9/19/11: Mega Bloks Blok Squad Construction Unit Mission Review

It's Mission Possible with the Blok Squad Construction Unit Mission! 
This set provides endless fun for kids (and me too as I helped put it together) as they can build and pick up in Bloktropolis.
I was lucky enough to receive the Blok Squad Construction Unit Mission to review.  Evan had a great time playing with it.  He loves trucks and construction vehicles so this was right up his alley.  I helped him put it together.  Here he is all ready with all the pieces separated.
This toy is for 5+. Generally when you think of Mega Bloks you may think of the larger blocks for smaller children, but this is intended for a bit older kids transitioning to micro blocks for more detailed builds. It comes with two vehicles and two figures, including a 4X4 and Front Loader. Kids can collect them and combine Blok Squad vehicles to build heavy-duty machines. You can see other Squads here including Fire Patrol, Police and Construction.  This is what it looks like, you can find more pictures here
 Here we were starting to put it together.  Included were 218 pieces and I found the directions easy to follow.
The finished product.
Evan figured out right away how to flip the top to put the person in.
What fun, I didn't take video but there was a lot of beeping and truck noises involved.
 
 He likes it!  And of course, what boy wouldn't.
Lauren getting in to the fun.
This set retails for $9.99 and is available at Toys "R" Us, toysrus.com, Walmart, walmart.com, Amazon.com.
