    Several of the stickers don't come with square holes cut out. So if you use a sticker as is, you can no longer connect anything to it. One of the blue spring pieces broke the day after the birthday party. The dark green base pieces need to be heavier; the whole thing slides around as you turn the gear. Neat idea. Poor execution. Pretty disappointed with this LR item. It was returned.
