The product worked as it was supposed to. The lubrication helps to not lose the mood. The ridges weren't all that great for my wife.

I think this is one of the nicest in the 'City Seasons' collection. Very sharp outfit; I like the 'straw' bag, the bandana, and the gold hoop earrings. Definately recommend!

I found the Revlon Nail Buffer very helpful in taking care of my fingernails. My hands are in water quite a bit and my fingernails take a lot of abuse. This product is easy to use and makes taking care of my nails less of a chore. I'd recommend it to family and friends without hesitation.

This is a quick, easy, and safe way to check temps especially on children. You don't have to worry about glass breaking and you can feel confident that the reading will be accurate.

I bought this game in hopes to have fun with it although the game looks great and looks fun to play theres so much stuff to do remember and the instruction booklett is like a novel a very confusing one. I dont not reccomend you buy this product until some drastic changes are made nice idea but not yet ready>

This figure looks EXACTLY like Famke Jansen. She does great poses, and is very durable. This is a must have for every X-Men Fan. Jean was, and is, one of the original and most popularof the X-Players, and this is an absolutly, must have, figure.

I have used ZAPZYT face and body wash for almost a week now and am already seeing results. The only place I get breakouts is on the backs of my arms and this wash has almost made it all disappear. Nothing I've used in the past has been this effective. I would guess another week of use and it will all be gone. It also doesn't dry out my skin like a lot of products do. I love it and will be using it from now on. Where was this stuff when I was a teenager?

This is a fun game for children who are just begining to learn the rules of game play. It allows for none competative play and later for competative play. The game goes quickly for those with the wiggles. Best for 3 to 5 age group, and made even more interesting if incorporated with the Toots and Puddle books.

This is so great. My son has loved it since christmas when he first got it. Now at 13 months he STILL loves it. Its great for us because he can see the relatives he dosent get to see much. They will be familiar faces when he sees them again in person. He loves to flip through the pages and slap it against his leg. Iti s totally droolproof too as none of the pictures have gotten ruined yet. This is one of the best toys we own!!

The metal box is nice, but I found that the Jester is made out of a very thin felt like material..... for the money, I was expecting higher quality.

I bought this toy for my 4 year old son for Christmas last year. Although it is alot of fun, extreme caution should be adhered to because of the spinning blades. I am disappointed however, because the blades no longer spin due to some problem.

Great job on all the Harley Barbie's and Ken's They are a joy to look at. And to collect. When will the next Harley Barbie and Ken be coming out?

I bought the Little Tikes discovery sound kitchen for my 9 month old granddaughter. She liked the different shapes and putting them in the right holes in the frig and pushing the green button to retrieve them. BUT, she pinched her cute little fingers several times in the top of the frig door. Secondly, the kitchen is easily pulled over and in opening the frig door she repeatedly pulled the kitchen over on top of her. Needless to say, I returned the toy the next day.

I would recommend this product to my friends, because it's very non-irratating and not very greasy. It didn't work as well as I had hoped though, therefore I'm only giving it three stars. I think they could have made it better.

These are nice markers. The colors are vivid and the caps are fairly easy for a toddler to remove and replace. When we bought these we read the word "washable" and assumed that it meant that they were washable off of most surfaces. They're not. Washable means that they won't stain clothing. The color is supposed to come off when you throw them in the washer. When you read the fine print on the package it explains that they are not washable off of many hard surfaces such as walls. So you still have to be careful that your young artist only draws on paper, not the bedroom wall.

I thought this product worked well, but I wouldn't call it the best deodorant I've ever used. Even though it says it goes on clear I noticed when I took off my shirt the white residuals of deodorant were left behind. As an antiperspirant and deodorant it does the job adequately and the price is very reasonable comparable to other brands.

Our family is in love with this robo-pup. He's one enthusiastic little darling. My neighbors are probably wondering about the new puppy sounds emerging from my no-pets allowed apartment. This little guy is as realistic as a robo-puppy can get. My one year old jumps around with joy the moment I bring out this new addition to our family.

I bought this for my 5yr old daughter last year for Christmas. It was a big hit with grown-ups and kids alike and she still plays with occasionally, the problem I have with him is that he is light activated and whenever a shadow moves over him he talks, it is enough to drive a grown-up crazy. If you buy this for your child, beware-he will drive you crazy.

We've been playing this game for about 18 months now, and it's still as popular as ever with us. We're a family of 5, with the youngest playing since he was six years old - and winning more often than I thought he could! And of course, we've all had our vocabularies expanded without trying, but we haven't let on that this is an educational game. Folks who aren't confident in their vocabulary, don't despair! Two- and three-letter words can win the game as well as much larger words. If you like Perquacky, Scrabble, and that sort, you'll love this much-more-portable word game.

tekno is a cool toy its just like a real toy but somtimes it leans to the side when it gets done walking I reccomend this toy for animal lovers and people who cant have a dog. Its waaaaaay better than poochi and funer too.

Moneywise Kids was the first item my daughter (8 yrs. old) wanted to play with, once her birthday party was over - that should speak for itself!

A friend recommended this hand lotion to me a little over a year ago and I've never experienced such a difference in the texture and overall feel of my hands until I used Gardener's Hand Therapy. Its not just for gardeners either, my hands tend to get chapped and dry during the winter and i work in an office. this non-greasy lotion, makes your hands feel like silk. It makes a great gift too. With little convincing, my friends all use this lotion now.

I enjoyed this shampoo a lot. It kept my hair full and I loved it. My hair felt soft and clean. The only thing I didn't care for was the smell. It didn't smell ""bad"" it just wasn't a scent I cared for. It had a musky man smell to it. Overall, I liked this shampoo and would continue to buy it.

My 5-year old son received this on his birthday and we were pleasantly surprised how easily the parachute works. The strings do not tangle and the parachute does not require alot of "folding." Cool toy!

My two preschoolers have played with this toy for the past two years and always enjoyed it. My 3 and 4 year old have no problem pulling out and putting back in the panels. Both children really enjoy finding the clues and characters in the pictures. It is similar to the I Spy books. It has been a great group activity for the family. They really get competitive about who can find the clues first AND there are 3 double-sided panels filled with plenty of other items and characters for them to find (If you don't limit yourself to just asking them to find the clues, it can be so much more fun!). There are three sets of clues included on each side of the panels...one set of clues is permanently glued on, but the other two sets are on reversible inserts that do tend to get worn down and misplaced. Granted, this toy is not played with every day, but I do feel it has been well worth the money because we are going on our third year and we will still pull it out several times a month and have a great time playing with it. It promotes family time and that is always valuable!
258
With 4 nephews 5 and under, this is the most sought after toy in my house! Forget the dumptrucks and building blocks, they would all rather have the vacuum and "clean house" for me!
387
This game has it good points and bad ones. It is a fun game until the child figures out that keeping an eye on the duck you pick lets him know where the ducks are. Also it quacks so loud and doesn't stop that one or two game is all that I can endure. I wouldn't buy this game for a child over 4 years of age because then they get smart enough to figure it out. But for children under 4 it is really a great game if you can stand the quacking.
287
This was given to my daughter when she was 2 months old, and I filled it with photos of her grandparents, her aunts, uncles, and cousins. She carried it everywhere! Unfortunately, at about 9 months, she dropped it in a store and I never found it, I immediately replaced it and filled it with new pictures. This book taught my daughter to recognize her relatives, who all live fairly far away. Now she points to the pictures and will say "Pop Pop" or "Mom Mom". This is a great gift for babies of any age! The durable handle also holds up under tough teething!
313
This too is something every child should have.Talk about durable you can't break this toy.You can use it to teach colors,it exercises the brain, it goes in the bath.Not to mention it is great when they are teathing because they can chew on it and it washes easily.It's great and inexpensive what more can you ask for.

I used to play this game with a pencil and paper, and it's still a great game. Kids won't realise that they're using strategy and concise logical problem solving, once they have played this a couple of times, and even for todays computer age, this is still very appealing and addictive. With it's ease of set up, and robust design, it will provide hours and hours of inexpensive fun, and every succesive generation seem to love it (I even bought one for myself). Great for younger kids too (with a little help) - and can help demonstrate many basic math puzzles, by making them fun. Oh by the way, the noises are great too !
287
My sister has one of these and I think its adorable. Its best friends with my Eevee beanie and they went to Pokemon the first movie together (with my sister and I). Its pretty durable except the tail seems like two parts that were glued together and they can split apart, but its still the cutest Pikachu toy I've ever seen.
428
My 4yr old son loved this toy. He was constantly playing with it,pretending to be Steve. However,the durability of this toy leaves much to be desired. After only having this toy for about 5 months,he could no longer write on it. The stampers never did fit quite snug enough in the holders and he was constantly losing the stampers because they were forever falling out. If you want a fun,temporary toy,this is one to get. However if you want something that will last awhile,don't waste your money on this. Just go for the basic Handy Dandy notebook with the wipe off pages.

My 3 and 7 year old played with this kit for months. There are lots of tattoos included. Adult coloring makes them look better, but they really didn't care. My 7 year old went around with a tattoo of a light bulb on his forehead for two days! Well worth it.
297
This product is awesome. Children as well as adult children can safely play with product and not damage it at all. If you have a very playful child (or adult) this is the best toy to have.

My 10 year old daughter and I had a great time building and decorating the rocket, then came launch day. The first time we didn't set the stopper correctly and took a vinegar bath. Like true rocket scientists, we reviewed the problem and the second launch reached about 60 feet. This is a great project which teaches principles of chemistry and physics while being great fun. It is not, however, for the quick to give up. Like any work in science, there will be failures, get the hose, clean off and try again! When it heads skyward, it will be worth time time and effort!
304
My 14 month old son loves this toy! He uses one tent for a "reading room", one for the balls, and one for his baby instruments. He can play independently for fairly long periods of time in his personal space. He loves to play catch with the balls. This is worth the money, and very durable. I think he will play with it for a long time.
322
My son received this as a present and loves it! He will sit for quite a while playing by himself - hammering, sawing, and nailing. He has learned how to use a screwdriver and now wants to help Daddy with his projects. This toy is durable, compact, easily mobile and as realistic as I would ever want for a two year old. The drawer and compartments provide sorting fun on top of the fun he has using the tools and "wood". A great toy!
387
I gave this doll to my daughter and she loved it (she loves any kind of Barbie). The clips go missing as most little things do but my daughter loves the dress and the doll has really nice long hair. Overall a good gift for a little girl.

We have had this game for several years and now that my kids are older and should have outgrown the game (Jr. High), they have made it really interesting. Instead of offering guesses like "is your person wearing glasses?", they ask questions like "does your person teach Economics at Harvard?", or "did your person protest the Vietnam War?". Amazingly, we are still usually able to come up with the person's identity, only not as easily as asking the obvious about hair color, bushy eyebrows, etc.
287
A great game that lasts from two minutes to twenty minutes. It tests your logic, creativity, right side, left side, and all four quadrants of spacial orientation. Fun for Adults, a fun learning game for families and kids playing with adults. It has the thought power of chess without the complications. There are three simple rules and then shear enjoyment. The learning is fast and a bit contagious. The Portable edition is a roll-up vinyl cloth "board" perfect for adventure traveling on the beach, on the boat, on the slopes, or just about any where in the great out of doors. Bought ours in 1981 and it is still going places! Have a barrel of fun!
287
Dad played with it for 10 minutes. My one year old - zippo! Don't waste time or money with this toy. A boring dud.
271
This is a great game to bring together all ages. Even our five year old could answer some of the clues quicker than our teenager. We found the adult questions a little hard for the younger kids and would like to see additional kid packs available for this game (like the Disney Trivia Game). We gave this game a rating of 5 because it was so much fun for the whole family. It's now one of our favorites when friends and family stop by and people are always asking to borrow it!
287
My daughter enjoys it in or out of the tub, but it really bothers ME that the toy is marketed as a bath toy and does NOT float.
337
I purchased this game for my mother for Christmas, and she's been drooling over the box! I won't let her open it yet! She's very excited to have her own...one of her friends has a child who has the game, and she can't put it down when she goes to visit! One little thing to mention, Amazon.com states that the game requires 2-AA batteries...the game actually requires 3. Just a word to the wise! Enjoy!
255
I loved this ventriloquist doll. He looks so much like the real Charlie McCarthy. I was so interested in this dummy, I researched about his maker (Edgar Bergen) and I fell in love with him. Trust me, he will provide hours of fun and enjoyment! And best of all, he's Charlie McCarthy!

My 14 mth old boy loves this toy! Not only has he learned in the week that he's had it the name of every shape and their color, but most importantly he plays with it all day long! It's the 1st toy he grabs from his toy box each morning. It is also a FABULOUS pull toy that does not tip over! (That key point alone makes it a great toy!)My son loves to pull it around and watch the lights go on and off and the horn beep beep. He dances to the music and enjoys opening the hatch-back and watching the shapes tumble out! Bravo V-Tech!
399
I got this toy for my daughter and myself, it is loud and the barking is alittle to much for me. plus the dog has trouble walking he keep falling over. but as for a toy like most my daughter got tried of it quickly.
189
I bought this for my 6 year old daughter. She has no clue about money so I thought I'd get this to help teach her. She really likes it. It's educational for her and at the same time fun. The way each piece works (the scanner,microphone) is very appealing to her. My 4 year old daughter also likes it...but is too young to operate it. I agree with the reviews...that the age range on this should start at either 5 or 6. ....
111
I bought this for my 5 year old daughter. The commerical is very deceiving. It looks like so much fun until you try to put it together. My husband has quite a lot of experience putting things together and it took him about 35 minutes just to set the game up. By the time we did that my daughter did not want to play with it anymore! At that moment I suddenly remembered my dad having the exact same problems 25 years ago...and he was an engineer!

The Naboo Starfighter is an elegant addition to the Action Fleet line. This Naboo craft adds a sweeping dimension to a Star Wars display. Tilted on it's display stand, it seems to move through space itself. The coloration is stunning when shown in front of a deep space diorama.

I'm a 28-year-old medical transcriptionist, but in my spare time I sometimes like to color in coloring books as a form of relaxation. I have tried other brands of crayons, but those brands have been subpar. Crayola has always been the best quality.

The head keeps popping out when I roll it. It would be a lot funner if the head didn't keep popping out. Otherwise this set was pretty cool to build and play with. It's my first Technic set.

This was the hit of my son's Christmas. We spent quite a bit of time putting it together, but the directions were easy to follow. Once together the game was played for hours by my 7 year old son as well as several adults in their 30's. It reminded some of the older players of foozeball. All in all it is getting plenty of use.It would be nice to have a scoreboard, but I understand it can be purchased separately. Also I wish the box was large enough to put the toy away fully assembled. The durability rating is solely based on the fact that this is made of legoes and therefore will fall apart if used too roughly. Of course it can be put together again, but may be frustrating to smaller children.

This is a fantastic product, but Leapfrog is charging waaay too much to purchase downloads, especially since you have to enter your own spelling list and buy it back. Also, don't be fooled....you can't necessarily enter your child's name to personalize the product. My daughter's name was not available, so we had to enter a generic "funny" name. This was a huge disappointment for her. Leapfrog's customer service is horrible. I have had to wait as long as 20 minutes on hold to speak to someone. I once called at 6 a.m. and the representative actually fell asleep on the phone! Worse yet, additional cartridges won't be available until the end of January. The turbo twists and the Leaplink are great products, but Leapfrog simply has to lower their fees and improve their customer service. It is simply too expensive to use these products. The "free" membership was only good for one download.
258
The set is really cute, and Thomas really chugs along. My daughter really enjoys watching Thomas go. The only problem is that Thomas falls off the track too much when trying to go around the curves and where there is a break in the tracks (such as a switch track). My husband and I believe this is due to the fact that the wheels have rubber on them. It probably was not neccessary to put rubber on all of the wheels, especially the front ones. In looking at the Brio battery operated set, the engine only has rubber on the middle wheels - this is probably a better system. Also, Battery operated Thomas is higher than all of the other trains and cars, so the magnets don't hook on as well as they would with the regular engines. But those things aside, it really is a very fun thing to play with - adults and children!!
368
I don't know how isolated my case is but I found this game very poorly designed. First off the questions are based on the same movies and other Disney related topics over and over again. There isn't nearly enough variety making the game very repetative. Second, some of the cards are miss printed so that the answers don't match the questions. Third, the board was not designed correctly. Like Trivial Pursuit you have to acquire five colors which are red, yellow, purple, green and blue. Every space on the board has a Disney picture outlined in the color of the question to be asked. The problem is, there is no blue outlined spaces on the board. This means you can never be asked a "Blue" question, and you can never acquire the five colors to win the game. I was very dissapointed in this shotty product. You would expect quality from Disney. This game is anything but. I would definitely recommend not buying this game and going with the original version.
287
This game is great. It is just like traditional Monopoly but has been upgraded with todays hot tech companies instead of the traditional Atlantic City landmarks. You now deal in millions of dollars insted of ones and there are new pewter game pieces with things like a computer and a mouse. Instead of community chest and chance you have dowload and email cards. It is a great new update of classic monopoly.
287
I felt almost guilty buying this for myself. But as a 38 year old recently divorced, hard working mom of a wonderful 5 year old...a little tool of diversion seemed to be in order.I love the game. I was so lucky to have found it too...seems hard to locate in stores (so grab it online if you are interested).I'm a college grad and have always loved scrabble. I'm not a purist..I just wanted something I could sit down with either at work on break, or after I put my son to bed and I just need a diversion for a little while.If you are a scrabble purist, then please read the other reviews for insight. I however am just your typical adult who still likes to play games. I work hard all week and any kind of healthy diversion that I can fit into the few precious moments I have available for me, is worth it.I found this game to be easy to understand and to play. I'm glad I got it for myself...I think it will even help keep me from grazing late at night int he kitchen. LOL.

This is a nice puzzle, but I perfer the Jumbo Knob Puzzle Farm. The Jumbo Knob Puzzle has a knob instead of a peg and it is easier for little children to grasp.This puzzle will do just fine though, .... The edges are smooth and the base of the puzzle is thick enough that it is not going to break.

It took three people a half hour on Christmas morning to remove the dog from the box. We searched all over for a opening, there was none, and had to cut off the cardboard sides. The hard plastic top and bottom were wired to the dog, at least in 10 areas, and we had to be cut them off with wire cutters. The dog was also screwed into the bottom plastic frame. We had to use a long screwdriver to remove at least 4 screws which were down at least 6 inches into the stand, this made it difficult to see and to maintain the tension. Then we had to remove at least 3 more screws in other places. I know that many companies wire there toys to prevent shoplifting, but I have never experienced the trouble that I had with this toy. We were ready to send the item back, but did not want our child to be dissapointed. I would definitely suggest not to purchase this item, it was insulting what we had to go through to remove it. As far as her playing with the dog, she may have played with it for a total of 2 hours.

We have the original Mozart, Rhythms of the World, and Sounds of the Orchestra in addition to this one. I like Mozart and Bach the best.For those interested, the Bach tune is BWV 784 Two Part Invention #13 in A minor.

I first played this game at a friends house over New Year's. It was such a delight to play!The first player draws a card. Each card represents a person, place, thing, or year. At the top of the card is the answer and what category it falls in. The rest of the card contains twenty clues. The next player selects a number between 1 and 20 and marks the board so that no other players will ask for the same clue. The player with the card will read the clue aloud. The player asking for the clue gets one guess. If he/she is wrong, the next player asks for a clue and marks off the board that number.Play continues around the board until either someone guesses correctly the identity of the card, or all twenty questions are exhausted. Once the card is revealed the correct guesser gets to move ahead as many spaces as the unasked clues. In other words, the few clues you need, the farther you'll move on the board. The person with the card is awarded a number of spaces corresponding to the number of asked questions. So, the more clues revealed, the farther they will move on the board.Here is an example of a clue card (I'm a thing)... 1. I was invented in 1868. 2. I'm usually found on the rocks. 3. My colors are red and white. 4. I am sometimes associated with narcotics. 5. I'm a classic. 6. What I am made of is a closely guarded secret.The answer is...Coca Cola.This is a marvelously fun and educational game to play. I highly recommend this game.
287
I have played this game since high school and I still own it at 32. While the box has bite the dust everything else is still around in one way or another. Great game but time consuming. If you like risk you will love A&A.

Remarkable. Scrabble is cool. Hep. Rad. Outta sight. But Scrabble in this deluxe form is sublime, intoxicating. The pieces stay put, thanks to little walls around each space. You can spin the board so as to not need to examine it upside down. The pieces never slide around. The plastic coating lets you wipe it off, unlike the cardboard version which stains. Nothing is compromised from the original, flat cardboard version, but everything is improved.OK. Not everything. It still can't help you dump the Q, Z and J at the end of the game without a U. And it is unlikely to assist you in stopping your grandmother's amazing ability to squeeze you out of that triple word score you hoped to grab with a seven-letter word. Take that up with Gram. Just remember who made you the cookies.Seriously, I recommend this to any family or commited Scrabble player. Families need it for that `full-body contact' style of play that sometimes happens with children or cats involved. Commited Scrabble players need it for pretty much the same reason!I fully recommend this game.Anthony Trendleditor, HungarianBookstore.com

This shaver is totally worthless. It gives an uneven shave, for one thing; you have to go over the same spots several times to get enough of the hairs evenly trimmed. Also, if you have a thick beard, be prepared to continuously take the plastic guard off after each pass; it doesn't handle a lot of hair well.One other thing to keep in mind if you have a thick beard is to be prepared for the possibility of shaving it over several sessions. the battery in my unit is worthless. It craps out on me after five minutes, despite an all night charge. This is after a total ownership time measured in a few months, and using it only a few times each month.My advice is to pass this one up and go ahead and spend the money on a real shaver, something like a norelco. And cords, while they may be a pain sometimes, at least ensure that you can finish your shave.
207
I thought this item was great. I bought it before my New Year's Eve party so my guests could use it. Everyone loved it! My friends made responsible decisions about whether it was safe to drive, or call a taxi. It is so easy to use. And what a great price. I've seen other alcohol detectors out there that are bulky and expensive. This one fits right into your pocket and even has a built in backlight.One thing to note is you have to warm up the unit five times and wait a few minutes after consuming alcohol before blowing into it so you get the most accurate reading. A minor hassle but worth it!

We got the Uno Attack game for Christmas. We played the game and we all really enjoyed it. What we didn't enjoy was the fact that the mechanism that shot out the cards suddenly stopped doing it after the fourth game. We took the game back to the store for another and now we can't find one, anywhere.

I am getting ready to return this product! My daughter has only had this thing since Christmas morning. The two rings under the top are already deflated and they are not easy to repair! The jumping area is completed busted out! We have this product on our carpet in the living room, a very cushioned surface. My daughter is not a rough child and weighs only 47 pounds. I don't know if this particular jump-o-lene is just a lemon or if others are having the same problem.

I have had Monopoly for a number of years. It is a timeless game for all ages. You roll dice and go around the board, buying properties as you go. If you land on someone else's property you pay them. If you are interested in this you probably would like some of the other versions of Monopoly also. They are more updated and you should probably get one of them.

I'VE READ THE OTHER REVIEW AND DID NOT FIND IT TO BE TRUE. MY 5YR OLD DAUGHTER RECEIVED ONE FOR CHRISTMAS AND IT IS NOW MISPLACED AND SHE'S HEARTBROKEN. SHE HAD BEEN INTERCHANGING BARBIE CLOTHES FOR JESSIE'S AND HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME. SHE SLEPT WITH HER AND PLAYED CONTINUALLY WITH HER AND WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY BREAKAGE OR PROBLEMS. MY OLDEST DAUGHTER HAS THE BIGGER VERSION AND SHE LOVES HERS ALSO. I THINK IT'S A VERY CUTE AND WONDERFUL DOLL FOR GIRLS OF ANY AGE!

I purchased this for my 10-month old son. He loves to open and close the refrigerator door and push the button for the ice maker. He hasn't quite gotten the concept of the pot and pan yet. The oven door on the unit we purchased is hard to open, but he still enjoys trying. I do agree with others that it is very light-weight. (My son tips it over and lays on the back.) I wish there were some anchor points in back so it could be attached to a wall or sturdy piece of furniture. It is an extremely durable toy and I have already purchased another similar one for his birthday.

"........I like it because he comes off the motorcycle, so you get 2 things, not just one". The motorcycle is cool because it doesn't fall down like other motorcycles and it has a ramrod-type of thing that snaps out when you push the button. Kids love those kinds of things. Rescue Heroes are just great, not just from a kids perspective, but from a parents perspectives because they do teach kids to help others and not just by catching bad guys with guns. And all the kids I know seem to just love them.

I read the reviews of this product and purchased the Alphabet Apple for my toddler based on these. Although I think it is a great educational toy and virtually indistructable it definitely isn't terribly useful or helpful for a 2 year old as you claimed. The correct manufacturer age is for 3 yrs. old and up not 2 yrs. as you stated. If the info you provided was correct I probably would have waited a year to get this toy. I think others would too. Otherwise it is a great learning tool.

I keep my Bop-It Extreme in my car - it's a great stress reliever for traffic back-ups or waiting for someone. Kept my 35-year-old friend and his 8-year-old son both entertained for an hour long car trip (both of them going "come on, it's my turn, pass it!")Several of my other adult friends have found it to be addictive and bought one for themselves based on borrowing mine.Would I play it every single day for an hour? No. But as a break in the hum-drum, and a chance to yell and hit something for fun, I think it's great for all ages!

My son is 12 months old and still loves this toy. I gave it to him when he was 6 months old. He cried at first because of all the noise the many pieces make as the unit's wheels spins but quickly got over it. This toy could annoy many parents since it does not have a volumn control, it only plays one tune, has many pieces, the mat that comes with it is silly, and the unit is loud when the pieces are spinning on the wheel. With all that, I love it because it keeps my son busy for long periods of time and assists him in improving his hand-eye coordination. This toy is incredibly durable. My son drags and flips it, drops things on it and walks and stands on it without the unit missing a beat. Batteries last an unbelievably long amount of time, too. As he gets new toys, he always brings the new toys back to the Twirlin Garden to see how they'll spin.

Forget the Batteries and The Moving Parts. The Rock a Stack Infant Toy will entertain your child for hours. Our six month old likes to remove and chew on the rings. Best of all, it goes in the dishwasher and packs easily. For the price you can't go wrong! Also teaches colors and independent play!

My stepbrother had one of these on his keyring, and I would hear him playing with it for hours. The song started to get really annoying so I went over and asked him what it was. Once I tried it, I was totally addicted to it and had to get one. I am 24! I got my mom and my sister one and they both became Bop It addicts as well. Although I have to say, after about 3 days it gets really old. But, I just put mine down and pick it up a few days later and it's fun again.The Pro's

This is the most strongest gundam model out there. If you buy it, build it, You will think it was worth it.Now, here is a little story about MY heavyarms model.My bro had a wing zero model and he was firing the buster rifle at my heavyarms and he broke one side of the crown and he broke the other side for the heck of it.This means big bros are strong and they can still brake it, but otherwise, the model is stong.So whath out for big brothers!!!The model is also very fun.From the army knirfe, to the freaky machine gun(excuse my language.Note:there is no glue required for this model.YAY!)

MY 7 YR OLD SON GOT THIS FOR CHRISTMAS AND REALLY ENJOYS PLAYING WITH IT. THOUGH THE SPEED WAS FAST, HE QUICKLY MASTERED THE SKILLS NEEDED TO PLAY WITH IT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IT HAS USED THREE SETS OF BATTERIES (ALKALINE) SO QUICKLY!!! NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER TOY!! BUT HE LOVES IT SO WE JUST KEEP BUYING MORE BATTERIED.

My daughter received a blopen kit over a year ago. She has used it for many school projects and also just for fun. She and her friends love it and the teachers have commented on how original her projects are. They want to know how she did it. She did one project which had to do with space and planets. She used the blopens to make the background(Blue black and purple). It looked realistic and then she mounted her planets on top. They were also made using the blopens and the whole effect was very artistic. The only negative comment I have is that I have not been able to find replacement pens anywhere including on the internet. It would be nice to be able to buy replacement pens without having to buy the whole kit again.

Recently purchased this for my 9 month old daughter. She's mastered pulling up on things for past two months, yet this is quite wobbly to pull up on. Base should be more weighted. Tips over easily when pulling up, which given the name of the toy, is meant to be pulled up on, so would think it would be more weighted at the bottom. The balls are awkward for her to pick up, and she cannot hold them in one hand. Assembly was a little tricky. On the plus side, the music is cute and different. Seems like a nice toy to sit on the floor and play with my daughter with, as long as I drop the balls in there. The music and watching the balls go down amuses her. But she really can't pick up the balls to play with this herself. For now is just something else for her to pull up on, but have to be careful that it's not near a wall or her crib so she doesn't hurt herself when she pulls the toy down on herself. Seems best as a toy to play with together with your child. I think she will enjoy it more when her hands grow more and can pick up the balls and do it herself.

My 3 & 2 year old sons had great fun last summer with their water t-ball and can't wait for summer to return to start playing again. It's one of their favorite summer time activities. The best part is that after a parent sets it up to spray at the right height for your child, the kids are proud to be able to do the rest themselves. There are times when it needs to be re-adjusted to spray correctly, but I didn't have to get wet to do so. Not only do the kids stay cool, but they practice batting at the same time.

I loved this game as a child, and I love it now as a mommy. I have six kids, and I've noticed that my girls generally like this game better than my boys.It is very colorful, and the movements across the board are based on the color of the card one chooses from the deck. If you pick a blue card, you move to the next blue square.The game is spiced up by the addition of "special" squares and "special" cards... you might get one of these cards that moves you to the beginning of the game!! Or it might move you from near the beginning to the end!It is a bit more unpredictable than Chutes and Ladders because of these cards.It's a great tool when the kids are learning their colors, and also just for teaching the idea of taking turns and as an introduction to board games.We keep it fun, and if the 3 year old really insists on going to a green square when he has a yellow card, well, we let him.I recommend this one for preschoolers and the mommies who love them.

Our son received one of these for Christmas and I thought "there go the quiet weekend mornings"! Well, I finally got my hands on it and it is really fun (I'm 40). My wife loves it too (she's a bit younger).The only shortcoming is this thing really eats batteries. We can't get more than a couple of days out of a set of batteries, so if I were you, I'd consider rechargables.The bop, pull, twist, etc. are a great way to build hand / eye / ear coordination, while having a lot of fun. There are solo games and competitive games you can play with Bop It, and it's built to take a pounding. If you are looking for a real fun game to give to a kid, adult, or even senior, this is sure to be a hit.

This wagon is fun for my now 3 year old son. He received this wagon when he was 1 1/2, It was fine then, but now his legs are so long that there is no room for his younger brother in the wagon. It is not a very roomy wagon, and although they say that the wheels are "quiet ride" wheels, they are pretty loud. So this is only a good wagon for one passenger.

When this came out I thought it would be ok to play but as I found out this games has many bad things about it.Here is a list- 1.To hard to play.-2.VERY clumsly"with the playmat".-3.Not as fun as magic or pokemon.----If you are going to start to learn how to play a card game,play magic.This game will just cost you .. of garbage.Magic is alot more fun.

This is a great model/toy. I've seen the other japanesse models, and they don't have this one. This model has the best quality out of the other Irwin models. I think any true DBZ fan should have this model.

I have a 10 and a 7 year old child that absolutely love Steve and Terri Irwin; they seldom miss an episode of "The Crocodile Hunter" on Animal Planet. So buying this game should have been a no-brainer in terms of getting something fun for them to play with. Right? Well, sort of...There isn't much challenge to the game, so my 10 year old was quickly turned off to it. Not even the fun-fact cards could sustain her interest in the game.My 7 year old son was another story. The roaming crocodile that pops Steve (or Terri) off the fence gets him every time! Ideally I'd like my son to sit still long enough to absorb the info. on the game cards.All in all...a fun game, but for younger children.

I bought this wagon for my girls ages 2 and 4 and they love it. I take them for walks in it to the park and they sit still in the wagon better than their comfortable double stroller go figure. There is storage under one of the seats which is great for a few small toys or Moms purse. The cup holders are great only for the narrow bottom cups not the wide sippy cups. The only problem I had with it was one night last month the wagon was parked near a base board heater (not touching)in the front hall and it melted the plastic slightly. It's been great fun other than that so overall it's a thumbs up!

The LEGO Championship Challenge is a great toy for anyone 4 and older. As all LEGO toys, there is not only one design you can build, and each of teh desighs is a lot of fun. Little LEGO players will definitely need help to put this together, but putting it together is fun for grown-ups as well. THe durable, flexible players allow for almost real soccer game.

A friend of mine gave this toy to me after it went through her two very tough boys. It looks pretty good except one of the eyes is missing, but my daughter doesn't care! She loves this toy and after already being through two kids it still looks pretty good!

My 8 month-old daughter has had this for a few months. She likes the spinning, but once she has knocked the blocks off, it's REALLY loud as the blocks spin around. The toy only plays one song. Over and over. It would have been better to play different tunes. The velcro that holds the toy together for travel doesn't adhere to itself, so ours is not mobile. Also, the flowers don't go up and down very much, not like the commercial. BUT if you want a toy that does something to keep your child's attention, and makes a LOT of noise, this is it. Seems to make her happy and that's all that matters. :)

Sea Monkeys are awesome. I cannot believe how amazing they are. First of all, setting up the tank is easy. You put 12 ounces of water in it, add the Water Purifier, and mix until dissolved. Then you wait 24-36 hours... when the time has passed, you just open the packet of eggs, stir and that's it. Then they're born! Everything's so easy with Sea Monkeys!Sea Monkeys are pretty tiny at first. I had a hard time telling what was a Sea Monkey or a bubble. But they grow quickly. They don't eat much; only once a week. They're good pets for busy people because they don't need much care. Here are a few bad things about the Sea Monkey set

I have been using a Sonicare for over five years, and I can honestly say that no other product comes close. It helped eliminate the gingivitis problem I had, and it really gets rid of plaque. My dentist recommends it.My Sonicare is one of my most useful and reliable possessions. Sonicare also makes a great gift, if done tastefully.

Hello and I am a 13 year old boy that just bought this. This was my first kit! Wow I think it looks pretty realistic for being a little model. I actually have had no parts fall off of this and it is very poseable! I love painting these things and a felt tip pen works fine for the fine lines! I will definetly buy more of these kits in the future. My next kit I have to get is the Deathscythe H*** Custom!!!

I've own this shaver for more than one year. This is the best shaver I've ever owned. It works even when you're taking a shower. You don't have to change the blade too often like usual shaver. By using this shaver, it'll remove your hair perfectly. I really suggest you to have this shaver.
