Plan Toys Plancity Stone Bridge
One more thing which you can't tell from the picture is that the male connectors on each piece are carved out of the same wood. They are integral to the larger piece, not a screwed in nob.
It's really a lovely piece and I like that there are no stickers on it. The wood is pretty. Most of our other track is from Nuchi and is very plain in that it doesn't have the subtle railroad tie, gravel impression on the Thomas tracks. Like the Nuchi, this track has no design on it.Nicely designed, solid wood bridge for train tracks. Integrates with Plan Toys and pretty much everything else. Makes a very solid, easy to play with bridge vs. the bridges on supports. Very popular with my almost two year old because she doesn't need fine motor skills to play with it. Good value. Our other favorite bridges are from Maple Landmark.

And mobile characteristics make playing chess that much less cumbersome and makes
It easy to take with you wherever you go.
I needed a larger chess board.The one my chess set came with was made of wood, but it was too small for my needs.This chess board is the right size and can be put away when not in use.

The one I ordered shipped to me from china, and was good quality. Printed square on the board, marked as expected, and seems durable. Had to let it sit out overnight on the porch so the strong vinyl odor would dissipate but seems to be fine after 24 hours. I've needed a good new board for my portable tournament set since my dog chewed up the last one. May order a second as a spare.

Gund Dog Spunky Plush Toy
From a safety perspective, they are great.The eyes are thread and there are no small pieces to come off for your kid to choke on. The stitching is very durable. They go in the regular washing machine.Mine have been washed at least 2 dozen times each and still look great.
The only small con is that they need a second ride in the dryer.This is easily the most snuggleable plushie that I've ever come across.My little one just loves it; she always sleeps with him at night, and takes him wherever we go.Definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone :)

My brother got Spunky for my daughter when she was ca. 8 months old. Now she is 6 years old and Spunky is still her favourite toy. She never ever goes to sleep without him, she takes care about him and she adores him! We have a lot of toys at home, but none of them is so important as Spunky (it is even her dog's name).Read Best Reviews of Gund Dog Spunky Plush Toy Here
My son who will be turning two next month, loves this toy. He will not go anywhere unless Spunky is with him. The toy is very soft and he loves hugging him and chewin on his nose and ears. In a room full of stuffed animals, Spunky is always his first choice. Can't go wrong with this one.Want Gund Dog Spunky Plush Toy Discount?
My daughter is 20 months old and she really loves this soft puppy. He has been her favorite since she was an infant, and she still won't go to sleep without him. He's soft and cuddly, and comes out of the washing machine looking clean as new.We have already gone through four of these puppies (only because we tend to lose them, plus we keep one at daycare for naptime and one at home). One of the best things about this dog is that he is easy to replace if you're prone to losing toys like we are! We can always find a quick replacement at a nearby toystore, at Babies R Us, or on Amazon.

I echo others that the pucks are hard for the kids to keep up with. A sealed pocket to keep them in the board would have been an improvement.
Music and sound will drive you bonkers. Needs volume control and/or option to play in "silent mode".

My boys (2 & 4) got this as a Christmas gift. I think that it is a well made and fun toy. They boys will play it for a 1/2 hour or more and have lots of fun with it. The air works well and the puck moves easily. My only complaint about it is the music and sound. It is really annoying and loud. We put a sticker over the speaker and it is much more enjoyable now. I personally like the automatic shutoff sinc emy boys tend to walk away from toys and leave them on.

Purchased from EToys for Christmas 2006. After less than 6 uses, air compressor stops working. Swapped batteries, tripled checked (DH is an engineer). CAlled Hasbro. They kindly send us a prepaid postage sticker, we send it back.
NEw one arrives in late January. Deader than a doornail. Swap for new batteries. Call customer service again. They kindly send us a prepaid postage sticker, we send it back.
New one shows up 2 weeks later (CS provided expedited replacement). Unit #3 had "dead spots" where air compressor is not pushing out enough pressure to push puck.
By now, DH has had it and refuses to disassemble and send back Unit #3 (its a huge effort, they design it so it does not disassemble without a man's full strength) so we throw it away.
Great toy but don't buy it you might get lucky but looking at the reviews, you have a 50% chance of receiving something that does not work or works for less than 2 weeks, in my experience.

My kids received this as a Christmas present.It didn't work straight out of the box.My husband tested the electronics, too technical for me, but basically the fan wouldn't turn on because something electrical was screwed up.I shipped it back to Hasbro (we're APO, I can't return it to a store) and after reading all the other reviews I hope they send me a new toy instead of replacing this one.At least Hasbro seems to be good about replacing their items that are defective.I've had to return items before because they were broken out of the box and it's always been a hassle free experience.

Shame on Disney for attaching their name to this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse play set.I agree with everything written in the previous review.I purchased this toy from Disneystore.com for Christmas 2011 for my daughter since Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is her favorite show.I had a coupon and still paid $47.60 (can't remember what the original price was).I have, until now, been thrilled with every purchase I've made from the Disney Store.This toy is not up to standards and I can tell that it will fall apart and be trash with in six months of play.Some parts like the Toodles cards and the elevator already don't work well after only a few days of play.This play set is NOT MATTEL.We have the Mickey Mouse Rocket play set by Mattel and it is great!This play set is by Famosa, a Spanish company.A quick list of some, not all, of the disappointing things about this toy:
-Overpriced and poorly made.
-Does not come ready to play with.
-Requires three batteries: 2 AA (easy enough since I always have these on hand) and 1 AG13 (WHAT?!)
-Will take you approximately 30 minutes to an hour to assemble.
-Then will start breaking immediately when your child starts to play with it.
The only thing good about this toy are the figurines with articulated shoulders and hips so they can sit and move their arms.Otherwise, Disney, I feel duped having purchased this toy and would like my money back.
*********************************************************************
Update: January 11, 2011
After 2-1/2 weeks of play, one of the ears keeps falling off.We've discovered that the lever that makes Toodles sounds only has one recording.Also, there are learning cards (which in the end aren't very educational) that rip when we put them in and pull them out of the learning card slot.This happens because the slot is not properly lined up with the plastic housing.My daughter ripped a few but so have my husband and myself.This toy should cost no more than about $20 in my opinion.
I did write my complaints in to the disneystore.com.Since my purchase was outside of the return window, they said they could not take the toy back (excuse me for getting my Christmas shopping done early!).They did offer me a $10 gift card.I guess they did not have to offer me anything but a mere $10 is really not enough to make me happy after spending close to $50 (with coupon) on this poorly made product.

It must really be bad if I have taken the time to write a review of this product. This is a piece of Junk.The fact that Disney would even allow their name to be used with it is amazing.A lot of the parts don't fit together and when the kids are playing with it, it consistantly falls apart.Stickers don't fit and it has very small parts that fall off making it unsafe for smaller children.Save your money and buy something else.Disney, I am ashamed of the products you have chosen to represent your company.Gund Dalmatian Medium 14" Plush

ECR4Kids Mobile Organizer
UP DATE:
The frame of the cart has slowly deformed, bowing out so that now the drawers drop out of the slides. For this, I would lower my rating to only three stars if I could.
I am also going to try to bring the frame back to true and will update the review with my progress.
Original Review:
I bought this organizer cart to organize the family legos (we have about 50 pounds of legos). This cart is working perfectly for its purpose. That is why I have given it 4 stars. Below is a more detailed review.
Looks I like the way it looks, very neat. A lot more attractive then the all-plastic drawer units from Sterilite.
Efficiency love it. This unit packs a lot of storage into a very small footprint.
Quality pretty good for $100 dollars, but this is not a piece of heirloom furniture.
Not hard to put together. Everything fits, the drawers slide easily and are designed with a "stop" so that when you are putting them back you can't accidentally push them all the way through the frame. I have loaded the drawers with Lego bricks and small toys, like matchbox cars, and so far no problems.
In comparison, I have a similar piece from Ikea with plastic boxes as drawers and a wood frame (Trofast). In the Ikea piece if you put anything with any real weight into the drawers, for instance, the matchbox cars, they deform slightly and pop out of the wooden frame, and then twist and bind. Very frustrating for my little boy.
On the other hand, the cart is quite lightly built. It won't take a lot of abuse and does not really give you a work surface. The frame is made of very thin steel pipes, screwed together, and the steel top is also very lightweight -it is perforated, for some reason, too. So don't plan on putting a microwave on this thing. I have used it to assemble a lego model -that it can handle, but not much more. I don't expect it to last a lifetime, either. The frame is not braced in any way and I expect it will begin to "rack" after a couple of years. I would not plan on putting heavy items in this cart and then rolling it around a lot.
In short, whether or not I would recommend this piece depends entirely on what you are planning to store in it and how muchyou are planning to move it around. If you are looking for a kitchen cart that can take a lot of weight and a lot of abuse, this is not the piece for you. If you are trying to put away a large quantity of relatively light-weight craft items or toys, this unit is hard to beat for making efficient use of a small space.

I purchased this to use in my classroom for math manipulatives.It has worked fine, but the drawers are difficult for my 4th graders to use.We remove the drawers during math time.When kids go to put them back in the tracks, they have some difficulty placing them in.It is also a bit unstable.Ihave had to tighten the bolts a few times in the two weeks that I had it before summer vacation.I hope it lasts longer than a few years because the cost was a bit high.It would be great for a home storage solution, rather than at a school where it gets high usage.I bought two for my kids' art supplies, I am in love with them, I am buying another one for my son's Legos. Very easy to assemble!I have this next to my computer desk and use it to store medicine, make-up, hair brushes, stamps, warranties, CDs, chocolate, cat treats, curtain ties, screwdrivers, photographs, etc. It is rather lightweight, and I would probably break it if I sat on it, but I have chairs so everything is going to be OK. It was easy to put together and the rainbow colors are fun.
VTech - Paint and Learn Art Easel
The picture given is the amazon page is slightly different from how it looks actually. I think this is due to Vtech constantly improving their toys. My one year old got this as a gift. She loves it. she keeps spinning the spinner and plays with the pen a lot.
Also this toy has a lot of potential to carry the interest up to 3 or 4 years. It has music and lights, piano, 1 learning card. One side teaches numbers, the other side teaches letters. When you do not use the card, it has shapes by default. My daughter has not explored even 50% of this toy. So she is going to have even more fun playing and learning with it in the coming months..
Last thing to add, it works perfectly (unlike what other reviewer said). It does not tip over easily unless you push it down.

My then 9 month old got this toy for Christmas. I had to have this for her because it looked like so much fun. I admit that I expected a little more from this toy, but I still really like it. It is set up like an easel, and has an interactive page that "clips" onto the easel. It teaches letters A-E, colors, etc.There is a "paintbrush" that is used for touching the different colors, etc. to hear the talking and singing based on that particular item. It is a cute toy. I wish my baby liked it a little more, though. It does seem to be a durable toy, as she likes to bang the paintbrush against the easel repeatedly, especially when mad. I do like this toy, the only thing I wish it had is more letters and numbers to learn. I also bought this for a cousin, and plan to buy one for my nephew, so I do recommend it!

I have not had the same issues as the other reviewer of this product. My son is 17 months and seems to like this toy quite a bit. He is not able to interchange the easle pages on his own yet though. He also quickly learned that you don't need to use the wand to make the toy work.
The animals used to represent the ABC's are strange in my opinion. For "A" they use Ant, "C"caterpillar, "D" dragonfly. The only animal my son recognizes is the "B"Bee. I think Cat and Dog would be more appropriate for this age group. Nonetheless, this toy been a source of entertainment for my son. If you can find it on sale, I would recommend this toy.Got this for my niece who is only 14 months old. SHE LOVES IT!! Plays with it all the time. Keys are big for her, lights up, makes noises, she dances to the music. Overall a great buy! Highly recommend.

Dinosaur Train Time Tunnel Mountain Set
That said, my kids love this thing.I have found that by putting it up on a table the track stays in tact much longer.On a side note, it fits perfectly on the tabletop of a Step2 train table.My kids love love that this toy plays little bits of the Dinosaur Train theme song.Despite all of its annoying problems this toy has entertained my kids for long stretches of time.
Had I paid $50 for this toy I would have been outraged with its quality.Since I picked it up on clearance at a local store for $13 I feel like the toy is a decent value.
It really is a shame that more thought and care wasn't put into the construction of these Dinosaur Train toys.Many, many kids love that show and if the toys were made with better attention to quality their sales would probably triple.This is the first time I have ever written a review but I could not resist because this toy is awful! As soon as I took it out of the box a lone tiny screw fell out, original location of this screw is unknown. The engine car needs batteries but I couldn't screw the battery cover shut, DANGEROUS! The tracks will NOT stay together and the legs of the mountains constantly pop off. I have had this toy for less than 24 hours and it is going back TODAY! Please do not take the chance with this product as it is such a disappointment to my son.

OK, so I had the same problems many reviewers mentioned. The track would come apart during play and my 2 1/2 year old would ask me to fix it. I noticed that it would primarily come apart at the risers. And while the risers have little raised pegs for the track to clip on to, the track would nevertheless often disconnect there. I added a little super glue to those areas and PROBLEM SOLVED! The tracks remain nicely attached to the risers and seldom come apart where the track lies flat. That issue aside, we're running some Thomas trains on this set in addition to the dinosaur train and my little guy is having lots of fun! Would recommended with SUPER GLUE added :).Read Best Reviews of Dinosaur Train Time Tunnel Mountain Set Here
+After reading everyone elses reviews and my daughter loving Dinosaur Train, I decided not to get this set, but my parents turned up with it for my daughters birthday. Original price on the box was $119AUS but we got it on sale for $59AUS.Firstly trying to set it up, the parts underneath the mountain had to be forced to click in, other than that it was ok to set up.
Like everyone else has commented the tracks CONSTANTLY come apart and the train just rides off the track most of the time when it comes down the hill, then on the straight part...it is absolutely annoying!
I think just before the train goes through the tunnel a red switch on the track is supposed to activate something but it doesnt work.
We have got heaps of the small figures and extra carriages and if you put an extra carriage on with figures in it, it struggles to get up the hill.
If it was worth $30 then you get what you pay for but $59AUS is too steep & if my parents had of paid $119AUS I would be taking it back.
Dont find it educational, but if it worked would have been fine.*/

This toy looks good, but is horribly disappointing. The track constantly comes apart. The time tunnel only worked for a few minutes. This toy will not outlast a 3 year old. My little son can easily operate this toy, but if he interacts at all with it, the track falls apart. I spend all my time frustrated re-assembling. Felt like i Flushed my 50 bucks down the toilet!!!! Only gave one star since you cant give it ZERO!
But on the flip side the TV show is awesome.

I wanted to be sure to add my 2 cents since previous reviewers had certain issues.It is true that the ball is very hard to unstick from the mitts.However, as it gets played with more and broken in, it becomes easier to unstick.My 3 and 5 year old daughters have no problems after a few hours of use.It was an Easter present and yes, did get played with for hours today.My girls, especially the 3 year old, were thrilled that they could play catch and actually catch the ball due to the strength of the attachment between ball and Velcro mitt.Perfect!Can't vouch for it's longevity just yet, but seems to be the perfect addition to our arsenal of outdoor toys.And at just over $10 I wouldn't really expect this to last forever.
I think the size/weight of the ball is perfect...pretty much a tennis ball.Any smaller and people would complain it's a dinky toy.I was a little surprised by how hard the ball for this toy was.I did not give it to my nieces to play with.It seems like it would hurt if it someone's head.
Mini Green TOY Soldiers U.s. Army Men Play War Kids Toys Boys
They are definitely tall and chunky compared to 1:72/HO/OO scales and look pretty big next to IMEX, really big next to Airfix or Italeri.
But hey, people aren't all the same size either, and for this price, you really can't lose.
If you're looking to fill out the ranks of your 20 mm/thereabouts army for cheap and you're not too anal about scale, these are perfect.

These are tiny green men, much smaller than the classic Army Men I was expecting. Shame on me for not reading the product description closely enough. However, they were also crumbling. The figurines were stuffed into a small plastic bag which, when opened, caused army men to explode all over the table, along with pieces of figurines that had been crushed. Poor, poor quality.Read Best Reviews of Mini Green TOY Soldiers U.s. Army Men Play War Kids Toys Boys Here
Some of you looking at this product are tabletop gamers, wondering whether these would be a good stand-in for standard gaming miniatures.
First off, what you get is about a hundred figures, about half WWII soldiers, about half science fiction.There are three or four poses of each.The pieces are a little rough, with significant mold lines, but hey at four cents each, that's not so bad.Now, as to size they actually vary a little.Some 'poses' are a little larger than others.They average just about the size of a classic 25mm miniature.I put them next to some of my classic Ral Partha pieces and they just about match, depending on the individual pose.They look a little small next to a modern 28mm 'heroic' scale figure, but if you're just throwing them out there as extras, they're in the right scale range.
Very much worth the four bucks and various cents.

I bought these over some of the other listings because of the amount I would get (144 pieces). Unfortunately, I either missed it in the description or it was not written that the soldiers were 1 inch tall. I was sure as a kid they were much taller. Nonetheless, my son likes his army men and they take up about half our dining room table when he plays. For the price, it was a really good buy.
