It's a Stylophone... get one!

I was just browsing a gadget shop in town earlier and stumbled across this for £15. I thought to myself - this must just be for show, so I asked for a trial. It's awesome! I picked it up straight away

The sound is spot-on. It also features two new sounds (one is like a dirty amplified organ, which is excellent) and vibrato for a very different sound. The unit is capable of very impressive volumes - you will be able to drown out all your inferior friends with this little badboy. (Also includes headphone socket in case you don't want to lose your friends)

External input means you can plug in your MP3 player(/whatever) and jam along to your favourite tunes - the tuning knob on the back is so precise (and has a massive range) so you can really have a blast. And because it sounds so authentic, you could easily use this for recording purposes if the original Stylophone sound is what you are trying to capture

Most of all - experienced or not - this thing is just damn fun to use, and everyone you know will be jealous. Buy it now!

5/5

This is such fun.

My seven year old son got this bought for him for his birthday and he loves it. He could fly it on his first go. We have been flying it inside the house and out in the garden and it has done well on both and we havn't got a big house or garden. It charges up quick and I think seven minutes is long enough flying time as kids get bored easily. It is a tough thing too which suprised me. But I can see us going through a few pairs of wings until my son becomes an expert. A great toy and a lot of fun for any age.

Fragile!

My little ones received the tardis playset for christmas so I thought I'd get them some more figures to play with and this set seemed good value. The Doctor and Martha are perfectly fine but The Master and Professor Yana are made of a very fragile plastic. They were playing quite nicely with the Yana doll and his head snapped off. Quite a shame as I'd just had to return a defective Doctor doll (who's arm fell off) from the Satan Pit set that I'd ordered at the same time as this set so we're not having much luck. Quite disapointing.

My review of the flight control Tardis

The flight control tardis is a giant leap fowerd from the last tardis(tardis talking money box)It features glowing windows with inside interior lighting, It also features 6 different tardis sound affects
with flashing lantern, police telephone detail and inward opening doors.If you push open the doors you come to a boring space with a sticker of the tardis inside.You may think by that it would have every
thing a flight control tardis would need, but if your a person that likes to play with toys this is probely the wrong toy for you. If your a collecter then this is a perfect collectors tardis, over all I think that the flight control tardis is quite a disapointment ,so if you would like this toy, your waisting your money ,but if your totally mad about doctor who, then its totally Brillent!

spacehopper

Everest and back

We have had this game for many many years and have taken it where ever we go. It is indeed highly addictive, we have played it on a ferry from Miami to the Bahamas and had a gang of children join in and most recently we took it on a trek to Everest Base Camp, the evenings are quiet unless you have something to do. We, our guide and porter played this every evening and had many others watching. As our guide and porter (who were fantastic) loved this game so much we gave it to one of them and so now am ordering another to be sent to the other and of course one for ourselves.

Excellent!!

one of the best board games I have ever played and i recommend this to anyone who enjoys strategy games. Risk is excellent and games can last a while but good strategy always overcomes luck

brilliant

within 24 hours our 12 month old was running across the room with this, he loves it! and within a week he walked on his own and we put it down to this toy. he progressed so quickly from the day he got it.
bargain price here too, its twice the price in all the shops.

Best value Hi-Fi upgrade bar none...5 Stars is not enough

I received my Tacima 6 way today, and have used it to replace a standard 6 way adapter that I was running my Hi-Fi from.

If you are using a normal power adapter of some kind in your Hi-Fi setup you MUST get this product. I put the Tacima in place of the ordinary adapter I had been using, and kept the original handy in order to replace the Tacima for a thorough sound comparison (you know how sometimes the improvement can only be detected retrosepectively)...however after a very short listening spell the improvements were so obvious that the old one is consigned to the spares bin.

Better separation, better stereo imaging, clearer more controlled bass, the sort of thing a very expensive amp upgrade might gain you, and all for £20!!!!!!!!!!

FYI I'm running the following gear;
Audiolab 8000/CDM/DAX/S/SX biamp/biwire into some refurbished Mission 753s, and yes all from the same 6 way extension.

Perhaps audiophiles would point out that I'd been rather remiss in only using an ordinary adapter previously, and I'm sure I could spend thousands on alternative supplies/cables.

But for £20 this has to be the single most cost effective way of upgrading your Hi-Fi.

P.S. I've just ordered another 2 for the AV equipment...

P.P.S. What Hi-Fi gives it 5 Stars at £50

Great toy if you use your imagination

OK, I was sceptical buying this as I read the reviews before hand - and to be fair they are all relatively accurate.

Camera itself is well built as I'd expect from Fisher Price. The buttons are nicely placed and easy to use. The viewing screen is very poor, but it does the job. Its hard to see images on playback when the flash has operated as everything tends to turn 'white' if taken too close. The camera makes nice little noises and does everything it needs to for a child. The 2 eyed view is also decent enough to use. I havent bothered with a SD card as you can easily delete pictures and clear the memory very easily. No issues with camera battery use either.

I bought a blue one (£15 less than the same pink version) for my little girl (my son is following behind and hes not into pink it would seem LOL!) for £45 which does seem alot of money for a childs camera, however if I buy a cheap better picture quality camera I dont think it would last the pace so readily.

At the end of the day its a toy pretending to be a camera, but when you put it in the hands of a child its a great to see them taking pictures of the ceiling, their feet, chopping heads of etc. - I'm sure they wont win any awards with the pictures they take, but its more of learning experience as you can show them how to use it properly, how to download onto the PC, manipulate their pics, make things with what they take i.e. its about we as adults also using our imagination to make the toy the best it can be.

I think its been a great buy for a whole learning process, not as someone earlier mentioned to produce results ala David Bailey from a 3 yr old. I'm 37 and still cant do that LOL!!

I have an Olympus 510 which is low end dSLR, so I do appreciate what photography is about. A child should have fun with this camera, but only you can make it 'really fun' for them to use.

Dual-Tone or Clay chips?

I recently bought this set and the colour plastic bit that cover the chips had started to peeling off. Iam saving for the clay chips!

Fantastic

I first played Articulate at my aunt's house with my cousins, and it was so good that we had to buy one for ourselves! No family gathering is complete without a game of Ariculate! It is so much fun and always guaranteed to make you laugh! Buy it now!

Get's them interested

I have found that this game allows my 2 sons to both get interested in words and spelling - yet still fun. One of a few games that both a 3 year old and 6 year old can play together. Two game option means the game grows as they gain more confidence and experience. One for those cold wet afternoons.

Quiet car journeys

Great puzzle bought for my 2yo son. He loves it.
Kept him quiet in the car and has become a great ritual before bed.
He really seems to focus and concentrate till its done.
I'd now like a similarly colurful puzzle with double the pieces.

Excellent Product!

This is one magnificant game! We (as grownups) had hours and hours of fun with it. We changed the rules a little to make up different types of games, and had loads and loads of fun. Worth buying!!!

BRILL BIKE EVEN BETTER PRICE....

Yet another great buy from our friends at Amazon, only took 5 days to get to me using Super Saver!! bit of a nightmare to fix together, but take your time and it pays off, took it for a test run around my street and friends were asking where I got it from and how much, soon the whole street will be riding around with the same bike!! came with most the tools needed, just needed a smaller allen key and a pump, forgot that had to ask nextdoor!!
