We acquired this book at Christmas, it has taken me a while to write about it as you can only build one model at a time, and each time we have built one, my children have been pretty reluctant to dismantle our creation. This is Lego, but with a twist. As the models come with gears and rubber bands, you can actually make things that work, and do something more interesting than the norm. The first thing we built was the car that features on the front of the book. The book promised that it would travel over 50 feet "on a good run", and once built we were delighted to find out that once we wound up our creation it did indeed work as billed and lived up to its "Supercharged Speedster" name, and travelled at quite an impressive speed. There was something very satisfying about using all the gears and bands to make a working toy. We have found that the instructions are quite easy to follow - we have tended to build these models together, but I am guessing that an 8 or 9 year old would manage to build the models by themselves. The drawings are not quite of the same quality as actual Lego instructions, in some cases it is a little tricky to work out which particular axle or connector you need, however a handy contents page at the start of the book means you can check that you are using a piece of the right length. There is also a trouble shooting page at the end of the book with handy tips for each model, you might, for example, have to adjust a band on a gear slightly or make sure all the bricks are pushed firmly together. So far everything we have made has worked brilliantly well - the kids particularly enjoyed playing with the "Squeezeclaw Grabber" which is a very extendable small object picker- upper, but all the toys really are designed to appeal. The Annoy-O-Matic, a kind of old fashioned football rattle fully lived up to its name, though the "Beaker Blender" - a machine to stir drinks, did result in some rather sticky lego! Still as this is lego, all the pieces are sturdy and washable and you get the feeling when building these models that this is what lego was designed to do; this book is just great, it is lego but not as we know it, perhaps Lego as it ought to be! The books itself is ring bound, with thick, wipeable pages and is very robust indeed, and the lego is all easily stored in the box on its front cover. The text and pictures are bright and engaging - you do really feel that it has been designed with children in mind. I think that the construction of these models is challenging, but in a good way - some of these builds are not always straightforward, but the steps are well broken down and, ultimately, the end results are so impressive that it is worth it. I'm pretty sure that this book is aimed at boys as things like the "Battle Top Spinner" - which launches spinning lego do seem boy territory, but girls do feature in the photos of kids that accompany this book and any child or adult who has an interest in how things work would enjoy making these models in my opinion. My daughter has really enjoyed playing with this with me. I do have one slight criticism, and that is that being an American book instructions such as getting a "bunch of gears" and "we ain't kiddin" can grate a little, it would have been nice if this were adapted for the UK market, but this minor point doesn't detract from the enjoyment to be had from this book. I think that this would make a fantastic and original present, and that it is actually really good value for all the fun that is to be had with it. As I have indicated all the models are fun and they all seem to work well. I thoroughly recommend this book, it certainly lives up to its title and is a must-have for any lego fan, young or old! (may appear elsewhere in my name) Review: Still being used - I rarely write reviews but I had great fun with my son with this book/lego set. It seems really rare to find a product which combines lego ideas, fun/clear instructions, scope for creativity as well as model making and the actual LEGO ITSELF! From 'wind up car' through 'battle spinner' to 'crazy art maker' all is clearly pictured/explained and works properly in the end. The tips and hints help to make your lego building skills even better. Sure, the elastic bands will get broken - my fault, mostly wanting things to go faster/stronger/longer ;-) However, you can replace these fairly easily. Even though the parts have now been subsumed into the other lego box my son occasionally goes back and somehow manages to find the bits or makes his own version by adding other lego. Excellent - more products like this please KLUTZ! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

If they have experience with Legos and following the directions, 6. If they need assistance with Legos I would wait till they're 7. Can probably entertain them through 8. **Q: Where can you get replacement rubber bands? Or can you just use similar sized ones?** A: I get them a bunch at a time from office depot, not sure of the size I match them as close as possible. **Q: Does the klutz lego crazy action contraptions craft kit really contain: 6 separate items including parts and instructions ?** A: It contains an assortment of parts that will make 6 working contraptions. You can't make all 6 at the same time as some pieces are used in several items. The book is the instruction manual. My 6 year old got the hang of it and made all 6. **Q: Why is advertised that it's a set of 16 projects (covers, pages #4, 6, 46) when there are only 11? (14 max, when counting the primitive Bored Games)** A: Maybe for the child and you to create additional projects.

It seems really rare to find a product which combines lego ideas, fun/clear instructions, scope for creativity as well as model making and the actual LEGO ITSELF!

Excellent - more products like this please KLUTZ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crazy ? - I now see why. *by J***F on 2 December 2010* This is the second set I have bought. The first had essential odd size rubber bands missing, and this one had some other components missing, but some extra bits too. We returned the first for a replacement, but have decided to keep the second as it did contain the specific bits my son was after. When you have a complete set, it is a great product with some fun models to build and useful bits and pieces to combine with others from your Lego collection. Definitely worth the reduced price I paid. Please note the Lego company does not have information on this product, and were not able to replace the missing rubber bands. They may be more helpful with more standard parts (they usually are), so if like me you find some missing, then returning the set for a replacement is your best option. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klutz LEGO Crazy Action Contraptions Craft Kit - LEGO Chain Reactions (Klutz Science/STEM Activity Kit), 9" Length x 1.06" Width x 10" Height --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/48694277-lego-crazy-action-contraptions-book-kit-klutz](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/48694277-lego-crazy-action-contraptions-book-kit-klutz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
