Our Editorial Review
Product Description The perfect starting point for LEGO creations! This grey baseplate measures 15" x 15", so it's a great place to start building castles, skyscrapers, or what ever your imagination comes up with.
Editorial Review This light gray 15-by-15-inch LEGO base plate makes a great foundation for all kinds of fascinating LEGO creations. LEGO pieces snap easily onto the textured surface of this flexible plastic board, which is large and sturdy enough to support even your more elaborate scenes: space stations, launch sites, castles, forts, and cities--whatever you can imagine. The base plate holds your LEGO creations together and makes them easy to move around and display. (LEGO pieces are sold separately.) --Elisabeth Fredrickson

Makes Lego creativity possible, but not for shag carpet and don't pay too much! Posted 18 January 2008
Without a baseplate, the world of Lego creativity is rather limited. Building with Legos sans baseplate is like building a house without pouring a foundation.
Sadly, these baseplates are thin and flexible, so you won't likely break it if you drop it, but you also aren't likely to get too far if you try to build that skyscraper on a shag carpet. I bought one of these for each of my boys and we'll either use them on the dining room table or use a hard surface over the carpet, or glue the baseplate to a thin piece of plywood.
Finally, you can get these at toy stores for about ten dollars, but for some reason I've seen these priced at two or three times that from various on line businesses. Shop around because it isn't necessary to pay much over ten bucks for these things.
A bit flimsy Posted 16 January 2008
The big size is great. I would have expected this Lego plate to be more sturdy. When you pick it up, it sags, so it isn't good to carry it when you have something on top. It is just fine set on a table or hard flat surface though.
My son wishes it was more durable, but loves it anyway!! Posted 14 January 2008
When we first received the product it was in a wrap and very flexible. Which I thought it would be a little more solid. My son collects legos and enjoys the platform but does wish that it was more sturdy as it is hard to travel with it from one room to the next without it bending almost in half.
Every kid needs at least one! Posted 14 August 2006
We ordered several and glued them to a plywood table. My two kids (boy, 9; girl,7)have built an entire lego city on it. There is no limit to the creativity. I HIGHLY recommend.
glue it to a piece of wood Posted 14 January 2005
If you're worried about it flexing glue it to a piece of wood. If you get the right thickness of wood you can match the height of the board to the height of a regular brick (ie: 3 flats high). I've got two of them expoxyed to the center of a 2' x 4' piece of MDF (~ $3 + epoxy) and it works great on the carpet. There's extra room around the plates for building or running cars on, etc.
