I bought this swing set for my two grandaughters. It was a big Birthday surprise for them. My son-in-law worked for about 16 hours to get it up and ready for them. It's definitly worth the money I paid for it. Everything seems to be nice and sturdy. The little picnic bench could have been made a bit stronger though. With both girls on the bench it seems to bend in the middle a little. We've talked about buying some wood to brace it up so it won't cause a problem. Other than that all is great. Most days we have five kids climbling all over it. I see it lasting a long time. I'm happy I bought it. And the free shipping topped it off. Right to the house and carried to the back yard.

Mattel Batman Dark Knight Action Cape Figure Review

Mattel Batman Dark Knight Action Cape Figure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
the sculpt is good, nice detail in the Batsuit, and decent Christian Bale likeness. the nylon-like glider cape retracts into the figure's back when you crank Batman's left arm and pops out for cool effect when you press on his stomach. his other arm is spring-loaded at the shoulder to throw the Batarang accessory the figure comes with. sadly, since both arms are needed to perform a special action feature, they aren't very poseable. the pop-out cape feature duplicates the scene from the trailer where Batman does a freefall off a building, assumedly releasing his glider cape to soar across Gotham. but Batman fans will miss the billowing cloth cape this figure lacks.
kids will like the action features and some collectors eager for TDK merch might pick these up to add to their collection, but more picky collectors are better off waiting until the 14-inch Ultimate Batman comes out in late May.

In Gotham City, the battle between light and dark takes place on an epic scale. That's why Mattel created this likeness of The Dark Knight. Poseable with a fold-out cape, this figure is a celebration of the heritage and heroism of Batman that both kids and collectors will love. Features amazing articulation, Action Cape Batman stands a whopping 14" tall and features The Dark Knight in his brand new film-inspired Batsuit.

White Wings Albatross Sailplane Rubber Band Powered Plane Review

White Wings Albatross Sailplane Rubber Band Powered Plane
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The plane was delivered in a large cardboard box with no signs of damage. So I was a bit surprised to find that the box inside that actually holds the plane kit looked as though it had been stepped on with a large boot. Glad it was not intended as a gift, because it looked pretty bad. But inside, the plane did not appear to be damaged. I hoped to buy a plane that was a few steps up from the old balsa wood gliders. In some ways, the design exceeded my expectations, in others, it clearly fell short. The horizontal stabilizer is solidly attached to the "fuselage". Combine this with the wing struts under the main wing and you have a fairly sturdy little airplane. But the vertical stabilizer (rudder) is held on by a tiny little piece of tape and can be expected to fall off repeatedly on the ground and in flight. Once assembled, the plane was clearly "out of whack" and required some serious manipulation to get the wings and stablizer level. It's hard because you feel as though you are on the verge of snapping it half. You have to get pretty serious with it to make any difference. The instructions stated that you must wind the propeller, if memory serves, about 180 times for the first flight. Apparently, the plane won't fly correctly if you don't fully wind it up. I wound it about 75 times and the rubber band snapped. The plane comes with a replacement rubber band that is different in size from the original, but I'm not entirely sure how to install it and I may not bother. Glad I didn't spend too much on this.

LEGO: Wright Brothers Plane Review

LEGO: Wright Brothers Plane
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I must say this set was extremely frustrating to build. It is the least structurally sound Lego set I have ever built. Granted Lego was limited in what they could do because they were copying an existing design, but that is no excuse for the problems I had.
First, attaching the cockpit area caused the lower wing to fall apart multiple times. Once I finally got that attached (after about 20 minutes) I built the upper wing and had to attach that one to. For the next 2 hours I sat there rebuilding the lower wing, cockpit and upper wing to get it attached right. Like I said, EXTREMELY frustrating. It took close to 4 hours to build when it should not have taken more than 2.
After it was all built I think it looks great sitting on a shelf, where it will collect dust because if I dusted it, it would fall apart.

The Green Goblin was one of several Christmas 2008 additions to our sons' action figure collection, including The Sandman and Venom.
The action figure's design comes from Spider-Man's latest animated series, [...]. The Green Goblin appears in episode 7, "Catalysts."
This action figure is well-built and very durable. It comes along with the signature Goblin Glider and a pumpkin bomb. Everything fits together well, which really makes playtime fun.
One final note on these action figures: we paid about [...] each for the Spider-Man toys but many collectors have driven up prices to more than [...] each. Compare Amazon sellers and be selective. You can still find affordable action figures on Amazon but you need to do some research.

there is a plastic tripod like assembly around the air hose stand. this stand simply is not durable enough and so it de-assembles rather too quickly upon use. with no stable stand the aim is completely random, almost better to hold it in one hand. that defeats the whole pump with the foot notion of the thang. so why bother... the nerf toys are more durable and the kids will play with them longer. the projectiles have already ripped off their paper wings. typical next day and hardly touched toy. final grade?

Flexible Flyer 41576T Star Chaser Swing Set Review

Flexible Flyer 41576T Star Chaser Swing Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This swing set has led to more frustration than any product that I have ever purchased. It is just awful and should be avoided at all cost. There are many problems:
1. The instructions that came with the set were not encased in a plastic baggie. Thus, when the box that the set became wet, the instructions were ruined: soggy and literally disintegrating.
2. As a result, I went to the web site to download a PDF version of the instructions. The instructions were printed front side and back side on a very large sheet -- far too large for any printer available to a consumer. As a result, I had to take screen shots of the sheet and try to piece them together. (Of course, the print was very faint and my printed out screen shots are very difficult to read.)
3. The parts are terribly labeled -- from the large pieces down to the smallest pieces.
4. Many of the parts are indistinguishable to the naked eye (some differ in size by literally 1/16 of an inch).
5. As a result, when one completes one arduous step, one may very well find that used he used the wrong parts and then have to start over.
6. The parts coming from the factory are of terrible quality. Holes are not punched through on the frame and quite a lot of effort is required just to get the parts to fit together.
I could go on, but I think that list is a start to an explanation of why this product should not be purchased.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My 4-year-old was introduced to the "Spider-man" films earlier this year and was instantly smitten with the sinister Green Goblin. My mission for Christmas was clear: he had to have a Goblin.
On the one hand, the toy is fine -- it looks just like the character in the movie, and was hands down my son's favorite Christmas present. At the same time, it can be a source of constant frustration. The glider falls apart nearly every time he touches it, and from what I've read, this is a common complaint about this toy. Bottom line: the Goblin is a cool addition for your little web-slinger's collection, but expect a few headaches.

Estes Viper RC Airplane with Motion Sensing Control Review

Estes Viper RC Airplane with Motion Sensing Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a very amateur RC plane enthusiast, I have tried (and crashed) several different airplanes from Air Hogs, Estes, and others. This is the only plane that I was completely unable to get into the air before it self-destructed. As another review states, the controller seems to lose touch with the plane. The "motion" controller is not really motion sensitive--it is only "on/off" for direction, which makes it very difficult even for an adult to try to fly, much less give it to a child. The plane always took a nose dive to the left as soon as it got airborne, no matter which direction the control was in. After an hour or so and many crashes later, it finally hit the ground with the wing and broke it off at the motor--completely unrepairable. We have an Air Hogs Jet Scream plane that I finally got comfortable with, and it is MUCH more durable and more fun that this Viper. No matter how many crashes with the Jet Scream, it has virtually no damage because it is so lightweight. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this plane, unless you really want to torture a 10 year-old and his dad.

Estes 2183 Shuttle Xpress Flying Model Rocket Kit
Average Reviews:

I've always been a big fan of rockets with parasite gliders, but this one leaves me cold. The rocket itself isn't bad for a ready to fly kit, but the attached gliders are made mostly of cheesy foam and are inpossible to keep properly trimmed. I guess it might be fun if you like to launch rockets then watch gliders flutter to the ground like dead leaves, but I've got other ideas. This kits sole redeeming quality is the nose cone, which can be scavenged and used to build several other classic Estes kits. If you see it cheap, it might be worth your while, but overall the Shuttle Xpress is a disappointment.

Adams Boy's Run Bike, Blue/Red Review

Adams Boy's Run Bike, Blue/Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We got this for my 2 year old boy after breaking a wooden "run bike" from Germany. My son LOVED this bike the moment he got it, and still does at 3 1/2. Anywhere we went people talked about it, and every kid wanted to try it. This bike teaches kids how to balance on a bike -- something that regular bikes with training wheels don't. Don't be fooled -- a bike with training wheels teaches nothing but how to pedal.
Not only was it fun for my son, but he was able to take his training wheels off his "pedal bike" on his third birthday -- in fact, the glide bike had prepared him so well that he was able to ride his regular bike on the first try, and was riding with ease the first day. (this was at least a year ahead of our other kids who did not use a run bike). He still prefers this Adams non-pedal bike to his regular bike, though, so I guess he just likes it better. The bike is also indestructible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! This is probably the best gift we have given based on it's popularity with our kids.

Teach your child the basics of balancing on a bike--a skill that training wheels don't teach--with this Adams Run bike for boys in blue and red. Everyone has to start somewhere, and Run Bikes are a great place for kids to begin the adventure of learning to ride a bicycle. Simple and safe, these little bikes have no pedals or chain and are regarded by many to be the best way to teach children balance before taking on the challenge of riding a bicycle by themselves.
A fun alternative to a sidewalk bike or tricycle, this Run Bike helps to develop balance and motor skills as well as speed up the learning curve to transition to a two-wheeler. It features a long, comfortably padded saddle for multiple sitting positions as well as an adjustable saddle height to fit a wide range of children from 2-1/2 to 5 years old. The bike weighs approximately 8-1/2 pounds.

My wife ordered a Slider from Amazon after seeing one while she was riding her bike. She thought it looked like a fun way to work out. It arrived quickly and was very easy to put together.
It took her a couple trips around the park to get her balance and technique. The instructions and videos on Unscooter.com show three different riding styles, and she is learning all of them. She has been riding it every day for a week now, and she's getting better all the time.
I was a serious cyclist for several years, and I recognize the quality of the components and engineering that went into the Slider. It is well made and I believe it will last many, many years.
I plan to order another U8 model for me and a smaller U5 for our 5 year old. I like it that much and recommend it to anyone who wants a fun and different way to excercise.

A Three-wheel action scooter with removable handle pole andhandle bars, and the only one of it's kind with single handbrake, three-wheel steering and 'Action Decks' TM technology designed to propel you without your feet touching the ground -- Scissor Action: Pivot both feet all the way out then all the way back in -- Roller Blading Action: Steer and pivot to the left as you shift your weight to your right leg and push out to the right, then steer and pivot to the right while shifting your weight to your left leg and pushing out to the left -- Slalom Action: Same as Roller Blading Action except you shift your weight and both feet to one side then the other - like skiing. Turning: Slow turns are accomplished normally by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to turn while keeping your feet shoulder width apart. Faster turns will require some practice since the rear wheels will also begin to steer in an arc around the front wheel; use the brake to slow and begin by turning in the opposite direction (countersteer) to slow the rate at which the back pivots around. Always lean forward and into the direction you wish to go while pushing out with the outside foot.

Another purchase for my grandson and although he is enjoying playing with it, it is a mess. Plane is all styrofoam and had to be put together. First time he flew it, it flew for about 10 seconds and crashed down nose first. Pushed the nose inward and all the wings fell off. Lost the landing gear. Had to keep repairing it with packing tape. Antennea broke off of the radio controller. All this happened within the first half hour. Wouldn't recommend this at all. But the grandson loves it. lol

This is a great set for younger builders. With varying degrees of difficulty in the 10 different models that can built with it its easy enough for the 5/6 year old to build on his own but also offers more challenging plans to test his growing abilities. The plane shown on the box was the first thing my son built. It was easy to put together and stayed together for him to be able to play with without any problems. With instructions to be able to build different airplanes, hang-gliders, parachutes (which looks like a hot air balloon to me)this set would be a definite hit with your little aviator!!

We bought this for our 8 year old daughter. It requires a good deal of time to put together and will require Mom or Dad's help (in our case, both). This made the toy a good family activity and we were able to put it together sitting in the middle of the living room floor over the course of several nights. The lego mechanics used are neat and thought provoking. My daughter has enjoyed playing with the legos and uses her imagination to rearrange them to build different items around the temple. I would recommend a plastic storage box for the temple and its associated pieces, otherwise you will be finding them with your feet and vacuum cleaner. Do count on further family activities as you engage in Avatar vs. Fire Nation battles with your child. I only gave four stars because of the complexity of the directions. An older child (about 10) would be able to assemble this alone, but may not get as much enjoyment out of it. It is definitely a family fun activity that any Avatar fan will enjoy.
