Editorial Review
Adults who remember hours of fun building with the classic interlocking building logs construction set and want to introduce it to their own children may be dismayed to find that many such toys are now made of plastic. Never fear, T-N-T International can't quite let go of the past either. They have made this 114-piece Frontier Building set entirely out of quality hardwood. Beautifully cut and finished, it includes all the traditional pieces--long logs, short filler logs, and roof slats. Helpfully, T-N-T has made this set to be compatible with other log sets. --Lisa Whipple

 Fun for everyone. December 21, 2008
J. McKeown (New Hampshire)
These logs bring back memories of my childhood. We played with them for hours and built all sorts of things. Now my grandchildren are having great fun creating some interesting looking structures. They will last a long time being so sturdy. I will probably buy more to give them even or options.

This set combined with other sets, provides my son with hours of creative fun. I have found that to be able to build a variety of structures, it takes a total of about 350 pieces. So this was an addition to 2 other different sets already purchased.
 Indistinguishable from Lincoln Logs...except the price March 10, 2008
G. Sanchez (Atlanta, GA)
I read these reviews and saw the one about how these were poorly made and loose-fitting. Not so. We have built towers and castles and forts and thoroughly enjoyed them. If you are the sort who likes to build something out of these logs and then knock it down with a well placed bean bag, ping pong ball gun, or Nerf weapon, you'll have a blast with this. I found another set at TJ Maxx and snapped it up, too. Now we can build something four feet high! It's such a better deal than Lincoln Logs. The key to enjoying this toy is having enough PIECES to build WHATEVER YOU WANT. Frontier Logs deliver.

I didn't have any small people to buy these for this Christmas, but a couple will be of age next year and I will be very happy to help unleash their creativity then.
The ones I grew up with had flat slats for roofs instead of the ones that are being sold nowadays. A pity because they were so, so, so useful. They could be made into fences, pathways, ramps and anything else that came to mind. Our Lincoln logs were used with Playmobil figures, Star Wars figures, hotweels cars, even Barbie had a real log cabin!
Thats it. I'm buying some for me!
A classic American toy, made in China January 1, 2008

I would have loved to have given this toy 5 stars across the board, but wouldn't you think a classic American toy such as Frontier Logs made by Poof Slinky (in reality these are Lincoln Logs) would be made in America? Unfortunately, no, they are made in China.
That is my only complaint with this wonderful toy. My oldest child had a large set of lincoln logs that he loved when he was younger. I decided this Christmas to give a couple of sets to my six year old. It was a big hit, and lately she will play for hours with these.
What sets Lincoln Logs (and K'nex, Play-doh, Tinkertoys, and Magnetix) apart from other mass marketed toys is that these help to develop your childs imagination. I found my daughter configuring her Lincoln Logs like a fine architect into various houses, schools, barns, and fences. As it states on the canister, "Endless Building Possibilities".
Lincoln Logs are a toy that every child should have. I'm glad to see they've gone back to real wood, I believe it deepens the experience to be building with real wood rather than plastic. For a while there in the early 90's Lincoln Logs were surprisingly being made of plastic.
I would recommend starting off with a couple of sets as you may find one set limits the building configurations.
