(Othello)    
(An Oldie But Still a Goodie!)    
(Even My five year old can play)    
(Educational)     The product arrived in excellent condition. Othello is a great 2-person game with endless play possibilities. It teaches strategy&how to plan in advance. Othello is fun for all ages. More challenging than checkers but not as complicated as chess. An oldie but a goodie! I always loved Othello and have a version from the 80's. I was psyched when my 11 year old niece asked for it for her birthday. It was hard to find it at the toy store but easy on Amazon. The Othello board now has little indented box areas to put your discs so they can't slide onto another box. This is a nice addition. What I didn't like was they took away the little clear covers that covered your discs when you wanted to put the game away, now the discs could fal all over inside the box. Othello is still a great game and this version is good. I bought this game to play on New Years Eve, rather than just watching T.V. . Didn't think we'd all enjoy this game so much but we do. I was also pleasantly surprised when my five year old and I can play this together. I like that because he knows this is an "older kids" game that he can play too. I am a teacher and highly recommend this game. It requires higher level thinking and predicting. I have actually seen children as young as Kindergarten play this game. Adults would love it too! "Othello is a game where not all is Black and White. The lead can change hands from play to play and strategy is everything. Play is simple. Players are represented by either Black or White discs on the board. On each turn, players flank the discs of the opposing player between two of their own. Once captured, the double-sided discs are turned over and become the opposite color. If you have a move, you have to take it whether you want to or not. That’s all, that’s the entire game. But more and more discs fall to the opposing side with each turn. Where will it all end? Starting from just four discs to begin the game, play moves all over the board with as many as 64 discs placed by the final move. Play can end when one player can’t makeany more moves OR when the board is full. To add to the fun, if you can make a move but you’re out of discs, your opponent has to give you one of theirs. That’s like arming the enemy! As you become more and more familiar with Othello, certain strategies will begin to emerge. Owning a corner is always an advantage as that protects your discs in the immediate vicinity - your opponent can’t outflank you. But is your opponent backing you towards a corner so they can try to control it themselves? That’s the strategy of Othello. Can you see enough moves ahead to make your opponent puta disc somewhere they don’t want to? A minute to learn…a lifetime to master!" Rerations < Othello >

(Sponge Bob Golf Balls)    
(Sponge Bob Golf Balls)   This is a great ball to get children excited about golf. But don't let the paint scheme fool you. This is not a children's toy. These are regular/regulation type golf Balls made by Wilson. I originally bought these for my child to learn golf, and later bought some for myself. I am a 40 year old golfer and these balls play fine on the golf course. They are comparable to other Wilson or Top-Flites that I've used in the past. Easy to find on course because they are so unique in color (flourescent yellow is really bright and ball is easy to see). Plus, these golf balls remind me relax and not take the game so seriously. My kid likes them too! I'm a very skilled golf semi-pro who normally uses Titleist Pro V1x balls. I decided to switch to these for a round and the results were horrible. These balls traveled about 10 yards shorter off my driver with terrible feel. The spin on these balls is inferior as well.
I would strongly not recommend purchasing these balls for tournament play. They are easy to see and no one else on the course uses them. Love them! I bought these for my 17 year old nephew. He liked them a lot. They stand out from the basic white. They were also a good golf ball. The golf balls were advertised with children's toys. I thought they would be oversized for children. They are, in fact, adult golf balls. I won't be giving them to my grandchild. Sponge Bob Square Pants. Six Pack. Color Is Yellow. Rerations < Wilson Sponge Bob Golf Balls 6 Pack >

(Great gifts for my boys)    
(Pretty good)    
(Handle is too short)  
(great scooter for the $$)    My son uses this scooter all the time, he is 11 years old and this is his second scooter and he just loves this one. Great product. I purchased two of them for my boys, and they really love it. Made pretty strong and can be folded easily. It was really easy and fast to put together for my sons. No tools requiered. It was a nice scooter. I got it today and it is awesome. Except im to big for it and does not accomodate my 5'9" frame. Also the suspension thing is nothing more than a rubber thing. But it works well. Overall, im satisfied. The scooter is okay so far but the handle is shorter than expected. Yes I tried adjusting it but won't go any higher!!! bought this scooter for my 8-year-old daughter after looking in stores and reviewing prices online....the size is appropriate, the price was right, and the quality seems good....i am pleased with this purchase. The Razor A2 Scooter has a new springless front wheel and shock system along with a new wheelie bar and updated deck design. Patented rear fender brake and folding mechanism. Easy to fold and carry as well as convenient to store. The original kick scooter just got a whole lot better, making it even more fun for kids and teens alike. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the Razor A2 will get your child from point A to point B much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest.The Razor A2 is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Razor combined the traditional aluminum construction, however, with a number of recent innovations, including a springless shock system that makes bumpy pavement feel smoother than ever and an all-new wheelie bar that guarantees an extra dollop of fun. Add in the foldable T-tube and deck, which tuck together to create a compact footprint (ideal for carrying when riding isn't appropriate), and you have a great kick scooter for virtually any situation. Other details include an enhanced finger guard, 98 mm inline-style wheels, and a patented rear fender brake for quick stops. This version of the Razor A2, which weighs around 6 pounds and supports up to 143 pounds, sports purple handlebars, a purple deck logo, and purple wheels and is recommended for ages 5 and older. It's also backed by a six-month warranty. For the next step up, try the Razor A3 Scooter. Key Features: - For riders ages 5 and older
- Sturdy aluminum construction
- Weighs approximately six pounds
- Retractable kickstand
- Rear fender brake
- Enhanced finger guard
- Patented folding mechanism
- 143-pound user weight capacity
- Six-month warranty
The buyer and rider of the Razor A2 scooter are responsible for knowing and obeying all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the riding and use of scooters. Rerations < Razor A2 Kick Scooter (Purple) >

(Great Toy!)    
(possessed puppy)  
(Foot... Yellow foot...)  
(Great toy, but don't forget to remove the demo tag from back!)     My daughter got this toy for her first birthday, and loved it then. Occasionally over the past year it's disappeared for a short time in the closet, but she's recently discovered it again and still loves it! She drags it around in her baby stroller, she carries it, we take it on trips, and the batteries still work and I swear she has worn it out! Plus, it has the abc song, it counts, and has all kinds of buttons all over it's body that do different things. I would never have thought this about it, but it's great. My daughter will be 2 this month, June. I bought this for my niece and she loves it! My sister-in-law did say something about how one of the buttons gets accidentally pushed a lot. However, I don't think this is a major issue and overall they love it. I received this toy at my baby shower, but I ended up returning it. I thought the voice was annoying... and it would suddenly start up for no reason. I just didn't like it. "Foot... Yellow foot..."
This is what our puppy does... when no one is even remotely touching it. It's a little creepy, actually. One minute, my wife and I will be sitting on the couch watching TV while our baby sleeps upstairs in the nursery. The next, the puppy will moan, "Foot..." I'm sure there's got to be a wire loose somewhere. We had the puppy for about four months before anything went haywire (too late to return it). But now that damn right foot (the yellow one) just LOVES to go off. Press an actual trigger (hand, ear, nose, wherever) and the puppy works just fine. But it's annoying to be holding the puppy up while it's singing a song, only to have that song spontaneously interrupt itself to say "Foot... Yellow foot..." ARGH!
I realize this is an isolated complaint and won't be useful to most readers. But be aware that this CAN potentially happen. Otherwise, it's a wonderful toy that our baby girl just LOVES to play with.
This is a great toy. We have had it for many years and my 3 year old still loves it. It plays a large variety of songs and says things like "got my nose". It is very cute and fun. But I didn't see the demo tag in the back by the battery compartment for like a year, so I only thought it played parts of songs! It is a great toy when you check for that tag! Play games, sing songs, enjoy lots of learning fun with this cuddly friend. Baby can learn A-B-Cs, 1-2-3's and parts of the body, plus sing along to 10 favorite songs and games.

(Perfect!)    
(Awesome "Eco" Dump Truck!)     Got this truck for our toddler girl for the beach and she loves it! Plays with it at home as well as outside. It is eco friendly, usa made - durable, well constructed - easy to operate. We got the Sprig bucket and shovel for her sandbox and she uses them to fill this truck. She loves it and we love Sprig. My son loves it! I love it because it's a "green" product. Did I mention that they SMELL great? Not kidding! :) I love this truck. My son really loves to play with it and push it around, and I love that it is recycled. We are looking for an alternative to toxic China-made toys. This is just the thing! My kids love it and we will surely be purchasing more in the line. I love the wood smell of the eco-plastic used to make the toy and all the simple mechanical features. Our little truck driver loves the big dumping lever and pull-open cab. Durable for sand or snow and was a treat to have reduced packaging, which was only a little tray thingy which recycles quickly. Give your little one the tools of today to help them build a little greener. Sprig Toys Eco-Trucks are made in Europe to exacting standards and use the exclusive Sprigwood¿ wood-plastic composite. Each truck uses bits of recycled wood&plastic materials to create an earth-friendly toy that is durable, highly mechanical and has less impact from manufacturing on our earth. The Eco-Trucks Dump Truck uses off-road wheels and freewheeling chassis to easily push over any terrain. The locking bed holds sand loads securely and the mechanical dumping action is sand friendly and easy to use thanks to the Easy-grab handle. Sprig Toys Eco-Trucks Dump Truck freewheeling chassis with mechanical dump action, easy-grab handle, locking bed and tilting cab. Built in Europe using eco-friendly Sprigwood¿ wood-plastic composite. Digging, loading and dumping. That¿s a tried-and-true formula for dirt pile and sandbox fun that we simply won¿t mess with. Sprig Eco-Trucks are fully equipped with flip-open cabs and easy-grab handles, making each freewheeling vehicle inviting and a cinch to maneuver. The scooping action and rotating chassis of the Excavator turns serious digging into child¿s play. The Loader does the trio¿s heavy lifting, and the Dump Truck gets the job done with its tilting cab, locking bed and swing-out tailgate. The playful, cartoon-like designs of our chunky vehicles make them irresistible to preschoolers, and parents love the eco-friendly, battery-free, kid-powered construction.

(Hasbro Nerf N-strike Longshot)   
(Jonah's Nerf Longshot review (age 11))   
(Listen to the ones with low ratings)
(Terrific Fun!)     This toy has two components. The front detaches and can be used a compact launcher.
The pistol stock has to be attached to the front component. On the toy we received the stock could not be properly inserted. It was clocked by a protruding mold. In a partly inserted state it could not engage the firing mechanism.
I had to cut away parts of the rear protruding "wings" with a sharp knife and a dremel. After removing parts of the plastic pieces I was able, with some force, to snap the pistol grip firmly in place. It is now locked in place and works as designed.
This looks like a error in the mold or design, not a change manufacturing slip-up.
Once fully assembled it's a fun toy, but I do not recommend purchasing this until you know Hasbro has eliminated this problem. Our 8 year old son loves his Longshot! He&all the other Nerf gun warriors in the neighborhood are having a great time! He's had it for little over 3 weeks now. The only negative thing to say about this toy at this time is that the longer part of the Longshot does regularly "chew up" the bullets as the are being chambered. This leads to a jammed toy&torn up bullets. :( It is much lighter to carry around than the Nerf Vulcan that his brother has. The Nerf Longshot CS-6 is pretty good quality but sometimes the darts get jammed up. I like that it can be upgraded with the scope and has an extra ammunition mag. It is a 2 in 1 blaster and has good accuracy. I was hestitant to allow my son to buy this item but he convinced me to buy it locally. It is a good thing. The bullets are tore up with just a few hours of play. The guns jams frequently and becomes frustrating to play with it.
This is the second nerf gun we have purchased that we will be returning within a day. Nerf needs to go back and just stick with footballs. Bought this with the CS-6 to have battles with my son! What great toys for hours of indoor fun! Just keep losing darts! haha Take your blasting skills to the extreme with this two-in-one blaster! This blaster is more than three feet long and can launch foam arrows up to 35 feet away! Aim with accuracy and pinpoint precision using the targeting scope. Two quick-reload clips hold a total of 12 STREAMLINE DARTS. There’s even a fold-down bi-pod to help you steady your aim for important shots. Looking for a quick shot at close range? The blaster has removable parts to give you one-handed freedom with a pistol-style blaster! In either mode, load up, aim, press the trigger and watch the darts go the distance! Includes blaster, 2 quick-reload clips and 12 STREAMLINE DARTS. Rerations < Hasbro Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6 >

(sticky wickit)   We all love Wikki Stix, they are clean, echo friendly and reusable. This pack is excellent and a much cheaper way to buy them. I suggest starting off with this box. even i am addicted! my daughter immediately took them out and wrote all over the slider door with them, and we left it up for weeks, before it started to fall a bit (probably all the opening and closing). works great as an icebreaker of sorts for play dates when the kids cant decide what to do instead. def glad i bought them! I've used this product as a teacher and grandmother. I take it ski areas so when the kids get tired, out comes the bag and away they go. It's reusable too! I read so many reviews on Benderoos and Wikki Stix. I didn't know which ones to buy. One got more bad reviews than the other. I was not so concerned with the cost. I wanted the things to work! So I bought both. THEY ARE THE SAME. Both sticky, both bend, both don't dry out. I think I read that one has wire (like pipe cleaner) and one is yarn; NO. They are both the exact same product. Yarn covered in wax of some kind.. The kids love to create with it. It hasn't stained anything in my house so far. My advice is to go for the best price; not brand. This toy does what it says it will do,however the kids got bored with it pretty fast.

(Durable dinosaurs!!!)   
(Don't Be Fooled) 
(Fun for dinosaur fans of all ages!!!!)     I thought it was a good deal for the price. These where not quite as big as I thought they would be but overall a very good product. Good variety of dinosaurs and my young nephew seemed to enjoy them. Top fits into 3 year old's play very well at this point....triggers imagination and story building.....word development and relationships..... Very good toy to introduce youngsters to dinosaurs. They are very durable, even to biting toddlers and are great for their imaginations. Our son, 19-months old, loves to play with his in the bathtub, but really, can be used anywhere. Good toy for the value too. The image of dinosaurs shown is of an assortment of 11 different kinds, but what I received was 6 kinds, 2 of each. If we wanted to play Noah's ark with them I would have ordered 2 sets. Contacted wholesale-distributor about this and they never responded. The dinosaurs are what you would expect for[...]. You can clearly see the seam of were the two parts were made into a single item. The two legged dinosaurs don't stand up. The pointy tails and feet make this one of the most dangers toys we own but little boys need dinosaurs. Thsi collection is an absolute must for dino lovers of all ages.This set features classic dinos such as Brachasaurs,T-Rex,Triceratops,Stegasaurs, and of course the unforgettable velociraptors, but also Styracosaurus and Iguanadons!! This is an amazing set,great for all dinosaur fans!! Set of 12 realistic toy dinosaur figures. Dinos are made from slightly flexible plastic, are hollow inside. Set includes: Ceratosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Triceratops, Styracosaurus.

(The New Guilt Free Babysitter........Rush Hour Jr.)    
(blah)
(You'll crave more)    
("I want to do this for the rest of my life!"...)     I love this game. It's fun and mind stimulating, but it took my 6 year old son less 2 hours to solve all the games. Now he's bored with it. I would recommend buying the older version, so you can buy the add-on packs.
I heard about this toy through our son's therapist and the next day I ordered it online! Best purchase I've made. We have so many games, but this one takes the cake! My son enjoys challenging himself with this and it's truly the best guilt free babysitter. We also love playing it together by taking turns as it is a one man show. Thank you ThinkFun, can't wait to try your other toys. I had high hopes for this little game however the kids were quickly bored and the game will undoubtedly do nothing but collect dust for the rest of it's life. I was looking for gift ideas for my 5 year old son. He enjoys problem solving games and puzzles-not to mention his love of motorized vehicles. Rush Hour was a perfect fit for him. He'd never seen the game or played before I decided to purchase it. The moment he opened his gift from "Santa", it became an appendage. Now my husband is and addict as well! Fabulous game! ... That's what my five-year-old daughter exclaimed on Christmas Day after playing with this toy for about fifteen minutes. In fact, we all were having fun with this simple but challenging logic puzzle game.
What I like about this game:
QUICK SETUP: Open it and get going within a few seconds. Cleanup is quick too. Most other things my daughter is interested in have so much to deal with she is bored before she gets started. This is quick and easy, but not so easy that kids don't get the opportunity to learn the value of setting up and cleaning up.
COLORFUL PIECES: The cars remind me of the board games I played with as a child of the 70s and 80s.
EASY STORAGE: The travel bag is quick and easy to use to store the game or take it with you. The bag still fits neatly inside the box should the box bethe better option for home storage. There are several small pieces that could be lost, but the nature of the game is such that even if one is lost, there are several others the same size that can play the same role. Losing the ice cream truck might be a bummer, but even if that piece were lost the game would still be usable.
NO LICENSED CHARACTERS: While I don't have big issues with Hannah Montana and Star Wars and Barbie and Batman and Sponge Bob etc. etc. etc., it's nice to find a great toy that has NOTHING to do with any of them.
THE BOTTOM LINE: This is a perfect present for bright kids who are quickly bored by the usual toys for their age group, yet equally frustrated by toys intended for older children. In hindsight, I probably would have been better off getting the full version, as my daughter is going through the cards quickly, but I have no regrets with this purchase at all. I have not done so yet, but I intend to try the additional decks of cards that are meant for the adult version as I've read that they are compatible with this as well.
Younger players can experience the fun and challenge of Rush Hour in this exciting junior version. After setting up their game board according to pictures on various challenge cards, players steer their ice cream truck through a jumble of blocking cars, trucks and buses. A playful theme and forty age-appropriate challenges will keep even the most restless tyke captivated for hours. Rerations < ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr. >
