WowWee Robopet and Mini Robopet Combo Pack - 8101 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 5 year old son wanted a robot after playing with a friends WowWee robot. I picked this one because it looked easy to use and it said it did all kinds of things, one of which was it comes out of it's shell the more you play with it. Here we are less than a month since Christmas and it is barely played with these days. The problem is it just doesn't do much, one of the "games" is mocking its movements with the remote, not exactly a fun game. What this robot does do however is go through batteries, the first 24 hours it went through 4 Cs. While not being played with much these day when it is it is a tough toy. It has fallen down a few stairs and been dropped over and over but it keeps going. Good intro for a kid wanting a robot and the price is much lower than some of the others I have seen but now we have it and I know how little it does I see why the price is so low.

Roborover is an agile tread based companion with a shy but inquisitive nature, his personality grows and becomes more confident as you play with him. He is always eager to be on the move or play games with you. The remote controller has a Follow Me function so you can have Roborover search for you. And when it gets dark, he automatically switches to Night Mode activating his headlights to light up his path.

Rescue Heroes Hyper Jet HQ with Exclusive Bonus Offer - C.D. Moon Figure - Robotz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a GREAT toy. The Rescue Hero toys are the best I've seen in a long time. As a mother of five I've seen a lot of toys over the last 20 years, (my youngest is four) These toys are really worthwhile and encourage postive values and real heroism unlike many toys on the market today. To the reviewer whose son was not yet three, your son is still a little young. When kids are about three and a half they really start playing with them, for hours actually. My sons rescue heroes have had numerous long adventures in the bathtub as well (as long as they have no electronic devices) These rescue hero toys are on the top of my list for preschoolers.

Trans Scanning Bumblebee (Import) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very nice, fun detailed Transformer, but it broke as I was installing the pieces onto it.
The waist part was incredibly loose, kept detaching itself from the torso. There was no way for the figure to stand up straight. And one point trying to transform it the stomach joint just broke. it still holds into place, but now it's even more loose than it was before... and it was pretty loose already.
Otherwise it's a great toy, the robot is nice, the transformation is very complex, the car mode looks incredible.

*****NOTE - Contrary to the newsletter, this item's core is not die-cast.We apologise for the confusion. These vehicles can be taken apart and be attached as armor onto the Protoform figure that is included to make it resemble the character's robot form from the movie. Having arrived on Earth prior to his fellow Autobots, the loyal scout Bumblebee attained his Earth vehicle mode early on. Once Bumblebee had confirmed the presence of the Allspark on Earth, he signaled the other Autobots. Forming a bond of friendship with Sam, Bumblebee retained his weathered Camaro mode until Mikaela referenced the mode as a piece of crap, at which point a slightly disgruntled Bumblebee scanned and reconfigured into an updated version.

Gorillaz: CMYK Edition Noodle Vinyl Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you love Gorillaz, you will love this figurine. I was overall very impressed with the realism and construction. I love how Noodle is standing on the sides of her feet. Oddly, that also leads to her only drawback. Her axe must be slung as shown in the pictures. If slung to her side or back, wham, down she goes. A finely tuned martial artist like Noodle has better balance than that.
If you are a fan, you will geek out on this figurine. I plan to at least buy 2-D as well.

Fisher-Price Puppy Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really cute toy, but is sold out everywhere and the places that do have it (such as Amazon) are selling it for an OUTRAGEOUS price. I believe the MSRP is somewhere around $25 and they are selling it for $60!!!! Give me a break. That is so ridiculous. I would love to get this for my daughter for Christmas but I am not stupid enough to pay this price for it!

(More customer reviews)This whole series of Planet Hero toys is spectacular. Both of my 5 year olds adore this set. They are excited any time we are able to find a new "hero" to add to the fun. This figure is durable, teaches about the planets, encourages imaginative play and is used every day at our house.

Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen Movie Human Alliance Bumblebee with Sam Witwicky Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bumblebee is arguably the most popular Transformer behind Optimus Prime. Even Megatron (at least these days) doesn't hold a candle. We've seen many different versions of this Autobot so how does this one stand up? **Note: This is NOT the deluxe version of Bumble that sells for less than ten bucks. This is the Human Alliance Bumblebee - an altogether bigger and higher quality toy. **
For Kids:
In either robot or vehicle mode this is a quality toy with lots of detail and fun to play with. The inclusion of the Sam Witwicky action figure is a bonus for kids as well. I'm far from a kid (on the outside) these days but I remember loving the G1 transformers and the little action figure you could put inside - pretending you're that little guy with a big robot pal. The human factor is often forgotten these days. The main downside for kids is that the transformation is hard and like many of these movie transformers there are probably many kids who wouldn't have the patience for it.
For Adults:
Again, this is a bigger more detailed version. The car is top notch and while the interior could have more detail that it has an interior at all is a bonus considering that's a first for this line. This human alliance Bumblebee is almost twice the size of the deluxe version and a lot of that additional detail shows in the clear windows and seats, steering wheel and interior of the car.
In robot mode, words may not be able to describe it (I'll try to have some pics up). There is so much detail in this guy that I'd compare to the new Leader Class Optimus Prime as far as screen accuracy. Let's just say that this is the best representation of movie Bumblebee I've ever seen and I own the huge Ultimate Bumblebee... He's got the most accurate head sculpt and includes the battle mask that no other version I own does! Despite initial misgivings I found that the seats were well hidden in robot mode (they're out there but placed in such a way as to be unobtrusive). The back bumpers become the knee caps and another first (aside from the battle mask) the chest actually has two rotating sections to make the "tilted" look of his "pecks". Even that his right hand is a blaster does not make a big difference as it is so well done (and believe me, I've been upset by that blaster hand in many versions - why not a rotatable hand / weapon?) and looks so good.
His articulation is off the charts too. Tranformers have good articulation and this guy has great! I can't think of a pose I can't get him into (31 points at least). Flip his battle mask up or down, place his missiles where you want, he looks good.
For adult collectors the additional 2.5" Sam figure is not such a great deal. Sure he's there and sure he's pretty well areticulted but you have a giant robot to deal with. It should be said though that the robot has several options to carry the human - in his hand, on his shoulder or in his seat. That may be fun for you or the kids.
Maybe 30 plus dollars seems like a lot but maybe not once you get your hands on him. Transform and roll out with this Bumblebee. He's great and puts past versions to shame. His transformation is challenging but rewarding.

LEGO Star Wars B-Wing at Rebel Control Center (7180) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very surprised by how innovative the B-Wing fighter ship was by Lego. Its cockpit continuously revolves around the ship. The wings can be left folded down for a travel mode or expanded for combat mode. I think this is the best designed Star Wars Lego ship available. The Rebel Control center included is innovative. It includes a sliding door panel and a large display of the Death Star. Not a plus for those who want to buy a squadron of B-Wing fighters, but it still adds to the set.

Fisher-Price Puppy Grows and Knows Your Name Tan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this last year for my then 2-year-old son when it first came out for [...] Since I ordered it on Amazon, sending it back would mean losing out on a big chunk of what I paid for it in return shipping, so we just kept it. It was one of the worst toy purchases I have ever made.
The puppy's voice is not very pleasant, in my opinion, and upon loading up the software you'll find that at least 80% of the names available to give your puppy are female names. It's not that big of a deal, but my son wanted his puppy to be a boy and the voice sounds like a boy, so I didn't quite get the lack of male names on the software.
My major gripe is the total lack of variety. On the first day, the puppy says only 2 or 3 different things. As he grows, he says one new thing each day and repeats all the others. It gets extremely repetitive very fast. The bone and brush (if you can manage to not lose them) are fun at first because the puppy says something specifically about the item, but the bone is tricky to get in the right spot. You have to push it against his nose more than put it in his mouth. Still, it made my son giggle quite a bit when the puppy burped the first few times after having the bone.
The growing aspect is also lacking. It does not grow as much as you're led to believe. A few inches is about it. And due to all the mechanical parts that make this puppy tick, it is hard as a rock and not cuddly in any way. My son used to try to drag him around the house and it's just silly seeing him drag this heavy, stiff animal around.
He did enjoy him the first few days, but now the puppy is lucky to get his attention once every few weeks. I cringe every time I think of all the other quality toys I could have gotten him for what I paid for this. Not recommended!

Transformers Movie Voyager Blackout with Scorponok Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a fan of the Transformers since their U.S. debut back in 1984, and what has impressed me the most about this Movie Line is the fact the Transformers are going back to their roots.
Robots In Disguise.
Transformers alt modes are now that of real, authentic looking vehicles, something that has not been seen since the early 80's.
Blackout was the first of this line I purchased, and I couldn't be happier.
He's a little difficult to transform at first, but gets easier. For the record, the above pic is wrong, his copter blades fold neatly against his back.
I can't wait for the movie to come out, it's been 23 years, welcome back.

Luke Skywalker Force FX Lightsaber Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Me and my best friend decided to buy these, i really don't remember why i had the idea, but we had the money, and it was a cool idea. anyways, we've both seen all the star wars movies, but, really, we weren't big fans. actually, the closest thing we have to star wars in our everyday lives would be the Jedi Guy, who dresses up like Quigon Jin and rides around on his bike downtown every summer. point is, not star wars fans.
so, we bought them, the Luke model, and the Darth vader,[Star Wars Darth Vader Force FX Red Lightsaber] and had the best midnight sword fight ever. we were thinking of returning them too, untill we pulled them out and tried them. there freakin' amazing, for any kid or adult! I mean, these things have got two 17 year olds fighting with toy light sabers at dusk everyday.
they seem to be fairly durable. they have some scratches from being hit together, sometimes a little harder than what was intended, but they haven't broken thus far. and the scratches are only noticeable at a really close range when there on.
Final verdict, everyone should get these. not a must for any star wars fan, but anyone who likes a good sword fight and making a robot voice and pretending they have a long lost son named luke.

Hasbro Transformers Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster Review

I wish I could find some replacement darts for it though as his little sister has made of with 2 of them. lol Overall he loves it so that makes me happy. I am not a big fan of things that shoot being in the house for toys, but this has worked out okay.

A live-action movie based on the Transformers was released in 2007 and has continued the toy line's extreme popularity. With toys such as the Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster, kids can bring home the struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons.What's in the Box Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster and three foam darts.

Wall-E Plug and Play Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The game has 3 end goals:
(1) collect trash and make compacted trash cubes until you fill a lot of 20 spaces
(2) collect artifacts as you find them and bring them back home - you can find all but 3 in the main game
(3) complete all 30 levels (15 easy, 15 hard) of each of 3 side games and receive one of the remaining 3 artifacts after completing each game
Unfortunately there is no solution to Level 3 of the "Hard" levels (level 18 overall) in the Axiom Adventure game, and so you get stuck with all trash collected and all artifacts except one since you can't move past AA Level 18 to complete that game and get the last artifact. Really frustrating for both my son and myself.
