Impressive - but only for a few minutes!

This was one of those toys I was really looking forward to seeing at Christmas, and I thought my little girl would love it. However, the truth is that watching Tigger perform his headstands is highly amusing for the first few times, but it eventually wears a bit thin. Everyone we have shown this toy to has been initially really impressed with it, and then once you realise that there's very little play value - it tends to get left.

Also - it's not flawless, and on an annoyingly regular basis it falls on it's side and shakes with the strain of trying to do it's pre-programmed moves whilst not in the correct position. Watching Tigger have a fit isn't really what I expected when I bought this toy!

The sounds are good, the voice and music isn't tinny and inaudible, it's one of the best sounding kids toys I've heard. It seems pretty well built too and is nice and bright.

In a nutshell - it looks good and sounds good, but I don't think that there's hours of entertainment to be had.

disney princesses leappad book

the book kept my 4 year old daughter entertained for some time. she found the book fun and liked the colourfulness for the pages.the stories were easy to follow and the interactive pictures were educational as well as fun.

Much better value than I expected.

I have to admit that I found this rather fun. I bought it for my little girl, who has outgrown her duplo bricks. You can make allsorts with it (literally, if you are that way inclined!) and it also comes with a guide to a load of suggested models.

I ignored the guide book and built my girl a car. You get a few wheels etc so it can actually be pushed around. I wish my parents had got me this sort of stuff when I was a kid. I got handmedowns though, with all the good pieces already lost.

Um, enough about me. My daughter loves it. The only slight criticism is that the supplied baseplate is a bit small. That really is a minor quibble though. There is an awful lot of lego in this box.

I got this deck because someone recomended it to me.It is not really invincible and it needs some more magic cards so that you can win.I would get the God deck whitch is the best deck if I were you.(If you get that deck then your win is sure.

Optimal Optimus.

This is a superb Transformer toy. It combines all the best new features of modern transformers and the old chunky, solid style of the old.

As a vehicle Optimus is a solid, brightly coloured truck with free rolling wheels and a horn/light effect activated by a cab-top button. All robot features are hidden away and it looks just like a toy truck with any joins fitting tightly together.

As a robot he stands up well and can be posed in various ways without loosing stability. The arms could do with a rotational joint under the shoulder so they don;t have to face forwards all the time. But otherwise he looks very good. Optimus' right hand carries a firing missile launcher with an impressive range. The hands have articulated thumbs and fingers (4 fingers joined together) and the head rotates.
I don't care how old I am; pressing the button on Optimus' chest and having his head pop out whilst laser noises goes off is always going to be fun!

Transforming between the two forms is tough at first and don't expect the instruction booklet to be any help!
Once you've had a good look at where the joints are and where things should bend/fold away it's easy to see what should go where. After transforming Optimus once and then back again I had it sussed no problem and I don't have to think about it anymore. Because of his size and solidness he's actually easier to transform than some of the deluxe class Transformers (Bonecrusher... argh!).

Definitely a 5 star Transformers toy and the best version of Optimus since the original G1!
