SCS DirectBuilding Block Friends Pastel Bricks- 1000 Pcs Bulk Set-10 Colors with 27 Roof Pieces - Compatible with& Tight Fit with All Major Brands- Great for Activity Table & School Project Kids Gift

My daughter is a huge Lego fan. It’s the type of toy that you really can’t have too much of. When we have some free time together my daughter and I will often build huge structures and both have a blast doing it, so I’m always looking for ways to expand our collection. Bricks are pretty expensive, so I was thrilled to find this set. The colors are great and the variety is exactly what we wanted. Here’s what we think of them after playing with them a bit:-Amount: We painstakingly counted them out and here’s what our bag contained broken down by color. This is a generous amount of bricks that will help with all your wonderful creations. 60 roof pieces (20 light pink, 20 purple, 20 white) 109 Light green pieces 133 Dark pink pieces 132 Light pink pieces 131 Purple 132 White 101 Light blue 103 Yellow 102 Tan 1,003 Pieces Total-Fit: There are a lot of mixed reviews about the fit. I’m going to post a few pictures of some Lego, Mega Blocks and these bricks used together. No, it’s not 100% perfect, I would say it’s about 97% perfect if I had to give it a number. For the price and the off brand, I really wasn't expecting perfection. I just want something that works and we can have fun building with. We don’t do Lego competitions or anything, we just enjoy playing with them at home. The difference we found is these bricks “snap” on and off a little more. They require a little extra effort to get them apart. This makes me extremely grateful they didn't include many of the flat pieces, which are already a pain to get apart. They also do have ever so slightly wider seams occasionally. My 10 year old didn't notice at all until I pointed it out.-Assortment: Each color has a mixture of regular height: 2 x 6, 2 x 4, 2 x 3, 2 x 2, 1 x 6, 1 x 4, 1 x 3, 1 x 2, 1 x 1, flat 2 x 10 and a few flat L shaped bricks. I LOVE that there’s not many flat bricks, they are super annoying to pull apart and I have broke my nails many times trying to wedge them apart. Each color in my set has 2 of those I believe and 6 of the flat L’s. The 60 roof pieces are awesome. I love that it came with an even number of each color, so we can build a roof with 60 pieces and have it all a cool matching pattern.-Price: I was lucky enough to grab this as a lightening deal. I worked it out to my price being $0.03 a brick, regular price being $0.039. I looked at a few similar Lego sets and their prices were $0.065, $0.067, $0.075, $0.075 per brick in the 4 sets I compared. Although, those sets do come with some extra specialty pieces (doors, windows, wheels).Realistically, when I buy an “off brand” of something, I am aware that there’s a good chance it’s not going to be as perfect as the original. This is no exception, but it’s very close. For the price I think it’s a wonderful deal. If you want a set with lots of unique pieces or you want every single piece to be 100% perfect (rather than 97%), it might be better to buy the name brand. If you want a large amount of bricks that work well and are good colors, this is your set!

Everything is PERFECT!Works with all of my existing pieces without any problem at all.Highly recommend.

The 1000 piece Big Bag of Bricks was the perfect gift to get my Lego loving girl. While I love the colors of the Lego Friends sets, I hated the sets themselves. I didn't want to get my kid these $10 for 41 piece sets that would build mundane items like "Stephanie's Mailbox" or "Olivia's Desk". The 1000 piece Big Bag of Bricks may not bear the big name branding on them, but they definitely work just as well as them, and are compatible with the big names. We actually ended with a few extra pieces, which was nice, and my kid had a great time building her own little houses out of these bricks. The bricks are brightly colored and have a good tight fit to them. When testing with name brands, the bricks worked well, and the color differences were virtually indistinguishable. A family friend initially balked that we had so many bricks thinking we spent a fortune on sets...she was excited to find out that she could get her kids more bricks for a fraction of the cost - this is a great set to purchase if you want to get a ton of bricks with no master plans for the master builder in your house.

This had a good mix of colours. Many people claim that they want more 2 x bricks, but, my daughter likes the thin ones. So, we were happy with the mix of sizes. They are not uniform in how they fit together, both with "real" Legos and to each other. Some are very tight, and some are too loose. Those that were too loose I just threw away. For the price, I didn't feel badly about it. I don't think I will purchase again; I think I will go back to Lego brand, but, I don't regret purchasing this set.

Bought these for my nieces birthday. She absolutely loved them and works great with legos and other off brands

Pros: great colors, absolutely the best selection. Great shapes, and not as many smalls as most companies. CONS: ill fitting, either hard to put together, super loose and they won't stay together, they "pop" apart, some simply will not attach, as far as compatible with other brands, nope- barely compatible with the other bricks in the bag. My 7 year old daughter summed it up when she tossed her half finished project in the pile and said, I give up, my hands are red. Daddy bagged them up, wrote this review and will be doing a return to sender.... In closing, we have bought numerous other "off brand" bricks, these are not the worst and they would be ok for an adults builder who creates and displays (the colors are great!) certainly not a child who would, and did, get frustrated.

Granted, there are some pieces that don't fit together snuggly, but this package was a great value for the price and exactly what I needed for the team building activity I was planning with some of my direct reports. Everyone knew right away that they weren't legos, but they didn't have any problems fitting pieces together, save for the 1 or 2 that didn't snap into place. But, in a bag of 1000, 1 or 2 is nothing. Great variety of sizes and colors were provided.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I bought these, but I figured we might have some warped blocks based on other reviews. I was nicely surprised to find that these blocks were all very consistent, and fit well with our LEGOs. I bought these to use at my daughter's LEGO Friends birthday party. I want to do some crafts with the blocks, and also let the kids take some home. These are perfect in terms of price. Its a pretty good sized bag. I ended up ordering 2 more bags.
