is this appropriate for a 12 year old?

I would say yes. If he/she is tech savvy, it might seem a bit primitive, but it would definitely get the job done.

Depends on the size of the 12 year old. If it's a boy with man sized hands, a full-size tool set might be better. However for every other 12 year old, I would say definitely yes!

I purchased this product for my 5 year old grandson and I found it very appropriate. My 12 year old grandson loved his as well.

No. It is relatively easy to pull back the bolt. A 12 year old should easily be able to.

Yes it would be appropriate in my opinion. Our grandson will be 5 and we bought this for him last year and he still spends hours playing with it. It is a great buy and very well made.

Yes, I believe so. The detail is extensive and being 16"x20" I think your 12 year would become very discouraged quickly.

Yes. It is nice, but really for younger children. An 11 year-old could handle something closer to the real thing.

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

I believe this set would be too small for a 12yr old . An adult size set would be more beneficial for a 12yr ols .

It was great for my 12 year old son but I could use it too in a pinch. It's rather light for an adult in my opinion but if you're still learning it would suffice.

Yes it is very appropriate. Matter of fact appropriate for all ages. I use it myself to stay tuned up for my softball league.

Yes, my brother, who is 12, is the one who bought it and uses it. But he is big for his age.

I believe it is a good size for an average sized 12 year old. The seat can be adjusted up/down and forward and back. However, I do look for my 11 year old son to grow out of it in a few years. For the price, it is worth the time that he can enjoy it.

Yes, i purchased this for my 12 yr old girl & she loves it. Its the perfect sz & my 11 yr old son uses it all the time.

My 11 year old, who is short for her age, rides the bike to school. So, yes your 12 year old should be able to ride it with ease.

This is indeed remote controlled. Whether or not it is appropriate for a 12 year old depends entirely on the 12 year old. If they have any experience with a remote controlled helicopter before, then this would be a fine gift for them. If they have no such experience but enjoy the challenge of mastering a new skill and have a great deal of patience then this may also be a good gift. If they have no RC experience and don't handle crashes well, I would suggest a coaxial 3-channel helicopter instead. They are much easier to fly, though this will be more rewarding if and when it is mastered.

Maybe it is a bit kiddie for a 12 year old though but....who knows it is Lego! Extra Lego bits are likely/always appreciated but Lego set that build something specific is likely more appropriate. Most of the DC comic line is very good Lego City and Star Wars are also sought after. It all depends on the kids interest.
