Amazing K'NEX set!
By Joshua D. Opatowsky
This K'NEX set, which is the very largest in existence, is very well-constructed. I have almost completed the build and have enjoyed putting it together. This is a great kit for any K'NEX or building toy enthusiast who has some cash to burn!

EDIT: I finished the build and unfortunately the clock only chimes three minutes after the hour, which is rather frustrating after spending so much money and time on this. I contacted K'NEX, but they haven't responded as of yet.

Imperfect but enjoyable build
By Ethan Straffin
Interesting choice for the largest K'Nex set in existence as of this year! As entertaining and educational family builds go, I'm still hoping for a truly legendary ball machine, and this model does have a few flaws. First, the instructions need some sorting out: the written directions say to mount the clock movement with the battery compartment at the bottom, but all of the images show it at the top. (The written instructions turn out to be the correct ones, and it's important to get it right so that the chimes will sound at the correct time.) Second, it would have been nice if the moving K'Nex parts could have included some of the functional clock parts themselves, as opposed to the purely decorative (and somewhat jerky) pendulum motion. Obviously there's no way to design an accurate timekeeper with only K'Nex parts, but a little extra R&D could have at least allowed the use of some attractive K'Nex clock hands, and that doesn't seem like too much to ask from a model that originally retailed for a whopping $999. (Based on the pricing of other K'Nex models, neither the design costs nor the number of parts included really justify that price tag, so it's good that Amazon now sells it for half of that.) Still, despite these issues, the clock does have ongoing practicality and a fair amount of elegance going for it, and K'Nex fans should be able to find a place of honor for it in their homes.
