Not pleased
Challenging to put together and very fragile
Not what I expected
I have not yet given this present or opened it, but I am disappointed. It was not at all what I expected and cannot think a 6 year old even with help could appreciate it.
Wal-Mart using fraudulent tactics to capture sales
The product is good, 5 stars, but the Wal-Mart purchasing/pickup process was truly awful. It appears that, in an effort to combat Amazon, Wal-Mart is falsely advertising products as "in-stock" when they are not at all in-stock for the location shown. I purchased this item, and the checkout process mimicked in ALL ways any other retailer's e-commerce "click-and-collect" option. When I arrived at the store, I was told they did not have the item, and I found I had received an email in the interim stating that my item would arrive in FIVE DAYS. The store's customer service rep apologized for the confusion, researched the item and told me it was in stock at another location 20km away. Because I wanted the item for Christmas, I asked them to cancel my order and I drove to the other location. This store also did not have the item in stock. and after a much longer investigation by multiple employees, they realized it is a warehouse-only product. So, I re-ordered from the website, my child received an I-O-U on Christmas morning and I collected the item from a store several days after Christmas. Wal-Mart is an embarrassment and should be ashamed of their tactics. i wouldn't be surprised if this practice is contrary to Canadian law.
Excellent learning toy
Excellent project and learning tool for kids. Really needs adult supervision to put it together but works well. Even a bit difficult for adults to assemble

Orbiting Solar System
Constructing it was fun, but that was it really.
Inspiring
I bought this for grandchildren for Christmas. I love the looks of it and I think it’s an inspiring project for all the family. It’s perfect.
Fun activity kit for kids
I got this kit for my nephews and they loved seeing the different features of each planet / how they move relative to the sun and to each other. It was an easy assembly but exciting activity for them. Filled up a couple hours of our afternoon. Would recommend.
Fun building project.
Fantastic little project to build together. Cool functions with the transparent sun and the spinning gears inside.
So far my son has
So far my son has had no difficulty assembling the model. There are clear and concise instructions and the model pieces are numbered.
My granddaughter loved it
My granddaughter loved it
Poor Quality
Hard to assemble, flimsy and comes apart very easily, cheap materials, very loud when turned on even though it moves super slow. Don’t recommend.
Orbiting solar system
A present for a grandchild, which I’m sure he will love building
This is a great little box If you're like me you get out the ruler trying to envision exactly how big the box is 13 crayons This box holds 13 crayola crayons
