Building Information

The estimated time for build is between 40 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Age will vary time and skill of the builder. If pieces are missing from the set, Mega Bloks has a free replacement policy. Simply go online to their site and go to their replacement parts page. The Phantom is a MODERATE build, recommended for ages 8+. Children under the minimum age are in danger of choking on small pieces, and will have extreme trouble with building. The set has 906 pieces, and so far the instruction manual has not yet been released on the internet for public view.
