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!

The motorcycle works very well. The HD Rumble feature really does add something to the game. Starting up the motorcycle and revving the engine really does feel a bit like doing it in real life. If you’re familiar with the ‘numbing’-like vibration on your hands on a real motorbike, that is replicated faithfully here.
The Switch is very responsive and satisfying while driving the motorcycle. You’ll have fun.
Don’t forget about the Discover mode, though. Going into it for the motorcycle deepens your appreciation for the technology at work — and just a fun mode on its own. You’ll even learn tricks about driving the motorcycle. And it’s all presented in an enjoyable, texting-like conversation interface that will ask you things periodically.
I haven’t built all of the kits, but my review is meant to be about “the thing itself” — what the Labo means and how effective it is. We’re going to this local surplus store today, and we’ve been coming up with ideas for things to build with the Toy-Con Garage. This is a mode where you can dream up anything you want and build it. I’m thinking that we may build some space exploration toys, and the surplus store will give us the cardboard and accessories we need to do that 👍
Nintendo could go anywhere with the Labo. They could endlessly build novel kits and have them all be fun.
5/5 — This is a very cool new way to play, especially if you have kids. Highly recommended.
Long story but - my son had a birthday in January and he got 70.00 - he then saw a commercial for this and saved his money - do you know how hard it was for an 8 year old to do that. I was so worried it would not be worth the wait. We had the day it debuted on the calendar and counted down. His anticipation was so fun to watch. Then we ordered it and he asked every day is it here - finally the knock came. The fed ex man showed us that the package was damaged and asked if we wanted it returned. My eight year old son was so excited and didn’t want me to. I just couldn’t deny him he had waited long enough. Thought I would replace it if it was broken. The components were okay! Luckily. So he got to building. I only had to help with the bike. He did it all on his own and I am relieved to say it was worth his money and the wait. He adores it. Everything worked and was so fun! I would recommend packaging it better because that was almost a total Heartbreak!
