__label__2 Good Stuff: Of all the myriad of products our daughter has tried to control diaper rash, she says this is the best. Our pharmacist recommended it when the kids were here last Christmas. So, we used it and it finally got the rash under control. After she went home, (Florida), she couldn't find it. So, we were buying tubes locally and shipping them to Florida. Then, it ocurred to me that Amazon might have it-WALLA! We order it from Amazon and have it shipped there. SWEET!!! Or, rather, getting it there is now smoother than a baby's bottom!!!
__label__2 Absolute BEST!: Best diaper cream ever! Clears up diaper rash overnight and doesn't have the awful smell. Plus, a much creamier texture. Should be issued with the baby.
__label__2 What a Great Resource!: This is an excellent book, and its subtitle (Artist Management: The Ultimate Responsibility) is proved throughout the book. Written by a college professor, this book gave me so many answers about the music industry that I was looking for. Topics include Personal Management, The Contract, Legal Aspects, Marketing the Artist, The Record Company, Touring, Care and Feeding of the Creative, Merchandising, Endorsments & Sponsorship, Business Management, and Case Studies on Legal Battles. Before I read this book, I was remotely considering going into music business management. Now I'm sold!! Now what does that tell you about the depth of this book?
__label__2 Beautiful and peaceful music! Recommended!: I listened to their music, and just had to have a cd for myself to listen to. I just love this music, it is so peaceful and beautiful to listen to. I never tire of listening to it. I recommend it to anyone. It is especially refreshing to listen to in this fast paced world that we live in. It is calming and relaxing. I highly recommend it. It is also great for gift giving. Enjoy!
__label__2 A must read for a caregiver: I read this book days after discovering my father has stomach cancer. I am so greatful for this book. There are not many books that deal exclusively with gastric cancer and that is what made this book so important to me. For me it was good to go through the entire process of before diagnosis to death throught the voice and eyes of a top Gastroenterologist. I thought the book was a bit over the top with the descriptions of their wealth and fortunes. I also skipped over the religious/god bit. But overall I was truly touched with the descriptions of her death. With reagrd to the alternative treatments I suppose it discouraged me from waisting money on it. It helped me focus of what does work and the thought that hope is a powerful motivator. It gave me and idea of what to expect for my father and for that I am grateful.
__label__2 Works: I used to play table tennis years ago and just recently joined a local league to get back into it. I was looking for a decent all around racket that didn't have too much power or spin and this serves my purposes. I've been using it for a couple of months. Keeping it in a case and rubber clean after matches and it's holding up well.
__label__1 Not a very Good product for your value: Please do not go by the sale price. Other Rackets for the same price (but not on sale) are better than these.Wouldn't recommend for the price.
__label__2 The soundtrack to the movie "Claudine": I've been searching for so long for the CD or DVD to the 20th Century Fox 1974 movie "Claudine" for sooo... long. I know that Curtis Mayfield scored, wrote and produced this soundtrack and Glayds Knight & The Pips added their soulful sound to this film. Also, the CD was reissued and was produced by Tom Cartwright. Please help me find this DVD or CD.
__label__1 Not that impressed: I bought this for my now 3 year older daughter. It would not stay on her graco carseat. The toys were boring and when she grabbed them it fell over. Later, she could just push the whole thing over.
__label__1 Nice idea, but hard to clip on: This is a nice little clip on toy to entertain your child, however, it is very hard to clip onto my daughter's Quattro Tour Latch Travel System (Graco). I was able to get it on, after about 20 minutes of work, but it wouldn't stay in an upright position. Before you buy this toy, make sure that your stroller or carseat, etc. has a thin bar/rail that the toy can be attached to.One bonus- it did fold very easily and fit nicely into my daughter's diaper bag.
__label__1 DOES NOT CLIP TO A GRACO INFANT CAR SEAT!: I bought this to attach to my daughter's infant car seat. Big mistake! It did not stay clipped and kept falling down on top of her. I then bought the Tiny Love Sunny Stroll Arch as a replacement as that has an adjustable clamp and though that clamped on ok, the clamp eventually cracked after 1 week of use making it both dangerous and un-useable. I am very disappointed in the Tiny Love stroller arches!
__label__1 Don't waste your money: My four month old cries in the car, so I hunted this toy down, hoping it might entertain him. He loves it...but sadly, the clips are not large enough to attach to the car seat. I ended up attaching the clips to the retractable hood on the car seat, which somewhat works, but even then the arch is so short that the toys hang right in front of his chest.At that close range, my son can easily pull on the toys hard enough to completely pull the arch off.This is a great concept, but the arch needs to be extendable, the clips more adaptable and sturdier (maybe with rubber lining), and it might even be better for the toys to be on springy cloth attachments to make them more "pull" friendly.I wish I hadn't so hastily cut off the tags...
__label__1 Better products out there: We didn't have this toy for long because it would not clip onto anything. I bought initially for the carseat on the road, (can't have the bar up while driving) but it wouldn't clip on to the carseat. It also didn't clip on to his bassinet. There was no point in having this toy, so we returned the item.As other people said it would collapse easily.Instead I use the Lamaze: Link Along Friends. I clip those to the hood of the carseat while driving. He loves to play with those toys.
__label__1 Cute but not for a Britax carseat: I bought this because on the package it said that you could use it on all car seats, strollers and infant carriers. However, I have a Britax Marathon with very thick padding and curved sides and couldn't find a way to make it work. Too bad because it's very cute and the colors are beautiful.
__label__2 Great, versitle toy!: We bought this toy because our daugher loved her other Tiny Love toys so much, and we wanted something we could take around with us. I wouldn't recommend it for carseats (it's not really safe to have toys like this on an infant carseat, anyway), because it doesn't stay clipped on very well. However, the toys can be removed from the arch and easily fastened to the infant carseat handle.We use the arch mostly on her stroller (clips perfectly onto the Evenflo strollers), but also use it on her swing (the Fisher Price Aquarium Swing), her bouncy seat, and her bassinette. You can also clip the toys from other Tiny Love products onto the arch, to keep the toy interesting for the baby.
__label__1 Waste of money: This item is either in the backseat of my jeep or in the cargo area because it NEVER stays on my son's carseat when I attach it. It always falls on him and is impossible to secure. There are other items out there that come as just the toys that you can link onto strollers, carseats, etc. and those toys are bigger and more engaging than the ones on the arch.
__label__2 Great for Shopping!: When my daughter was in her infant car seat/carrier, this was a great toy to use during shopping trips. At first, she would just stare at the toys swinging back and forth. When she was able to grab, she loved to feel the different textures of the bugs. I also attached it to her swing at home for extra amusement.
__label__1 Poo!: I searched high and low for just this item. Imagine my disappointment when I brought it home and it wouldnt attach to my stroller (Zooper Z-Street). I thought, OK, maybe it will attach to a different brand, but I just read reviews that it wont even attach to a Graco. Fix the item and more of us wont have to return it!
__label__1 Does not stay on: I have a Graco Comfort car seat and this does not stay on. It is good in theory but if you have a 5 month old baby who likes to pull on the toys, it does not work. The clips need to be able to attach more securely.
__label__1 Doesn't clip to the car seat: The toys on this arch are very cute. My son loves them. However, it does not clip on very well to the car seat (Graco Snug Ride). Sometimes I can get it to stay on for a few minutes, but then it pops off. If the fit was better it would be excellent, but as is it is useless as a car toy. We take the dangling toys off and use them with the Gymini or to play with separately, but you could find other toys that are cheaper to suit this purpose. I would not recommend buying this if you want something to clip to the car seat.
__label__1 Waste of Money: Cute idea but would not attach securely to my graco travel system. Item fell off and hit baby after numerous attempts to fasten.
__label__1 Not for the Peg Perego Venezia: I bought this stroller arch because it seemed like it would be excellent entertainment for my baby. However, the arch did not fit appropriately on the sides of my Peg Perego Venezia stroller or my Peg Perego Primo Viaggio car seat. There is a great deal of cushioning on my stroller and car seat, and the sides where the arch should attach seem to be much wider than other strollers. Unfortunately, the stroller arch clips could not fit around the cushioning or sides. Kind of disappointed that I have to make another trip to BRU to return it.
__label__1 Does not stay attached to car seat: My 3 month old loves playing with this toy when he is in his car seat, but he can now grab the toys and pull them. When he does this the arch comes off the car seat and it has already it him twice on the head. I wish that this product was designed better because my son really does love it.
__label__1 Dangerous small parts: My daugher loved this arch her first few weeks. It cliped onto her bassinet nicely and she was able to just touch the toys to get them moving.I had trouble attaching it to either of my strollers and ended up taking the toys off for her to play with. The plastic eye on the bug came off. I called the company to let them know. They said that wasn't a problem they were aware of and offered to replace it. It isn't something I'd let her play with again or recommend.
__label__2 An alternative to a mobile: We are currently using a bassinet for our son, but I was disapointed that we could not hang a mobile up to entertain our son. Then we hit on the idea of using the arch instead. Our son loves looking up at the arch and trying to bat at the toys. We also use the velcro strap on the airplane to tie it around his wrist so he can play with the plane as a wrist rattle.
__label__1 It is in the closet!: I got this as a gift at one of my showers. It looked like it would be great, except it wouldn't stay clipped to anything. It actually popped off and hit my daughter in the face, so now it resides in the back of the closet. I wouldn't even put it in my goodwill box. It will probably end up the in the trash.
__label__1 Great idea..poor execution...: It's a great idea to have a toy that clips on to any seat. It does not clip on to our Graco Snugride and even if I manage to get it clipped on somewhere my 5 mo old daughter has been able to yank it right off..so it's been pretty useless so far... dunno how else to use it... I've found other clip-on toys by Kids 2 and other more useful. Overall bad product if you have a car seat that it doesn't clip onto too well
__label__1 Great idea, great toys, doesn't fit: I think they made a really great toy. I like the idea of detatchable toys I can rotate or even substitute in. What is frustrating is that adjustability was not a concern in their design of this product. It definitely does not fit on the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Car Seat nor the Peg Perego Aria LB stroller. The clips on either end of the arch do not open very wide. I was very disappointed though--it would have been a great concept.
__label__1 good for begininers: having already done basics of belly dancing, this was a little easy for me, got bored of it very quickly. didn't learn anything new so i didn't like it much, but it'd be great for beginners who are new to the world of belly dancing.
__label__2 Rania does it best: Rania's chill & friendly approach will encourage you to get into bellydancing and stick with it. I have repeatedly gone back to her video materials since 2004.
__label__1 Novice Instructor: The vidio was ok showing the introductory moves but the dance portion of the vidio wasn't very good. The moves looked silly.At the end of the vidio it shows the instructor dancing. If I had seen this portion of the vidio first I wouldn't have bought the DVD. She looked like a novice to me.
__label__2 Made a cute gift!: Made a neat gift to give to a crafty and creative 8 year old niece. I would suggest this to others
__label__1 Wrong size: This frame does NOT hold a 3x5 picture. The frame itself may be 3x5, the but picture itself holds a wallet size. I was very disappointed by how small it was!
__label__1 very disappointing: The quality is very disappointing. I was going to give it to my granddaughter but gave it to the wastebasket instead. Don't waste your money.
__label__2 the womble twist :-))))): the luckiest of all childhood memories (and all brought back on one cd) :-))))))) - (refreshing and joyful - but all who know them, know that already) :-))))
__label__2 The Wombles Wock!: These fellas remind me of my scruffy little dog Penny...two eyes and a nose, cute as hell, lots of personality, and always ready for a song. Recorded in the early 70s, their environmental message was ahead of its time. Hard to argue with their recycle/reuse message, especially when you're can't help but sing along to the catchy tunes!
__label__2 integrate your brain, expand your aura: This DVD was a pleasure from start to finish. Ravi Singh and Ana Brett are great at finding new ways to feel good. While the exercises are accessible, they challenge one's coordination, strength and stamina. Lots of bowing and arm movements bring energy to the higher chakras where the higher emotions reside. Enjoy.
__label__1 Not What I've Come To Expect: Lunges and squats - two things that absolutely kill my knees. I was very disappointed that the "meat" of this workout included 17 minutes of exercises that I will have to skip because it had my knees aching for days afterwards. This dvd reminds me of everything I hate about typical gym class workouts and traditional workout videos. I absoutely adore the Fat Free, Warrior, Ultimate Stretch, and Yoga Body Beauty workouts from Ravi and Ana. The new scenery, repetitive music, and assessory changes throughout the video were also very distracting to me. I'm afraid this one will be gathering dust on my shelf. Very disappointed after waiting over a month for it to arrive.
__label__2 Great energy-true radiance: I love this DVD! Ana is so alive and vital! The movements and poses make me feel alive as well. I'm a yoga teacher and the renewal I feel after doing this workout with her is amazing! I also take many of these moves into my classroom and teach them to my students and they love it as much as I do. You have to try Kundalini! Whether you do a little to begin with or all of it at once, you'll feel renewed and refreshed! I highly recommend it!
__label__2 kundalini is "the onda": Kundalini is "the onda" in yoga. It helps you to balance your body, mind and spirit, it helps you to feel better, it gives you radiance, and self confidence, and boost your immune system. Ana Brett and Ravi Singh have helped a lot of people by making kundalini easy and available ofr everyone.
__label__2 My favorite all time RaviAna workout!: This is currently my favorite workout! The radiance salutation is so simple yet completely takes me to a moving meditation level I have never experienced! The rest of the dvd is great too...not too tough, great when your energy is low or you need to get into the NOW now. This one does lift you up...but has a nice balance to bring you back down and ground you. It is an interesting sequence that will surprise you. Try it, you will likely like it! I sure the heck did and still do. Ana does such a great job...and oh, duh...all three of these new dvd's have such beautiful chants after the deep relaxation and before the closing prayer. Love em!
__label__2 Great Workout: I own and love several of Ana & Ravi's videos, and I wasn't disappointed at all with this new one. I especially enjoyed the new mantras and the variety of excercises.(My one complaint would be than Ana's new blond hair and various style changes during the video can be a little distracting.)
__label__1 not what you would expect & hope for from them: I also was disappointed in this DVD. I am a little confused as to what it is about...is it a cardio/yoga class like the ones offered at the gym? or is it kundalini yoga? I'm leaning towards the cardio/yoga gym class type. The way I feel is that if I wanted a cardio workout I can go for a walk, a run, or jump around my house for 30 minutes which is kind of what this routine felt like. I own all of their DVDs and I was expecting somehting much different. Does anyone even know if this could be considered kundalini yoga?? I wanted more of a workout that works from the inside out...this one seems to focus on the outside too much..i'll try it a few more times and see if I change my mind..
__label__2 What's So Good About Kundalini Yoga: In my opinion, this DVD is the best representation of Kundalini Yoga that I've experienced so far. What I love about Ana & Ravi's style is that they are so encouraging and the instruction is first rate, so you're getting the best of ancient and new: the depth of yoga with cutting edge fitness. You always feel with their DVD's that you're in good hands and before you now it you've completed an exercise which has taken you to a totally new level of personal breakthrough. With the Matrix Menu option, you can customize this DVD and work out for a week and never do the same workout twice. In this time of economic strain, I feel that this is a much better bargain than taking live yoga classes!
__label__2 Wow, Wow, Wow Factor in Triplicate!: My hat goes off to Ana & Ravi for having the guts to create a DVD so inspiring and powerful. In a world where the generic receives top billing, too many amazing things go under the radar. I hope this review will inspire people to try something new and different. This is a great workout on all levels. The high point for me was the Tiger Claws exercise which goes on for quite a few minutes. It's great training to learn to persevere and be timeless in your tasks. Ana is fun to watch and an amazing athlete. She has inspired me to really get into Kundalini Yoga and it is changing my life!
__label__2 Forget lyrics.: The fact that Mogwai will continue to go largely unappreciated throughout their music carrer is a great shame. When I've showed this CD to various people they have instantly brushed it off because of the lack of lyrics. All I can say to this type of person is that you must try to look beyond the superficiality of words over songs and listen to the profound greatness beneath which is Mogwai. Lyrics do not make a great song, feeling and emotion makes a great song and Mogwai oozes with these qualities.
__label__2 Outstanding EP: Everything recorded around this Come on die young period is stellar..In many ways i wish the band never outgrew the stark formats that in my opinion pushed them farther as musicians then anything has since..Some truly beautiful gems here, almost too good to believe they just didn't put it on CODY and make it the ultimate album of that year..The material is a little more cheery (cheery-ha!), then that of CODY but would have worked well in contrast to so many of that album's empty feelings..
__label__1 Garbage: Just plain garbage.. Didnt take a full charge..And little by little toke less of a charge.. I finally got tired and junk it about a week later..
__label__1 I stopped using it: I got this thinking that it would work with any charge cable. It does not, it only works with the cheap cable that you get with it. The cable plugs into the black part shown in the picture.I was very disappointed with the cable and also disappointed that it did not work with normal 360 play n' charge cables. When the cable broke (which only took a few weeks) I couldn't use the battery anymore and had no way to charge it. I would not buy this again.
__label__1 Just buy a real one: I call myself being reliable and buying this cheap acessory. Never again....It never fully charged and as a week went by it died and since then only charges up to a bar or two..... I'm gonna buy a real microsoft one soon.
__label__2 Good: Like it said, its 3600 mAh not the number that is pictured. I plugged the thing in immediately and started my XBOX and it shows almost a full battery. Working perfect so far.
__label__1 battery are defective seller"eforcity" itself is responsible they take care of the problem would buy again but not batteries.: I would buy from seller eforcity its not them its actually the batteries they look like cheap china made most of them are defectibe again ITS NOT THE SELLER its the prodct!should get all those batteries and throw them away.!!
__label__2 Bought it at Amoebva for 30 bucks: And its half the price on amazon!You should definitely get it if you are a fan of Siouxsie.Her voice sounds a tad different when she performs, but I like it because it gives the songs a different feel (if slightly). And she is so kool on stage. She does all those weird dances, and you can feel the power of her voice.Did I mention this is Siouxsie Sioux?You can't go wrong with Siouxsie live!
__label__1 Only slightly helpful: This book is a light little read, and worth the price if you get it used for under 10 bucks. However, most of the articles are not as in depth as they should be. The author spends quite some time referencing other books for the reader to look into (some are horribly out of date). This book is mostly just a cursory glance at the real subject of changing your identity. I almost feel as if the author is simply trying to make more money by referencing other books he has written instead of putting in the effort to write one really helpful good book. So like I said worth it if you get it really cheap otherwise do some research yourself on the subject.
__label__1 Lame: Nothing in here that isn't on every single page of the google results for changing identities. I had to write a paper on "Being on the lamb" and thought this would be an interesting way to approach it... not the case. This is a book of common knowledge and outdated tricks.
__label__1 Silence singles = fail: Firstly the tracklist for this single does not match up with the cover art picture shown for the listing, the same goes for the part 1 single listed on amazon.So if your buying this cd based on this cover you are getting the 2 track single.In regards to the tracks listed for this item (silence, tanglin and butterfly) if you do not like country music you will not like tanglin. Butterfly is very similar to blind on the other silence single, slow, dull and not worth a listen.Overall both of these singles stink, only worth getting for the completist. Also these songs are found on Five Men in a Hut.
__label__2 Great B-Sides from the STD year: That's Split The Difference, to the non-crazed fan. For those of us who live and die for this band, this is a nice collection from the STD year. Not the best stuff Gomez has done, but even at their worst, they're the best band around.Butterfly (which I've never understood why they didn't call it Alibi) is an amazing, though heart ripping, love song from Ben.A great addition to the Gomez catalog, of course, but not earth shattering.
__label__2 Fantastic: I thought this was a demented are go cd when i first heard it, and I got really frustrated when I couldn't find it as a DAG release. But then, lo and behold, here it is as Demented Scumcats. This is an awesome cd, and apperently there are others, so in summary, IF YOU ARE A DEMON TEDS FAN, BUY THIS TOO! It Really rocks
__label__1 More of the same old stuff.: This was not what i thought I was getting, it is more of the same old films and does not come up with anything new. I watched once and put it away and will sell at the next yard sale. Not much here to recommend and I would not purchase it again.
__label__2 wow: here on time which is great,, my husband loves WWII so I knew he would love this. great to watch and to learn
__label__1 horrible: ...this album looks like something the talentless a** clown down the hall in your dorm made in his dormroom...only worse, yuck
__label__1 Lol, is this a joke???: No seriously is this a joke??? He still makes music??? Well I bet the booklet would be good to wipe my ....
__label__1 ...: Is this a single cos it does not say wot it is or is it a album, it should say how many tracks it has on it. And i will be happy if u can email me back answering these qusetions.thanks
__label__2 great cd....!!: great cd, but basically a re-release of ICE's "bipolar" album but without the rock stuff... but his new hip hop stuff is better anyways... vanillaice.com has more info. on the matter...
__label__1 garbage but.........: I think this album is trash, I think Ice needs to quit while he has a little dignity left....maybe go back to the surreal life......but. Someone on here was ripping on all whit e rappers calling this "a sin" and "filth" and that hes the "biggest joke in the industry.. Now, not defending Mr. Van Winkle, but how is it filth for him to do this but not EVERY OTHER RAPPER IN THE GAME???, Also, as far as "white" rappers, Eminem has talent, and when this ass came out he did too (for his time period). Also, he's not the biggest joke in the game. That title would be a tie.... Jay Z (because he got ripped apart by Camron.. Camron for christs sake!!!!) and of course, who could forget the talentless Benzino.. Benzino is the biggest joke ever.. I could rap circles around him, and I hate hip hop
__label__2 Clear Vision of the Future: X-Automation of the Firm is an extremely concisely written book that gives some groundbreaking insights into the implications web-technologies are going to have on the way companies collaborate. The key theme of the book is cross automation in all its dimensions and how value can be created by not optimizing each company seperately but rather optimizing across markets and the value chain. I was thrilled to see what companies are already doing today. Would you have though that you can buy an SAP implementation over the internet and save more than 50% on consulting fees, hardware and the rest and receive a clean fixed price offer? This is really groundbreaking stuff.
__label__1 All flash and no dash: This book basically recycles lots of basic concepts from Mitchel Madison and others with a high tech wrapper in an attempt to make it more compelling and complex. The basic themes are simple enough to grasp. Fortunately it is a quick read although the numerous typos are a bit annoying. The many sourcing stories are fun to read for this so inclined.
__label__1 Another book on the great salvaging potential of E-Biz: Honestly, I liked most of the charts better when they were originally published by the Mitchell Madison Group in the Mid-1990's.For anyone interested in a loose compilation of older charts from various consulting and software companies, this book is to be highly recommended. Don't go here for any new truly new thoughts - either on E-Biz or Purchasing.If you are interested in some really groundbreaking thoughts, I recommend Oz Shy's "The Economics of Network Industries", certainly less glitzy, but with substantial depth.
__label__2 Dinosaurs from a Creationist perspective: My 9 year old son loves this book! It is well written with sections and pictures to make it interesting for kids, but very factual for adults as well. The Biblical perspective is excellent and soundly backed up with scientific evidence gathered from both Christian and secular sources.This book is full of the dinosaur facts and trivia my son is fascinated with and is soundly based on proven science and Biblical research. A very balanced and well-thought out book.I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in seeing the proven facts behind the dinosaurs contrasted with the theories. There is an over-abundance of evolutionary kids books stating theory as fact and only telling part of the story. It is so refreshing to find such a well-written book from a Christian perspective that truly takes on the secular theories and uses solid science to back Creationist views.
__label__1 materialism disquised as theology: Once again Mr Ham has taken a sophistic look at the world and written a book whose basis lies not in reality but in the author's beliefs. I suspect that the root cause of Mr Ham's obsession lie not in a misunderstanding of science but in a misunderstanding of Christ's message, "My Kingsom is not of this world". If God chose to use the Big Bang and Evolution to form His creation (as the evidence overwhelmingly indicates), then so be it. It does not alter the true message of Christ. His work is a continuing effort to intertwine materialism and theology. Basically an attempt to put God in a box. Just as I will never listen to a scientist attempt to explain God, I will not listen to a preacher attempt to explain science.
__label__2 Mind body oracle insight: I really liked these cards.The egg type shape is new and can make routines for oracle shufflers a little challenging but the overall look and beauty far outweighs this aspect.The simple words and body mind insights make these cards a valuable tool for healers with clients and those working with themselves to drill into spiritual and body mind lessons.
__label__1 pretty gross: While some of the original artwork was intriguing, much of it was really obscene. I did like the collections of "vintage" cards and album art.
__label__2 Tasty: Nueva Cocina has good products with good ingredients and are easy/fast to prepare. This one is tasty amd mildly spiced. I add onions, garlic, corn and peppers.
__label__2 Love this Chilli: I can't get this in the North, so I order it here, it cost a little more with shipping, but what can I say "its Wolf".
__label__2 Wolf Chili: This is an excellent hot dog chili, much easier than homemade. Also a great topping for nachos.
__label__1 Seemed like a deal but...: Seemed like a deal at the time but after noticing the size of the cans, not so much. I love the taste of this chili and after moving from Texas could not find it in Nevada I ordered a case. Won't do it again. Will suffer with Hormel out of the grocery store. The small can size, which I have never seen in a store is not worth the per can cost.
__label__1 Doesn't work: Worked for the first hour or so and then it just stopped working. doesn't turn on at all now. my son really wants to play with it but it doesn't work/wheels don't move at all even with a new battery. will need to return this item sadly. would not recommend buying this.
__label__1 DON'T BUY: This is the 3rd one I bought and it works for a short period and then stops. DO NOT buy this item
__label__1 Thomas battery engines: fun until they break: We bought a pair of the metal, battery powered 'Thomas' trains and one stopped working almost immediately.Upon opening the case (required special triangle driver bits that we had to buy for $10) we discovered that a wire had come loose from the motor (factory solder job didnt hold). After getting all the necessary tools assembled (solder iron, solder, flux, etc) we repaired the motor.Trying to reassemble keeping the gears in place while replacing the body was very difficult. It worked great...for 30 min and now died again.My kids may drop the train from 1-2 ft high (they're 2 years old, so not any higher than 2 ft up), but a $30 metal clad toy should survive a 2 year old who isnt rough with it. I would NOT buy these again. It seemed like fun, but at $30 each + tools to repair...find your kids something else.
__label__2 We Love Battery Powered Percy!: Wow, I am *REALLY* surprised at some of the problems people have said that they have had with their engines. We purchased Battery Thomas over a year ago and have had Battery Percy for five or so months and have never had a problem.In fact, our two kids have left them running for hours in the corner; buried them in sand and pebbles, and covered them with playdough without apparent harm. [I draw the line at submersion.]From our point of view and experience they are well-constructed and very durable. They can be switched on or pushed manually. The batteries are not easy to replace, but I kind of like that my son (3 yo), who sometimes does some knuckleheaded things, can't get to them.Five Stars. We have two of the die-cast batter powered Steamies and have had no problems.[In fact, we haven't had a problem like those described with the super cheap--6 buck-- plastic, battery powered Thomas trains that we bought at a discount house.]
__label__1 Runs off the track -- frustrating to toddlers: At every curve or junction, this battery-powered train runs off the side of the track. For a toddler, this defies understanding and is very frustrating. Our track is standard track that this company sells, with the normal shape, but something about the way this train is designed is broken.If the electric motor is off, the wheels do not turn when pushed, so it is not fun that way, either.
__label__1 No Fun With Percy: We have four battery operated engines (Thomas, Percy, Lady, James) and Percy was the second one purchased. We had Percy for two weeks when the switch would no longer work properly. The switch turned him on every other time, then completely stopped working. So, we returned him for another. The one we currently have does not stay on the track if you use the small curved track anywhere in the setup. But, Thomas handles it fine. There is no consistency from engine to engine. It is disappointing.
__label__1 Doesn't stay on the track: The engine comes off the tracks all the time - even when it is used with track of the same brand (Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway). This is a pain. Our child is frequently asking us to help to get it back on the track.But more importantly, it is a disappointment for the child. Our 2 year old was extremely excited about this toy when he opened the present. After playing with it a short while he said "This train is bad. It's broken." That's not the memory you want your family to have on Christmas.It doesn't seem like it should be difficult to make a toy train go around a track reliably. Don't buy this toy.
__label__1 Correct train but it Doesn't stay on track: This is the correct wooden railway train; however, it doesnt' stay on the track much at all. I purchased this for my son who loves Thomas and friends and he has battery-powered Thomas and James. Percy is another likable character so I purchased this for him for easter.However Percy runs off the track frequently especially around curves. You have to be sure the tracks are flush to one another and keep it that way which is not likely with a 2.5 year old. I believe this is because Percy only has 4 wheels as compared to the other trains, like Thomas, which have 6 wheels. I believe that center non-motorized wheel on the other trains work as guidance and keep it on the track. So this is annoying to keep putting the train back on the track continuously.All of these trains burn through batteries quickly so i recommend the lithium batteries. they have a little more power and last a little big longer.
__label__2 We Love this toy: My son got the battery powered Percy as a gift and he loves it! We have not had any problems with it, he is only 2 and is very rough with it and it has held up great with no problems. Looking to buy another battery powered train to go with his set.
__label__1 Not a life time warrenty anymore!!!!!!! only 90 days.: I got a toy that was supposed to be played with from age 3 to age 5. I got it for my child when she was 3 and now she is 4.5 and the toy is broken. I wish I would have gotten another train that was not so expensive. I think a company should stand behind what they say..... Just my thoughts.
__label__1 size: Very disappointed with wrong description. THE TOY IS SMALL. Nothing wrong with toy if you are looking for a small Percy, but when i check it was saying 5". Well I was going to use that as a cake topper, end up having to buy another one and just waist time and money with time one.
__label__2 Fun for the kids: My kids love this toy, it takes quite the abuse and still works, although i can see that it is not lasting much longer, but to be fair, it takes a lot of abuse, so that tells me its durable, nothing lasts forever. Expensive, but the kids have fun with it.
__label__1 Percy Falls Off Track: As other reviewers noted, Percy won't stay on the track.Our home was attempting to operate Percy on a variety of tracks from Melissa & Doug, Brio, and Thomas n Friends. At any turn - soft, sharp, or merge - Percy wanted to jump and usually did.We sent him back for a full refund.
__label__1 Poor quality: We found the wheels were broken when we opened the package. The light was on but the train did not move after putting in the battery. We returned the product already.
__label__1 It does not stay on the track.: Battery powered Thomas is great but this one (Percy) does not stay on the tracks.The battery life is good though.
__label__1 Would not stay on the track.: We returned this train because it would not stay on the track at any corner.We had the jet engine prior to this until it was broken by improper use. We will probably get that one again. It always drove pretty well around the tracks.
__label__1 Poorly made product. died in few days: We bought this battery powered Percy for my son's 3 years old birthday. He played for few days and it died. His battery powered Thomas is still running since Christmas. Don't waste your money on Percy. Thomas seems to be better made than Percy.
__label__1 Poorly made: I bought 2 of these. The first one stopped working after about 30 minutes (seller replaced, which was nice). But, now the 2nd one broke (purple one) after only a few months. Given that these are not inexpensive and a 'name brand', I expected them to last. Alas, as with most things these days, these do not appear to be well made. I have not contacted the seller regarding the 2nd one, and I plan to seek out a more durable brand. Sorry, Thomas!
__label__1 Do not but this one: The other battery trains have a total of 6 wheels for a reason. It Helps them stay on the track after curves and such. This one only has 4 wheels. 50% of the time when it turns a curve it falls off the track. The Battery Powered Thomas does not. That left me with one answer. Its the lack of the other two wheels.
__label__1 not very powerful: We ordered this product. It was broken...the switch/button did not really work. It hardly moved, even w/ new batteries. We got another one from a different store...better but still not very powerful. It can just barely make it up the hills of the train track and it cannot pull any other train cars with it. Fun idea but just doesn't cut it.
__label__1 PERCY Falls ALOT and Breaks!!!!: My 2 year old son loves trains and his absolute favorite is PERCY!!!!! However of the battery powered trains THOMAS is the only one worth buying..... Percy has a lot of troubles navigating any turns at all on the wooden track, especially if you have any cars attached to him....And that is when he was working... Like many fellow reviewers on here, the Percy I purchased my son died after about 4 hours of my son playing with it, I replaced the battery with no luck.... Then magically 2 days later it was working again for about a week and now has been dead for about 3 weeks..... My son still plays with it because Percy is his favorite and the one nice thing is that you can use it as you would the wooden trains just pushing it around. Only recommend if Percy is your childs favorite but DO NOT Expect much..... Epic Fail on this one... :(
__label__1 Do not buy this bad quality toy!!!: I bought this for my daughter. It is such a disappointment!!!We put battery on Percy, looking forward to the action. But only the light lighted up, it won't run at all.I should have listened to some of the reviewers who said it has really bad quality.I have printed out the return slip. Percy will be on the way back to Amazon.
__label__1 Poor quality parts inside: We have a Thomas engine and it works fine. In fact, Thomas will almost always work better than Percy by design due to having six wheels instead of four -- the middle wheels are not powered, but they do help with guiding around the track.Anyway, the problem with our Percy is that soon after opening something broke inside and only the front wheels would turn instead of all four. This makes him pretty much useless for any curve or hill. Disappointing.
__label__2 Noisy but lots of fun!: Doesn't derail on well assembled track (i.e. corners are not excessively sharp or forced together because you do not have enough track to make a proper loose fit). It does keep up a fair bit of noise when running on battery power. When pushed while off (or on) it sounds like you are stripping the gears. You know that horrible noise made by a standard shift car when you do not get that clutch in all the way. It does not seem to harm Percy, just sounds horrible.
