The Land Before Time 14" Plush Littlefoot

The Land Before Time 14' Plush LittlefootI was so excited when I saw this, my 3 year old loves the Land Before Time movies.I bought it for $9.99 and the seller charged $6.99 for shipping, quite high, but like I said I was very excited to purchase this for my kiddo.When we received the product, I can't tell you how disappointed we were with the quality and the look of this toy.It looks nothing like Littlefoot, it is kind of a cross between Duckie, Cera and maybe a little bit Littlefoot.The description says "plush" so I was thinking of other stuffed animals I had purchased.Let me tell you this is nothing like those.It reminds me of something you get out of those claw machines.It is very cheaply made, and not plush at all.It is made out of an extremely thin material, nothing like a cozy stuffed animal.

When I contacted the seller about our disappointment, they offered to take it back for a refund, less the shipping I would pay to send it back as well as the shipping I had already paid to get it.That would cost more than the thing is worth, so I choose not to send it back.We are now stuck with this and very disappointed.We will not be giving this to our son.Don't waste your money!

It's tiny...not quite in the same class and feeling of the original Littlefoot animal.It is soft and seems to be well made.

Little Tikes Thomas & Friends Classic Table & Chairs Set

Little Tikes Thomas & Friends Classic Table & Chairs SetThe table and chair set is no different than any other plastic chair set sold by Little Tikes, the only difference is the stickers you stick on the back of the chairs and Thomas design on the table top. The chairs are too light and I would need to find a way to weigh it down so my 2 1/2 year old won't topple over. The Thomas table top is not attached firmly and as the other reviewer mentioned, small food particles and such easily get trapped under making it difficult to clean. I basically paid for the Thomas table top and the 4 stickers on the chairs. Nothing extraordinary about this set at all.

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas.He loved it.He is 2 and kept saying "Oh Wow".Just the reaction I wanted.

It is sturdy and no assembly required.

I recommend it.

Scrabble Crossword Game

Scrabble Crossword GameI'm guessing you didn't come here for a review of the game Scrabble itself, unless you've been living on another planet for the last century. Scrabble is great, always one of my favorites, and a highly recommended game for literally everyone. With that said, this is the version you'll buy if you just want a cheap, simple, low budget type to give to your kids or to give as a gift or award for something. There's nothing terrible about it, but there's nothing great there either. The board is flimsy, the tiles don't always match each other, and the material is simply cheap. It will get the job done just fine, but you're getting what you pay for here.

This game is so much fun!Even my mom who hates to play games with me, will play this game!I like this game because everyone can play it!Fun and educational at the same time as you learn to build words and you can even use it to show how to use a word and grow from it.I think this game is worth the money they charge.My only regret is that I didn't get one with a turn table luckily my mom had one from the 70's and we use it.My advise buy this game!

OK, I admit I'm a nerd, and proud of it, actually.Board games were always a standard activity in my family, and became so with my friends in high school as well.Consequently, I brought a large number of board games with me to college--and made most of my friends freshman year by having them come to my room to play.Scrabble has the advantage of having very few rules to learn, and extreme durability.

This is one of my favorite games.It is also an excellent way to enrich one's vocabulary.To this day I recommend using a dictionary when you play just to be sure no neologisms sneak in.Still, the extent to which other players will try to win can be as fun as the game itself.I love this game!

Scrabble is a word game that anybody can play as long as they can spell in the language in which the game is being played. It can be a lot of fun but it's wise to have a dictionary at hand to settle disputes that arise when somebody creates a dubious word or spelling. The dictionary should only be used to settle disputes leafing through its pages trying to find a word that fits your letters is definitely cheating. The game is intended to be played by between two and four players but it is possible to practise alone and I'll explain how later, though it isn't as much fun as playing against another person. If more than four people are available, they can either team up or just find something else to use instead of racks to hold the tiles.

Scrabble comes in various editions but all of them have certain things in common. There are 100 tiles each with a letter on them, four racks (one to hold each payer's tiles) and a bag into which all tiles are placed at the start of the game and from which all players draw letters as the game progresses. The main playing area is a board of 15 x 15 squares, most of which are of a standard gray color. Some squares are red, pink, dark blue or pale blue these are premium-scoring squares (triple word, double word, triple letter, double letter respectively). NOTE as somebody pointed out in a comment on this review, it is now possible to buy a larger version with more tiles and a board with more squares, but I was unaware of this when I wrote my review.

To begin with, each player draws seven tiles from the bag. The first player makes a word from any or all of their letters and places it on the board, beginning, ending or crossing the central square, which automatically gives them a double word score. (it is pink) and replaces the used tiles with a corresponding number of tiles from the bag. Subsequently, players take turns to create a new word (thereby building a crossword on the board), attempting to score as many points as possible. Any tiles added must all form part of one word and link to tiles already on the board but strategy as well as vocabulary is useful.

Most of the time, you just place letters focusing on an existing tile on the board, using that tile as part of the word you create, However, if you have a letter S in your rack, you may be able to add it to the end of an existing word while also using it as part of a word of your own, if there is clear room on the board for you to do so. Thus, you score for your own word but you also score for the word that you made into a plural. This is just one example of how you can (sometimes) score for more than one word while sticking to the rules, but it teaches you not to waste S letters keep them for when they can be most effectively used.

When there are no more tiles in the bag, play continues until one player uses up all their tiles or nobody is able to. At that point, points on unused tiles still in players' racks are deducted from their score.

To play alone is quite simple, if less satisfying. The object is to score as many points as possible. Obviously, scoring is much easier since you can build the crossword in a very open design you aren't trying to block your opponents but if you find that those opponents usually beat you, a bit of practice on your own might improve your chances of beating them in future.

So, if you decide to buy Scrabble, it comes down to deciding whether to buy the Deluxe edition (if you can afford it), the Travel edition (for taking away from home with you) or the standard edition. Just make sure you have that dictionary at hand to settle disputes, otherwise it won't be much fun.

Creatology Wood Puzzle DOLLHOUSE FURNITURE

Creatology Wood Puzzle DOLLHOUSE FURNITUREI bought this set at micheals craft store for alot less. I bought it to go in the matching dollhouse. It was very easy to assemble. Its also pretty sturdy. I let my best freinds kids play with it (2,5,9) and its still in great condition. Wonderful gift!

I bought my daughter a wooden dollhouse for her 4th birthday and wanted some wood furniture to go along with it. I had looked at Loving Family Dollhouse plastic furniture, but it was just too expensive, so I came across the Creatology Dollhouse Furniture. Yes, as many others have stated, there are lots of pieces. It took me roughly 4 hours to complete everything, but I wasn't pressed for time, so I did all this while watching TV.Although it does not come with step by step instructions for each individual piece, the diagram on the back is pretty self explainatory when it comes to which pieces go together. Do not punch all the pieces out. Start with one piece of furniture and work/punch out pieces as you go along.I used wood glue when putting the pieces together, since my daughter would be using them to play with, I wanted it to be secure.Overall, a great product, and I enjoyed the challenge of it. Just make sure you allow yourself at least 2 hours to complete this project.

Okay, the good news, it is virtually a 3-d puzzle in which most of the parts go together and stay together without glue, though in the long run you are better off utilizing that susbstance.The parts are pretty understandable, though I don't understand the apparatus known visually as a sink and frig combination.(maybe that is just a sink and there is no frig and why isn't there a frig?Otherwise it comes with six rooms of furniture includng a lawn chair, a piano, baby high chair and rocking chair.I bought 2 sets at $5 dollars each at Michaels 2 years ago.You can put the fantasy puzzle house and furniture kit for $20 on ebay, right now (March 14, 2012)

Bad News!There are folks on-line including amazon that are selling the kit way over its value.

Madeline: 10" Miss Clavel Poseable Doll

Madeline: 10' Miss Clavel Poseable DollWhat a wonderful doll, such detail with the clothes and her hair all braided and pinned up. The clothes are very durable, the first day we got peanut butter on it and it withstood a good washing. My 4 year old is fascinated by this doll and how much she looks like the character in the books and videos. This doll is essential for the dollhouse, my daughter said who else is going to watch the 12 little girls? We are glad we added Ms. Clavel to our dollhouse. Very poseable. Katelyn just adores her.



It was very hard to find anywhere but so glad that we got this!!!

Gund Pookie Pals - Bears sold individually

Gund Pookie Pals - Bears sold individuallyBack in Sept 2012 my then 2 yr old son was hospitalized with Kawasaki disease. They had these in the gift shop. He hasn't put it down since. He has to sleep with "cute bear" and his blankie which he named " gucky"I don't know what I will do when and if cute bear ever bites the dust. He is no longer soft and fluffy. But is very well loved.



This bear is way smaller than I had imagined.I was expecting it to be small but maybe the size of a grapefruit.They are the size of a childs fist and the body is not very fluffy.It looks like a bear that would come with a baby doll.Not worth the price even if it is a Gund.

Kikkerland Dog Stapler, Black (ST07-BK)

Kikkerland Dog Stapler, Black
  • Dog shaped stapler
  • Black painted steel with chrome accents
  • Fits standard staples (not included)
  • Measures 7.45 x 2.75 x 1-Inch

I had a stapler like this when I lived in Europe, I liked it a lot more than the traditional American design, it just takes up less space. I was happy to see that I could get one again and ordered it. Just what you'd expect, simple and easy to use, seems to be made of good quality materials.

I bought this stapler in February and loved it at first, it is now June and has stopped working properly. Every time I try to use it, it tries to push out two staples at the same time and gets locked up even though I am using the same standard staples that I always have. As another reviewer mentioned, you cannot get into the guts to fix it. So I remove the staples with pliers and try again, but same problem. I will be getting rid of it and going back to an old fashioned stapler.

I bought this cute little stapler at the Container Store, to take to college with me.I've used it twice, and it worked great until a staple got jammed inside.As far as I can tell, there is no way to get inside the staple "chamber", and my stapler is now useless.I have now spent a half-hour trying everything I can think of to get the staple out and have made no progress.If you happen to have a extremely long pair of needle-nosed pliers sitting around your house you should have no problems with this stapler.I'm disappointed.

I work in retail and I am constantly stapling receipts to customers bags.I've had three of these for a little over a month now and they work great. I just wish the handles were a little longer.I have big hands and this stapler is a little short for me.Also, the capacity of it is about 100 staples.Overall, it's not bad for the price.

Goldar, Barbarian Hero

Goldar, Barbarian HeroThis is the FIRST miniature I ever bought. It is to add/replace pawns in my HeroQuest game. I liked how Goldar looked: a Fearsome Barbarian. ⊙_☉

He's heavy... the original barbarian weighs 0.125 oz. Goldar weighs 1.125 oz. The Reaper packaging says P-65 Heavy Metal, so common sense says that's why he's heavy (◠‿◠)

He seems sturdy. I think we'll get a lot of use out of him before too much wear and tear shows on him. I did notice that we'll need to be mindful of his ax on account of the metal material being a bit soft -reminds me of pewter. Perhaps that is the "P" ???

I look forward to painting him. Meanwhile, I guess he is the Stone Barbarian! I definitely see myself purchasing more Reaper brand minis.

9/13 Edit: I was just surfing the web and noticed Wikipedia's entry on Reaper's minis; I was right about the "P"I know, you guys with RPG knowledge already knew that! But I'm a clueless newbie, and we gotta start somewhere. (◠‿◠) "Reaper Miniatures is an American manufacturer of pewter figurines in the 25-35 mm scale, which include fantasy and science fiction figures."

Fisher-Price Geotrax Rail and Road System Grand Central Station

Fisher-Price Geotrax Rail and Road System Grand Central StationWe started collecting Geotrax 2 years ago.My only complaint was that the trains did not go in reverse.I'm glad to see that 'problem' was solved with this new addition to the geotrax system.

I originally bought the geotrax toys for my 3 year old son who loved trains.He absolutely loved it.What I did not expect was that my 9 year old and 11 year old girls would also like to design tracks and play with it. It does take up a lot of room if you start adding on to the set. We have ours set up in the basement and it gets played with several times a day.My 4 year old is great a designing tracks, he especially likes to use the elevation sets to make double decker tracks.The system is so easy to use I don't have to help mush at all.

We also have a few of the Thomas train sets. I have to say the boys do like to play with this set as well but it requires a lot more adult help.The tracks can only go together one way and the boys now 4 1/2 and 3 have problems getting it together.But they do like the fact the the trains are the same as on TV.The Thomas set was used so seldom at home that we donated it to grandmas house where it is a treat to get to play with it.The Geo trax set still ranks #1 with my kids.



This is an amazing complete set, the remote control is great and the reverse addittion also. Really easy to asemble so my 1 and 1/2 years son can play completely alone.

I wouldn't say this toy is for educational use but it is loads of fun for a child who loves trains. My son loves all his Geotrax sets and plays with them on a daily basis, including this one. This is one toy I don't mind taking up my entire living room!..............

We bought this set four years ago when my son was 3. Now he (7 yrs) and his 4 yr old sister play with it together. Beware it's big, but lots of fun. The kids use creativity to design the sets, but most times I'm down on the floor lending support. I also like that year after year the grandparents could buy the smaller track for a reasonable price and the kids were never disappointed. The neighbors, cousins, friends all gravitate to the set when they are here. We break it down every few days/weeks, store it in a huge storage container and it tucks away in the toy closet. Only one of the one-thousand pieces ever broke (it was our fault) and we glued it back together. Love this toy, but watch out. Some of the units were on recall for lead paint.

Bright Starts Around We Go Activity Station, Tropical Fun

Bright Starts Around We Go Activity Station, Tropical FunI bought this for my son when he was 5 months old.It was relatively easy to put together, and he loves the toys and loves running around the base.At first, his feet barely touched the floor while sitting in it, and he could barely get around the base.Now that he's 6 1/2 months old, he's running around the base.He's not a big kid ... average for his height and below average for weight.He weighs 14 lbs.He's skinny and wiry.Now when I put him in the seat he's dragging the whole unit across my floor.I thought it would be heavy enough to stay put.Even when I put the lock on the seat, he's able to drag it around the room.The rubber bumpers don't help.He pulls it across my tiled kitchen floor as well as my living room rug.If I want to continue using this, I'll need to figure out a way to weigh it down.The column is hollow, so I may try taking it apart and putting something heavy inside.Other than that, I like the idea of this product and the toys are great.



I bought this for my very active daughter when she was 6 months old.For the first time, she finally entertained herself longer than 5 minutes.When I first put her in it, she was so delighted to be able to "walk" she just walked in circles for 10 minutes straight.Then she discovered the toys and played even longer.The second time we put her in it, my husband and I were eating dinner at the same time together--for the first time in months--and he looked at me and said "I would pay $5,000 for that thing."Now, at 12 months, she still loves this toy, without the seat, as an activity center.I have had no problems with it tipping over--I can't say anything negative about this product.I would recommend it to anyone as a life saver.

I highly recommend this product!It provides lots of entertainment for a baby even

as young as 5 months, which is when I first rcv'd this as a gift.It has been the

best gift ever.My baby loves to "walk" around and around in the seat and now at 7 1/2

months he has started running around in circles.He loves all the toys and chews on

them as well, which are great for teething.The toys are also interchangeable

and if he/she should get bored, you can purchase new ones and keep it new.

The piano on this toy is also fabulous. This is a great purchase whether it's for your

own baby or as a gift.Thumbs up on this one!

My 6 month old is playing in his activity go round right now. He loves it. His favorites seem to be the piano and the little spinning dolphin. This must be a newer version, because there are no strings w/ fish attached, like I've read on other reviews, so the makers must have realized the hazard and removed it. We haven't had any problems with it yet at all. It took my son a few days to realize that he can walk around it, but now he does it like a champ. Lot's of fun, and I would recommend it over the excersaucer simply because when he outgrows one function of it, we can just remove the seat and he still has an activity table. My only complaint is against Amazon. When I ordered it, it was at full price. The next day it went on sale, 25% off (or almost $20 less). I called to see if I could get the sale price (I hadn't even received the item yet!) and they would not do it. So rude! Anyway, what I did was ordered it again at the sale price, and refused the first shipment, sent it back to them. They credited my account for the first purchase, and I just had to wait an extra 2 days to get the next shipment. I dont get their new policy, but whatever, I still got the discount in the end, just took a little longer. To sum it up, yes, I'm very happy with the product, and my baby loves it!

At first my twin daughters enjoyed this enter esp. walking around part. One day I discovered my girls had scraped some paint off the toys with their teeth. I didn't know the toys were even painted until then or I would not have allowed this toy in my home at all! Thought it was colore dplastic integrated into the toy like many other activity centers.I don't care if the paint is "safe" who wants their tiny baby to ingest paint and why would a baby toy be painted. BOO hiss to Bright starts for this terrible design, like we parents don't have enough worries in raising babies in a safe environment.

Bachmann Rail Chief Ready To Run Electric Train Set - Ho Scale

Bachmann Rail Chief Ready To Run Electric Train Set - Ho Scale
  • Complete ready to run train set
  • Powered by a EMD GP40 diesel locomotive with operating headlight
  • HO Scale
  • Includes steel roadbed track
  • Great first time set

Like most scale train sets, this is a model first and a toy second. I would not suggest it for children as the track and train are both delicate, not through poor construction, but simply BECAUSE they are models. That aside, the detail in this Bachmann set is phenomenalit harkens back to the quality of old HO sets Lionel used to make. The BNSF runs a line not more than a quarter mile from my home, and looking out the window I can see GP40's just like the one in this set run by with the very same livery. The tracks were easy to put together and consistently built. As with most small-scale train sets, the cars are a bit tricky to put on the rails at first, but after doing it a few times it becomes easy. The set comes with a few bags of road/rail signs, people, and power poles, which are pretty cheap and basically painted, if at all, but are a nice touch for a beginning modeler (or someone who wants a train for their Christmas tree like me). Also included is a signal tower which straddles the trackit's snap together but glue will hold it better. Overall, a great deal for an starter set from the go-to name for HO scale trains.
