Correcting Mistaken Reviews-- One of Best Ever!
Reviewed in the United States on 31 May 2013Verified Purchase
If you search Amazon under "Molecular Visions Kit" you'll find (any given time) up to three or four of the wonderful Darling Model kits. These kits have been trashed as coming in the "wrong" container in some reviews (pictures have now been fixed, which confused the "triple" kit (organometallic / organic / inorganic) which DOES come in the green plastic box with single bag kits previously.
But who cares? The point of Darling isn't just the outstanding snaps, bonds and exclusive atom shells, but the awesome and unique BOOKLETS that come with these sets, that step you through not just assembly but the chemistry, the pi's, the bonds, and MUCH more!! Unlike ANY other set (including Prentice), Darling's books MAKE these series. Stephen simply has spared no effort to EDUCATE us on what we're assembling, in painstaking detail.
Which brings me to a BIG WARNING: You CAN get these kits for 10% of the price as "used"-- I got this one for $2 with an Amazon third party, and have also bought many others here for my classes (molecular biology tutorial creator). BUT:
1. DO NOT buy from a seller that states "parts may be missing." If the "part" is the booklet, you've missed out on 90% of the value of the set. In fact, I put these booklets' value at about $20 by themselves!!
2. If a seller says "like new unopened" you're usually ok. If they say "like new, just opened to check" -- EMAIL them on Amazon's system and ASK SPECIFICALLY if the booklet is there!
So, here are the kits available here at this writing, each with their own booklet:
Molecular Visions: The Flexible Molecular Model Kit
Molecular Visions Organic Model Kit with Molecular Modeling Handbook
Molecular Visions Organic Model Kit #3 [With Model PiecesWith Instruction Booklet ]
Check out all three to see accurate pictures of packaging, which Amazon has now corrected, if that's important to you.
Five stars on all of them, with an extra star for Stephen's well thought out booklets that teach FAR MORE than how the pieces go together, including types of bonds, aromatics, planars, his trademarked atom visions shells, acyclic molecules, Newman projections, software oriented Fisher projections, isomers, and MUCH MUCH more!
NOTE: If you mistakenly get a kit without the guide/booklet, they are available on the manufacturer's website as free pdf downloads-- darlingmodels dot com-- but if your kit(s) are missing parts, you'll have to buy them!! Note also that Amazon's direct AND third party prices are all lower than the manufacturer direct! The booklets ARE different for each set.
Library Picks reviews only for the benefit of Amazon shoppers and has nothing to do with Amazon, the authors, manufacturers or publishers of the items we review. We always buy the items we review for the sake of objectivity, and although we search for gems, are not shy about trashing an item if it's a waste of time or money for Amazon shoppers. If the reviewer identifies herself, her job or her field, it is only as a point of reference to help you gauge the background and any biases.

The balls and sticks are sometimes hard to link together ...
Reviewed in the United States on 23 December 2014Verified Purchase
The balls and sticks are sometimes hard to link together, but overall they're invaluable for going through organic chemistry. I am jelly of the wooden models. If I were to do it again I would go for the wooden set.

False Advertising
Reviewed in the United States on 7 February 2011Verified Purchase
Be careful buying this product! What is pictured is NOT what you get. I received a cardboard box and a ziploc bag full of loose pieces, but it definitely does not look like I have as many pieces as in the picture (especially the carbon bonds). If I'm lucky, I'd say have maybe 1/3 as many pieces. It's also quite disappointing to find that I get a piece of cardboard in lieu of that green plastic case. If you want to buy this kit, find it somewhere else because it seems like it would be a great kit if all the pieces were actually there. As it is, I'm lucky if I can form just one isomer of octane.
