Hammacher Schlemmer Empire State Building Micro Block Set Review

Thank You to Hammacher Schlemmer for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review. 

I received The Empire State Building Micro Block Set to base my review


My 13 year old son loves anything that he can build. Since he  was walking he has been a fan of blocks. There is truly nothing he cannot build with a good set of blocks. I was super excited to find this Empire State Building Block Set on their site. I knew immediately that this would be something he would truly enjoy. It keeps him focused and paying attention to detail. This is the perfect gift for the builder in your life. 

About the product:

This set forms New York City's iconic Empire State Building. Composing 740 multi-sized pieces, the model snaps together easily with the aid of an included color instruction booklet that guides builders through constructing a series of modules to form the 1:2065-scale model. The block's different colors and sizes produce recognizable details of Manhattan's most famous landmark, such as translucent blue blocks that make up its 6,500 windows and gray blocks that form its Indiana limestone exterior. Other details include the numerous architectural setbacks that reproduce its multi-terraced, tapering shape and its unmistakable pinnacle. This set is recommended for those ages 8 and up. 

Buy It! You can purchase this set directly from their site HERE for $49.95

    I have a nephew that would just love something like this. I've heard of Hammacher Schlemmer before but wasn't sure what they made. This would make a great Christmas present.
