Star Wars 3.75" Homing Spider Droid Vehicle

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Robots
from: Hasbro

August 21, 2008
I am really pleased with how sturdy this toy is. We have had a few bad experiences with Star Wars toys that fall apart, so I was dubious when my son bought this with his birthday money. I am pleased to say it is very sturdy with no parts falling off every time he moves it. The toy is large and impressive looking. It would have been nice to get a figure along with it, but my son had the right character in his collection anyway. My husband and son are having lots of fun with this toy!

Hasbro Transformers Starscream Barrel Roll Blaster

The kids love this toy. The foam missiles make a faint sound as they are traveling through the air. The only con (as opposed to pros) we've run into is that the missiles can very easily become lost if playing in too chaotic a situation.

I'd love to be able to buy replacement missiles.

Transformers Movie Deluxe Dreadwing Jet

OK so the common complaints on these toys are that Transformers are sometimes a little difficult to manipulate and yeah sometimes a piece pops off that only dad can manage to get back on. BUT, when I compare that to the countless hours my son spends playing with them indoors and out, setting up battles, joining them them in with his Hot Wheels, Lego blocks and Lionel Trains, providing dialogue as he directs the action, THEY OFFER tremendous play value. Since he got them at Christmas, his video game consoles have taken a BIG back seat to the kind of play I think is far more valuable.

Transformers Universe Voyager Autobot Blaster

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Robots
from: Hasbro - Freight Collect


I've been a fan of Soundwave and never got to pick this piece up when the Cybertron series was going on. Glad to see this re-colored re-issue. Certainly doesn't bear any resemblence to the autobot Blaster, including the 'minicon' inside as Blaster never had a bird. Except for the color scheme and the autobot symbol, this bears more resemblence to Soundwave than anything else.

That said, I think it's a real cool toy. The chest compartment that opens up to reveal the 'bombs' is really cool, and you can even store on the weapons in there, instead of the mini-con Blockroc. The jet mode is very much like a F-117A Nighthawk.

The transformation is a little on the difficult side, compared to most other toys I have, but it's not that ... Read More:

My boys love this. The best news is that it is sturdy and is easy enough for a Mom to do, if the kids can't figure it out.

Transformers Universe Ultra Powerglide

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Robots
from: Hasbro - Freight Collect

August 21, 2008
I've always liked the little mini-bot G1 powerglide (who is still on display in my den), and when I saw this larger version, I had to snatch him up at once.
The first time transforming him, the transformation sound effect button got hit a few too many times, but it was not long before I had the transformation down well.
Though another reviewer had a complaint about weak joints, mine holds together well on sturdy joints and the shoulder wings snap into place very nicely.
The only complaint I had was the rocket launcher, easily fixed by tossing the missle and keeping the gattling gun end facing forward in both modes.
Overall, a great Transformer for the collector.

Transformers Allspark Power Voyager - Evac

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Robots
from: Hasbro


The box states this is for age 5+. This is such a complicated toy that I don't think we will ever get it back together into the shape of a helicopter. What fun is that if the kid playing with it has to ask for help all the time? Little parts fall off and some are meant to come off. The adults who make these toys must NEVER be around kids or families. If they were, they would not make such complicated, breakable toys.

Transformers Movie Leader Deep Desert Brawl

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Robots
from: Hasbro


He's one big dude. Of course he's just a repaint of the regular Leader Class Brawl but I have to say that I like the new color scheme. The story on the box goes that he got all hoped up on Allspark energy after the events of the movie and wandered off into the desert, changed his color palate to better blend in the new environment and began terrorizing folks. Of course he died in the movie but, oh well.

The light brown with blue highlights really makes him pop more than the original drab green and to be honest most people are probably more used to seeing this type of color on military vehicles at this point in time so it looks pretty natural as well.

As to the toy itself it is a really impressive piece of work. In vehicle ... Read More:
