Diggin' For Dinos Party Centerpiece Set

Diggin' For Dinos Party Centerpiece SetLooks great and was shipped fast

The Kids loved it. Made for a nice party decoration. Would recommend for every Dino party.

These dinosaurs made great decorations for my 3yo's party. They are richly colored on both sides and easy to assemble. The card stock is stiff and didn't bend at all. Super for the $$!

  • Basket Ball Sparkle Lamp

I gave two of these to our grandson for the night tables in his new "big-boy bedroom." HE LOVES THEM! They're soft and pliable, making them durable and very hard to break...which is perfect for a little boy's room. They're actually larger than the photograph appears, and they give-off a good amount of light, too, but not too much. We would buy these again... VERY CUTE! :-)

Harvil Tabletop Pool Table with Accessories

Harvil Tabletop Pool Table with AccessoriesThis is a pretty good pool table. It's small enough so that it doesn't take up much room in your home but big enough so that it's not trivially easy to pocket balls.

To address another reviewer's concerns: The balls are a little small and this does mean that it's difficult to control english on the ball. Good position play is still possible though. The balls are pretty easy to get out of the pockets except when they're full (a pocket holds 7 balls). If you reach into the pocket with your palms facing the table (instead of away from it, which would be more natural), it's really easy to get the balls out. The reviewer must have had large hands or short fingers (no offense). To address her other concern, the balls aren't supposed to completely fill up the triangle (just like with the full sized pool balls and triangles); if they did, you wouldn't be able to remove the triangle without disturbing all the balls. What you're supposed to do is use your fingers to push the balls toward the front of the triangle and then hold them there gently while lifting away the triangle.

One thing to note is that there is no foot-spot or head-string on the playing surface and no markings on the rails. One more thing I want to mention is that I've had mine for a few weeks now and the felt around the pockets is already looking just a bit worn. I'm not sure if this is normal wear and tear or if we've possibly been scratching the felt with the cue (entirely possible).

Using the "Ghostball Aim" trainer I created and uploaded to Amazon(see customer image) is an easy and free way to improve without spending money on pool books. (You'll have to download the image and print it out to use it.) You can also cut away half (and a small semi-circle) of the object ball side and use it while playing without disturbing the balls.

Update: I forgot to mention that the pockets have a little hole on the bottom so that you can stick your finger in from underneath to push the balls up and make them easier to reach.Also, do yourself a favor if you buy/own this table (or any other mini-pool table) and get full-sized pool cues (sticks).It will feel more like real pool and help with your aim and stroke and ball control / position play.Get one with a smaller tip than the included mini-cues and you'll be able to control the cue ball better.One final word about the triangle: It is just slightly too big; when you push all the balls against the front, not all the balls will touch.I taped two pieces of cardboard (from a two-pack box of cereal) to one side with electrical tape and now it works perfectly.



Bought this for Christmas for the kids, ages 7 and 5.Very well built and sturdy...we bought it online at Walmart for only $19!!!!Also bought the air hockey table and really enjoy it too.That was also $19 from Walmart.Our kids and my husband and I really like the both tables, we played with it all day long.

I bought this for my six year old grandsons' birthday. I was very impressed with how durable and sturdy this product was. The only thing I didn't like was that there is only one pool cue and the picture shows two, other than that, it is a hit! He loves it and plays with it every day. Like another reviewer noted, I didn't like the rack because it was too large, but that is minor and it still works well. I recommend this for ages 5 and up. Fun for adults too.

Great game to play when family is tired and the sun has gone down or raining and all just hanging out.We played Christmas when the extended family was visiting.It was very enlightening and the kids really enjoyed it.Most questions lead to other questions and laughs!

Beck Children's Wooden Pencil Desk and Chair

Beck Children's Wooden Pencil Desk and ChairThis isn't necessarily a bad value at $35; it's cute but the craftsmanship is poor and the age description is misleading.

The "desk," which is really a table with a drawer, wobbles. One of the screws that came with it (not one related to the wobbly leg issue) had a stripped head so I had to use my own. On the plus side, the pre-drilled holes all lined up.

My biggest gripe is that the manufacturer describes this desk as suitable for ages 36 months to 10 years. We'll be lucky if my average-sized five-year-old can use it for a year before either growing out of it or breaking it through normal use.I'd say it's sized for twoand three-year-olds.

I'd return it if it weren't a hassle to take it apart again and repack and ship it.

Despite the poor review(s) on this product, I have to claim that this product is well made. The colorful pieces looks great. The table was easy to install. The screws fit well. Installs in a snap. What I did additionally to make sure the table was sturdy when installed, is that I used some carpenter's glue and applied a tiny amount between the joining wood pieces before I screw them together. Yes, this would make the parts join permanently, but I have no intention of returning it or disassembling it in the meantime.

My toddler daughter likes it and the height of this table is just right for her.

I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking around for a cute and stylish wooden table for their young toddlers.

Buy Beck Children's Wooden Pencil Desk and Chair Now



At first, I was a little bit skeptical about this product due to the one negative feedback about this product. But I decided to go with my instincts that it can't be this bad and decided to buy it anyway. To my surprise, I am very happy with this product. My daughter is almost 2 years of age and she seems to like this new desk and chair. It was also very easy to install from the packaging. The screws and pre-drilled holes all aligned properly and the fit for each piece of the furniture fitted together nicely. I also used a bit of carpenter's glue to glue the pieces together before screwing them onto each other. This way the table would be a bit more sturdier. This wasn't recommended by the instruction manual, just something I thought of.

Overall, this is a well made product for the price it's offered here.

Child Desk: My First Desk

Child Desk: My First DeskI bought this for my 2.5 year old daughter thinking that we can take it on a plane. After giving a good amount of net surfing, I liked how colorful and practical the item was designed.She likes the side pockets to put crayons. The surface(desk) is not durable, the velcro on the back the rubber string came out unattached from the bag for the second time she opened and the 4 rubber straps on the desk to hold the papers arenot well designed rather simply exposed without a cover. I'll recommend to put only few papers.



This desk was not as good as I was hoping.It is not all that sturdy or durable and a child could bend it in half and ruin it easily. It is kinda small and also crayons or other objects roll off the sides into the child's lap or the floor.That being said, it is funtional as far as providing a flat surface to write on or eat on in the car, which I have to admit is all I bought it for.My 3 year old son actually really likes it and likes putting the crayons in the zip pockets on the side.I can't complain with the purchase overall, especially for the low cost.

I purchased this for a friend who was getting married. All I know is that when they came back from their honeymoon, she told me how much her and her husband LOVED these cards and how they actually wished there were MORE cards when they were done with all of them. She said it really gave them an opportunity to reflect on the wedding and remember all of their favorite and treasured moments together. Huge success and I highly recommend!!

I recently purchased multiple TableTopics TO GO, honeymoon packs for friends who were getting married. I thought it was a great idea for the flight home or while waiting in the airport, to help solidly memories from their weddings. Sometimes it's easy to let details slip away, because the day is so hectic.

I then encouraged them each to keep the cards and to bring them out for each anniversary so that they could reminisce about their wedding day and remember the love they felt for each other and their friends and families on that special day. I thought it could become a great anniversary tradition.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Who Wants to Be a MillionaireThis version of Millionaire-At-Home works both better and worse than its CD-ROM counterpart.It's definitely better than even the CD SecondEdition in terms of the number, variety, and level-appropriateness ofquestions.The questions much more closely approximate those on thetelevision series than either of the two CD-ROMs. And the Phone-a-Friendlifeline is much closer to the show in that you actually CAN phone afriend, unlike on the CD-ROM.

Where the board game fails is in theimplementation of the other lifelines and in its dumbfounding lack ofmusic.

The 50/50 doesn't particularly work.On the show, it'seffective because Regis himself has no control over anything, and becausethe player's ramblings appear to determine which responses are pulled.Here,the person playing host potentially has too much leeway in decidingwhich choices will be nixed.To be fair, the CD-ROM isn't much better atcapturing the actual feel of this lifeline, either--its throwaways arepredetermined by code--but its approximation is at least fairer.

Similarly, the Poll-the-Audience option fails miserably.Instead ofbeing a more-or-less sure bet, this lifeline depends entirely on thebenevolence of the people you're playing against.There's no "audience" inthis game, because everyone's a player.It's in their interest to misleadthe person currently in the hot seat.Consequently, you'll likely get thewrong answer if you choose this lifeline-which goes against everything welearn from watching the show.

But the biggest drawback of this edition isthe lack of music.The show is entirely built around the music.Withoutmusic, Millionaire is nothing special.The music is the origin of 90% ofthe drama.A CD with the theme music should absolutely have beenincluded.

On balance, the Second Edition of the CD-ROM game wins out overthis one because you're just not going to have so many Millionaire-themedparties that it will matter that this version has slightly more questions.You might as well get the version that comes closest to approximating theoverall experience of the real deal.Hook your computer up to your TV, runthe audio through your stereo and enjoy a version that actually has Regisas your host.

I absolutely loved this game.I gave it away as an x-mas gift to my boyfriend and we played it with the family and they loved it.My dad is an extremely intelligent guy, but somewhat of a hermit and when we brought it to the table, he recognized it from T.V. and insisted on playing.Needless to say, he got to level 250,000 and we were all impressed.I did feel that some of the questions like the lower levels, under 32,000 were actually hard, and some of the higher questions, over 32,000 were a little easier. I guess it all depends on what you know.The game show asks questions like "what color is violet?" in the under 32,000 category and the board game asks questions like "what is cabernet?" so that is your difference. Over-all it is a fun game and really brought our somewhat distant family together. Thumbs up!!! I only hope they have additional boxes of trivia to add to the game like Trivia Pursuit, since you play the game so-often you start to be familar with the questions.It would be nice to have addditional boxes of trivia to pertain to the game to add more excitement.Definetly worth the buck!

TableTopics Moms and Daughters

TableTopics Moms and DaughtersMy cube came chipped and had a crack in one side. Also, plenty of these cards ask "yes/no" questions--not discussion starters at all. Indeed, many of these questions are so theoretical or just plain unimaginative that they aren't even worth answering. My mom and I went through the entirety of the deck in about 45 minutes--not exactly deep-thought provoking. The use-value of this product is $5, if that.

Buyers should beware that these cards are for a younger generation of Moms and Daugthers and that some of the questions are downright dumb. My sisters and I were taking our 87 year old mother to the beach for a few days and we thought this would be a fun way to open up some conversaton with her so I splurged and spent the $25.00. While there were some good questions,we found many of them to be disappointing. At 87, I'm not going to ask my Mother what the "pros and cons of Facebook friends are for Moms and Daughters" (she doesn't have a clue about Facebook), who is her favorite shopping partner (she can barely walk much less shop) or "who does she think she will be friends with in 10 years" (I'm not sure she'll be here in 10 years). Questions such as "if you could try any hairstyle for a day, which would you choose" or "what will you be doing at three pm on a Friday five years from now" or "do you have a friend that makes you feel dumb" or "who's the best dressed woman on the planet" did not strike us as a meaningful way to get to know our mother. In the end, we tossed the cards and came up with our own questions that helped us understand our mother as a daughter, wife, mother and sister and in the process, we created a lot of laughs and memories for all of us. My recommendation is that you save yourself the money (they are expensive!) and create your own questions that are more specific and meaningful to you and your Mom.

Step2 Play and Shade Pool

Step2 Play and Shade PoolI bought this pool for my 18-month-old daughter, mainly because I was tired of patching the blow up pool.The pros of this product are the sturdiness, theumbrella,and the toys. The con is that the pool is really too small.The picture of the product shows achild whose legs are folded as she sits on the seat. If she were to stretch out her legs,they would cover much of the remaining surface area of the pool and that other child really would not fit in there with her! I would only recommend this product for a very small child who does not want to play with other children in the pool.



After searching many different pool styles for my daughter, I finally settled on this one. It's very durable and it's great because it comes with an umbrella to shade you. I don't have to worry about constant direct exposure to sun while playing in this pool. It's also great because we have a dog that likes to swim with my child. The dog can't poke holes in the bottom of pool. My daughter received this for her first birthday (pool says ages 2+), and loves it very much! It's a really great product and I would recommend it to everyone!

Buy Step2 Play and Shade Pool Now

The pool is a ncie size for my 1 year old, he is able to get in and out easily and it appears quite durable.My only complaint is that there isn't a handle anywhere so you can lift it up to dump out the water, the pool lies flat on the ground and when full is a bit heavy. Also, the umbrella can be easily pulled out of it's spot, but hasn't been a major issue. I would recomend this product.

Read Best Reviews of Step2 Play and Shade Pool Here

My son is 3 months shy of his 4th birthday and we just got this pool for him. He's had the Step2 water table since he was 1 and has gotten many hours of play out of it. So when the weather got warm this year it was the first toy he wanted out, but unfortunately he has literally outgrown the water table (he always loved climbing up to sit in it), well he's 42 inches tall and kept ending up tipping the water table over on himself. So we figured it was time to replace it with something else, of course this is what he picks out at the store. At first we were unsure, but he loves it. He's never really liked pools and always picks playing with his water table instead, so this fits the bill. It's basically a larger version of the water table without legs it can tip over on. I would even recommend this instead of a water table, since it's larger.

So if you're "older" kid wants an actual pool then this would not be a good buy, but if your child is like mine and prefers a water table to splash around in a bit, then this is a great product. There's enough room where he can sit in there with his legs fully stretched out.

Want Step2 Play and Shade Pool Discount?

I don't think this product is a bad investment, but it definitely isn't high quality.My daughter likes playing in it and enjoys the small ledges that she can pool water on.The cup system that attaches to the umbrella is a cute idea, but unless everything is lined up perfectly it doesn't really work.The pool is flimsy and bends out of shape easily, but I guess all pools like this aren't really made to last.I would probably suggest this product to a friend.

Killerspin 301-63 Paragon Table Tennis Conversion Top, Black

Killerspin 301-63 Paragon Table Tennis Conversion Top, BlackThis table top is just what we were looking for. The padding to protect the pool table is perfect and it has a quality playing surface. Set up is easy. It is probably best with 2 people and easily managed by women or young adults. The net and paddles that came with the set allowed us to enjoy playing within 10 minutes after opening the box. The only caution is with delivery. Ours was delivered on time and for free which was awesome. It does come on a tractor trailer, 5 feet by 5 feet and strapped to a pallet. The weight getting it off the truck is 175lbs. Our driver did get it to the garage where we could open it and bring it inside in pieces.

Product was exactly as advertised and delivered on-time during the Xmas rush.Although it was advertised for use only on 7-foot or 8-foot pool tables, I made it work on my 9-foot table by using eight 1.25-inch sorbothane rubber spacers between the pool table and the conversion top enabling the net supports to be clipped onto the conversion-top surface.The paddles that came with the set are also first class.The table top is very solid and produces a consistent bounce.

Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway- Toby's Windmill

Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway- Toby's WindmillThis has been a great addition to my 3 year old's train set.As with all the wooden Thomas toys, I found it a bit pricey, but my son plays with it so much more two other items with good reviews, Cranky Crane and the Water Tower.We've had it about 2 months, and the lever that turns the windmill gets a lot of use/abuse and has held up well.My son likes to put the barrels (as well as other items including small rocks and raisins!) that come with the cargo train through their chute at at the back of the windmill to load the train.We're very happy with this purchase.



My three year old son got this as part of a train table this past Christmas.He absolutely loves playing with the windmill.An easy-to-use lever operates the windmill and another lever drops barrels of flour into the special freight car.He can play with this, by himself (key!), easily.My only issue with the windmill itself is that the tower section feels wobbly.It doesn't seem to be a problem for my son.Overall a wonderful addition to his train table.

Buy Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway- Toby's Windmill Now

I purchaed one of the large Thomas the train sets for my son for X-mas, which we LOVE.What I felt it was lacking in the set, however, was the staples that you see in all the books or shows, such as cranky, the windmill, etc. so I began purchasing these for my son little by little.I mean if you're going to go with Thomas, you want to reflect the island of sodor in your layout, right?!

We are thrilled with the windmill.As I wanted this train set to represent THOMAS and overall be a creative/manipulative this windmill fits my bill on both fronts.My son loves to pull the levers to start the windmill or to release the flour barrels.It makes him think a bit, rather then pushing a button!Also I was pleased to note that you can turn the top of the windmill so that you can fit it into any layout.Ours is acutally on a diagonal!It's nice to have a simple toy that makes for good/useful engine storylines in his creative play.

This is a great Thomas location.The large red lever is easy to manipulate and operates well even when pumped too rapidly or aggressively.The top portion rotates; clicking into 4 different positions.The mechanism for dropping the barrels from the loader into the included Barrel Car is wonderful.My son really enjoys this toy, and frankly, so do I.I wish the "Flour" barrels included magnets so that Cranky or Rocky could lift them out of the car, but otherwise this toy is wonderful.

Want Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway- Toby's Windmill Discount?



This is a great toy, but allow extra time for opening the packaging.The windmill is literally screwed into blocks of wood (with screws that came pre-stripped) to prevent it from being shoplifted.

The windmill rotates eight points into the wind; there is a lever to roll the barrels down the ramp onto the waiting train car; there is a lever at the back to cause the windmill blades to spin.This is a great toy and worth the money -this was the main addition to our train set this year.Your children want to play with this.

LEGO Castle Medieval Market Village (10193)

LEGO Castle Medieval Market VillageWow same price as lego and prime shipping!!!

The reviewer above must not have noticed this is the exact same price as lego store and with free shipping. I will say 2 sets are available here and 1 is $ higher but this isn't it!! great price and great shipping!

Not to mention one of the best sets lego has ever made, it would be worth $ more for the value of play!! From the blacksmith to the stabels to the market! this set is awesome! Definetely going to be worth about 3-4 times purchase price in about 10 years!! great for collecting.

You get a big tree!! 2 cows, 2 chickens, 1 duck, a horse, a carront, a frog, a whole cooked turkey not just it's legs!! apples, flowers, fish!!, a rat, a hairbrush, a bed a dresser, a stove, a fireplace a treasure chest!!

This is one massive set really great! It is not in numbered bags, some will love that, some like me won't!! 1601+ extra pieces and no numbered bags!! Ok it was kinda fun sifting for hours through a mountian of bricks saying, they didn't give me that piece!! Only to find 1 hour later they did YAHHHHHY!!!!

I like that the houses can be displayed open or closed!! The waterwheel on the blacksmiths shop actually drives a hammer on the inside!! That inturn hits a sword on a forge!! really cool!

All in all this is a really cool set, with a little imagination it can be the center of your castle set universe!! I have it on baseplates for display with the king riding by from the castle on his battle chariot, some dwarfs buying flowers at the market!! some dwarfs and knights getting weapons from the blacksmith An Indian riding bareback on his painted steed!! not castle but cool.Some soldiers enjoying some turkey and cheese! with whine straight from the lego barrel included with tap!!

Yeah I can't see anything but 5 stars for this set!! Great Price Free 2day shipping!! Thank you Amazon!!!

Holy COW!!! there are a lot of tiny parts here. and a lot more then just mini FIGURES. there are ducks and roosters and a couple ox and a horse. they pretty much thought of everything for a village with a market square. this looks a lot like a smaller version of my home town farmers market.

there is a blacksmith here too to make the weapons to sell to the guards. a working water wheel to help the smithy

and in the center of town is a giant tree!!!

they have thought of everything here, right down to the posies, and carrots to feed the horse.

there is more color here then the grand carrosel and it is more durable then it too.

this isn't QUITE my favorite lego set (the imperial flagship) but it is up there in the top five. i will have to look into more of the castle sets

My son got this for his 9th birthday. He is a huge lego fan and this is the biggest set I have purchased for him so far. It took him about 6 hours to build this one and he is really proud of it. He says it has the best accessories ever, he is really into all of the special little pieces always included with the lego sets. Definitely a good purchase for the money and it arrived just in time.

Back in the 1980s, I was (a) rather smaller than I am today, and (b) totally obsessed with LEGO. I especially loved the medieval-themed LEGO sets, because knights are cool and I have a fondness for history. But even then, it bothered me that the medieval LEGO sets almost always consisted of castles, castles, and more castles (with the occasional catapult thrown in for good measure). I longed to build a huge medieval *village* for all these castles to protect; and here, a mere 30 years too late, is the village set that I craved as a child.

Well, I guess it's a bit much to call this set a whole village's worth of LEGO. It consists of a tavern, a blacksmith's shop/stable, and a food vendor, so it's really more like a town square. But the buildings are wonderfully detailed and colorful, and if you arrange them carefully you can create the impression of a vibrant community. It helps that the set comes with a fairly generous compliment of LEGO minifigures and animals, including some very peculiar chickens. (Almost unbelievably, it also comes with what appear to be two LEGO "turds," which you're supposed to put on the floor of the stable!)

Building the set will be challenging for LEGO newcomers as there are a lot of pieces, many of them teeny-tiny. As is typical of LEGO, the pieces come in various bags that are not numbered or arranged in any kind of order; you'll need to open all the bags right away, dump their contents in piles, and hunt from pile to pile for the pieces you need at each step. This approach may annoy some people, but for me it's part of the fun and challenge of building a LEGO set.

In the final analysis, I think this is one of the best LEGO products out there. It has a level of detail and "class" that's missing from simpler sets, though it's perhaps not quite as nice as the expensive city sets like the Corner Cafe and the LEGO Emporium. Since LEGO sets have a tendency to drop out of circulation (and increase in price), I'd recommend picking this up ASAP if you're interested; and Amazon's current price of around $100 is indeed pretty good (I paid about $10 more for this at the LEGO store in Rockefeller Center).

I have got to say, that for the amount of piece's this is the best value. SIXTEEN HUNDRED PIECES FOR 89.99? What other set can you show me that is the same? I doubt you can show me one! Thank you Lego for this awesome product!

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.
