Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03: Vehicle Kit - Switch

This kit was packed with content! As usual, there are three sections: Make, Play, and Discover. There are also three vehicle kits to make: the car, submarine, and plane. There are also two "keys" and a spray can you can build. The directions to building the kids are very simple and easy to follow. The instructions also include cute little quips, adding some character and humor to the whole process. You can move the pieces around on the screen, allowing you to look closely at the models, which are also very true to form. The engineering behind the toy-cons are very ingenious--the pieces fit together perfectly and there are many steps to making them more sturdy. This kit includes more games than the previous two kits. The adventure mode is jam packed with content but there are other modes like racing, fighting, and decorating. You can also play with two people in certain modes. In Discover, you can learn how all of the parts work and there are moments when you can see from the point of view of the infrared camera. There are also some very basic engineering and physics concepts discussed, perfect for piquing a child's interest in STEM. Alongside the garage, where you can customize the creations to do different things, there is also a new mode that allows you to reprogram the controls for the games so you can play it differently. Overall I'd recommend this for anyone who really likes building things. It's a great activity either with kids or to do alone.

For our son who just turned 11 and has grown tired of Legos, this was a perfect purchase. It took him hours to build all the sets, which he did over the course of probably 1.5 weeks. He was super proud to be able to do it all by himself. He was able to build one part, play with it, then build other parts, etc. The instructions were very well presented, and the engineering is impressive. The only piece that seems to come apart is the lid which attaches to the steering wheel. The exploring game that comes with the cardboard itself is a little slow paced, but gives him plenty of achievement-based rewards to keep him going. It's pretty awesome to see the vehicle transform from plane to car to sub in any order with just a swap of a joy con. The Labo garage is also a great addition where the demo games and activities are amazing, and give you plenty of room to program your own. Now we just need to figure out where to store all the cardboard sets when he's not playing them.

Highly recommend! My 7yo son spent hours putting each cardboard item together. I’ve never seen him so focused and motivated to build and put something together, more focused and determined than when he builds with his LEGOs. The instructions are visual, step-by-step, and very easy to follow on the Switch or TV (if you dock the Switch). After each item, he would test it out by inserting the Switch or controller(s) into the dedicated slots and play, which motivates him to move onto the next item in the set. He enjoys playing with it alone and with his cousins when they come over. Great buy. Highly recommend. And I still can’t believe it’s ALL cardboard. Note: it’s all cardboard snap outs(!!). Box comes with something around 30ish snap out sheets. Does get messy with the tiny, small pieces of cardboard left.

Mine was meant to be a gift but it came with multiple stickers and an old shipping label with someone else's address on it! The box was also quite banged up, it had clearly been opened up which is annoying! We made sure all the pieces were actually inside the box. The product inside is great. Tons of fun for my boys! Maybe just bad luck but beware you may be buying a retuned item.

My 11 year old son got this for getting all As ans Bs in school this year. The best thing I like about this set is all the time it took my son to put it together. He did it by himself and it took him awhile, which is great because he was doing something other than playing video games or complaining about how bored he is because he isn't playing video games. He really enjoyed putting it together and gave him some real confidence and pride. He loves playing it now that it is together. Even if his interest doesn't last long it was worth every penny. I love seeing him build things and follow instructions and love seeing the pride and confidence he gains once he has accomplished something. I think it's kind of fun to play as well.

Great game/build. It took my son all day to build it which was part of the fun. Instructions were very thorough. Game is cute and engaging. Only minus is, if you want to have multiple profiles play the game, you have to run through all the building instructions despite the items already being built.

This is an amazing engineering toy. My daughter (8), built it mostly on her own by following the instructions on the switch. It took her about a week of 1 hour sessions. I did sit with her on occasion and helped her pop out the cardboard pieces and it was fun working on it together. I think she learnt about how she might be able to make some neat structures using the techniques she learnt building this toy. The games are fun too. My younger kid didn't have the patience to build it, but she loves driving around in the game. Every aspect of this build is amazingly engineered, even the mechanisms used by each of the controllers is mind blowing. We liked it so much that we bought the robo and vr labo kits. If you are on the fence, buy it, you will not regret it. ( I bought it for twenty five dollars). My daughter gives it 2 thumbs up!

I bought the Nintendo Labo as a Christmas gift for my children and when I opened it I found a cardboard repeated and another missing. We could not finish assembling the car controls. You can not even imagine the frustration of my children and my anger with this product. We finished our Christmas with a box full of useless cards, since you need them all to complete the assembling, and video game that can not be use since they need the assembled car controls to use them. all this cost me $100, including what I spended for the shipment of this trash to my country, and now Amazon wants me to spend more money to return it to the USA to request a refund. Thank you Nintendo for ruining the Christmas gift of my children, all because of your poor quality control and for your zero assistance to the customer.
