This toy isn't much better than most of the remote controlled toys you see out there. However, Mattell is putting a HUGE amount of advertising and hype into it for Christmas. I hate that toy companies sucker parents into buying a 2 hour thrill for their media-driven and gullible children. Save your money--ignore the commercials and go check it out first.

This board was a huge hit with my son. Smooth ride. Love the design. It has gotten many hours of use, and I've even tried it! Great board, and would definitely recommend.

We bought this for my daughter as part of HomeSchooling's projects. She and my husband work together but mainly our 8-year-old does it pretty much on her own- very fun and easily instructed! What a great product!!!!

Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition

I have played on the computer so hated the idea of all that loose money and needing to add it all,etc. This takes care of all that. There are a few rules on the computer that are not for this one but I add them just fine. All tax, etc. goes into free parking (use a pad and pen to keep track of that), if you get a roll that puts you right on go..you get double. (4 mil instead of 2 mil) but just add the extra 2mil with the card. Would like more choices for marker/tokens but other then that, I find no fault with it.

SET Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Grownups
from: SET Enterprises Inc.


Set is about pattern-making, but the patterns touch 4 different categories: shape, color, number and shade. My 7 year-old learned the rules in a few minutes, and we were quickly playing. It's an enjoyable, addictive game, but also requiring concentration and focus to succeed. I highly recommend for the game-oriented family with kids 6+.

Apple iPod nano 8 GB Silver (4th Generation)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Grownups
from: Apple Computer


I got this yesterday and it is going back today. It is a complete hassle to load and use. I loaded 100 mp3's which run on any other mp3 player and this machine says I have one song on it. It will not see other entries and it is NOT intuitive for those of us that do not have several hours to figure it all out. My one adventure with Apple will probably be my last. P.S. I dislike having a special USB cable end such that it can not be shared with any other piece of equipment.

This is a good family fun game. Allows for fun and insight and uniqueness for each person. I really enjoyed playing as a group for an afterdinner party. Good game, not the best I have played, but not the worst either. Good clean fun.

Mega Brands Magnext iCoaster (New 2008 Model)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Grownups
from: Mega Brands


My son wanted this toy for awhile and finally got it this past week. We have read the negative reviews and he was worried that it would not be worth the money, but he really wanted to try it. The new version doesn't seem to have any of the problems that the older version has. The track now snaps together and is does not fall apart- he even applied pressure on purpose. The music player still needs an extra attachment ire, but that was not his biggest draw to this toy. The music box sounds are sufficient. All-in-all, it has been worth the money.
