The kit comes with five toy-cons you can build: two RC cars, a fishing rod, a house, a motorbike (handle), and a piano. Each one has small parts to go with it as well, like strings, rubber bands, and marker stickers. It also comes with the cartridge for the game.
Most people are apprehensive about Nintendo’s use of cardboard but I think it’s actually better than making plastic add-ons. For one, it is easier and cheaper to replace. More importantly, it is better for the environment and it can be disposed of when children outgrow it, rather than sitting around collecting dust. The cardboard is actually quite sturdy and high quality. As long as it is not outright mishandled, I think it will do a good job holding up. Additionally, I love the ability to customize your toy-con to suit your tastes and make it unique to you.
Making the cardboard structures is incredibly fun--reminiscent of putting Lego together. For anyone worried about the strength of the toy-con, there are actually a lot of reinforcing pieces that help make certain otherwise flimsier parts more sturdy. Cute, witty comments pop up while you make your toy-cons, guiding you through the process while occasionally cracking jokes, making it feel very human.
The Discover section is a fantastic place to learn more about the engineering behind the toy-cons. Three characters converse and guide you through the science behind the genius of Labo. You can view cutaways of the toy-con and test the IR camera in a particular mode. There are also sections on easily repairing broken toy-con, troubleshooting, and creative ways to customize. There is even basic physics learning involved with certain joy-con--no doubt a good way to get children into physics.
Toy-con garage is the best part about the kit. It works through very simple input-output coding. You put in an input (pressing a button for example), select an output from a list, and connect the two to make the switch create the output. I love that this gives kids the ability to make their own toys, which will no doubt spark a love for engineering and design within the next generation.
There are a ton of different things to explore and secrets to find within the game. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves to use their hands and be creative!

I have to be honest I was worried about it being Cardboard. Especially since My Boys [ages 9 & 7-1/2 when purchased] can be a handful at times and the price at the time. Well, mostly the Little Man or them with each other. With that said. I have no regrets about my purchase. Totally Looking forward to purchasing the other kits for Christmas 2019 if I can afford them. Not that they cost a lot of anything. Just finances are always very tight or not there. I totally see these kits being TOTALLY worth every penny and then some. The price is dropped as of right now and I paid just a little under the retail price :(
But I wanted to get my boys something nice that they both can use. It did come with the game and in the past, with My now Adult College son some of his games would cost around $50 +. So I figured it was a good deal since they get a few games and also a 3D hands-on Creative experience.
Ok, so the box the kit comes in is very sturdy. (I know cause my Boys haven't torn it up yet....hehehe) They keep the other peices very nicely until they are ready to use them.
I suggested to the Boys not to do them all at once so that they can enjoy them for a while. And they have done just that. They 1st made the bike looking one. They played that one alot and then they just recently [about 1-1/2 weeks ago] made the Fishing one. I didn't get to try out the Motorcycle one but I did get to play the fishing one. And I Freaking LOVE it! My Little Guy keeps wanting to do a fishing tournament with the 3 of us. But I just want to Fish for fun. hehehe We will have a tournament maybe this weekend. :0) I do catch the Boys Playing the just the cardboard part of the Fishing Pole as well with not even the game hooked up to it. They are practicing I guess. Now there is a part of the Fishing Pole that they have taken out and don't even use. They say it is just for show and they think it is easier to use without it. It is this round cylinder part that has the rubber band with it that goes in the box thingy. [sorry I don't' know the parts' names] But if you find an issue with it the game still works without it. And they have found it fun to spin and twist it up and let it spin separate by its self when waiting for their turn to play. Which I think helps a little so little hands are kept busy and not touching the screen every chance they get while the other Brother is taking his turn.
Now even if My Boys have not used all of them up yet nor more of them "does not" mean it is not an amzing kit nor that they don't like them. They just have very busy full pack schedules as well as other things and games to entertain their minds with. There is only so much time in a day as well as they want the New fun to last as well and well really enjoy what they have already in use. Like just a couple other Switch games and tablets and also I asked them not to do them all at once. Enjoy one at a time. And then when they want or get bored with that one then move on to the next. So 5 months now and they have only felt the need to use 2 of them. Now little man Loves pianos. So this will totally be the next one they will build after they are bored with the Fishing or maybe a little sooner. :0)
Besides the part on the fishing build the Boys have removed; there was something on the motorcycle one they didn't know what it was for a little hole. But I asked the Boys and they said they really didn't need to know and it worked perfectly fine. Which they got alot of use out of and still have and can go back and use it again later if they want to play it.
-Totally worth every Penny [no matter if you pay full price or not]
- Hours and Hours and Hours of Enjoyment [even with the 2 Boys and only using 2 of the builds so far]
- Great Quality [100% Fact with My very active Boys]
*** Suggestion is to have a place to put the builds after they are made so that they can reuse them later on. I gave them another Amazon shipping box to put everything in and decorate for when they complete each build. So everything is kept together.
I hope this review helps someone else. It is totally worth it <3
