ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder Review – Intro 〓 :
ZOOB is comparatively new in the toy market but it adds a different and refreshing alternative to other more familiar brick building brands like LEGO or Mega Block. Instead of using bricks and blocks as the building pieces, this ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder uses ball and socket joint configuration. In 2015, ZOOB introduced a variety of ZOOB Galax-Z space sets and this Lunar Pathfinder is a new set for 2016 for expanding this range for more building possibilities.
This is a fairly small set but the instructions show various builds that you can make with it. Altogether this is a 25 piece kit that comes with 16 ZOOB Pieces, Helio the ZOOBonaut and 8 ZOOB Galax-Z accessories.
Who Would Buy This:
ZOOB recommend the Lunar Pathfinder for kids aged between 6 – 15 years, though we agree that 6 years old is a good age to get started with ZOOB sets but older teenagers might find the sets a little too youngish for them. If you have kids from 6 – 12 who enjoy constructing building sets like LEGO they are likely to be interested in ZOOB. If they already have ZOOB sets they will certainly be happy to add this one to their collection.
Toys with space themes seem to be universally popular with young children especially boys so this would make a great gift.
Things We Like About ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder:
The advantage of ZOOB over their competitors is their use of ball and socket joints which increases the range of movements and articulation making for some more interesting and creative building ideas.
This is a nice addition to their existing range of Galax-Z building sets and there a number of different.
Things We Did Not Like About ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder:
It might take a while to get to grips with the instructions and the unique method of building with ZOOB but once you get an understanding of how they piece together it becomes pretty intuitive.
Is ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder Worth The Money?
This is a fairly basic set for the price and you can pick up the much bigger ZOOB Galax-Z Astrotech Rover set for a comparatively cheaper price, so we would suggest if this is for a kid who doesn’t have any ZOOB sets, then it will provide more value for money.
Where To Buy ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder?
All the ZOOB sets including this one are available from the larger online retailers. Amazon or eBay is a good place to start as you can read real user reviews and more pros and cons of this particular toy and also its competitive prices.
Final Thoughts For ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder:
If your kids like building block toys they will enjoy this ZOOB Galax-Z Lunar Pathfinder and it provides plenty of creative play. This set is compatible with all other ZOOB sets so if they already are acquainted with ZOOB they will love this one. The price is a little hefty for such a basic set and we would suggest maybe checking out some of the more value packed sets they offer and seeing if this one goes down in price once it has been on sale for a while.
