10" Pieta Figurine
I bought this for my mom as a gift for Mothers Day. I know the traditional statue is all white but this was so beautiful. Needless to say when she recieved it she was in tears and agreed with me on the realism in the colors. Very well made and looks like it costs much more than what I paid. I highly recommend this beautiful piece of art.
although the original figure was designed by Michelangelo made of white marble, I think he does not disappoint with this color version. The piece is simply beautiful! despite the large size it is not heavy. It was a gift for my mother and she just loved. The piece came well packaged which avoided damage during delivery.Saw the Pieta at a Gift Shop for $55.00.When I went back to purchase it, it was gone.Found this online for same price.This one was exactly the same including coloring but twice the size.Very pleased with it and love the size as you can appreciate the detail of Michaelangelos work.
Cars 2 11" Lightning McQueen Plush
Beautiful and soft. High quality make and fabric. My son throws it around and abuses it and has a roughhouse time with it and it's holding together great. Nice detailed embroidery. Excellent plush!
My son likes this plush.He's really into cars and trains and plays with this plush occasionally.At 2.5 years, he prefers cars that have wheels that he can move.But he does sometimes want to take this plush on trips (ie, in the car ride over to grandma's house).It is made well (no ripped seams or bleeding colors) but I have to give it only 4 stars because my son doesn't play with it that often.

Eclipse Board Game
Our local game shop hosts a weekly board game night.My group goes up there and usually does our own thing, but one week they were featuring this game.I kept watching the people play Ecliipse as we played ours.It looked massive, intimidating, and epically fun.I read some reviews and the rule book and called our group together this past Saturday to play.It took us about 2 hours to set up the board and go over the rules.Then for 4 of us, it took 4 hours to play our first game.But that time went by so quickly.It never felt like I was just sitting there waiting for my next turn.There is plenty to discuss, interact, and think about while you wait to take an action.Combat is absolutely thrilling.Who knew dice rolling could increase the heart rate so?There's just so many strategies to employ.To be honest, I never really tracked my victory points through the nine rounds.I just kind of did my thing and it all came out in the wash, so to speak.We got a group back together Sunday night to play, this time with six.We were right at 45 min per player for our second game.The rules really aren't that complicated.Every player has a player mat with a human or alien.There is one master game mat where supplies are kept too.Space is a series of hexes that are drawn at random, another feature that makes the game different every time.The sectors are connected via wormholes for travel, and there may be ancient technology or an ancient cruiser to fight when you discover it!Each round consists of four phases.You have an action phase where each player chooses one of six actions, each of which costs you a little money.The more actions you take, the more it costs you.You have to balance your income vs your spending.Bankruptcy will lose you the game.So will you explore a new sector of space, colonize a sector of space, build ships or structures, research new technology, upgrade your ships, or move them into offensive or defensive positions?So many choices.Everyone keeps going around making these choices until you decide you can't stretch yourself any more or can't afford further actions.Along the way, you're populating planets to get the resources of money, science, or materials.These are what you use to maintain your empire, research new technologies, and build things, respectively.
Once everyone has passed, you enter combat phase.This is so elegant.Earlier, you could upgrade ships with missiles, cannons, hulls, shields, targeting computers, drives, etc.But you can't exceed your ship's energy source (which you can upgrade, of course.)A 6 is an automatic hit; a 1 an automatic miss.Anything in between can be modified with targeting computers and shields.If the math adds up to 6, you hit.Who gets to roll first is determined by the initiative of the ships, which fluctuates depending on your upgrades.You fight until one side is eliminated, then each side is rewarded for glorious battle by drawing random victory points.These are really the only secret part of your total at endgame.
After all combat, players perform upkeep of their civilization.You adjust your money based on your income and expenses, as well as collect science and material resources.Finally, players enter into cleanup phase, where new technologies to be researched are drawn and all actions are reset.Nine rounds (of action, combat, upkeep, cleanup) later, whoever has the most VPs wins!
Sure it is a long game, but it is engaging and fun the entire time.We'll--and you'll--get better at preparing for your turn each round which is the largest time sync.As new players, expect that to take longer as you weigh all your options.
You will need a LARGE table to play this game.The pieces themselves are durable.The ships didn't have to be popped out of plastic treys, thankfully.We all wished there was a better player mat, though. Something with a little structure to it to more securely hold the discs and cubes.It is nice that details on the player mats give a clue as to what each action entails by just a simple picture, so that we didn't have to keep going back to the rulebook to remember.(E.g. the move action has 3 arrows, which signify you get 3 movements.)I also wish there was a trey to hold all the ship upgrades in the box.That takes 10-15 min alone to sort out and get on the game supply board.The rulebook is thorough and we were able to address pretty much all issues that arose during gameplay.(You know how some crazy situations can come up that some rules don't address; not the case for Eclipse.)Expect to miss a few details in your first play through, but then read the rules again after you know what everything looks like in a real game.Then the details will start popping out, some rules you may have missed will now make sense, and you can fine tune your gameplay.The things we missed were minor and wouldn't have affected the outcome much.
If you consider yourself a hardcore board gamer, are a participant of a game group, or just love epic adventures, Eclipse will absolutely not let you down.Speaking for myself and my group, this shot up on our favorites list very quickly.
The random affect two parts of the game, the first one is the exploration, you can have a really bad start compared to others but the game still allows you to make up for it and win the game and that is a very good feature.
Second part is dice rolling, yes you can have bad luck but not as much as with Risk for example.
Because you can always adapt your space ship to the enemy you are facing.Yes you can still roll a bunch of ones and loose but you can tilt the odds in your favor very easily.
Overall the game is awesome, VERY easy to learn.
The rules are very logical and we did not find a situation that the rules did not cover.
The resume at the back of the instruction manual is a very nice feature.
The game offers a lot of possibility and strategy, even if you think you're behind you can still rake up a lot of points with a few good moves.
The only "drawback" for this game is the large quantity of parts.Make sure you don't have a cat that likes to jump on the table because he's gonna ruin the game.There are lots of pieces every where.They are very easy to manage though and you are never lost in the quantity but it does take some time to set up the game and clean after it.A nice feature is that the game includes a lot of plastic bags, more then you really need so you can arrange everything for faster setup.
Secondly the game does take a lot of table space especially if someone is exploring the 3rd sector straight away from the galactic center.With 6 players you definitely need a big table because the player boards to they some space too and you can't simply put them on a chair by your side because other players need to see it to see how much resources you get, you victory points so far and upgrades are on your ship.
You don't start a game of this if you have 15min to kill.They suggest 30min per player but that is with very well experienced player.For us it is more around 45min per player and it make take longer toward the last turns.
But you don't have the feeling of all this time.Like for example in World of Warcraft the board game a turn can take 15 minutes or more if the players starts to check at the item pile to make a combo with their skill or if they have more then one combat.In Eclipse a turn is a combination of a lot of small actions and every one is taking small actions one after the other so this make the game run smoothly with very small amount of down time.Normally by the time you plan your next action it is your turn again to play.
Overall one of the best game I've played if not THE best.
Not the fastest but the best overall.
And most importantly it fills my love for 4X space games.
So we have a small gamer group here and we've gone through quite a few games, and though there is a lot of excitement every time we get a new game to play, this one has us buzzing like schoolboys.
We have played only twice, but can see a great future ahead. I don't usually take time to write reviews, so pardon the erratic nature, however, I felt I needed to at least mention how fun this game is.
Basic game is one of;
Exploration (of expanding the board by turning over tiles);
Battle with a great ship mechanic (your ships are what you make of them based on ...)
Research (your race starts to focus on Military/Exploring/Tech)
Adaption -So much can change in one turn that you have to be on your toes.
Be prepared to spend a few hours in the beginning just getting set up and learning the game. After that The recommended time of 30 min/player seems a little light, but not too inaccurate.
Not going to get bored of this one any time soon.
Enjoy!!
PS: There are not many games that make 2-6 players so fluid and fun for all.

For a little more than a year I have been hosting a weekly game night at my apartment. To that end, we are always looking for games with new themes, fun play, and a balance between strategy and ease of play. Prior to Eclipse, the game we would have to turn to for space warfare was Twilight Imperium. The problem with Twilight is that it takes forever to play. If you can't devote 6-8 hours, forget it. Plus, its got a million things to keep track of. Needless to say, its not easy to get a game going.Enter Eclipse. It offers much of the same strategy, but with a better economic system, and one that self tracks much better than I have seen in a 4x game. There are fewer ships, but you have the ability to customize them. You want fast ships that hit hard, you can make them, or heavy armored behemoths.
If you want to play without being a warrior, totally possible. In fact, unlike in Twilight Imperium, losing your fleet does not consign you to death in this game. I had all of my forces wiped out, and still came in third in total VP in a 6 player game.
It's possible to focus on tech, or exploration, or combat, and do well, and the winner will likely combine some of them.
The game advertises 30 minutes per player, and this is fairly accurate. It took us about 3.5 hours with two completely new players, and only the second or third time for everyone else. This was for a six player game.
One recommendation, once you separate the parts by player, keep them that way. Store the chips and tokens of each race with their ships and cubes. This will help with initial setup tremendously.
I love this game, and will likely be getting rid of my copy of TI in favor of this lighter, better balanced 4x game.

This game is a ridiculous amount of fun. It is very solidly constructed, all of the "cards" are printed on durable cardstock so it will last and last. Obviously a lot of work went into this game. It looks very daunting and complex, so much so that more casual gamers would be tempted to throw in the towel.But wait! Once the iconography is explained, and the action-point system, and what the pieces do, everything starts to come together. And once gameplay begins, it is on like Alderaan. Gameplay flies by, with shootouts in space, gigantic battleships obliterating tiny interceptors, and mighty empires expanding into space, conquering everyone in their way. Researching and upgrading ships can turn a tiny empire into a space-faring terror swarm.
Two-player games can turn into grudge-matches, especially if someone gets an edge in technology. However, there are ways built into the game to deal with that. Like most euro games, there are mechanisms in place to help balance the game so even a weaker player doesn't get completely boned.
I only have one gripe about the gameplay. At the beginning of the game, one player is designated as Player One. At the start of each turn, they always get first shot at the new research. This gives them an incredible advantage throughout the game, one it is very, VERY difficult to balance. My friends and I are thinking about ways to house-rule that. Other than that, it is a rock-solid game.

The Iguana Factor Multiplication Game
Recieved this product for a Title 1 level, 3rd grade class. Will assist students in multiplication learning and, more than anything, will break up the "overhead monotany"!There are few board games of this price and content for education. To me, this is worth the money.
At this is a top pick for fun ways to master mulitiplication facts!
For the child learning multiplication facts, this game is a mixture of memory work, strategy, and chance. The multiplication practice helps kids master their facts. Developing a winning strategy keeps the game interesting. The role of chance keeps everyone in the game until the last spin. Practice your facts and have some fun!

the spinner in this game is HORRIBLE. It is cardboard on cardboard.Seriously!

Don't Quote Me Board Game
It is a good game that all can play. My entire family sat down and enjoyed playing it, whether just the quote cards or with the board. However, the older you are the bigger advantage you will have. My brother, who is 15, only knew the most famous quotes because he had never even heard of some of the other quotes. My father had heard most of them and was able to rattle them off with ease. Like I said, with age comes advantage. So, while it is a good family game, the older you get the better you'll be.
Stiga Stiga 54-Inch Mini Pong Table Tennis Table
This table looked and felt sturdy when it arrived.But I've never purchased a worse quality product from Amazon.First of all, the unit came without the net and other components.After some weeks, the company shipped the components. The net, which has very light plastic clips that clip on the table, broke within 2 uses.After that, while we were trying to disassemble and reassemble it (as the previous review notes, this table is NOT made for easy storage), the piece between the legs (that says STIGA)completely broke off.We got maybe 4 days of play out of this purchase before it went in the dump.Absolutely horrible purchase. Do not buy!
My wife and I love playing TT recreationally, but we live in an apartment with little room for a full size table. I previously tried the Spartan portable mini table tennis table, but that was a disaster. The table was super-heavy and the hinges broke even while we were unfolding it for the very first use. I then had to lug it to the store (Dick's) to return it. Given that experience, this Stiga table felt so much better. It does have its share of problems though.
Pros:
1. Relatively light weight (35 lbs)
2. Very easy to put together. Its basically 4 wing bolts, and then you snap on a few parts. No tools required. 5-10 minutes.
3. Decent playing surface for recreational use. Since the board itself does not fold in half, you can be sure that the surface is perfectly even.
4. Nice size for an apartment. The design of the legs means it takes up a very small floor footprint, while being reasonably sturdy.
5. 29" x 54" is a very playable surface. Sure, you don't move around at all compared to a full-sized table, but its still fun for 2 adults.
Cons:
1. From looking at the pictures, I assumed that this table folds up like an ironing board. It does not. You basically need to DISASSEMBLE it each time you want to put it away and RE-ASSEMBLE it before each play. Sure, the table is easy to take apart and put back together, but it still takes about 5-10 minutes. Also, assembly and disassembly require you to turn the table upside down, risking damage to the playing surface and requiring some strength. If you're looking to stow the table away after each use, you might be disappointed. I sure am.
2. The included rackets are plastic toy-like child rackets. It can seriously hurt an adult's wrists using them. Be sure to get a full-size pair.
3. The reason the spartan table was so much heavier is that the playing surface had wood and metal reinforcement on all sides. The MDF surface of the Stiga table is largely unprotected. You need to be careful not to place anything on top of it, even in storage. Even if you need to move it (while assembled), two people would probably need to lift it by the legs, rather than holding it by the playing surface. With careful use though, it looks like it should last a while. Only time will tell.
4. Compared to portable tables where the playing surface folds in half, the size of this table can make it unwieldy to store.
5. The net is only 3 inches wide. The height can be adjusted to make it up to 4.75 inches tall, but leaving a gap at the bottom.
6. Pricey. The components are nothing fancy. This ought to be much cheaper.
Overall, recommended for recreational play if you have the room to keep it in its assembled state for extended periods. Clearly intended for kids (based on racket size) but adults can enjoy it too.

Multiplication Bingo Game
My third grade son loves playing board games. When he began learning multiplication in school he was having difficulty and this was an inexpensive way to have fun while practicing the subtraction facts. It has been a huge help and he has fun while he is learning rather than sitting at the table with pencil and paper all of the time.One thing I particularly like abouot this game is that if your child is having trouble with certain groups of facts (such as multiplying by 7's), you can be sure to call those cards each time to increase the repetition in which they must calculate those problems. One thing I don't like is that for some kids, or kids just beginning learning their multiplication, it is hard to calculate the problems in their head without writing it down and working it through on paper this can be easily solved though by giving them a scratch pad and pencil while they play.
Carrom 750.20 Agean Foosball Table
So far, I think all is well.Have to say, it came in waaaaay to many pieces...and some were missing.I was able to run to the local hardware shop for replacements...but they were silver vs black...ugly, but workable until Carrom sends us some parts.Table solid, but construction could have been more...well...aligned.After the first 30 min of play, we found 2 'dead' spots.We are not entirely judging yet until we are 100% all is balanced well.Looks great...and are SO glad we went for black/green vs. the typical brown.Hopefully after a few more play-times, I will come back and update.I have 4 sons...9/8/6/1...and I am hoping for many years of fun!!

I bought my Carrom foosball table as a birthday gift for my husband. Luckily, he did not mind taking the hour or so we required to assemble it.Instructions were reasonably straight forward, but if you're new to the game, I strongly advise that you decide before you start assembling if you want left hand defence and right hand attack or vice versa.(We followed the manual and ended up with the right hand controlling the defenders. We changed it around. Did anyone else find this or did we take a wrong turn somewhere?)Once assembled, the table looks good, sturdy and is an instant hit with children and adults alike. (It also relegates television and video games into a far second choice.)Has a couple of 'dead spots' despite the corner slopes, but is it worth the money? Definitely.Save 2% Off
Levels of Discovery Time Out Rocker Girls
I bought this for my one year old Granddaughter's birthday although she is a little small for it right now. This is a chair that could be passed down from generation to generation, it is that well made. It is sturdy and feels like an adult chair in quality. It is a nice size and fits children up to 100 pounds. I like the fact that it has a place under the seat where you can personalize the gift. There were many parts, but the detailed directions made it easy to put together. It took my husband about 1 hour. All parts were in plastic and well marked which made it a lot easier than most things you have to put together. All in all I would recommend this chair to everyone looking for a quality child's rocker.
Rocking Chair for Kids Girl Time Out Rocker This is a very sturdy rocking chair with a timer that I think is very nice and useful. I ordered this item for my independent thinking (MY WAY!), gregarious (NO! NO! NO!) and free-spirited (Catch me! Chase me!) grandprincess. This rocker comforts and teaches a beginning and an end in a much better way than using a "naughty chair" for time-outs. It can also be used as a place for thinking and quieting and calming.We use it for reading (OOPS! Sorry Baby, Gwammy can't read "Goodnight Moon" for the 5th time-the timer went off!), slowing down for nap time (5 minutes of rocking, talking and a sip of water-timer says so), and just keeping everyone on schedule (...just give me a few minutes and we'll go outside). The size and quality of the rocker will enable us to use it for a very long time. Thanks for the free shipping-a great incenitive! We're BOTH pleased. Signed,Princess Carlee's Handmaiden

Harrisville Designs Style A Easyweaver
I'm an adult, and I got this for myself because I wanted a relatively inexpensive loom to fiddle with, to see if I could actually make something useful from this "toy". I figured since this was a toy, it would be easier. Well, having tinkered with the thing for about ten minutes now, my initial impression is that there is no way a 7 year old could figure out how to work this thing by themselves. The directions are perplexing to say the least. There are two booklets; one of them is supposed to be a quick start guide and the other a book of projects. For the rainbow scarf, I found you have to refer back and forth (at least to start) to both booklets. It felt like someone showing you what a bike was, the pieces of it, and then you were expected to just get on and peddle yourself off into the sunset. Not so much.I feel like this loom COULD be easy to use, and that they PROBABLY did do all the hard work already getting it so it's ready to go when you receive it, but the instructions and illustrations are so confusing that I'm just not so sure anymore. I was more certain of its ease before the directions than after, and I think that says something. For example, the extra shuttle that's in the loom, is that supposed to be there? Do I need to take it out? They don't mention this in the booklets. The section on re-threading is so unintuitive that I've decided to read it again tomorrow when I've had some coffee and a night's rest. I mean, this really shouldn't be rocket science.
Overall, I've given this thing 4 stars because I think it WILL be easy to use once I figure out how to do it (on the Internet, not through the materials they've provided), and because it seems to be built sturdy (sturdily?). I'm sure I will get hours of enjoyment out of it and hopefully a completed, usable product; however, all this is wishful thinking in light of the fact that for now I simply cannot figure out if I'm even using this "toy" correctly at all.
By the way, this is the Easy Weaver A, not B. The booklets refer to both, and the box does not seem to mention the model.

I had intended to purchase this Harrisville Easyweaver, but after consulting with two very experienced weavers, was advised that there is a MUCH better quality, and very easy to use loom, available for a similar cost (actually slightly less).The loom that both experienced weavers recommended, is called the "Little Quick Weaver", and is a mom and pop product made in Michigan.
The craftsmanship, and finish of the "Little Quick Weaver" is superb!
I am very glad that I solicited the advice of two weaving experts, prior to actually making a loom purchase.
If you type "Little Quick Weaver" into a search engine, or go to Ebay, you will find the "Little Quick Weaver" listed for sale there.
UPDATE: Nov. 19th, 2012: I can no longer find the "Little Quick Weaver" listed for sale ... anywhere.
I would like to buy another one. If anyone can find it please advise me.

I purchased the Easy Weaver A used for myself.Expecting it to be ready for weaving, the entire loom was a tangled mess. After untangling all the yarn and figuring out how to get it going took most of a day.It was a good thing that it was not purchased for a child.I was looking for something simple to learn weaving with and thought I would buy used.
When it arrived, I was very disappointed. I believe that the seller had misrepresented the item by not declaring that someone had cut the yarn at the base creating the mess.And it was definitely a mess.
Next time I will spend the extra to buy new.

I generally love Haba toys, but they seem to have issues with their ball tracks (we have the construction set for older kids, also). We bought this for our nearly two-year-old. It's not fun. The balls don't stay on the track. A ball put in at the top has less than a 50% chance of making it to the bottom, so you spend all your time chasing runaway balls. The wood is lovely and I'm sure it will last forever especially since my kids have no interest in playing with it. SO not worth the money.

my little niece is less than one year old, and this was the perfect toy for her, despite the fact that it is rated for 1 1/2 year old babies

- Transformer controlled forward, neutral and reverse operation

edit:changing from 1 star to 3 star.Yes it is lighter and feels 'cheaper-made' than the other set, but it is still a decent set.I have set it up on it's own track and I have the polar express running on the outer track in the opposite direction.The kids love it.I paid $139 for this set and for that price, I think I will be keeping it even if the whistle is not functioning properly.I have purchased the Thomas and Friends cheaper sets that runs $50-60 and also the wooden table top train sets that runs $90-$130 and it's a no brainer to go with this set since it is a lot more fun and enjoyable for the kids.If the Polar Express or Hogwart set falls to around the $170-$200 range I would recommend those sets over the Coca Cola @ $139.

If you were to purchase the components separately, it would total well over 300.00. For this price how can you pass it up. It would be nice if the engine was made out of metal completely, but it still is a workhorse and keeps up with my polar express set which I combined the two with and now have plenty of extra track and transformer if I want to expand. The kids like (and I do to) the train sounds, put the train in neutral and hit both buttons and hear the crew talking after about 35 seconds. Coke and Lionel for this price is impassably a great buy. If I wanted the real train sounds for my other set, it cost as much as this whole set. Four stars, only because the engine has many plastic pieces, but not entirely plastic. The detail is ineradicable though.Read Best Reviews of Lionel Coca-Cola 125Th Anniversary Vintage Steam O-Gauge Train Set Here

These worked great for my decoration needs they are very light and seem to be made of paper but brought the right touch to my holidaysI had to re-check the listing and the word paper is the last thing they mention, in the place least likely to be noticed. I thought they were a good deal until I received them, but they are not. They aren't too bad looking and I was still able to use them, but kind of tacky.
