This was the best purchase! I bought this last year for my 5yr old as she was not interested in handheld GameBoy, altho she tried when her brother wasn't looking. Now, being 6, she still loves it. She has to tell her 8 yr old brother, No, I'm using it. My son also loves to use this, especially in the car on road trips--to the grocery store or 2hours plus trips. I'm thinking of buying another one, so I don't have to listen to the fighting who gets to use it! The volume is no problem and the variety of programs is fantastic for both the older and younger sets. I highly recommend this intriguingly educational and extremely fun game!

My 6-year-old and 9-year-old love playing this LeapPad toy very much, and I love buying LeapPad products for them. I'd rather have my kids play LeapPad than computer software or GameBoy. Keep up the good work, LeapFrog.

I bought this for my 3rd grader and it's a real hoot to play. The voice that talks you through is very funny and keeps him interested. It's also great that the game can be played alone because out of my 3 kids (4, 8 & 10) only the 8 yr old likes to play games often. The questions are challenging enough for them. What I like best is that the kids have to pay attention or they'll miss something (and hence answer incorrectly). It teaches them patience. The volume has been no problem for us...there is always a volume (- +) area on these leap pads to adjust. We just turn it up loud! A great buy for only $7!

Just spent Christmas with a dozen family members from 14 to 83 years old. Weather was bad so we were indoors most of the weekend. This was one game we all had a good time playing (4 at a time). Took some thought and some luck to win. The games took about 20 minutes each but if you played to 500 points, it took about an hour. Now I've come home and am buying a set for my own game closet.

Racko is the funnest game! My family and I could play it over and over and never get tired of it!

This is a great game; I love playing it! I only gave it three stars for educational value because, seeing as I'm eleven years old, it's not helping me learn my numbers very much. However that could differ with younger children.

It's a wonderful game and I hope a lot of children are receiving it for Christmas! :)

After reading the reviews here I figured it was worth taking a chance for the price. Most of the time all mine did was slop a lot of solution everywhere. Sometimes it would make one bubble that would float a couple feet & die. I would advise caution in one respect if you do decide to buy one of these. The bubbles consist of a lot of solution & one popped on my 4 year old nephew & he got it in his eyes which stung enough to make him cry. The lack of it creating bubbles was even more disappointing to him. Personally I don't think there are any good bubble makers out there. The latest toy I bought for my nephew starts out fun but ends up making a huge mess after about 10 minutes of using it.

I am confused by the poor reviews of this product. My daughter received this toy from the Easter bunny this year and the whole family plus Grandparents/Aunts/Uncles etc. have had a ball with it. It creates huge bubbles round or long, that float in the air for quite a bit of time. I do agree that the solution runs out very quickly and it is too hard for a three year old to work...but for the price I have to say this toy is WELL WORTH IT! We also made our own solution (Granny's recipe) and it worked...very messy and sudsy though. I would recommend this product to anyone who loves bubbles.

The Big Bubbler is the greatest bubble wand----we have had consistently huge bubbles with the top-of-the-line/expensive bubble solution, as well as, the cheapest $1.99 jugs. The only thing that didn't work at all for us was straight dish detergent (hey, we were desperate). My youngest toddler will chase the bubbles endlessly, and even a neighbor's preteen son couldn't resist chasing the large bubbles across our yard. I also like that I am playing WITH the kids when I make the bubbles for them vs. simply turning on a battery-operated machine and then standing back.

If I had to gripe, it would only be to say that I wish the top of the wand (the end that holds the bubble solution) could be stood on end. It is hard for the little ones to keep the top from spilling while waving the wand; it is also tough for them to get the wand back into the top to get more bubble solution.

We also go through a LOT of solution---I plan to buy a few large jugs of it to have it on hand. But, this seems like a minor inconvenience given how much fun we have all had watching the bubbles dance all over our yard.

There isn't a clear storyline. I felt ilke i had to solve a puzzle while watching this movie. I give it 1 star because at least the stuntmen\stuntwomen in this movie did their job well.

This is great movie whether those critics that give
this one or two star like it or not.I have to agree
on some things but like it used a few lines from the
fast and the furius and some other movies but who cares
if its original or not its still a great movie for a large
fan base that most action fans would enjoy.Ice Cube does
a great job for this movie in his role,and so did everybody
else, so if you want to see a great action packed biker movie
dont go past this cause its a awesome movie.

awesome movie...lots of action, nice bikes and great soundtrack... special features are ok especially the actor commentary...If ur into crotch rocket bikes get this one instead of biker boys

My adult daughter was thrilled with the i-Dog she received for Christmas. Thanks to an email from Amazon, I was able to give her the Chill Set for her February birthday.

A fun, reasonably priced gift.

My daughter, 7 years old, has enjoyed her i-dog a lot. The new outfits to accessorize has made the dog not only a cool toy now but a great room accessory as well. I do have to admit the dog looks real cute in the purple set we got.

We purchased the i-dog, the purse and the chill set for our 10 year old daughter and she is having a BLAST with it. It is so much fun to play with and VERY cute while it is working. Not real educational, but it is loads of fun. Highly recommended for your tween.

I own 3 handheld electronic sudoku games. This one is by far the best in regards to the game. The other two can have multiple answers on a game. I have never found that to be the case with this game. The biggest draw back is that the keys are not very sensitive. You have to push very hard and often multiple times to get a response. This is very frustrating- and forget trying to get an accurate solve time (maybe divide it in half due to the keypad difficulties!)

Monopoly is a game where you buy properties that have been mortgaged by the owners, and you must buy them for a ****load of money. It is absolutely the best board game series ever made.

There are tons of special editions for monopoly, for example:
Spongebob
Simpsons
Family Guy

This product is a must buy. BUY IT NOW!

This game is a terrific new version of the classic. All the same rules apply of course, but if you choose, the game comes with instructions for a Star Wars twist! I won't tell you what it is, but I will tell you it has something to do with the dice. The game comes with eight character tokens (four are good guys, four are bad guys) and a blue die and a red die. The colors come in handy when playing the star Wars version. You buy and trade for planets. You buy settlements and citys instead of houses and hotels. I think it's great fun! Although I've lost every game to my little brothers! Oh, and for all you big Star wars fans out there, the instructions come with a translation guide for the Star wars galaxy Aurebush language. It helps you to read the words on the "Republic credits". All in all it's a great game, so get out there and play! May the Force be with you!

Monopoly is just a wonderful game. The classic version after 70 odd years is still just a great game. You can sit down with friends and have a wonderful time and the game is great for everyone from five and on. once a child can read monopoly is a great way to introduce them to the concept of money in a fun way. and it is just a blast to play. Even when your opponet gets upset and upends the board.

I hate this game. Okay, I know it's made for little kids, but this game is dull beyond dull,. The "daddy" is very cheaply made. Ours quickly became hair-trigger sensitive, and now always pops up after only 1 or 2 pushes on the button. Since "daddy" get's awoken on almost every single turn, and since every time he wakes, the player who's turn it is has to go back to start, you can imagine how long this game can take to finish! My daughter asked for this game for Christmas, but every time she asks to play, I wish this particular gift had fallen off of Santa's sled. I wish we'd gotten her Perfection instead.

My 3 year old daughter received this game as a birthday gift. The ages on the box indicate the game is for 3-6 year olds but my 8 year old son enjoys playing it for family game night. This is a good game to play when you are playing with children from various ages. My daughter gets to practice taking turns, her colors, matching skills and counting. Overall, a good family game.

Purchased this last week and it came very quickly for our small family of three which includes my husband, and my son - 4 years old. He is just now getting into playing organized games and so we bought this game with three others and this is a huge hit! He loves the shock of not knowing when Daddy will wake up and being able to use his numbers, colors and matching skills while playing with Mom and Dad. He loves the fact that its a big boy game and that he sees us having as much fun as he is having!
