Breyer Pumpernickel Goes To The Fair Inch - Coloring
This was sort of a mess. I ordered the coloring book, but where they say you can review the order before you place it, they negelct to separate the details hence there was no way to see the outrageous S&H on this order.I purchased the coloring book for $4.78 but didn't realize that the S&H was $7.25!! Then I didn't get it for over a week. I have sent stuff to people that was bigger, for less, and gotten it there sooner. After I got it, I noticed there was a tear in the cover.After seeing this and after everything else, I was very upset, so I left a very bad feedback rating and then left town the next day.
Credit to ToyGarden, they were very persistent at wanting to resolve my discontent. They left several messages for me while I was out of town that I got when I returned, however, since I did not return until the 23rd of Dec and this was supposed to be a gift, I figured it was too late to do anything. Toygarden however persisted and kept trying to contact me regarding the negative posting.
We came to an agreement and I agreed to pull the negative feedback but when I tried to go in an leave a more accurate account of the transaction I couldn't. You only get one chance here.
They are very concerned about ensuring customer satisfaction and go out of their way to rectify any dissatisfaction. They refunded my S&H when they did not have to.
Apparently Amazon sets the S&H for this stuff, so, be aware, if you think you are getting a deal, make sure you consider the S&H.
Goglory Air Powered Hockey Table 48-Inch
Ordered this item on 12/17 for a gift. I received a call from Goglory sports on 12/22 asking if I still wanted the item because there was some sort of delay in them receiving the order. I said I did still want it... received the table on 1/3, was supposed to be 12/31. Assembly was pretty easy, but after just a few minutes of playing time, the fan completely died. Contacted goglory & they sent a new fan, but the Wrong size fan. Contacted goglory, again, to request the correct fan.... we received the Wrong fan Again!!Contacted seller and had to send photos, dimensions, & proof as to what size table we received to request another fan which arrived correctly. This whole process took over a month to correct. Too much aggrivation & received just a $25 credit for my troubles.
Fuzzy Bunny White
Our daughter received this bunny as an easter gift and she loves it! It is the only thing that helps her sleep, she uses the bunny as a pacifier and it has held up to her chewing on its ears, face, arms, and legs. This toy is easy to wash and is very durable. We love it so much we bought another one for when the original is left some where or in the wash.
This line of stuffed animals is really soft, and the type of fur reminds me of the stuffed animals I had as a kid.The arms and legs are extra floppy and are wonderful for small children to hold onto and is the perfect size for toddlers.It's still a bit too big for my infant, but he loves to cuddle it or chew on the arms.in additional to the fuzzy bear, I got my little 7 month old this fuzzy bunny. At first I was concern that it is white and my baby will make it dirty.Surprisingly, it doesn't get dirty that easily.My baby loves this soft cuddly bunny and takes it with him wherever we go.He is happy when he gets to hold his bunny to sleep.Was so disappointed by the stuff animals that I was seeing in stores and I really wanted to buy a nice stuffed bunny for my nephew for his first Easter. This little bunny fit the bill perfectly. You can always count on Gund for their high quality stuffed animals and this one didn't disappoint!
Alex Wooden Cook Top Playstove
This is a great little stove.We had gone thru several "full size play kitchens", and got tired of the space they take.Bought this one 7 or 8 years ago.It folds up and can be put away, but still gets taken out and played with (by the youngest child now) every week or so.Of course you have to buy a good set of pans, we bought the ones pictured with it, and really fun playfood, not just a platic blob in the shape of food.Even the older kids still come play with the kitchen stuff occasionally.

I got this for my 18 month old son. He has been interested in all the kitchen appliances but I thought I would give a simple start. It is small in size but perfectly so; can travel because it foods and seems pretty durable. The only downside is how it folds it doesn't exactly lock in place. But all in all very durable and higher quality than expected.Read Best Reviews of Alex Wooden Cook Top Playstove Here
I was searching for a small play stove set for my son who just turned 3 and is very into pretend play.This stove was perfect, it's realistic, great quality, durable and best of all my son loves it.If you are looking to save space and avoid getting one of those giant pretend kitchens I'd recommend this product.

This play stovetop is perfect for situations where small size and easy storage are key criteria!Its sturdy wood construction promises to be a big long-term plus, and it happens to fit beautifully atop a rolling 3-drawer plastic cart in primary colors, both bonuses as well.Thanks to the addition of several medium-small stacking bins placed next to the cart when grandchildren are with us, the red drawer can function as a pretend oven, the blue one as a fridge, and the yellow one for "other stuff" of their choosing.When they aren't, the stovetop can stay in its original box for protected storage, and the cart provides plenty of space for all the play food, pots and pans, chef outfit, etc.I've found that Alex Toys manufactures a number of great products and stands behind them I'm happy to say this is no exception!

Overall design is nice with the body of plastic and the ring of metal. The molding is overall good but occasionally some edges look like there may have been a little scraping and nicking possibly from getting it out of the mold that could probably be fixed with a little filler putty.

Tetris Constructible Desk Lamp Light
I pre-ordered this neat lamp because I have been a fan of TETRIS since before I could walk! This light is great, and is appropriately priced for what you get. The packaging was very protective, and the box arrived inside a shipping box which means the actual product box is pristine for gift-giving. Each piece is wrapped in a protective baggie.The pieces are plastic with thin metal borders. I was under the impression the pieces had magnets and would "stick" together when they stacked this is not the case. When you put the lamp together, in whatever shape you choose do so on a level surface that will not be approached by pets or children. The pieces are not magnetic and do not stay together on their own, they just require a lot of gravity in the area they'll reside. (Alternatively, hold the "down" on the D-pad to keep the pieces connected.)
The blue block is the base. It will receive the power, so you must like blue since it will always be on whenever your lamp is. There is an on/off switch on the back of the blue brick so you needn't unplug it or hunt for a cord switch every time you want it off. All you need to do to turn the others on is touch them to the blue base when it is switched on and plugged in. The colors are pretty vibrant, but the light behind them is not a "general glow;" it has a focal point as most LED lamps tend to have. The lamp should not be used for task lighting, since it is not bright enough. It would make a decent ambient, mood light, or to have on while watching TV or playing TETRIS so you don't get a headache.
All in all, this is a great light! I bought another for myself so now my whole family can bask in the glow of old fashioned video games without actually playing.
Edit: I purchased this light when it was around 45 dollars, but since the review went live the price has changed. I would not buy this lamp for the current price of 80 dollars unless novelty lamps is your "thing" that you are super into. If I had spent that kind of money, I would be disappointed both in the fact that it can be found much cheaper elsewhere and that the construction doesn't live up to that price. Also, I have amended the educational rating of the lamp, since I had to explain conduction to someone who asked how it powers the other lights. I suppose... that oughta be filed under educational, too, oughtn't it?
I bought these for my desk at work and everyone loves to stop by and play with them.Our favorite variation is to play tetris-jenga in which we build these tall, precarious structures that just barely stay together.We don't get much work done anymore.

I have this setup in my office on the window ledge.I like how the pieces can be moved around like tetris pieces.I'm only giving 4 stars because it is a little pricey and sometimes its hard to get the pieces together just right to get them all lit up.Read Best Reviews of Tetris Constructible Desk Lamp Light Here
♦ Brief Review ♦
My sister received this as a Christmas present from her boyfriend and she was most kind to let me have a play with this superb product.
Included are one of every tetrimino shape (which light up in their own individual colours), an AC adapter and a brief manual telling you the do's & don'ts as well as many different formations you can do.
To start up, you first need to power up the blue straight piece, it has a power socket and a switch located on the back, once turned on it will light up, then all you have to do is place another
piece on top to which it will then light-up as well.
I was amazed to see it actually work and you can experiment with all kinds of formations.
Once you've completed the desired shape, the end result is an awesome looking light that will be much appreciated by any gamer.
Whilst this product is a bit pricey, after having a go with it myself, I'm more than willing to pay the current price for one and would highly recommend it.

I paid 50 for it. I like the idea v. much. However, how it is made is far from the idea... V. light plastic, the LED inside are quite weak, it is hard to position the blocks because everything is very sleepy (the improvement would be some magnets in the frames). Bottom line: for 20-25 it would be a great gift even with those issues; for 50 (or more) I feel guilty I did it.

Battlefleet Gothic 1999 Imperial Cruisers
First off if you are not familiar with this game ,these are are game pieces for the battle fleet gothic table top war game. set in the "warhammer 40k" universe.Pack includes the "hull sections" of 2 cruisers and all the parts to create the several various classes of cruisers for the imperial faction for the Battlefleet gothic game. The models are quite good, detail high with minimum to no fuss in assembly.Minatures are actually small resin models so glue and paint are a must. This allows you to tailor you fleets to your personal taste. I actually had purchased them for the models sake before I got into the game as the are very nice. there are several factions besides this particular one and for the most part the models are all quite impressive. The entire line includes escorts (destroyers and frigate) cruisers and some really impressive all metal Battleships.
That being said, I have noticed that many listings for these items are listed as "out of print" or "rare" and have ridiculess price tags. Its all garbage, you can go to the gamesworkshop site online and purchase this item for around $25.00 US dollars. even the large all metal Battleships are far below $100.00. Don't get ripped off.

Small World Toys Preschool (They Keep Multiplying!) 12
My daughter got 99 out of 100 on her 3rd grade multiplication test! I fully credit this learning tool. She loved using it for studying and I believe it helped her over some of her stumbling blocks. I loaned it to my fifth grade son's math teacher. She wanted to try it on some of her students. I highly recommend!
this came in right on time with no problems great there. i remember having this as a kid and couldnt find any in the local stores so when my son started struggling with his math facts i went searching for this toy even tho i didnt even no its name. great thing to help your child definately pick one up.

Beatles Yellow Submarine Electronic Pinball Game
- Features electronic lights and sounds.
- Double flipper action, automatic scoring, and authentic graphics.
- Neat for home or office!
- Plastic, uses 4 C batteries, not included.
- Limited quantities. Dimensions 23.5 x 2.5 x 10.63
Once the ballis in play, its pathetic to see it bounce off the bumper and 1) not even set off the lights and 2) coast to the middle of the machine and stop. Its as if the angle of the game wasn't done right.
There is a reason why they dropped the price from 54 dollars to what it is now. They were robbing you then, they are still robbing you now. Its a hunk of yellow plastic with Beatles stickers, OH which lets not forget, it includes the cheapest, cardboard cutout of the periscope that you stick to the top of the cabinet. The sound included with this game is a travesty! Its machinegun fire and a various collection of bells and whistles, but nothing that I expected! At the very least, it would of been nice to hear a clip of the actual band playing! But no. Argggg Foiled again!
Had I seen this up close chances are I would NOT have bought it. But being a die-hard Beatles fan I'll keep it. If only to showcase on some shelf and never play it again. I value it at no more then 15 dollars, any more and you're getting ripped.

Wow. For something that cost $40+ dollars, I expected a nice toy. This is more like a dollar store version of pinball. We've had mini pinball games before, but nothing has ever been this poor.

RiverRidge Kids Table with Dark Blue Top
I just purchased this for my daycare home and haven't tested it out for how child friendly it is yet, but during assembly we nearly poked the screws through the surface.The screws are too long considering the attachments have countersink screw holes.If you tighten the screws as tight as they are supposed to go you will go through the table and chair tops.The screws should be shortened or a washer added to the countersink to keep it from advancing through the top.I was pleased with the packaging (other than I wish it was earth friendly packaging), I was pleased with the ease of constructon, it was the perfect size for what I wanted, it has a nice color finish and if it holds up to the wear and tear of my preschool day care home, it is definately a product I would purchase again.
TableTopics TO GO Bachelorette Party
Whipped these out poolside at Vegas during our girls weekend.Only had to skip a few because they didn't apply/we found 'dumb'.Did spark some conversation and came in handy when things started dying down, but found we went through them pretty quickly.
Not entirely sure it's worth the price... almost felt like I could have googled and found same/similar questions and popped them into a word doc.
Would I buy them again... yes, but only because I'm reusing them for several parties.If it was only once, probably not.

I got this for my sister's bachelorette party. Spread it out all over the buffet table face down and had people take turns picking up cards, answering the question themself (if they could some are very bride-specific) and then asking the bride. It quickly evolved into everyone answering the questions. They couldn't stop picking cards even though we had a fun pinata to hit and lots to eat! Great icebreaker! Questions could be riskier, but since it was my sister answering I was fine with it and only winced a few times. My sister loved it!Want TableTopics TO GO Bachelorette Party Discount?
I bought these cards to be quick fun questions for a bachelorette party.I did not want anything totally raunchy, but these were just too boring and tame.We ended up reading all of the questions and mocking them rather than really having fun with them.
However the adult MadLibs were a big hit.I recommend those!

This little kit has six different games crammed into one small foe leather box. While the build quality is slightly shady you do get a great deal of gaming fun in a 5"x5" box. It has a great little magnetic chess and checkers set, backgammon, cribbage, a set of cards and dominoes with instructions for each game. Well worth the price!

The pieces are plastic and the chess pieces are magnetic.
The board is small as are the pieces, but that is what travel games are all about.
The games were delivered promptly and are as advertised.
The only caveat is to keep this away from small children who might eat the pieces.

Bright Starts Having a Ball Get Rollin Activity Table
My 9 month old has had this table for 2 months so far.. and I'm embarrassed to say that she plays with it for hours a day, though not all at one sitting.I researched the Fisher Price and V-Tech version of similar tables (and watched my daughter play with them at friends' houses) this one is so much better!It seems like there are more activities than the others.We started without the legs, added them a month ago.She loves it both ways, and we'll probably take the legs off again soon just to change things up.As another reviewer mentioned, the functionality switches between "play" and "learn" mode by flipping the page of the book.There are so many melodies (English and Spanish too) that even after hearing it daily, my husband and I still think we're hearing new songs.We don't find them annoying at all.Actually, to correct the other reviewer, the "red triangle", "blue circle", etc audio corresponds to the buttons of the caterpillar that are the corresponding color and have that shape on them.It's pretty obvious if you sit down and play with your child.
The alligator mouth covers a compartment that is great for hiding the balls or puffs/Cheerios.My little girl loves to find things there.She even knows the sound associated with the alligator door and comes crawling to look for food if she hears it.One of the smartest things that Bright Starts did was to make the 1,2,3 buttons so that they click and pop out.It's hard to describe, but it's different than just pushing a button the child gets feedback and it's easier to operate.Initially, my baby couldn't figure out how to push buttons on any of her toys.These were easier for her to manipulate and seemed to help her figure out the "cause and effect" of the other buttons.
Of course, the ball slide is a huge part that sets this table apart from the others.We have so much fun watching her try to stop the balls from falling into the hole and then chasing them around after the come out of the leg.The balls are the perfect size for little hands, too.It comes with six 2 each of red, yellow and blue.
The toy will automatically play a random tune about 30 seconds after the last button/activity was activated.At first we thought it was broken.We were wrong it's actually genius.I cannot count how many times my kid has gotten fussy or wandered away from the toy and been drawn back by that reminder song.Just so you know, it's on purpose!We honestly thought it was haunted the first few nights when it would play songs after we had cleaned up even though no one was playing with it.
At 9 months, she has not yet mastered the yellow spinner or the gear-like activity.She also doesn't reliably let the balls go down the slide on purpose.Due to this, I foresee her playing with this for at least another year if not longer.It's really been a lifesaver since she became mobile and hated being constrained by her jumper.I will say that I got this around the holidays for around twenty-four bucks.I think the Amazon price is a little high because, according to the packaging, this model is made just for Toys R Us.You should be able to find it for significantly less there.

It's fine, it works, it isn't unsafe. I used it without the legsfor a bit...it tends to tip if baby pulls on it too much when pulling themselves up.It's super busy with lots of lights, noises, etc.it seems a bit possessed as it goes off for no reason.I don't think this is an effective toy to teach 'cause and effect' as it claims...if you look at itfunny, it makes a new noise .I can only imagine a kid just likes the lights and sounds more than figuring out, " hey! If I push that button, I hear this song."
Speaking of noises and sounds...let's talk about the noises and sounds on this thing.Holy crap, it's hands down the single most annoying toy in my house! I cannot emphasize this enough.The singing voice used pushes me into a homocidal rage.I even turned it on to the Spanish setting hoping that would help.It didn't.
My son doesn't seem interested in it if it isn't blinking and stabbing my brain with the 10,000th rendition of 'ten little fishies' that I've heard that day.
Oh, also, the sticker came off the book within the first day or two that we used it.
So, it gets 3 stars because, while my son doesn't LOVE it, he does enjoy it but I take two stars away because it makes mommy want to throw herself out the window.:)
I would say listen to it before you purchase it and decide if it is something that will drive you insane.

I purchased this table for my son from Target. He began showing an interest in standing very early, but I made him wait until he could crawl well before I would really start supporting his standing. I had been eyeing this activity table in the store for months! I was so happy when it was time to bring it into our house! We got it one afternoon while he was visiting his aunt. When he came home, it was all set-up and waiting for him. He had the BIGGEST smile on his face when we stood him up and showed him to put the balls in the chute. The next day, I was cleaning up and I noticed some smudges in the yellow coloring, where the balls fall into the center of the table. Out of curiosity, I reached my hand into it and touched one. Turns out, it disappeared. It was dirt. It was in the track where the balls were rolling. The same balls that my child plays with, using his hands and his mouth. I had to take it out of his sight until I had a chance to disassemble it and clean it out. I have pictures of the dirt. It is pretty unacceptable and neglectful to just not clean a part. The cardboard and the top of the table were not dirty, it was only the inside. I will be much more hesitant with my Bright Starts purchases in the future.

My mother gave this toy as a gift for my son when he was 10 months old. It's become his favorite toy. He loves to walk around it and spends a lot of time dropping the ball in the middle and looking for where the ball comes out. Ir definitely encourages him to stand and cruise and I really like that it has Spanish and English options for the sound and music. GREAT toy, I don't know what we'd do without it.
