastic bag or cardboard tube.
This set is beautiful. Everything fits into the all wood case, and there is NO plastic! His parents were delighted, and he loves building with it.
Finally.......something to play with that does not fall apart or end up all over the house.

We love these logs, but were very disappointed to find out that the number of logs is really not enough. You can really build just one house, and not a large one. For a toy of 100$ I would expect at least 3 times more logs.

The case is so heavy, it hearts my back to carry it from room to room. And this also means, that shipping is very very expensive.

i actually got it on an amazon sale for $20 w/free shipping.
it's really the same as the regular ones but the case weighs about 15 pounds and the logs are a different color so they dont really match the regular ones. There's even a warning on it that because they are stained the color may rub off... I think that all of the logs from all sets are all wood, but the newer sets have plastic pieces for the roof while this collectors set has a wooden roof.

I was so impressed when I opened this set. The box is super-nice. Everything is real wood, which is great. I bought the Lincoln Logs as a gift for my nephew and actually considered keeping them for myself! (I did give them to the child, but he shared.) A lot of the Lincoln Log sets you can buy in stores now are cheap and come with plastic parts. This is not one of those sets - very nice, well made, and awesome box for storage so the Lincoln Logs will not be strewn about the house.

Gave this to boys 4 and 10.It is very heavy and well built case with enough logs to build several buildings. At the family Christmas party everyone tried it out and loved it. The older boys (30-65)were especially jealous.
