USAopoly Donkey Kong Jenga

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets
from: USAopoly

Jenga and old school Donkey Kong. Two things you wouldn't necessarily associate with one another, but they go together perfectly!

The game comes with your regular, wooden Jenga blocks, but each is dyed black with red scaffolding painted on either side and holes drilled in each end. You can play standard Jenga with this set, or play with the DK rules. Each player is given a colored Mario player piece, and the wheel is spun to decide how many pieces must be removed, and how many scaffolds Mario may climb on that turn. Pieces are moved to the top of the stack, making it harder and harder to reach Daisy with every turn. The first player to reach the top wins, or the highest player on the tower before it falls. It's Jenga. People ... Read More:

Erector Spykee - The Spy Robot

Picked one up from a local Toys R Us. Setup was easy if you read the instructions. Overall it works as advertised (except that it can't climb stairs). I've controlled it remotely, and even freaked out my wife who was unaware that I was controlling it from a coffee shop about 1.5 miles from my house.

For the price I think it's well worth it (I'm sure it'll go down too as time goes on and newer models appear). The software is simple, and it goes together very well. However, a few of the assembly diagrams were difficult to make out, so I tried my best to take my time (40 yrs old and still a geek). I travel out of town quite a bit, and frankly this will allow me to check out my house and family while I'm away.

my son got these when he was 14 months old and he has always loved them, even now at 3 y/o. they are easy for him to use and just a classic "no boundaries" type toy.
they have withstood two years of play, cats trying to eat them, being stepped on, being thrown, etc and the storage bag they come in has also held up well with only a few cat chewed holes.

LEGO® BIONICLE® Matorak Solek

This set comes with a lot of new pieces. It has a jetpack on the back and has a new head. I like the older head better because it had a ball instead of a socket. The new head has a socket. My head piece cracked after a while of playing with him. He is fun to play with especially if you combine him with Kopaka. I would recommend this set to anyone.

This is a fairly small set, not much for building with; but don't get me wrong, this is a great set.
You get two minifigs and horses (a good crown knight and an evil skeleton) and a good handful of weapons and things. That alone is worth buying the set for! Plus there are some cool gold pieces, some flags. I was pretty pleased with this one.

LEGO A World of LEGO Mosaics

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets
from: LEGO

January 02, 2007
I bought this item first and foremost because the item description said it contained 16" by 16" base plates. It does not. (I should have figured out that they wouldn't have fit into the box it says it ships in.)

The base plates are very small. They are 16 lego dots by 16 lego dots, which is 5" square. Bummer.

It's a great toy, but yes, as other reviews have said, they should have created a base that wouldn't slide around when placed over the mosaic guide. I end up holding it THE ENTIRE TIME my children play with it. Definitely more hands-on than I would like!

I still give it high ratings because it is fun and keeps my kids engaged.
