Wizkids Mage Knight Uprising Booster Pack
Mage Knight is the brain child of famed miniatures designer Jordan Weisman. Weisman designed Battle Tech and other FASA games before moving out onto his own. Mage Knight was the first game published by Wizkids; and it is the best in my opinion.
Players build army using a pre-build total that they agree upon. Each figure has a point value. Players then construct their armies to create a formidable fighting force. There are many factions which gives players a lot of flair in deciding how to create their armies.
Each starter box comes with the rules, special ability card, ruler, dice and an assortment of figures. Mage Knight is a collectible game so each starter and booster is different. When buying the 2.0 starter, you will receive Kieran Starsdawn, a limited edition unique. Note: some 2.0 starters have Kieran's brother Gabriel Starsdawn instead. Both are worthy figures.
The rules for Mage Knight are so straight forward you will be baffled by why you ever tried any other miniatures game. Each figure has an attack value, defense value, move value and a damage value. When you attack an enemy unit, you decide which figure will attack and which figure will be the target. Roll two 6-sided dice. Add this to your attack value. If the total is equal to or greater than the target's defense, the target is hit. The target takes damage equal to the attacking figure's damage value. Click the base of the target that many times. Simple!
The special abilities is where Mage Knight really gets interesting. You will want figures with stackable or compatible special abilities to augment your strategies.
All Mage Knight figures come pre-painted and pre-assembled. Thus, you buy a starter and a few boosters and you are ready to play! This is head and shoulders above Warhammer. How much time must you spend painting and sculpting figures if you want to play Warhammer? If you buy Warhammer, then your hobby is painting and sculpting--not wargaming.
Mage Knight is also reasonably priced. For around $ you can get a substantial amount of figures and be very competitive.
Mage Knight's larger figures have nice details and great paint jobs too. The Skyguard Griffin, the MK Castles, the other titans--all of them are reasonably priced and have worthy sculpts and paint jobs.
If you are into miniature wargaming or are thinking about starting, Mage Knight is the cheapest, quickest way to get started. I highly recommend it.

This is an older model that does not have the microphone speaker system so it is not a deal. You can get the newer model for about this price but you must read ads carefully. I would return this item if I had the time because this model is much less elsewhere. Though I over paid it is of good quality.Want Thomas and Friends - Talking Railway Series Knapford Station Discount?

My two daughters have absolutely fallen in love with the Barbie Sisters series and sets. We have collected most of them between my two daughters, aged 7 and 4, and have been very happy. My 4 year old received this set for Christmas and has had such a fun time with it. Between my two daughters using it all over the house, my nephew stepping on it, and a couple of tug of wars between the girls over it, it has taken quite a beating since we've gotten it. I am happy to say that the bunk beds have survived all of these things, and we even still have the laptop and ipod that came with it, which are favorites. The only problem with it is the ladder. This constantly falls off, so my daughter doesn't even use it. It hasn't taken away from the fun factor though. Since this has been so durable and fun, I ended up buying a second set for my 7 year old for her birthday.Read Best Reviews of Barbie Sisters Sleeptime Bedroom and Stacie Doll Set Here

I was a guest at a dinner party where the original table topics was used.I enjoyed it enough to look up the other editions.This game is a fun way to spur interesting conversation in a group.Read Best Reviews of Tabletopics - What Would You Do Edition Here
I purchased the box of questions thinking that it would be something fun to have around. I was wrong. The questions are based on morales and other awful situations. Here are two examples: What would you do if you saw a dog trapped in a hot car? What would do if the clothes you bought were made by a sweat shop? Well now I am just depressed and sad at the thought of either of those things. I want to cry because these cards make me think about the worst in people and society. Yuk!
How are these questions fun or entertaining? I guess I am missing the point completely! If you want to depress your guests and make people feel uncomfortable then buy them and see what happens? Maybe you could pull them out when you want people to leave your house. I would have thought of questions like what was your most embarrassing moment? or something else along those lines. A party is about having fun and socializing not something to start debates or depress people.
I threw the cards into the recycle bin and will keep the lovely box for something else more worthy.

Butterfly Hardfull Table Tennis Racket Case III
Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower
The plastic that encases the liquid is very, very sturdy--and it has never leaked. (Believe me...my son puts his Thomas accessories through the paces!) It's quite heavy, and fits right onto the wooden railway. By moving the black spout up and down, the blue liquid appears to empty and re-fill.
Kids seem to be fascinated with it, including my son. I definitely recommend the Water Tower as a neat accessory to any wooden railway system.I bought this genuine "Thomas" piece to go along with the generic wooden railway system Santa was bringing my 2 year old daughter for Christmas this year. I had watched her play with a train set in the play area at the toy store, and I noticed that she and other kids spent more time playing with this water tower than with any other accessory.She has been delighted with this piece since Christmas morning, and has invented several different pretend 'scenarios' in which the engines have to fill up with water or get cleaned up at the water tower. I was looking for one or two interest-catching but relatively inexpensive add-ons for our generic train set, and the water tower fits that description perfectly. Even though we've now added a few other fun pieces, the water tower is still her favorite part of the railway!

We have a LOT of water towers in our city and my son is just fascinated with them.So, I bought this water tower after he refused to stop playing with it at The Anderson's General store.What a great purchase this is!I personally love watching the pretend water going up and down with the movement of the spout."Water tower" as my little one calls it, goes everywhere with us.To church, to grandma's, grocery store, you name it, it's his favorite train piece.Why, I have no idea but I do know that he, along with every other child I've seen with it, absolutely adores this tower.

I bought this after my two and a half year old son played with it in a store that had it on display.he loved playing with it and he pretends to be giving the trains a bath. I highly recommend it to add to any thomas set.The best part about these pieces is the lifetime warrenty, and they actually stand by it. I have already needed a couple of pieces replaced and they did it very quickly. The trains and accessories are very good quality and are very durable!
Little Tikes Easy Adjust Play Table
After getting previous Little Tikes merchandise (table & chairs, toy box) we already knew about the durability of what we would be getting with this. So far it's been a year and still going strong.
The best part of this play table is that it doubles as a desk for either homework or for some sort of art. It's easily height adjustable and under the top piece, you have decent storage space. Along the sides are 4 storage bins which are easily accessible for children. Cleans very easily overall and this product will last you a long time, unlike other products out there. Everything we have bought from Little Tikes has lasted well past the price and this is certainly no exception.
Perfect for train sets, puzzles, drawing, or in our son's case playing with his cars. It doesn't come with a chair, but we used one of the extras we had from the Little Tikes table and it works perfectly.
Really a great product overall and you do get your money's worth.My only complaint is that you really need to space to have full access to the side bins. This is a great size table, and nice safe construction. The bins fall out of their little compartments fairly easy, so easy that my toddler can dissemble the bins and dump the toys, but he can also snap them back in and put the toys away! The kids all have a great time walking around the table have easy access to whatever toys are scattered on top!

Solid table, perfect for my destructive little boy and fits many of his toys in the attached drawers ! !I bought this for two one year olds in different households. Results were the same in both places!Kids and parents both love it!Only problem is both babies want to sit on the table!Great for trains, cars and blocks!Best purchase I made in 2912,Toddler Chair
Otherwise, the chair is dourable, well finished, and easy for my son to move on his own. The handles are well placed and the courners are rounded so I don't worry about him getting splinters etc. The finish is actually so smooth I ended up placing some no-slip stickers I also used in the tub to help him when he wanted to use the chair as a step stool.
The chair is great. I wish the shipping was less expensive.Great little chair. It's a perfect size for my 2 year old son. He is on the smaller side. It's very durable. Has has knocked it over a few times and has dragged it on its side across tile and not a scratch on it! I would definitly recommend this chair!
This chair comes fully assembled which brought great joy to my husband he didn't have to assemble it!It's solid and built to last.It's definitely the right size for a toddler and our 15-month old son loves it.He sits at a little train table we have for him and plays with his blocks or other toys and when he doesn't use it for that he enjoys his snack sitting in his chair and watches Blue's Clues in it.The natural color lets it go with just about anything as well.I think it's a great chair built for active children as well he picks it up and moves it all over the place and I can say it has been put to the test already and has come out well!

very sturdy and well constructed!! a true winner with this item!! I needed twoone for each grandchild when they visit together!! a great value!I originally bought this for my son as a chair but it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be so he just stands on it and uses it as a stool to brush his teeth at the sink. I like it but I just thought it would have been bigger. The picture was misleading.
Barbie I Can Be Kitty Care Vet
My daughter got this toy for Christmas and I was very surprised at all the features that it offers. A family member bought this for her and it was something I had never considered buying because it didn't stand out as a worthwhile item. Now that I've seen my daughter play with it I would definitely recommend it. Especially if you can find a good deal. I didn't see any insert that came with it that describes the toys features so we have kind of figured it out as we've played. Here is a list of the features we have discovered:
-Play ultrasound monitor that reveals two kitties in mommy's belly when lever is slid across top of monitor.
-Mommy kitty is hollow so that you can put the baby kitties under her (one at a time)until the babies are ready to be born.
-Delivery basket that makes a meow noise when lifted and kittens slide down the slide to get their first bath.
-Cool water reveals a colored heart on the kittens to tell what gender each kitten is. (blue and pink)
-A scale to weigh kitties. (It doesn't really do anything but hold the kitties.
-The scale arm is also a lever for a trap door that makes the kitten disappear and reappear.
-Button that when pressed makes a heart beat sound.
-Barbie has a button in her back that makes her arm do a petting motion.
-Barbie has a doctor bag that includes a mini syringe, medicine, and stethoscope.
The barbie is really pretty and well dressed. Although, I guess her lab coat doesn't come off but that's o.k. with us because she's always going to be vet barbie. My daughter told me not to take her lab coat off when I tried to anyway. We have had so much fun with this set. It's a little goofy in the way that Kitty Care Vet Barbie takes care of these kittens but I also find it very amusing.

My daughter wants to be a vet when she grows up.I like that this places Barbie in a profession that is reasonable, not just actress, movie star, pop star,etc.Great toy for my 9 year old daughter.Read Best Reviews of Barbie I Can Be Kitty Care Vet Here
My daughter received this set for her 4th birthday.She loves Barbies and is content to change their clothes and brush their hair forever!But the adults wanted a little more for the dolls 'to do', if that makes sense.She has several of these sets, and it is nice to just pull out these pieces and a couple of extra dolls and role play a trip to the vet.The pieces are not very durable and there are some tiny ones that could easily get lost, but my daughter plays with them pretty well. In case anyone wondered about organization, we keep these plastic sets (we also have the newborn doctor and the zoo doctor) in a container separate from the dolls and clothes (so they won't get broken by the weight of the dolls) and keep all the smaller accessories in a plastic pencil box.It makes it easy to keep track of the particular pieces of the set and easy to pull just those out while playing.While it's not a perfect set, my daughter has really enjoyed and will get our money's worth.My daughter loves animals and wants to be a vet when she grows up so having Barbie in that role was a nice fit for her. The cat that comes with the set is also cute. The vet table is a little small and the scale falls off easily but she still enjoys playing with it.

I had been looking for an affordable plexiglass easel for my children.I thought it would be fun for them to paint directly on the surface, trace, see through it, etc.Almost all the ones I saw were in teacher supply lines and very expensive.I was just about to give up when I saw this easel and bought it for my children as a Christmas gift.It's a little shorter than most children's easels.You can see that in the pictures, though, as the older children are sitting.This didn't bother me because my boys are young and shorter than average.The light inside is a nice touch too.It really only works well in the evenings with the lights off, otherwise it only lights up the very topmost section.I didn't buy it for the light so that didn't bother me.It comes with two sets of paints: 3 tubes of florescent paint doppers, and a set of poster paints in tiny tubes.The paint doppers worked really well with the light on and painted directly on the plexiglass.You do have to shake them really really well or they will run.The poster paints are not washable.I learned that the hard way and spent a good bit of time scrubbing the easel one day.A Magic Eraser I had came in very handy then!All in all a good purchase and I hope it last a long time.It looks like it will.
