It's all true -- the hub doesn't work. We decided to damn the torpedoes and order it, despite the problems other buyers had. And the same thing happened to us -- now we're waiting on a refund. Purchase at your own risk (of carting this thing back to the post office).

I gave this game to my neighbor's little boy because he's crazy about trains and playing games. It was the perfect gift. ***ONE DRAWBACK*** As a mother of three myself I noticed that when you press that button and the train goes Whoo-Whoo, the chugga chugga train noise goes on FOREVER. Since this button is pressed multiple times during the game it can drive you nuts! I felt bad for my neighbors when they tried it at the party. He was obviously thrilled. The game itself is great and uses excellent quality heavy tile dominoes. Get it if you don't mind your house sounding like a train station!

MY FRIEND INTRODUCED MY FAMILY TO THIS GAME, AND , WE LOVE IT. IT IS ENTERTAINING FOR ALL. WE HAVE THE DELUXE EDITION THE GAME COMES IN A TRAIN TIN AND THE WHISTLE BLOWS WHEN A NEW TRAIN HAS STARTED. THIS GAME IS DIFFICULT TO FIND IN STORES, SO ORDER IT FROM AMAZON!

I read someone elses review just a few seconds ago and I have thought about it and my opionion is the Bratz are fun, cute , and apprently in style. But don't get me wrong these dolls are NOT for everyone. I'm 11 and my friend and I adore them but I only reccomend these dolls to kids who will not "look up to the Bratz" because I like them and every thing but some parents don't want their little girl dressed up as a "punk/goth" at the age of around maybe 6-11. Anyway if they think of Bratz as their hero what in the world has happened? No longer little kids have a real hero/rolemodle. Don't get me wrong let your kids play with them but not get WAY too obsessed with them. But hey thats just my opioion.

Hi! I just wanted to know will you guys please be my friends? None of my friends at school like bratz or anything so I think it's cool to meet people with the same intrests and all . If you guys DO want me to be your friends, plese reply here thank you. Oh and do you all belong to a forum or somthing? Okay, Bye

This is the second Balderdash game our family has purchased. Always good for many laughs!

I started playing Boulder Dash back in 1996 and since then it has become one of my favourite games. There is no limit to the number of players that can participate in the game. Actually the more that are playing the more fun it is. You DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW the meaning of the words to have fun. What you need is a wild imagination and good skills in bluffing. The game now includes more categories such as dates, initials and movie titles but still the word category I think is the best. If the cards that are provided in the box are finished no problem you can use scrap paper and honestly I have never used the board of the game while playing.
Be ready for rounds of loud laughs and why not be ready to enrich your vocabulary with words you will never use anyway!

Balderdash is a riot! It keeps my family in stitches! My entire family is so full of bull we play this easily. Playing Balderdash is a family tradition after Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners and everything in-between. Anytime there is a family gathering the Balderdash game comes out! My grown sons and their wives are full of bull, the grandkids are now joining in, but, it's tough to out bull the mother of bulls! Gotta Love It! Jane

We have 4 Little Touch books in all and this one is the best for a baby. This one has the most to offer for a baby under one. Even though the whole system says it is for 6 months and up, I found very little until this book held my baby's interest. My big kids enjoy helping their baby sister explore her LeapPad, too.

My new granddaughter loves this animated LeapPad and Books. I know she will enjoy them for years to come.

We received this as a gift for a 1 year old. It's ok, but not entertaining enough. I found it more helpful, using the Let's get busy, baby booklet as a teaching guide. I would get the book and my daughter and I would look for her head, toes on the picture and find them on her body. The cartridge is ok, but takes time and my daughter loves hitting the button to turn it off all the time. Design is wrong, on and off button should be on side of product. I think she will enjoy it when she's 2 1/2 or 3. But, not at 2.

I ordered this item for my grandson who is 7 and really into Magnetix but he got lots for Christmas so I just kept this one at my home so everyone can enjoy it there when he or other grandchildren/other children come to visit. Magnetix are GREAT fun for all! Great product for Amazon to offer.

We got this toy as a gift. It's okay. On car trips and long waiting periods, it holds the attention for a very brief period. I think it's better for a shorter wait period, like the doctor's office.

My main issue with it is that it just misses the boat on just about every front. The little Thomas needs pretty good fine motor skills to wind it independantly for a child, and by the time they have these, the kids are really too old for the toy. While it's pretty sturdy, there are smallish parts that can easily get lost that will make the toy unusable. If you are using something for travel, you don't want losable small parts.

For the age group this is for, you are better off getting them a new train for the cost and giving them a pad of paper to draw a line on (a track) and let them do that for awhile for travel. It will give you more independance and work much better.

I bought this toy for my four year old son, it worked great right out of the box...for about an hour. My son had difficulty winding the train up and because of this he would accidentally wind it backwards, which ended up breaking the train in no time flat. This toy while working did bring a big smile to his face and he giggled while watching Thomas cross over the bridge, I just wish the train had been made differently, maybe a push and go or something a bit easier to use for 3 years and up.

We bought this for our son and were thrilled with this toy. He picked it out himself and has been playing with it ever since. His older sisters even fight over who is going to play with it. All the pieces fit into the case. when you unfold it the pieces fit into holes so they won't tip over. Even the horses are made of a really neat rubbery plastic so they don't tip over easily. The train winds up and goes around the track. it is made so the train will go around the track and then do a figure 8. The toy is inexpensive and so much fun. He will sit and play for a long time with this. I would definately recommend this one. (one note: the pieces are small so keeping track of them may be difficult)

I bought this product because of the reviews hoping it would be something different for my grandsons 4 & 6. They did like it while we all were with them playing, but it didn't keep them amused very long when they were on there own. They are just starting to play together and maybe they needed to be more competitive for this toy. It really didn't hold up that well. An adult and child toy would better describe it for that age group.

Great! Our 8 year old kid loved it since the first day. My husband plays with our son every sunday and have a lot of fun together.

I bought this toy for less than $6 in deal. Within two days toy was in my house. My son was very happy. Even I had great time. I was amazed the performance of these cars. They are very powerful for their size. This toy needs 8 AAA batteries which is little expensive affair over the period of time but rechargables will fix this. Putting stickers takes little time as they are very tiny. Once everything in place then only thing left will be FUN FUN FUN.

As mentioned before, it takes a long time to get Elmo to pop up UNLESS you hold it at an angle. On a flat surface, it will never pop up.

A poorly made toy. It does not even deserve to the on the Island of Misfit Toys.

It takes FOREVER to get Elmo to pop out. By the time the very annoying song plays 10 times my one year old son is crying and frustrated because Elmo has STILL not popped out. It is also impossible for a small child to use because of the tiny turn handle. I can hardly grasp hold of it, let alone a child! This toy is a complete waste of time and money.

...Sure do set this toy off. We have had it for a while now -but the batteries have been permenantly removed. Ours used to play music all by itself in the middle of the night if it had been cranked just so the day before. It took us a while to figure out why our then 3 yr. old started waking up terrified. Now we know. It's cute but takes many cranks to pop up, and, once it is in just the right position, will play music with just about any movement! (even something being blown on it by the fan in the middle of the night) Don't waste your money...Get something else-anything else!

It was a great toy. I got it for my birthday. When u call it, it'll come to u. It is really cool. It walks, barks, and moans. I would recommend this toy for anyone.

NICE TOY GOOD TOY GREAT TOY WONDEFUL TOY FUN TOY GET THIS TOY ITS FUN EVEN FUNNER IF YOUR A GIRL GREAT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALLERGIC TO FUR OR SOMETHING BUT THIS IS A GREAT TOY

This toy is the cutest thing! It barks, whines, moves, pants, does everything but lick your face. Just the thing for a person of any age who wants a bit of a little dog experience without the feeding and clean up!
