(don't buy it) 『The picture is so blurry my daughter couldn't even watch the movie. Don't waste your money.』
(Great view!) 『Love this projector when my son sits in bed at night time sometimes he wants to watch a movie in bed I put in a movie in his TV and then put the cords in the projector to project it on the ceiling. Way Cool as my son says. 』
(EyeClops Mini Projector) 『This's portable EyeClops Mini Projector that's not heavy... so convinient for funny travel and watching anywhere. It can zoom in 42''... although screen's not too much clearly but cheap price..Anyway I give it 3 star.』
(EyeClops mini projector is a good value) 『After reading the other reviews on the EyeClops Mini Projector I didn't have high expectations. I was a bit reluctant to buy after reading the reviews regarding the clarity of the projected image.
The price Amazon was offering was too good to pass up, and my son really wanted this for christmas. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised!! The EyeClops ended up working well and I feel it projects a fairly clear image. My son loves it and plays with it often, projecting movies and video games on the walls of his ceiling and walls.
For us it was a quality toy at a good price.』 『Big Screen in the Palm of Your Hand Protect your Favorite Media!』 『Kids can project movies, video games, and more with the Eyeclops Mini Projector. Designed for ages eight and older, this portable digital projector fits in the palm of your hand and projects a screen size of up to 60 inches! All you need for big-screen excitement is a dark room and standard RCA cables to connect the Eyeclops to your favorite media player or game console. With an optional battery pack for projection on-the-go, you'll never lose sight of the big picture!

What We Think
Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor:
The Good: Mini projector makes it easy for kids to create their own home theater.
The Challenging: Low-resolution images necessitate a viewing environment that is totally dark.
In a Nutshell: Kids will love projecting movies and video games outdoors and on bedroom ceilings!
This kid-friendly projector projects movies, video games and more.
The projector is lightweight and compact, so you can even project on the ceiling.
The EyeClops expands video games to larger-than-life sizes.
If You Can Plug It In, You Can Project It The Eyeclops puts big-screen projection capability in the palm of your hand. It's easy to create your own home theater -- just connect your favorite media player or game console to the Eyeclops' audio-video inputs (connector cables not included), turn on the power, and aim the projector at a wall or ceiling. With built-in speakers and a projected screen size of up to 60 inches, your favorite movies and video games will take on a whole new look and sound!
The Eyeclops works with DVD players, video game consoles, handheld devices, and more! The projector's simple, kid-friendly features include a pivoting arm for adjusting the projection angle, a volume control, and a focal adjustment. Unlike other larger projectors, the Eyeclops doesn't get hot, so it's safe for kids to handle.
Projector Fits in the Palm of Your Hand Going on a road trip? The projector unit weighs less than a pound and measures a compact 2 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches (H x W x D), so kids can easily take it along for all kinds of adventures. The projection stand features a convenient belt clip in addition to a portable battery pack that provides approximately 270 minutes of projection time -- more than enough for an outdoor screening!
The Darker the Room, the Clearer the Image Whether you're projecting a film on the ceiling of your bedroom or a video game inside of your tent, the key to a clear image is a dark environment. Kids will find that even a little daylight makes the screen dim and blurry. For best results, the projector should be positioned within several feet of the projection surface, and all light sources should be covered.
Because the Eyeclops' on-board speakers may not provide the same quality of audio that your home speakers do, the projector features a mini-jack audio output that allows you to connect it to headphones or external speakers. Additionally, while standard RCA cables (not included) are sufficient to connect most devices to the Eyeclops, certain media players and handheld devices may require special connector cables that can be purchased separately.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (havoc heli blades) 『This STINKS!!!! It does NOT fit the Redesigned Havoc Heli. If your problem is the main rotor don't buy this! If your problem is the stabilizer,there is a way of putting it on. I will not waste my time typing all the instructions on how to put it on because... IT WILL STILL BREAK!!! x^( This review is for the blades only, the havoc heli is very fun if you have the correct blades. :)』
(Replaced Havoc Heli stabilizer ONLY) 『OK...This was my first and presently only R/C helicopter. I have to note this is my first review too. Anyway my wife bought me a havoc heli for Christmas 2009. I think she took pleasure when I broke the stabilizer (The top blade, the little one above the rotor). It seemed like a pain to replace the entire assembly. Some reviews said that it was glued on and some said it didn't work after replacing. So, I thought that I would just attempt to replace the broken part (i.e. the weakest part that is most often broken on the havoc heli). After replacing, it now fly's better than it did out of the box. It has better control now than it did brand new. If you need to replace the stabilizer, note that I did it with no experience flying, and you can do it too. Great replacement part! Now, I am looking at purchasing a 4 channel helicopter. Check out [...]』
(Replacement Rotors are not good) 『These replacement rotors are not an exact replacement for the original. They are not an easy replacement and are to heavy to get the machine off the ground once you get the rotors on. I was frustrated and spent too much time and money trying to fix this helicopter. In the end I bought my son a new one instead.』
(It works, but be Aware) 『I took a gamble after reading all the previous reviews. I purchased this for a AirHogs Havoc, and just like many of the other reviews, the rotor was loose on the rotor shaft. I touched a minisule dab of crazy glue to the end of the shaft, replaced the rotor, and waited for 30 seconds. The heli flies better than it did with the stock rotor. These rotors are more flexible than stock so they take a lick a little better. The leading edge chiped off one roter when it hit a wall after about 15 times, but the heli still flies as if nothing happens. Good product. You can't expect perfection with such an enexpensive toy.』
(Bad replacement parts) 『After receiving the replacement parts for the Havoc Heli, which is how I found the replacement parts on Amazon (I Googled "Havoc Heli replacement parts"), and replacing the old parts, my Havoc Heli still didn't work. I then called the company that makes Havoc Heli and they said the replacement parts I bought weren't authorized by them and wouldn't work. They replaced the entire helicopter at no charge. I wasted my money on the replacement parts.』 『This is a set of 2 replacement main drive rotor blade sets for the Mini Heli Infrared Indoor Helicopter, Bell Heli IR Indoor RC Helicopter, Picco Z, Havoc Heli and clones. Each heli requires 1 set. It is a good idea to keep a spare rotor on hand to let you keep flying in case yours is damaged in a crash. If you lose the little silver weights in the top stabilizer you'll need to purchase a new rotor blade. Main Rotor Blade Specifications: * Rotor Diameter: 5.2" (13.2cm) * Material: Flexible black plastic * Features: Integrated stabilizer (top hinged portion) This Main Rotor Blade Is Compatible With: * Mini IR Helis&Mini Bell IR Heli, * Spin Master Air Hogs Havoc Helis, * Silverlit Picco Z, * Clones like PiccoZ, PicooZ, etc...』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Adorable!) 『My parents bought this for our 3 month old son and it's such a sweet toy. I like that it plays classical songs and the under water bubbles sounds are neat. At bedtime (in the dark) my baby likes to grasp on to it and stare at him when he's lit up. The music is so soothing it puts my husband and I to sleep right along with him. I imagine as our little one gets older the more he'll like the seahorse. My only wish was that the music had time settings. It plays for maybe five or so minutes and shuts off. It would be great if it could go on longer. We're looking into the Dozy Dolphin by Cloud B just because of this ...those last for up to 45 minutes.』
(A hit in our house) 『The Seahorse is a hit among our boys.
The Good: 1. It's Washable!!! HUGE plus here. All you do is slide out the inner machine and then just wash the outer skin. Cannot say how much I love this feature!!!! 2. It has volume control, soft or loud 3. It is self timed. No worry of battery replacement ever other day. 4. So simple for even the youngest of kids to figure out how to restart the light and sound. Just press the soft belly. 5. Has two color options, the blue which is shown and also you can buy a pink model. 6. The light is soft... not a crazy bright light 7. The fabric cover is soft and comfy. 8. I grew up with the glow worm and I have to say, the face lighting up was kinda scary to me, a soft round belly is much more comforting!
The Bad: 1. If you leave the Seahorse in the bed it can be set off repetedly by little rolling bodies. I have since pulled our boys Seahorses out of their beds and placed them right next to the their beds when I go to bed. They learned quickly that if they did wake up in the night they could just reach down by their bed and grab their Seahorse. 2. Is a little on the small side. Perfect size for 1-2 and starts getting a tiny bit small for 3 and up.
No other bad!!!
We love the Seahorse and our kids would not go to bed without it!!!』
(Bleh) 『First of all, this toy does have a really soothing light. However, the sound is LOUD and it cuts off long before a baby enters deep sleep. The music cuts off about halfway through my son's REM cycle and it wakes him up when it stops every time. It's going to Goodwill.』
(cute product) 『We purchased this seahorse for our 11 month granddaughter. Even we're not there to see her play, we thought that it is a very fun, durable toy. She has problems sleeping and we thought the light and music would help.』
(Seahorse) 『My youngest granddaughter was not able to sleep through the night for approximately one month. I purchased the Soothe&Glow Seahorse and it worked magic! She will not sleep without it; the music is so soothing even to me! Thank you from me and her mom!!』 『Sometimes baby needs a little help falling asleep. With a gentle squeeze, this cuddly friend glows and plays soft music, lullabies and soothing sounds of the ocean. After five minutes the music fades, lights dim and baby drifts to sleep. Includes eight lullabies and power/volume control for quiet play. Requires three "AA" batteries, included.』

My 32 year old brother ended up purchasing a few of the advanced editions because they had so much fun.』
(Old fasion fun.) 『If your looking for a good challenge this toy is all about it, You'll spend alot of time trying to figure out ways of getting through the maze, I seriously have a hard time putting it down once i've started and love the layout of the maze. Anyone can do this and enjoy it.
』
(A toy that brought back memories!!) 『This toy has been a hit in our home. We got one for Christmas and I know someone has picked it up at least once every day since. I grew up playing a maze game with a great big wood box. I believe the name of that game was Labyrinth. Playing Perplexus brought back many fun memories when I was younger so I had to bring it to my family's Christmas party (we have it after Christmas). It was a hit with everybody of all ages. My siblings loved it. There was a Wii and another sphere-like game, but the Perplexus was played more frequent.
I've read critisms that the numbers are difficult to read. I believe this was the one of the fun things about it as my son (15 year old) and I would problem solve and figure it out. Bonding moments with the son!! Both him and I have completed the maze but I find myself still trying it everyday to see if I can complete it all the way through without having the ball fall. My four year old child plays with it but he has difficulty getting past the first level.
I fully recommend this toy and plan on buying more for gifts.』
(The Best Toy ever!) 『I played with this ball for an hour and a half the other night. (I am 33 years old) It is so much fun! There are 100 points where you have to maneuver the ball through to win the puzzle. So far I have made it past 52 points. Points 29-36 were the most challenging. Those points require very delicate movements and are also not labeled clearly, so it took me a while to fiqure out which way to send the ball. I can't wait to play with the puzzle again. Once it is complete, you can race yourself or others to see how quickly you can complete the puzzle. Two people have commented on the stamps on top of the ball and on the numbers which can be hard to read. I hope that these issues will be fixed in future productions. One thing that I really like is that the designers have allowed for 3 start places, so that if your ball falls off the track at point 42, you don't have to go all the way back to 1: you can start at 39 if you choose. There is a third start point at 59. I also have no trouble with the swing arm. I declare this ball a great toy and therefore an excellent value. The 9 year-old who is doing this ball as well as I loves it and is stuck at 29 (evil laugh). The package shows that there are other puzzle balls to purchase as well, so I hope that they are distributed soon because I would like to try those also. :) :) :) :) :)』
(Geat for all ages) 『I bought this for my 6 year old son however it has been enjoyed by children and parents. It is challenging enough to entertain all ages and also to maintain interest longer than most toys.』 『Perplexus The most fun you'll have with a maze! This is not the maze puzzles of the past that you knew and grew bored of. This 3d puzzle maze is the coolest maze you'll ever hope to solve! With 3 levels to solve Perplexus will have you busy turning, rotating, angling, balancing...anything to get that metal ball down the correct track!』

We are not very big on board games but this one is great and will never get old. It is also a great way to build up your vocabulary. As a child I had the older version, and I must say the quality back then was better but that is my only complaint.』
(Extra T's , watch out!) 『Build quality ok, but it came with 20 extra T's, so take them out before you play!』

(Wonderful Game!) 『This is a great mind stimulating game! Everything was packaged nice and the box it came in keeps everything in check. The only complaints I have are:
1)The board is not made all that well It is cheap and cut more than once. This is enables them to fold it like a square and fit it into a smaller box. The cuts make it hard to lay the board flat and keep pieces on the board correctly.
2)Also the wooden tiles/pieces are very light, I am not sure what type of wood they are.
Other than the above, this is a great game to play and have in the house!』 『

』 『After all these years, it's still hard to get a triple word score, the tiles are still made of wood, and there's only one "X" in the whole box. The game of Scrabble has sparked feuds and a near-cult following. All the fuss is over a spelling game that hasn't had an upgrade in 50 years. It takes a little luck and a lot of skill to make high-scoring words out of seven little letters, sometimes with an overabundance of vowels and letters that don't go together--sometimes there's Q without U. Two to four players battle it out on the board, and while some players might be proud of impressive words ("I spelled gestalt!"), skilled players know how to use the premium letter and word squares on the 225-square board to their best advantage. This crossword game has strict rules (no names, no slang) and comes with a warning label: "Choose a dictionary first to avoid any ugly word disputes."--Lynne Sampson』

(The velcro makes it hard to play with) 『This product would be better if it didn't have the velcro holding all the pieces together.

It's very well constructed, with good rubber wheels to allow it to rotate that won't scratch your tabletop. The board itself is very nice looking, with recesses for each piece that are just deep enough to keep the pieces in place, without them being so deep you have to turn the board upside down to get them back out (as my mom's edition does). The letter pieces themselves are black with bright silver letters. And the game board has two very large drawers underneath that can hold all four letter-holders, the bag of letters, the rule book, a small pad for score keeping and a pen. Overall, it's an unbeatable value!
Also, if you buy the Official Scrabble Dictionary The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary [OFFICIAL SCRABBLE PLAYERS] [Mass Market Paperback] at the same time, you might still get a discount (I did).』

Expert Tips and Fascinating History If you've never played Scrabble before, the Gameplay Guide explains the rules in a clear, easy-to-read way. It also has lots of tips to sharpen your game (a list of "q-without-u" words, for example). The sturdy plastic board needs no assembly and the storage trays cleverly built into the bottom of the board are easy to find, especially with help from the Gameplay Guide. The game also comes with a Gameplay Guide that offers many helpful hints, as well as interesting historical tidbits (For example, did you know the game used to be called "Criss Cross Words?")
A Sleek New Look for Scrabble The black-and-silver tiles, the smoky red racks, and the velvety tile pouch give this Scrabble set a touch of class. The curvature of the racks help you to see your letters more easily than you could on the old, straight racks. During gameplay, the raised grid will help keep your tiles firmly in place, even when the board spins towards another player. The pouch helps keep all the letters and racks together during play. Put them in the storage trays when you're done, fold the board back up -- and voila -- you have a carrying case that makes this deluxe Scrabble game easy to take with you.
Fun and Functional We really liked the look of this colorful board, with its cheerful blue, green, red, and orange "premium" squares. We also appreciated the way the set folds up into a carrying case, complete with the storage trays and handle. It's not advertised as a travel set, but you can use it that way. You just have to be careful to hold the set closed when transporting it, since it doesn't snap shut. Also, the storage trays can get a little full when you try to put all the letters and racks in one tray, so make sure you tuck everything neatly into the tray so it will close.
Millions of people around the world love the game of Scrabble, and we're sure they'll be just as happy as we are to see this new, improved edition with features that make it both more fun and more functional!
