YES! This thing is HUGE! Check out my 3 year old holding this thing:

If you can find one it would be a BIG HIT if your lil' brother-in-law likes to
make his own creations, BUT if he is one of the types that just likes to build
the sets (or is younger and not really up on the art of MOCing) then the sets
may be a better bet.

No idea book hust parts. Take a look at the story done on BZP:

Note - all tubs seem to be a slightly different selection, but in the 6 of these
tubs I picked up the parts are basically along these lines shown on BZP.
The one thing it is REALLY lacking is Technic axle rods or whatever it is you
call them:

So be a good big brother-in-law and throw him a bunch of those axles! If you do
not have any, they are cheap over on BL.
