Front Porch Classics Generic Circa Baseball Desktop Game

I ordered this because I liked the look, and thought it would be a neat addition to my game collection.To my delight, it also turns out to be great fun!It is basically a pinball style game, but even without the electronics and all, it is a joy to play.Have a friend who wants to play?It's easy to follow basic baseball rules and play through nine innings.Swing the bat to get a single, double, triple, home run, or even get out!Much like real baseball, you'll have to work to get some points on the board.As an added bonus, this game is easy to assemble and beautiful to behold.It stays out nicely, as a decorative piece for your game room or as an addition to any sports memorabilia collection.I'm not even a sports fan, and I love this game.It's a good return to simple fun, with value added craftsmanship.

This toy seems to be the "economical version" of the Old Century Baseball Tabletop Games made by the same company.Instead of 3 ramps, this game only has 1.It is also much smaller.Overall, my 8 year old and 11 year old really like it and play with it from time to time.It doesn't hold their attention as long as a nintendo DS (what does?), but they'll bang around on it for a good 15-20 minutes a few times a week.I like it because the price was right and it's not plastic.It really is wood.It sounds funny, but it just feels good to play this game.Additionally, the unit is built very well and is proably more durable than one might expect.They didn't scrimp on manufacturing this unit and I would expect their other games are the same.

I got this game for my 6-year-old son in my parents' name for Christmas 2005, and it was his favorite toy. He loves baseball, and of course pinball carries its own intrinsic interest and sense of fun. He's especially interested in it if I play with him, so there's a definite positive social aspect to the game as well. Additionally, the game's wooden and metal components are well made and, within reason, this is a durable toy.

Our 6-year-old son just loves this game!It was super easy to assemble, easy to learn how to play, and the games go by fairly quickly and are exciting.Plus it doesn't make all those noises that almost all the new, electronic toys make.It seems pretty durable and well-made and we're very happy with what we got for the price.

My 10-year-old son loved this game while it lasted.Overall, I would have rated it 5 stars except it lasted about three months.After that, the skimpy assembly that holds the plunger together (the metal rod that launches the ball into the game) fell apart and a tiny metal screw was lost.I contacted University Games to inquire about replacement parts.Their super-friendly and helpful customer service department told me they don't have parts, and promised instead to replace the game.However, three months later we have never received a replacement game, repairs parts, or any other resolution.

Given this experience, I cannot say I would recommend this product to anyone else, nor would I really be inclined to buy another product from University Games.

Don't say I didn't warn ya .......

UPDATE: In all fairness, University Games did finally replace this game with a new one, free of charge.No problems with the new one .... yet.

Creative Converting Jungle Buddies Plastic Table Cover, Rectangle 54 x 108"

Note that the picture shown is not a picture of the entire tablecloth.The tablecloth is entirely white for the surface of the table, and the jungle print occurs only around the border. This tablecloth is 54 x 108 in. It is made of durable but thin plastic.Ironically, I bought this trying to avoid other tablecloths that showed white on top.

Did the job and was a cute tablecloth to put on the picnic table for my sons birthday party. y

B. Toys Kids Flip Down Wood Easel/art Desk Combo In Espresso

I bought this for my son two years ago.The easel has a dry-erase side and a chalk-board side.The chalk-board side isn't done properly and is too smooth--chalk doesn't write on it.Also, it doesn't function well as a desk.When folded down to a desk it's too high for any child under 5 to sit and reach (the desk area is 24" high when folded down)--and any children's chair is too low for it.I tried stacking pillows for a few months, but it was difficult.Even as an art easel I had to set up a step-stool for my son--then 3--to reach it to paint.Also, the bins underneath make it uncomfortable to sit at as the child's feet hit the bins.And, there is a section of wood on the top of the easel that sticks up making it hard for kids to reach/put their arms down to color, etc. when it's folded down as a desk.

The dry-erase works great, my kids have had fun using that and the paper that rolls up over the top for painting.I primarily wanted to use this as a desk, with the added feature of the art easel and have been disappointed that I couldn't do that.I'm thinking about cutting a few inches off the bottom of the legs-removing the bins and the wood pieces that hold then, removing the extra wood piece on the top of the easel to make it more usable as a desk.It's annoying that I have to make so many modifications though.

Jonti-Craft SENSORY TABLE - TODDLER

I love the plug with the switch to open it or close it.The wood is a good quality and the perfect height for toddlers. The only con I have is that I wished it was locking wheels. The toddlers tends to also lean on the table. It was very easy to assemble the legs. I also like the lid. We it is closed, we used it as another table.

This water table is the only one to own. It is 100% classroom quality and perfect for any classroom OR HOME! we use it in our home as I run an eco-friendly home childcare so the big clunky plastic ones were not an option.

Magnetic Bases 25mm Round

These bases are great if you want to add your own minis to your games. I'm using them to rebase heroclix minis into D&D minis and they work great. The plastic tops are textured, unlike D&D minis, but it's probably better for the glue and it's not too distracting. The magnetic underside is a nice bonus, but a few required some minor cleanup around the edges. The circumference and thickness compare well to 'standard' minis and I'm very happy with the results.

Well, I actually thought I was getting regular bases for my warhammer models when I ordered these(I didn't really read the title), however to my delight these all have a magnetic strip on thebottom of them. they have a different texture to the original warhammer bases maybe made out of a different material, im not too sure but its close enough. 5 out of 5, thanks.

Bachmann Trains Night Before Christmas Ready-to-Run Large Scale Train Set

• 4-6-0 steam locomotive with operating headlight smoke and speed-synchronized sound
• Gondola and bobber caboose with Santa figure
• 5'4" x 4'3" oval of track
• Power pack and speed controller
• Illustrated ?Bach Man? instruction manual and DVD format video instructions

Train was bought to go around Christmas tree, very happy with train size and looks. Would buy again. It reccomends 3-5 drops of fluid for the creation of smoke, the smoke last less than 1-2 minutes. Problems with line from speed control to track, Bachmann sent replacement in time for Christmas. They need to beef up line from speed control to track and the connecter to the track. Buy lubricant when you buy train.

Buy Bachmann Trains Night Before Christmas Ready-to-Run Large Scale Train Set Now

This train is big and colorful. It is based on the Bachmann Big Hauler series of trains, whose slogan used to be "Any bigger and you'd have to buy a ticket." In spite of the Christmas lettering, the locomotive pulling this train is an accurate model of a Baldwin locomotive that ran on many American railroads between 70 and 140 years ago.

The Bachmann company provides excellent service and a wide range of accessories. This train is also made to run outside if you want, but the track isn't.

We bought this train as an upgrade for around the tree.Wire connector to track to power train defective.After 17 phone calls, two separate faxing of recent receipt, once sending the same defective part, and getting interrogated as if I was guilty of something, we finally received the correct 50 cent piece a few days before Christmas.He said "we have to interrogate you like that" and he did it on two separate days.Took four weeks of negativism from Billy and Cynthia to finally get train going only to find that it has trouble staying on the track.This is the first time I have ever reviewed a product despite years of buying items online.

This is great for the Christmas tree.Quality is good, very sturdy.I run it around the Christmas tree in the Winter, and it never gets stuck on pine Needles (it doesn't pick them up at all).Easy to set up, and able to withstand my two year old poking it in excitement, or driving it stop/go/stop style.I like the looks.Would recommend to anybody looking for a big train to use at Christmas time.Size is perfect.

It could use a couple of extra straight track pieces, but you can buy them on Amazon for a minimal price.

This train is great, works great and the track is easy to work with and the set is large enough for old eyes to see. Would have been great if it had a whistle...but it looks neat coming out from under the tree.

Galladon Greycloak Wizard Dark Heaven Legends

I bought this as a for my D&D wizard to use as a miniature. The staff looks a lot like Gandalf's (the grey) in LotR. The quality of the metal itself is solid, and seems built to last. The detail is also impressive given its small size. Some things that bothered me: It was over 5 days late in getting here, which probably isn't anyone's particular fault. However, the staff was bent in the packaging before I opened it (obviously this is the weakest structural part of the piece). It had a lot of room in the box, so I don't believe it was due to any aggressive postal worker. I find this very unacceptable, and had to heat the metal in order to bend it back to it's original shape.

Pressman Toy Checkers Board Games

The cheapest produced board game I have ever seen. Only buy if you are taken it on a one way short trip that ends up on a waste facility. It will then be at home.

The playing board is really flimsy, the checkers don't all stack properly.This is another product made by the same country that blessed us with lead, asbestos, and date-rape-drug poisoned toys.The Amazon Marketplace seller I bought this through was fine, but the product quality is low end China junk.

This product is so awful it prompted me to write my first product review, ever.This collaboration of ineptitude and a contempt for things that bring children joy single handedly rebukes the philosophy "One man's junk..." and has changed it to "...is another man's junk."When my 5 year old daughter opened the box she asked me if I was mad at her.

This checkers set was the biggest disappointment of anything I have ever ordered from Amazon.The checker board was warped and extremely flimsy.Checker pieces were also very light weight and cheap looking.The set is certainly not worth the cost.I would say that it might be worth $2-$3.

Little Tikes Table and Chairs Set

I really like this table and chairs set.It's durable, easy to clean.My only con would be that the plastic legs slide too easily on my hardwood floors.The chair legs once even slid out from under my son.I had to put non-skid rubber pads on the bottom of both the table and chairs... and they fall off sometimes.Other than that, it's great.I had considered other expensive wooden sets ($100-$200+), but for the money this is so worth it. As a place for my son to sit and draw and paint, it works just fine.

My 2 year old loves his table and chairs. It's a small table and 2 small chairs. Surprisingly, the chairs hold up to 70 lbs each even though they are very small. I like how it's all 1 piece of molded plastic, so there was nothing to screw in or put together!

Puzzle Board for sizes up to 35.5 inch x 26 inch

If you like doing 1000 pc puzzles like I do, this is a must.

Even tho the description says for 1500 pieces, you'll want this one over the 1000 pc size.

Why?Because many puzzle manufacturers 1000 pc puzzles are bigger than the board allows.....only by 3/4", but thats enough, right?

Big Ben 1000 pc is about the only one that fits, and this one fits all puzzles.

Its easily carried from room to room if needed, and keeps the puzzles out of the way when company comes.

I would seriously suggest the "Jigsafe".Keep your pieces sorted and organized and easily moved about.Great products, great company to buy from.
