"Grandson loved it." 2010-03-18
By C. Waggoner (Norfolk, VA USA)
Our grandson loves the Lego Batman WII game so for his 4th birthday we gave him the Batcopter. It looks like it was captured right out of the game he loves so much. It is quite durable, in fact more durable than I thought it would be so it will stand up to a 4 year olds use. It is just the right size for him. Though I wouldn't say it was educational he is having fun flying it all over the house.

"My 4-year old loves this!" 2010-03-18
By T's Parents (Redmond, WA United States)
This is a great toy and I think it is our favorite Imaginext Batman toy (excluding the Batcave castle)! The propeller actually spins around and the bat discs shoot really far! I also love that it has a little spot underneath to store the extra bat discs! I highly recommend this toy!

"Enjoyable" 2010-01-09

Our son enjoys using his imagination as his batman helicopter takes him on many adventures.

"War Machine" 2010-05-06
By mayra samantha casillas (RIALTO, CA, US)
After much waiting I finally recieved War Machine and I can honestly say for the cheap price I paid this toy is cool,you can go on line and they cost so much more.I couldn't wait to give it to my son,he was sooo excited the detail is really lifelike he looks like Don C.I was more happy that my son was smiling the toy was bigger than we expected and he really loved the details and the removable mask.I can't wait for my sons Iron Man toy which we are still waiting for.

"War Machine Marvel Diamond Select Figure" 2010-04-28
By eSuperBooks
This War Machine Marvel Select figure was featured at the NYC Toy Fair by Diamond this past February and was very well done. It's beauty and detail will appeal to both a collector or a kid who just wants to have a battle with his Iron Man toys. (Looks just like Don Cheadle!)

We were very excited when we received our stock and customers flocked to get their hands on these figures. These Marvel Select Toys are far better than anything you will find available at this price point and will not disappoint Iron Man fans.

"Well sculped, but lacking..." 2010-04-08
By S. F. (Irvine, CA United States)
When I first saw the prelim sculpt months ago, I was really excited about this release. It looked highly detailed, especially the facial sculpt for Don Cheadle. I just picked it up at Borders (broke down and couldn't wait for my Amazon pre-order, which kept on getting delayed), and while it does look cool, there are some serious flaws that keep it from being exceptional. First off, the head sculpt is just as cool as the previews lead you to believe. It looks amazingly lifelike, and the mask fits snugly both on top of his head to reveal his face, and over his face, so there is no real chance of accidentally losing it in either position. Overall it does look pretty cool, but after having bought the 4 inch Hasbro figure, I did find a few things lacking. First of all, the eyes are done in red, to match the movie War Machine, but the chest and hand pieces are done in blue, like Iron Man. If you are going to go with one color, stick with it all around. Either make everything red or everything blue to match. It just looks a little strange. It also would have been nice to get additional sets of hands besides the default closed fists, just for a little variety, but no big thing. The biggest complaint I have, and this is after comparing it to the 4" War Machine, is the lack of articulation in this figure. I like the rage of motion the 4" offers in the arms, and even though the ball joint in the legs isn't my favorite, it offers more range of motion than the Diamond Select figure does. With this figure, you can't move the arms away from the sides (like if you wanted to form a "T" with the figure), and it's weird how much that hampers the range of movement of the figure, and therefore the ways you can pose it. It is also lacking all of the letterings and markings of the Hasbro figure (on the deltoids and the right oblique). All in all, a good looking figure, but it does say something when I actually think a figure half its size is done a lot better.

"starscream" 2010-02-23
By I. JAVIER
Really nice. Lot's of reviews already out there so I'll concentrate on the things that stand out.

The figure has a really cool transformation, I commend the designers of the toy. How does one think of a transformation that has his legs and chest fold up like that? Really neat. The jet has a nice clean underbelly, not too much clutter. Much more streamlined than the first movie Starscream.

The robot mode's back is also nice. There is a "backpack" present, but it blends in with the whole design of the robot. Although they could have made it fold in much farther and flatter into the upper torso's back.

They could have also done a little better with how the upper arm connects with the upper torso. They could have also added a hinge on the hands so that it folds into the jet right underneath the jet's thrusters. (Like in the instruction manual) But then again, it may raise the production cost of the toy. The designers may have had to compromise on a lot of things to keep the price down, but it still is an awesome overall figure.

I'm not really a fan of gimmicks like firing missiles and stuff, cuz they could have done away with all that and made a much better looking and much more screen accurate toy. However, they have to appease the younger customers.

The "tattoos" or the warpaint on the jet is OK I guess. I think without the warpaint, the gaps on top of the jet would be too obvious, so I welcome it.

Real nice. Kudos to the designers.

"Like it very much" 2009-10-19
By Carlos Espinosa V (Bogota, Colombia)
I just want to add that pictures don't make it justice... is much nicer in real life. I thought it wouldn't be standing stable... fortunately I was mistaken. I already have Ironhide from previous movie and this Starscream is a fine addition to my collection. I decided to buy this after looking some very good pictures of this decepticon on Flickr... give it a try, you won't regret it.

"Not durable enough for my kid... parts break off easily" 2009-09-29
By N. Ott
THe parts break off easily and it was poorly made, the other one is bulkier but get it instead of this one. i do not reccomend this toy even though the jet form is cool.

"Fantastico!" 2009-08-08
By Devon
wow my first voyager, always thought they were just bigger but they have a little more going on than the deluxe class. with starscream theres more to the mechalive movement, and that oh so sweet transformation lasts a little longer, nd he is bigger, so compared to the deluxes hes more to scale. awesome cybertronian paint job, and i love that he finally has hands, theyre very menacing, his legs support him very well and the head sculpt looks great, he has missiles and gatling guns on both arms. my only complaint is pose ability limited by joint articulation in the arms and no torso movement. but thats basically how he handled in the movie, both of them. get him, hes the one you love to hate.

"great toy!" 2009-07-23

Was disappointed to find the spray bottle that came with this did not have a leaver to make it squirt, until I realized that was the first thing my 5 y/o granddaughter grabbed out of it & I imagined all the things she wanted to squirt & get wet. Yikes!!! Then I didn't mind throwing it away. Regardless, she loved the bag (just like grandma's!) and can't wait to help me garden this spring.

I bought this gift for my 3 year old niece and she loved it. Her mom loves to garden and now she has her own little set of tools in a handy tote to take to the garden and help mom with the flowers and vegetables. Her mom said that they have been having a wonderful time gardening together. My niece also like to take her tote with her to her sand box and play with the tool in the sand. Great gift for any toddler.

Amazon.com Product Description

Get outside and have a blast with the BlongoBall Game Set! This lawn game is easy to learn and has recently been popping up in campsites, tailgate parties, and backyards everywhere. BlongoBall is played by 2 players or teams, and you simply attempt to toss the BlongoBalls onto the BlonGoals. Each rung of the BlonGoal ladder is worth a different number of points. You continue play until you reach 21. But be careful! Your BlongoBalls can be knocked off the ladder by other players forcing you to lose points. The BlongoBall Set features 2 BlonGoals, 2 sets of BlongoBalls, and an easy to carry box for maximum portability. So, join the craze and see what BlongoBall is all about!
Liven up your camping trips and family reunions with this full BlongoBall set. Appropriate for use both outdoors and indoors, BlongoBall combines elements from bocce, horseshoes, croquet, and other lawn sports, but adds a unique twist: rather than throwing a ball or a shoe, you throw a BlongoBall, which is technically two small spheres connected by a thin stretch of rope. The goal is to wrap your BlongoBall around one of the horizontal bars of the BlonGoal, which stands 25 feet away (or less if kids are playing). Players score one, two, or three points with a successful throw, depending on which bar the BlongoBall grabs. And the game ends when one person or team reaches 21 points exactly. You can even add a bit of defensive strategy to the game by trying to knock your opponent's BlongoBalls off the bars.

BlongoBall is fun for kids and families, but it's also great for physical education classes, teambuilding games, or even as a rehab tool in a therapy setting. The BlongoBall set comes with two BlonGoals and two sets of BlongoBalls. Players can also purchase such accessories as extra BlongoBalls, a carrying bag, and a portable score tower.

About BlongoBall
Mike Long and his wife, Roberta, were early retirees who spent much of their time fishing, hunting, rafting, boating, and RVing. When Mike was introduced to the rudimentary concept of BlongoBall, he decided that the game merited serious development and investigation. Mike built the prototype game and used all of his friends as test subjects. BlongoBall was tested on the beaches of Lake Powell, on raft trips on the Salmon River, on the beaches of San Diego, and in parks and campgrounds form the southwest to the northwest. In every location, passersby would stop and interrupt the games to find out where they could buy BlongoBall. The enthusiastic response encouraged Mike to continue to refine the rules and goal configurations.

After months of design, research and testing, Mike applied for and received a patent for BlongoBall, which has been enthusiastically received by kids and adults of all ages since its release. Founded in 2004, BlongoBall is located in Spokane, Washington.

Technical Details

- Enhances eye/hand coordination
- Combines elements of bocce, horseshoes, croquet, and other lawn games
- Ideal for camping trips, family reunions, phys-ed classes, and even rehab clinics
- Additional accessories--such as scoring tower or extra ball sets--are sold separately
- Includes: 2 BlonGoals (Racks), and 2 Sets of BlongoBalls, Yellow and Orange. This is enough for 2 players or 2 Teams

"Fun Additions to the Sand Box" 2010-05-12
By Jennifer Clark (Frisco, TX)
I was a little hesitant to buy this product due to some of the reviews about durability. However, we've had this product for a week and so far it's been a great addition to our sand box. The toys seem very durable and a lot comes with the set. Granted, my 3 yr old is using them in a sand box as opposed to the beach so he may not be using them as hard as others. My son also loves to take water from his water table and put it in the sand table which is perfect for using the train and airplane molds. The sifter is also really fun. We hide shells and such in the table and he loves using the shovel and sifters to search. So far we are very happy with this product...it did exceed my expectations. If anything breaks in the new future I'll report back.

"not very durable" 2010-05-03
By S. A. Frisch
First of all, my daughter loves these toys; we bought them for her sand box in our back yard. Unfortunately, the shovel broke in half (handle's plastic snapped at base of shovel) after less than 2 months of use. The handle just snapped off. (My daughter just turned two when this happened so I'm assuming she didn't do it!) The sifter has little notches on the side so you can set it on top of the bucket. My daughter loves to pour sand through the sifter and into the bucket to see what size pebbles stay on top. That is probably the most "educational" this toy gets (which is why I gave this 2 stars for the educational value--but this isn't an educational toy, so I don't think that's a bad thing). And my daughter LOVES the watering can. She uses it literally every day to water our hibiscus.

Pros: fun colors, lots of different toys in one set
Cons: shovel broke soon after purchase

"My son likes it..." 2010-03-26

My son loves his new beach toys.Arrived on time in great condition as always. Thank you amazon.
However, we saw this same toy today at target priced 9.99+tax so if a trip to target is not so much of a trouble for you try your local target store.

"Many items for price" 2010-03-22
By SDMom (San Diego, CA)
This kit contained many brightly colored items- all the basic beach toys, plus a couple of fun molds (train and plane). We haven't taken the toys to the beach yet (but we have played with them in the bath). I was a little disappointed in the quality of the plastic- I was hoping the plastic would be a little thicker, and less brittle-feeling. The carrying-case is nice, but I realized a net-like bag would be better, so all the sand can shake off and the toys can dry out. I can imagine the plastic bag will get full of sand and dirty water after the first use. So, I'll probably find a different bag to carry them in. Overall though, I think the price is quite reasonable for what you get. This will get us started for beach play- and if I can buy more toys later if necessary.

"Mask not the same as War Machine." 2010-05-09
By A. Davis
This is a well made figure, as are all of the Marvel Select line, but watch out. The War Machine figure's mask goes on and comes off, but this one does not. You either get the mask on, or the mask slid up to reveal the face. I got the mask up because I thought it slid down, but it doesn't. If that is a deal breaker, now you know.

Standing around 7â tall, Kratos in Golden Fleece Armor is equipped with the Swords of Chaos, and features an alternate right arm with Golden Fleece armor as well as an alternate right hand carrying MedusaâTMs head. He looks like one of the cooler action figures to float down the river in a while. Both weapons and armor look intricately detailed, and Kratos himself appears to be pretty well articulated. Kratos reigned supreme until his army was finally outmatched and overwhelmed. At the precipice of death, Kratos forged a pact with Ares, the latter of whom annihilated KratosâTM enemies in returned for KratosâTM contained obedience. Kratos evolved into a more bloodthirsty, indomitable warrior, although after Ares maneuvered Kratos into the killing of his own wife and daughter, Kratos rebelled and became aimless. Eventually the rest of the Gods recruited Kratos and reinforced him in an endeavor to defeat Ares.

- Kratos in Golden Fleece Armor
- Includes Medusa Head and Sword

"Brutal" 2010-05-13
By Matthew Rea (Columbia, PA USA)
I am a HUGE God of War fan, its my favorite game series of all time, so its fitting that this figure is my favorite in my collection! The detail is incredible, especially on his armor and the Medusa's head. The armor on his legs even have blood splatters across it, which really add to the brutality of the figure. And the head...holy $#@%! Not only can you see inside her mouth, but the details on the gore are almost sickening! Bloodied bone and tendons dangle, and i swear i've seen blood drip! Seriously it looks that real, blood is even running out of her nose! i won't look it in the eye, lest i be turned to stone! Overall, i am extremely pleased with this product, especially since amazon finally got a new shipment in, drastically lowering the price! Buy it now! You won't regret it!!

"Long Live Kratos!!!" 2010-05-11
By N. Nevins
Well as an avid fan of anything God of War this purchase was a no brainer. I love the God of War games, and wanted to add a Kratos figure to my video game action figure collection. But in all honesty some of the prices that people are selling Kratos for is ridiculous. For example for this figure the price ranges from [...] for the exact same thing. I mean would someone actually pay 150 for something that can get for 17? Anyway thats off the point. I love this figure. Hes the tallest in my collection, and is close to as intimidating as the Big Daddy, but who would you most want to run into in a dark alley (Neither?). Very well detailed, and well made. His hands are removeable so one of them can hold the severed medusa head if you like. The pictures show only one sword, but it comes with both blades of chaos. Awesome addition to any collection. Fully recommend. PS: New game coming on PSP for God of War (Ghost of Sparta), cant wait!!

"Great buy for any God of War fan!" 2010-05-07
By K. Bodine
I can sum up this action figure in one word; awesome. But if I would leave this review just at that, I wouldn't be doing Kratos justice. The detail in the figure lives up to the epic battles Kratos has endured over the many years. And even though the blades of chaos are in "mini" form don't be fooled, they still seem ever-so-deadly. And Medusa's decapitated head, just goes to show you that you don't get in the way of even a toy replica of the God of War. I would highly recommend this collectible to ALL God of War fans!

"Must have for any God of war fan" 2009-06-04
By K. BAGARIA
This is a must have for any God of war fan, rather Kratos fan. the anger on his face on the toy is awesome.
The hands detach and reattach also they are flexible too which was cool as the blades can then move in any direction
really wished if they had enclosure on his back to put his blades of chaos. lol

"Very novel and pretty fun" 2010-05-08
By Travis Illig (Portland, OR United States)
I'll admit that I bought this for myself and not a kid, but it's a pretty nifty thing.

When you press the center of it, it lights up amber (think "yellow traffic light" color) and makes cool energy "power up" noises. I think there are three different noises.

The way it sticks to your shirt is that there's a plate that snaps off the back - you see it as a little red "ring" around the bottom in the product picture. You put the plate inside your shirt and the arc light snaps into it from the front of your shirt. It works really well with t-shirt weight material, but it might be tight with a sweatshirt, and you definitely wouldn't be able to get it on a sweater. There aren't any magnets the way I read on other web sites - it's just that snap-in plate.

I can see if you were wearing a looser shirt and jumping around then the momentum of it might work the light enough that it would pop off, but I've moved it around pretty hard to see how well it attaches and it's pretty well attached.

I have to give it novelty points because you can attach it to your own shirt and that mechanism works well. Usually with these things they're attached to some sort of one-size-fits-all thing that doesn't fit anyone - child or adult. With this, you can use it with any Halloween costume or whatever you want. Really cool.

I'd give it a full five stars if the light was white or whitish-blue the way it was in the movie, or if it was just a little bit thinner - it's about an inch deep and sticks out slightly more than I feel it should. Otherwise I dig it.

"They made the lights yellow :(" 2010-05-03
By Chris Matthes
Sticks to shirts ok. My nephew ran around with it on for quite a while without it falling off. I was very upset that they made the lights yellow instead of white. Even the promo shots (on other Iron man toys) shows it as white. Although I knew it was yellow because I tested it before purchase. But still :(

"Great item." 2010-03-03
By Tara Cunningham (Baton Rouge, LA)
This is a great drum set, but we purchased it for my son for Christmas when he was three years old. I think since it's such a nice set, and we didn't monitor him as closely as we should have, it may have been purchased too soon. He'll be five this year, and it probably would have been a much better gift this Christmas.

"OUTSTANING!" 2010-02-16
By John A. Ford (Waldorf, MD USA)
I will give outstanding marks for all from the time I ordered the set all the way to the time it arrived in my city. However, the marks were not outstanding from the distribution point in the city to my house. I had to track it down and then found out it was delivered to another house and left on their porch. The worst part about it is they knew it was the wrong address. Go figure. But aside from that the product, order, shipping was all outstanding. My son absolutely love them. Thanks
John

"Excellent piece of equipment" 2009-07-13

Bought this for my 4yr old and he loves it. It sounds good, its well made and its pretty much a full drum set as a 4 yr old may need.

"Great Drum Set" 2008-12-27
By Sherri E. Heiman (Oxford, OH USA)
This is a great drum set. Purchased it for my 7 year old for Christmas. Very durable as it has held up beautifully after hours of pounding. Would highly recommend.

"Excellent overall quality, one minor complaint" 2008-12-26
By R. Santia (Burbank, CA)
When my oldest son was 5 (14 years ago) I purchased a drum set for him from a music store. I paid about $100 back then and it fell apart within a week. I was very disappointed with the quality and sound of that kit. Now that I wanted to buy a set for my 4 year old, I was very careful in selecting a "real" drum set that he can enjoy for years and grow into. The GP50 is definitely it!
This is the real deal and not a toy. Sound is excellent and the build quality is great. At under $150, this set is a bargain. Some have mentioned it is time consuming to build, but I found it rather easy and had it together in no time.
My only complaint is the bass pedal squeak. It was so bad it, it was almost louder than the drums. I had to add a washer between where the bolt and the bracket meet and do a little tweaking by loosening and tightening the nuts until the squeak stopped. The pedal was already pre assembled, but I feel they should have added a bushing to prevent the squeak.
I am still very happy with this set (and so is my 4 year old). Perhaps the pedal problem was just with the one I received. It may or may not always be a problem, but it is easy to fix.

"Great Buy! Lot's of Fun!" 2010-02-01

"Very Cool toy Guitar for ~25$ @ToyRus" 2010-01-07
By New User
Folks if your kid is looking for a toy electric guitar that sounds like a guitar then check this toy out.
Pros:
1. No moving parts to break (strings fret keys etc.) So it can withstand a fair amount of your kids abuse.
2. Is a stand alone guitar toy and doesn't require a TV/Game to play with.
3. Frets are touch sensitive and light up as you touch them.
4. Strumming is optical and there is visual indication as you do it.
5. Has internal motion sensors so you can "shake" the guitar to make "waa waa" effects.
6. Volume control goes to "11" for you Spinal Tap fans out there.

For 25$ you can't go wrong.

Cons:
1. no real strings or frets like the Fisher Price toy guitar. But that product had some issues as seen in the reviews.

"Fun toy" 2009-12-31
By J. Nymann (Minnesota)
The little girl I purchased this for loves it. She has lots of fun playing it on her own and using the songs that came with it. So far, no troubles with the product.

"Awesome guitar for my 3-year-old!" 2009-11-26
By Anthony Spears (Chicago, IL)
Ok, so I got this guitar for my son for Christmas, but just to make sure it was ok, I decided to give it a trial run before Christmas. Make sure it was safe, y'know?

I opened the package, popped in 4 AA batteries, turned the volume up to 11 (most guitars go up to 10, but they made this one go one LOUDER). I set another knob to jam, and I was playing "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols in no time. The sound was not quite indistinguishable from a real guitar, but a lot better than I expected. Almost anything you might want to do with a guitar, you can do with the Power Tour; hammer-on and pull offs, muted strumming, whammy effects, etc. It plays a power chord when you strum with a finger on the fret board, and a single note when you hammer on and pull off without strumming. You can't play or experiment with chords, but if you want to get that complicated, go with a real guitar.

Anyhow, I thought this guitar was too cool, and instead of waiting for Christmas, he got his guitar as a Thanksgiving present, and so far this has been the best $55 I've spent on any toy for my son. My entire family saw him rock out on Thanksgiving and they all thought it was the COOLEST toy.

"Love this guitar!!!" 2009-10-10
By cincy mom (Cincinnati, OH)
We bought this guitar for our three-year-old's birthday. My son is now four, and my husband and I both agree that it is one of the best purchases we ever made for him. I was originally worried about buying it, as it is recommended for much older kids, but he took to it immediately. He loves to rock out with the preset songs (in the "band" function)--too cute to see a 3yo jamming to "Ace of Spades." There's also a jam function where you can make up your own songs, and a learn function, where it teaches you parts of the songs (follow the lights), and then you repeat each part. My son does not like the "learn" function because if you make three mistakes, the guitar "boo"s at you.

The guitar is very sturdy, and we've decorated it with our "guitar hero" stickers to make it look even more rock & roll. I also love that when you hold the guitar upright and jiggle it, it makes a wah-wah sound.

Since buying this guitar for my son, I've given it as gifts to several of his little friends, and other friends of mine have seen it and bought it for their kids and friends. I also seriously considered buying another one for my husband after about the third time I watched my child ask for his guitar back. :) If your child needs a guitar, you can't go wrong with this one. They also sell an amp to go with this, and I considered buying it at first, but I'm glad I didn't for two reasons. First, this guitar is plenty loud, and my son doesn't like to turn it down. Second, my son likes to walk around the house while he rocks, and he would never stay in one place long enough to tie himself to the amp. Some packages also include a guitar case, too, but we would never use it.

"If you like static..." 2010-04-04
By Jason Fossen (Dallas, Tx)
These walkie talkies are junk. Filled with static, bad reception even at short range, the packaging was very difficult to cut into (even using utility scissors) and inserting a battery required a tiny screwdriver. My kiddo played with them for about 10 minutes and promptly lost interest. Waste of money.

"Great gift" 2010-02-06
By Trudie Levins (voorhees, nj)
These walkie talkies were a gift for my 4 year old grandson. He loves them and uses them to communicate with his parents through out his house....They also are durable and can withstand any fall.

product durability is good. Listening to someone speak is not that clear, sometimes almost complete static. also i can pick up local truck drivers

"Horrible" 2010-01-01
By A. Lewis (Orlando, FL)
Very disappointed!! Tough is only good if the product works. They have horrible reception even at a few feet. You can only hear a whisper when someone is shouting into it, and by then you are in talking range anyway. The only clear reception we've gotten was from adults on push to talk phones. Don't waste your money.

Editorial Review

3 years & up. No cups, no brushes, just twist off the top and design with dots! The rainbow set includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Set of 6 bottles, 2 1/2 oz. each.
Parents like to encourage children in creative art activities, but sometimes painting projects can be a little overwhelming. (The bottles, the brushes, the inevitable spills, etc.) This handy-dandy art set provides six bright paint colors in sponge-tip bottles that serve as the paint applicators. Best of all, these paints are spill-proof with no mess at all. Each 5-inch bottle contains 2.5 ounces of paint in purple, green, red, yellow, blue, or orange. The sponge tip creates a neat dot of paint about .5 inches wide, and the paint dries quickly so colors can be layered. There's a wide range of creative possibilities here, including creating borders for school projects and using the paint markers for patterning activities that reinforce math concepts. An art idea sheet is also included with the set. --Marcie Bovetz

- Easy to Use - Hours of Fun!

"My 2-year old son loves these" 2010-02-18
By RSRCHB4UBY (CA USA)
We purchased two sets of Do-a-Dot markers: one regular colors and one brilliant colors. My 2-year old son loves coloring with them and uses them easily and surprisingly accurately. Markers say "washable" on the box, and the dye is easily removed from the hands by washing with warm water and soap - my son has no trace of the dye after his evening bath. However, I would recommend adult supervision to keep markers' dye off the upholstery, curtains, and clothes.

"Dot Paint Review" 2009-11-21
By Brooke Loucks (Pasadena, CA USA)
I love the dot paints. The kids love to use them to color pictures with! They add lots of joy and laughter to the classroom!

"Great for my little artist!" 2008-06-22
By Melonjar (Ohio)
My 4 year old first used Do-A-Dot with a cousin on a vacation. When we were stuck inside due to weather, these dot markers were great! The markers kept them busy up to an hour at a time. Just hand any child 3-? some Do-A-Dot and a big pack of white paper and they'll go crazy making pictures. They also used regular markers in some of their art with the dots. Fantastic!

As far as washable...well. My daughter did get a big red dot on the front of a very lightly patterned dress. I went to wash it immediately and it took some long scrubbing, but DID come out. I think it was due to applying detergent directly to the dot, rubbing it in with my finger and allowing to soak for a while, then rubbing and rinsing, then a final wash.

Great fun!

"Horrible pink stains!" 2007-07-12
By Book Mamma (Vancouver, WA)
These markers DO STAIN, especially the Magenta. My daughter is currently covered from elbows to fingertips and nothing will get it off. I was able to scrub it off my kitchen table with a lysol wipe. I don't have much hope for her shirt, though, and I wonder how long her arms will be stained pink. I don't recommend these for any age. Ink comes out really fast and keeps coming, making pools of staining liquid. Ugh.

"Cleanest painting supplies for little hands and keeps them busy!" 2007-07-08
By L. Forcey
These paints keep my almost 3-year-old son sitting in one place for up to an hour at a time, which pretty much nothing else will do. We bought the truck image book and we download pictures of his favorite characters, and then we make copies onto white cardstock and he has an unlimited supply of stuff to paint. We have never had any trouble getting any of the rainbow colors off of any piece of clothing or his skin or even the table that he paints on. Obviously, since they are paints you need to put a smock on your child and cover the table as well, but they are far less messy than usual paints. The tips to tend to rip a little if the paints are pulled across the paper instead of dotted. However, I contacted the company after one ripped and in an act of AMAZING customer service, they sent me replacement tips. Also, with all the fears about products made in China in the news lately, these are made in the USA. All of these qualities will keep us coming back.

Chinese calligraphy, the almost magical art of writing and painting with water, has a long tradition. The special surface of the Buddha Board enables one to draw with pure water. These works of art however, are not meant to last forever, as the water continually evaporates. Painting on the Buddha Board is almost a meditative preoccupation, adding something new to the drawing as soon as a part fades away. 3 pieces Dimensions (cm) 30 x 24

Technical Details

- Like a Zen Etch-a-Sketch, simply paint with water (brush included)
- As the water evaporates, the image fades, generating new perspectives on creative endeavors
- Encourages the Zen idea of living in the moment
- Perfect for entertaining the child in all of us
- Environmentally friendly and lasts for years with proper care

"Must have" 2010-04-23
By J. laabs (Orlando,Fl)
I bought one of these for my Grandson to keep "Him" busy during my wedding reception dinner. What a hit!!! My guests played with it more then my Grandson! Loved it. I also bought one for my sister in law because she enjoyed it so much. Great for young and old alike. Read directions carefully. You MUST not let water collect on the bottom of the board. It does not drip off and causes damage to the board.

"Great for all Ages and Artistic ability" 2010-04-16
By Jag Sur (So Cal)
This is such a great item. I would not call it a toy, because it is way more than that. Adults as well as kids have loved using it at our home. It's relaxing and great to develop fine motor skills. Just keep it dry on the bottom like the directions advise. Our brush was a bit less than okay when we got it, but I have other brushes. Also, I only put it an tablespoon of water in the holder to keep young kids from spilling or using too much water as they paint. LOVE IT!!!

"Very relaxing" 2010-03-06
By Bean (New Haven, CT)
I bought this Buddha Board as a Christmas gift for my fiance and I enjoy it so much, I almost feel like I got it for myself! Painting a design and then watching it fade away is so calming. I always keep my camera close by in case I actually draw something I want to remember, but that rarely happens because I pretty much suck at artistic stuff. The water doesn't dry up as quickly when the board itself is cold, so I'm looking forward to summer when we can take the board to a park we frequent and watch it dry much faster. I love that the water dish has two little notches in it so you can easily prop the board up while you're painting. My fiance's only complaint is that the brush the board comes with it a bit thick and rough, but a quick trip to anywhere that sells paint brushes will fix that.

"so much fun" 2010-01-31
By h.s. (maryland)
this was great. my friend had one and her little 2 year old was playing with it and i thought it was a great idea for my little one. i know they have one for kids made by crayola but i liked playing with it too. its fun for the whole family. you paint, it drys and then you start all over.

"GREAT!" 2010-04-10
By M. Filiault (MA)
Great overall lego minifigure, arms are a little stiff, but it doesn't really bother me.
Don't even get me started on the shipping, it came SO FAST! In about two days it got mailed to me!
I didn't expect it until around the 15th-20th of April and it came on April 10th.
And, at the same time I had a $5 Amazon gift card, so that took care of the shipping. I only paid $5 for it in cash!
For the Pros and Cons:

Pros:
Cape
Lightsaber
Cool Hair

Cons:
Stiff Arms
Lightsaber slips out of Count Dooku's hand kind of easy.

Thanks, hope this helps.

"network connection no problem" 2010-05-11
By nickname (my world)
If you're tired of having cables and tired of having to place your XBOX somewhere near your modem, get this product! Easy setup. I get 4 bars no problem. I just plugged it in and my XBOX pick it right up, searched for my connection put in my my pw and I was up and running within 1 minute. If you have never been on XBOX live, you'll need to download the firmware with the CD that came with this in order for the product to work. You'll not regret making an investment in this product if you love to play games and place your XBOX anywhere you want around your house. Get it on amazon while its cheap. It retails around the nation for $100! Highly recommended. No lag with this. And it'll attach right onto your XBOX.

"Plug 'n' Play At It's Best" 2010-05-10
By T. Robison (seattle, WA United States)
I bought the 'Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter A/B/G & N Networks' to connect with the wireless network in our home. Although the adapter came with a dvd install disk, there was nothing to install. In fact, the Xbox 360 could not read the disk, at all.

After plugging the adapter into the rear of the Xbox 360, I connected to our home network which uses the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. Connection was established after selecting the network and entering the password. It has been working perfectly ever since!

I had the opportunity to try the original 802.11g wireless adapter and the difference is huge.

NOTE: Remember to use WPA2 security in order to get N speeds.

"A network solution worth $100?" 2010-05-06
By M. R. Lopez
The Xbox360 wireless N adapter works just as advertised. Every game I've tried online has worked well with no slowdown/lag. Before buying, ask yourself if the convienience of wireless networking is worth $100 to you. It might be time to save some cash and just purchase a super long ethernet cord. But if you've got the duckets to throw around for this attachment I'd highly recommend it just so long as you actually had a N-Router. I would have given this product 5 stars if it was just a bit easier on the wallet.

This toy was a big hit with my nephew. We looked for it eveywhere in town. Amazon was the only pace to find it.

"DO NOT PAY THIS PRICE!!" 2010-05-02
By J. Glen (Darien, Ct. United States)
This is a cute little toy for kids who loved the movie. However, I can not believe the prices I am seeing for this 4 inch toy. At Wal-Mart we bought them for $5.00 and I am apalled that they are being sold for almost three times that here!! A couple dollars more - o.k. but 2 and 3x the Wal-Mart price -definitley not worth it!!

My grandson loved the movie and loves this toy. I am sorry that I couldn't find it at Wal-Mart though because it was three times the price from this seller, $15 as opposed to $5 at Wal-Mart.

This graceful, fierce, and intelligent member of the Omaticaya clan is rightfully wary of humans. Yet Neytiri has become an unlikely ambassador to the Earthly colonists on Pandora. Bearing a striking resemblance to the clan leader in waiting in James Cameron's Avatar movie, this beautiful Neytiri Action Figure comes to you in 3 3/4-inch scale. She's a must for any Avatar collection! Ages 6 and up. Clan Position: Daughter of Omaticaya clan leaders Eytukan and Mo'at. Clan leader in waiting. Skills: Mastery of most Na'vi weapons, including various bows, spears, bolas, and knives. Banshee and direhorse rider. Hunter. Proficient in English. Avatar: On a deadly but mineral-rich distant moon called Pandora, ex-Marine Jake Sully is torn between duty and honor when he finds himself caught between the heavily armed forces of Earth's most powerful star-faring consortium and an exotic, noble alien race whose very existence is threatened by the human invaders.

"Too small." 2010-03-10
By Steven Bush
The Jake Sully was the right size.I wish Neytiri was bigger.She is way too small.It should be the same size as Jake.

"Did I get a reject or what?" 2010-02-20
By Alexandra E. Thomas
I adore these little Na'vi action figures and own a bunch of them, but Neytiri is unfortunately my least favorite. Either I received a deformed unit, or Mattel decided to put all of their efforts into the other figures and put Neytiri together as an afterthought.

Her arms are bizarrely bulbous, as is her head. In fact, the piece that forms her hair doesn't properly match up with her face. One of her feet is twisted inward, which makes it nigh impossible to stand her up, and though she has a neck joint, you can't turn her head because her hair and feather necklace get in the way. Her bow and arrow are the flimsiest of all the Na'vi figures' weapons.

And finally: she looks nothing like Neytiri. She looks vaguely female and vaguely disgruntled, but that's about it.

If you have to have Neytiri for your collection, get this. But if you're just hoping for one nice little action figure, I'd suggest checking out Jake, Norm, Tsu'Tey, or pretty much anyone else.

"Excellent Avatar 3 D Neytiri Action Figure" 2010-02-20
By P. J. Whitfield (lake zurich, illinois USA)
Excellent job by Mattel in recreating the Neytiri character from the Avatar Movie. While she is very hard to find, she is well worth the search. The highly articulated action figure is a great addition to the Avatar collection. Her movements in the movie where closely assimilated into the movement of the action figure. The 3 D web cam itag makes this a fun item for the Adults and kids in our family. We had never purchased this type of item before and did not know if the quality of the recreated scenes would match the world of Pandora from the movie. IT DOES MATCH THAT WORLD and we are very happy that we bought it!

"One Significant Detail Is Wrong" 2010-02-09
By The Dread Pirate Roberts (San Jose, CA)
Maybe only an archer would notice this, but the left hand is articulated to draw the bowcord with the palm in, as human archers do - but the Na'vi all drew their bows with the palm out.

My son loves this toy, but it advertised that it was glow in the dark, and it isn't. Apparently those are coming out later but the packaging didn't bother to explain that.

"My grandson loves this!" 2010-05-10
By M. Pitts (SAN ANTONIO, Texas United States)
My grandson age 4 thinks this is the greatest thing. He never takes it off and will absolutely be overjoyed to get the helmet. A best buy for sure.

"Best Toy!" 2010-05-01
By Beth A. Blasius (Denver, CO USA)
My Son loves his repulsor blaster. It is sturdy and fun. He wears is all day every day since Easter. Not at school he is 7 and he loves it and wants another one for his other arm.

"Man, are these things cool." 2010-04-06
By James Donnelly (Arizona)
As an adult fanboy, every once in a while, you just have the urge to dress up like your hero and have some fun with it. After the purchase of the first one, I actually had to get another one for my other arm. Admittedly, I don't have he-man forearms, so I could strap these on with little difficulty. The gloves... very much for children. But once you get those batteries installed and you raise that hand at the wrist, triggering the light and sound effects of the repulsor fire, you will be at one with Tony Stark.

Great stuff.

"Beautiful set" 2010-02-18
By R. Popper-Keizer
We have been shopping for a beginner magic set for my son for about six months now, and had trouble finding one that didn't look like a bunch of cheap plastic and paper tricks that wouldn't last a week in our house. Some kits claimed to have 50-100 tricks, but really they were the secrets to the tricks and no real props. We also weren't interested in paying $40 for a DVD and a few dimestore props.

At Christmastime, I gave up. There were some nice kits for older kids/adults, but for beginners it was dismal. Come February (birthday month) I looked again, and gave up. Luckily as I was leaving the last store I planned to visit (at closing time the night before his birthday), I saw the Melissa & Doug set off in a corner.

The box was beautiful! It reminds me of the old Victorian parlor magicians. And I can't say enough about how great it is to be able to buy wooden toys that are durable and will last. And all of the pieces are painted nicely with Egyptian themes and exotica, adding to the 'atmosphere' of the show. Bonus to the fact that my son had just been to the Tomb and was interested in Pharaoh's and hieroglyphs!

I think it's perfect. My 8 year old son loves it and was able to do all of the tricks right after I demonstrated them to him. He did them for the adults, and with the exception of two of the simpler tricks, they were quite impressed and they couldn't figure out how it was done. The two best tricks even caused some actual jaw-dropping! He was overjoyed to be able to see grown-ups astounded, and thought it was hilarious that they couldn't figure out how he did it!

I would suggest the company add a good strong clasp of some sort to hold the box closed when not in use, but that is all I would do to improve on it.

I also loved the format of the instructions, with the aged, burned parchment effect of the paper, and the fact that every trick/prop was illustrated on the bottom of the package so you knew exactly what you were getting, plus you could see most things the way it was packaged.

Another work of art from M&D.

"Great for novice magicians" 2010-02-12
By Heron (WINTER HAVEN, FL, US)
My son is really too young for the tricks, however it is quite charming to watch him learn the magic. It is good for his attention span, dexterity, and confidence. We have had a lot of fun with the Melissa & Doug magic set so far!

"He liked it!" 2010-02-03
By J. Marudas (St. Paul, MN.)
This magic kit was purchased for my 8-year old Grandson's birthday. Since has just about everything, including all of the electronic gadgets..it's pretty hard to find him a gift that would be different. He has a very good imagination so I thought it would be fun to give him a magic set. When I went on Amazon, this particular set was highly rated, so I went with that.

My Grandson thought it was really cool. Together we learned two tricks to present to his mom and dad when they came home from shopping. It was different and he really like it! The quality of the set was very good considering the price.

"Love it!" 2010-01-08
By K. Lutz
I bought this for my 5 year old son. He has a great aptitude for figuring things out and catches on really fast. I was still hesitant that this might be too advanced for him, but when he got it Christmas morning it didn't take him long to figure out the tricks. I am really pleased with this set. It is definitely a TOY set. If you are looking close enough you can see how the tricks work. My son doesn't mind and he has a lot of fun showing it off to all of his aunts and uncles. I would reccomend this product to parents purchasing this set for a child who just wants to have fun.

"Great magic set" 2010-01-04
By Z. Zraly (Vancouver, Canada)
My kids played for hours with this magic set. It is durable and most tricks can be performed by my 5 years old daughter. Some tricks are very impressive.

Editorial Review

2 years & up. Pretend shopping is learning through role-play. This durable shopping cart will hold a basket full of play food and other important items that make up the shopping list. Special wheels won't scuff the floors and can be used inside and out. Shopping cart measures 9.4"W x 15.9"D x 22.4"H.
Shopping for groceries with Mommy will seem more real than ever with this pintsize poultry and produce carrier. Though only about 2 feet high, the red-and-yellow cart is designed to resemble a grownup's cart. It even includes a fold-up space with leg holes near the cart's handle--Mommy usually sits baby there in a real cart--where tots can place a tiny doll. Bright blue plastic wheels add contrast and additional color to this cart, which will last as long as your child's toddler years. --Diane Beall

Technical Details

- Sturdy walls keep small items in
- Deep basket
- A favorite toy can ride in the fold-down seat
- Storage underneath basket provide plenty of space for a child's favorite things

"Sturdy and does not tip over!" 2010-05-05
By Jen L. (Eastern USA)
My 4 year old loves this toy. I actually bought it as a push toy for my 10 month old as he's been cruising for a few months but it is too tall for him. It'll be an awesome toy for him to grow into!

"Good Old-Fashioned Fun!" 2010-04-08
By D. Sylvester (U.S.A.)
My grandson LOVES this toy. He zooms around the house with his cart loaded with his little treasures. I love the simple yet durable construction. It's just a good, old-fashioned toy - no batteries, no electronics...hose it down when it gets dirty. It will remain a favorite at gramma and grampa's house for a long time!

"Little tykes grocery cart" 2010-03-13
By N. Larson (Brownsville, Wi. United States)
My 2 yr. old grandson will push ANYTHING around the house.....trucks, stroller, cars, chairs! We decided the grocery cart would be durable but plastic, so not to damage things that might get in the way. He loves it, and circles the house unobstructedly. It was a hit at his party.
Thanks!

"This is THE shopping cart for your little one" 2010-01-20
By Heather Alberti (Normal, Illinois)
I have four kids, we had this cart with my twins when they were little, eventually got rid of it when we thought we were done having kids. Now that we have a 15 month old, we had to buy another one! Even though eight years went by, there is still not a better cart out there than this one! Very sturdy, easy assembly, easy to push around. Just be sure early walkers don't push it backwards (holding the basket side) because it has a tendency to flip suddenly. But perfectly easy to use when pushed from handle. This is a staple toy in our household.

"Great shopping cart!" 2010-01-09
By Liz (Cedar Park, TX)
Great little shopping cart and my 16 month old granddaughter loves it...when she can get is away from her 2 1/2 year old cousin that is! :-) I can see it's going to get a lot of use and I'm really glad I purchased it for Christmas...

"NVG's" 2010-02-14
By Walter G. Goodman (Swanton, VT USA)
Unfortunately, there were two brands of Night Vision Goggles given to the same grandchild. This one that we gave happened to be the less expensive model with fewer features. These NVG's performed as advertised but the user preferred the other model.

"Great toy!" 2010-02-12
By PA Mom (New Oxford, PA)
I bought this for my 5 year old son for Christmas and he loves it! I can't wait until summer time so he can use it outside in the dark. The only problem he has is, with his head being so small, the strap keeps falling down regardless of how tight we make it. Besides using this for fun, we realized just how practical it is during a recent evening power outage. He loved that he could still play in the dark and find his way throughout the house. The lights are very bright so make sure you don't look directly at them. Great item for the price!

"Goggles" 2010-02-02
By Ronald S. Tucker
This was listed as night vision goggles. When we got these we realized that these were just goggles with lights on the side. This kind of ruins the point of night vision if you have to turn on the light. This was returned and I would not recommend this product. I think this is the one item that wasn't properly described.

"Great quality" 2010-01-30
By Susan P (San Francisco)
Purchased for my nephew. He has a great collection of these trains and they are great quality and very durable.

"Nice expansion pack for your Thomas Trains" 2009-12-30
By George C. Fiedler
This is an excellent way to get a lot of Thomas the Tank Engine characters in one go, including Toby and Bertie among others. Like all the wooden Learning Curve toys, you get decent physical construction and compatibility with their wooden track system. The weak point is that the paints on most of the vehicles isn't particularly durable and will flake or wear off after a year or two. But my girls like them a lot and play with them most every day along with the other trains.

"Lots of fun for everyone!" 2009-12-30
By Jman (RI)
My son is going to be 4 years old and he has just started to watch Thomas & Friends. This was a great starter pack for him. Instead of buying the expensive Thomas wooden train tracks, we got a cheaper set from Ikea - which work fine - for a fraction of the price. The only thing was, I thought all of these trains came with collectors cards as pictured but they don't. I inquired with Amazon about this and they sent me a new gift pack right away. That order didn't come with cards either. I also purchased seperate Thomas trains - no cards. I'm not sure where they are supposed to come from. My son would love them. They tell a little story about each train.

"My son loves these trains!" 2009-04-11
By MDmommy (Columbia, MD)
I purchased this wooden train set for my son because the price was a bargain. The Thomas & Friends wooden trains usually cost an average of $12.00 per train. I just had to get these because my son loves playing with his Thomas trains. He gets great use out of these trains. Not only are these great toys to play around the house, but they are also great for long airplane flights, long car rides, and eating out. All I have to do is whip out these trains and he is a happy camper!

Great buy!
