A very excellent set.

Bought this "for my son" for Christmas, and its such an amazing set. It's a very long and detailed build so be aware going in, but the instructions are very detailed so they make the whole process much easier.
The micro figures are very cool too. If you like building stuff like this and you like Masters of the Universe I can't recommend this enough to you.
Great product!

Who liked it more Kid or Dad?

My husband has been a He Man fan since he was a kid. He passed that love onto our kids. They have been working on this castle for a few weeks now. Little bit here and there. It has cool little tweaks that make this special. Will post completed photos when they are done. I thought this was a tad pricey but the family loves it.

Awesome detailing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was a He-Man guy ever since he was 4 years old, and he was beyond excited that my son loves it just as much as he did/does! So when Play, Rate & Review Program allowed my family to build one for an honest review we were thrilled!
The amount of detail was beyond impressive. Inside the super cool box was 4 more boxes so you didnt have every single piece out on the table, this made it so much less frustrating to build! Plus no stickers to put on! All the amazing details are already on the individual bricks- we so appreciated that. It was hours of fun to build and so many more hours of fun playing with it!

Awesome set that brings back memories
on July 19, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Growing up, I loved to watch HeMan Masters of the Universe. However, I couldn't afford to get Castle Grayskull as a kid. This product lets me relive those memories! This set is so much fun, from the time spent building it to the time spent playing with it. The castle is quite detailed for a building set, and it comes with lots of characters. The only drawback I saw was that it didn't come with ALL the key characters (some you would have to purchase in a separate set).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Huge Detailed Building Set
on July 18, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, this Mega Construx set is huge. I knew from the piece count that it would be large, but the box is about two feet by a little over one foot. The presentation when you open it is beautiful. There's full color art on the inside of the lid, and a manual that's nearly as big as the box. The pieces are separated into four numbered interior boxes that also have some nice black and white artwork. The manual has huge pictures and more full color artwork. The instructions are pretty clear and use colored dots to help you align pieces where it might not otherwise be clear.
Though I chose this mostly for my oldest child (11 1/2), it is such a big project that there was plenty to do for everyone. In fact, the instructions are divided into five sections that can be built independently of each other, so I was able to give each kid a section to work on independently. (Anyone who has built any building block sets before knows that it's often hard for more than one person to really build at the same time usually.) There were a couple of places where the pieces were harder to attach for the littler girls, but considering the age rating, that seems completely expected, and it makes it more of a family project anyway.
There was good use of some rounded blocks mixed in with the squarer ones to give the walls texture, so that the lack of range in the appropriate wall colors (It is Castle Grayskull after all.) didn't feel too bland. There were neat features to build (like a prison cell and a cannon on top of a tower) and lots of little details (plenty of weapons on racks and a very toothy drawbridge). The figures are colorful and detailed. The quality has been solid. Bricks stick together as they should and the build is solid. Things don't fall apart when you pick them up. You can safely carry it from one room to another without worrying about losing bits.
We've had the set for a couple of weeks now and still are not completely done building it. (I'd guess we're about halfway.) The kids keep going back to it, not getting bored with it as they sometimes do once the newness of a thing wears off. They keep excitedly showing me the next neat thing they discover as they put it all together and make up stories to go along with the figures. They've enjoyed it immensely and I'm glad we chose it.

Highly Detailed
on July 16, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an impressive building set. There are 4 numbered boxes within the large box that include numbered bags. The instructions manual is about half an inch thick, but detailed and pleasantly colorful. The build itself takes a long time and attention to detail but it is well worth it. Hours of fun building it followed by a lot more of imagination at play. I found the little figures to be hard to put together and some pieces didn't fit quite right.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] He-Man was a big part of my childhood so getting a mega blocks Castle Grayskull was a great way to bring it into my childs life! She has had hours of fun putting it together and we both bond over the building. If you are or were a He-Man fan this a must if for anything how amazing it looks! The details are beautiful and even the box is a work of art!
