There is just something magical about construction equipment. My kids could watch big “diggers” scooping up earth and moving rocks around for hours! I have to admit, I find them fascinating too! And when we get to build and play with toy-size construction equipment it is nothing short of an amazingly fun family event!
My family received the Mega Bloks “Blok Squad” Construction Site to review. Here is a description from the Mega Blok website:
All missions are possible with the two construction vehicles of the Blok Squad Construction Unit Mission! Build the Construction 4×4 Truck and travel easily across off-road or paved streets with its large 4×4 wheels. Drive down to a construction zone with your Blok Squad Construction Worker and set up the 4×4 with its hazard lights blinking to warn drivers to slow down! Construct the multi-use Front Loader! With your Blok Squad Construction Worker at the wheel, use the Front Loader’s huge shovel to lift massive rocks and clear out any area with ease!
Team up both Construction vehicles to square-off a construction zone and start digging your quarry!
Ideal for children ages 5 and up!
Features:
- Buildable Construction Vehicle Mission combo of Construction 4×4 Truck and Front Loader with 218 pieces
- Includes 2 Blok Squad Construction Workers
- Collect them all and combine Blok Squad vehicles to build heavy-duty machines to complete any Construction mission!
This set was my family’s introduction to Mega Bloks or the like! At first we were a little overwhelmed at the 200+ tiny pieces that lay before us. But once we got into it, it was so fun! My 5 year old daughter loved making up her own machines-she would tell us exactly how each part of her vehicular creation worked and what it was used for on her pretend construction site.
Assembling the Construction 4X4 Truck and Front Loader was easier than I thought it would be when we followed the step-by-step instruction booklet.
We had a great time! You could see the wheels turning in my kid’s eyes as they dreamed up and put together new combinations. Think of all the fine motor skills they are developing while they are having fun! We will definitely be purchasing the rest of the sets. They are hours upon hours of entertainment and educational too, at a really good price!
My little girl even got out her crayons and made a backdrop for the trucks to drive around on! The sweet little thing wanted me to use it in my review.

Disclosure: I received a Mega Blok Squad Construction Mission set to facilitate my review. All opinions are honest and my own.
My son would LOVE that set! But we are still in the “big blocks” stage at my house – we’re not ready for the little pieces just yet.
