Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Real crane for real fun) 『Not at all like that stuff that comes from China. This is a well build machine that my two year old boy actually sleeps with. He LOVES this crane and play very rough with it and everything is just fine. No breaks after 8 months of tough two year old love. Too bad other toys are not this dependable or realistic.』
(Another great Bruder truck) 『This is yet another great Bruder truck. Very durable and realistic. My 4 year old son has a lot of fun with this truck, creating all kinds of imaginary scenarios when using it.
The one issue I did have was that this truck was delivered from an external toy store, associated with Amazon, and the delivery took much longer than advertised on Amazon's site, and I was not given any tracking information. Luckily it did come before Christmas, because this was the toy he asked Santa for. :) 』
(Worth every penny!) 『We gave this truck to our grandson for Christmas and he has not stopped playing with it. He even brings it over to our house when we baby-sit for him. It is very well made and is very sturdy and easy to maneuver. We also do not need to worry about any lead in the product. We are planning to buy other toys made by this company in the future.』
(BUY IT!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!) 『We bought this for my son for Christmas, he is 5...LOVES it. He plays with it all the time. The Bruder trucks are a little pricely but the old saying,"You get what you pay for" definetly holds true. This crane truck is worth every penny. Just buy it, you will not be dissapointed!』
(MAN Crane Truck) 『Wonderful product. It came intact (no assembly) and seems to be well-made. Our grandson is five and is crazy about it. All the parts work easily and I think it will last a long time.』 『Kids will reach new heights with this functioning crane truck! Pop on the stabilizing legs that store in the back and crank out the crane to move heavy loads and reach the tallest points, or tilt the truck cab forward to reveal a detailed engine. The telescopic and height-adjustable crane unit swivels 360° and features a locking mechanism for the hook. Other features include rubber-like wheels and a toolbox that opens and closes. Dim: 16.7"L x 6.9"W x 9.5"H』

Melissa and Doug
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Not the same quality as it used to be) 『I have other Melissa and Doug puzzles, and expected this one to be just as good. Mistake. The older ones had pictures painted on the wood board, this one has a paper picture glued on. The safety of your baby eating that paper and glue is unclear...
On top of this, the board is not solid wood, but looks like a few thin boards pressed together (sorry, don't know what it's called!) - the edges are very sharp, I tried to file the rough sides down and cut my hand!
Of course, no way my son is playing with this puzzle, so all its cuteness and pretty sound education value - along with my money, are going to waste. Think twice before buying.』
(Great First Puzzle) 『The puzzle is super cute and colorful. The large knobs make it easy for a one year old to handle the pieces. The only downside is that the wood is pretty soft so if your little one is into banging things around, the puzzle can look worn pretty quickly.』
(This is better than it may appear) 『This is an extremely durable puzzle with pieces that fit well, but not too tightly, into their places - providing an excellent challenge for my one-year-old.』
(Great toy) 『I bought this for my niece's 1st birhday and she likes it- especially the big knobs which allow her to fit the piece in properly- she had other puzzles but didn't have the dexterity to get them into place, with this toy she can fit them into the spot much easier.』
(Love this Puzzle!) 『We have had this toy for more than a year and still looks very good (just a few scratches). I bought it when my daughter was 8 months old. She learned to name the animals very quickly and loved to play with it even though she couldn't put the pieces back.
If this is too difficult for your child, try the geometric shapes (Melissa and Doug) - they're much easier. I think that this puzzle is the next step after the shapes.
』 『Can you find a home for the dog, cat and bird' Toddlers will love this super-sized, solid-wood puzzle with chunky half-inch-thick pieces -- it's the perfect first puzzle. Extra-large knobs make it easy for small hands to play with each brightly colored puzzle piece. Matching full-color pictures are hiding underneath each piece. Measures 12.5"H x 12.5"W x 1.7"D.』

(Great teaching item) 『This is a great tool for helping kids learn while playing and having fun. Good way to start them off learning letters, sounds. Not sure about writing...haven't gotten that far.』
(Great book!) 『I bought this for my niece's 3rd birthday and she was so happy with it. My sister tells me she plays with it everyday and has learned so much from it. I bought her the one that says a for ant and b for bee this one on amazon has different words for the letter but it's still the same toy. So glad I made my niece happy.』 『Listen, read and write! This activity-filled phonics picture book engages early learners with reading, handwriting, spelling, letter order and vocabulary-building activities on six interactive pages. Each page is loaded with bright images and colorful characters that keep kids amused for hours. Requires 2 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 9.3" x 15.2" x 1.8".』
IPhone 3G used's review (Quickly forgotten) 『Of the 400 gifts my two year old nephew got, this one didn't get anymore attention then the rest. He spent more time playing with the packaging than my toy. Why do we feel a need to purchase these material items for such young children? Anyway, after a few days this and the rest of the Thomas gifts became his clear favorite! And it warmed my heart. Which may explain why we do continue to buy these toys.』
(Well made - sturdy) 『My son LOVES trains right now. We got this as a starter for his wooden train set. He loves the track&the water tower. Worth the money!』
(Amazing value) 『I hope I'm not spilling the beans on this, but this is a figure 8 track set, water tower, Thomas train with separate car, water tower, bridge, and a couple of figurines. It is easily an $80 value for $38.』
(Wonderful toy) 『My grandson is 26 months old and absolutely loves this Thomas set. He has a few other Thomas toys, but this set is his absolute favorite. He will sit and play with it for 45 minutes at a time - which is great for a 2-year old!』
(OK starter set) 『We got this for our 20-month-old daughter who was starting to get into trains. Thought it would be a good starter set. It was fairly easy to put together. We set it up on the floor in a corner of the playroom. I will say that I don't understand the appeal of the water tower since it doesn't seem to do much (maybe I'm just not getting how it works?). All the other little pieces (tree, signs, conductor) seem a little superfluous and will probably get lost.
She's been most interested in taking the tracks apart and we've had to put it back together several times. She likes the trains and carries them around, plays with them on tables, etc. She recently learned how to make the train go on the track and likes doing that occasionally. Otherwise, this is not her favorite toy.
May be better as part of a larger set on a train table (she likes those at the bookstore, etc.).』 『Introduce a young engineer to Thomas and Friends, or add to a Thomas fan's collection with this 25-piece wooden train set. The unique water tower gives Thomas and his hard-working Friends a place to relax and re-fill their water supply. Set includes a stone bridge, water tower and cargo car along with Thomas, Sir Tophatt and more. Measures 16"L x 5"W x 9"H.』 『Little conductors will have loads of fun with this high-quality figure-eight railroad set from Thomas&Friends. Made of wood, the track features an elevated bridge in the center and a water tower where Thomas can re-fuel; the "water" rises and falls with flicks of the spout. Sir Topham Hatt and a red cargo car keep Thomas company. Other items in the 25-piece set include a railroad-crossing sign, a stop sign, and a tree. The instructions clearly diagram how to assemble the track. The box has a handle and makes a good carrying case.--Andy Boynton』

Unlike the lunch set, this set is mainly hard plastic (not chewable rubber). Also, the strawberries were too small and choking hazards. I have decided to put away most of these items until he is much older. For now, we will stick to the rubber foods.』
(Generally Good, but could be better) 『I bought these for my 16 month old son for Christmas. They are good, but I was expecting better based on other reviews. A few items are made of harder plastic and a few of softer plastic. They are basicly life sized, with the exception of the lettuce and I think the apple is a bit small. Nothing was small enough that I felt it needed to be taken away until he is older. The coloration is a bit odd too, with some lighter areas. Maybe this is from the production, but it takes away from the naturalness. The pear's stem was broken when my son threw it on our tile floor and the tomato came with a dent in it. All that, however does not take away from the fact that my son likes to play with them and it has helped him to learn his fruits and veggies.』
(Great play food) 『I purchased this play food for my son who is 18 months old. I was pleasantly surprised when it came. I thought some of the food would be small or made from thin plastic and would not last long. I was wrong. All the pieces are made from a hard plastic that seems very durable. The only small pieces are the strawberries so if your child likes to put stuff in their mouth it might be a good idea to take these away from them. I was also impressed with the quality of the little shopping basket. It is very sturdy and well made. I highly recommend this product and brand if you are looking for something that will last.』
(This is the best toy I bought my little boy!) 『This is a great toy! The fruit is very realistic. In terms of durability, they are pretty good but are crushable if a child is rough enough. My little boy loves this toy in the bathtub too. The only thing I don't like is that the fruit pieces wound up all over the house and we just can't find the apple! : ) Very fun!』
(Play with your food!) 『This is a wonderful product! I bought this for my daughter when she was 1 year old and she plays with it constantly! The food is very realistic and actual size. It's by far, the best play food I've seen. It's a little pricey but definately worth it.』 『Learning Resources is a manufacturer of innovative, hands-on educational toys and products that set imaginations in motion.

Usually ships in 3 to 6 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Love it! So detailed!) 『This is a great little set to go with the Critters. Very well made, detailed and cute. You get complete bedding for the two beds, which can be used together or separately. You also get posters and school supplies to go with the dresser. We used some handi-tack to stick the posters on the wall of our dollhouse. Really fun! You should know that you do, indeed, get some very small parts with this set, (contrary to the other review). There are, for example, pencils that are extremely tiny - perhaps less than half an inch. If you have very small kids you may want to hold back the tiniest parts. Love Calico Critters and can't recommend them enough!』
(Darling, Just Like all of the Calico Critter Stuff) 『These little bunk beds are really cute. They can be stacked or put side by side. They come with a tiny ladder, two little mattresses, two pillows, and two blankets. They're made out of plastic, but are really nice looking.
My two and a half year old loves putting her rabbits to bed in them (they're just long enough for the bunnies' ears). There aren't any tiny parts with this set, so it's safe for younger ones (or children who have very young siblings).
I highly recommend Calico Critters products. They seem to be fairly durable considering how tiny they are. And my daughter (and me too!) loves to play with them.』 『It』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Webkinz Poodle) 『the nice thing about a webkinz is that it isn't just a toy. You can play online with it』
(Awesome!) 『This product was bought for my 10 yr old daughter as an Easter gift. She first recieved a webkinz last year (2007) and had requested more for holidays and birthdays. She enjoys playing with it online at webkinz.com. For the most part, the acutal Poodle just sits on her bed unless she's off to spend the night at a friends house or her younger siblings get a hold of it - which is quite often.
It's super soft and plushy. Great to cuddle with or stuff in a backpack on the way out the door.
Given the chance, I would buy this product again. I'd also recommend it to others. Infact, I've also purchased other products within the webkinz line and have not had any issues with any of them.
Who knew that something so simple could be so much fun!』
(Love it!!) 『My daughter is in LOVE with Webkinz! She gets SOOOO excited when she has a letter or package, and can't wait to do her daily Gem Hunt and Wheel of Wow. From a parents standpoint, it's teaching her to really care for a pet, and I love that feeding them veggies/fruits make the animals healthier. She is only 3yrs old, so I had to help her navigate at first, but she is really learning to recognize the words on the site, and can now sign on and play all by herself. I love playing the games too...I must say it's a lot of fun for parents too. Overall...a great idea...and would recommend it highly!』

(A Kid's Review.) 『This is one of the coolest webkinz they have out there! She is very soft and cuddly. My sister got this one about three months ago and it is not falling apart or anything. after we put it online (with no problems) we had a blast! as for educational value I would give this toy 5 stars, for example; the quickest way to earn kinzcash (which you can spend on your pet) is the educational quiz section where you can answer health, math, language, and other school related questions. you can do all sorts of rooms for your pet and have your friends come over and see them! they also have a kinzchat system where you use drop down menues to creat senteces, and no personal info can be sent! we have a fast internet browser on our computer which helps alot when logging in to webkinz, but occasionaly we have to log out on saturdays 'cause there are too many people trying to login and it freezes up. it works good on week day mornings though. I reccomend this webkinz for all animal lovers!』 『Discover a virtual world with Webkinz pets. Webkinz animals come with a special Internet code so your child can interact with it online.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Glittery Barbie Bride) 『My youngest daughter has recently developed a love for all things Barbie. We've had this particular doll sitting in her box in our basement for nearly a full year. Today we took her out. My daughter was instantly taken with her new Barbie. Our beautiful bride lost her shoes within the first 5 minutes. She had one shoe that simply would not stay on, so I took her shoes away. The veil was the next thing to go. My 3 year old became frustrated that her veil kept sliding down the back of her head and she asked me to just take it off. Now that all the pieces that won't stay put are out of the picture my daughter is happy. The first thing I noticed after the doll had been played with for a few minutes is that the dress is covering everything it comes in contact with in a coating of glitter. Thanks to Barbie I am not sitting on a glittery couch. My 3 year old is also covered in glitter. Poor kid looks like she got attacked with fairy dust. The doll's hair is actually decent. For some reason the cheaper Barbies tend to have the hair you can actually brush. My little one has already brushed it a few times today and her hair is doing well. The doll came with a cute ring for the little girl in your life. When you press on the dazzling gem it lights up and changes colors. Both my 3 and 7 year old daughters think this is just wonderful. All in all, I'd say this doll is pretty nice as far as Barbie doll go these days.』
(A little girl's dream) 『I bought this for my little girl who is about to turn 4. She has not seen it yet, but this is THE wedding doll that she thought was the prettiest one out of all that she had seen during our search. It was delivered very fast and in perfect condition. I can't wait to see her face light up on her birthday when she does get to finally open it!』
(wedding barbie is awesome) 『I bought a wedding day barbie for my 2 nieces as a thank you gift for being flower girls in my wedding. They absolutely loved them ! They carried them around for the entire reception. It is a well made toy that comes with a great light up ring for the girl that owns it.』
(Damaged boxes) 『I purchased 4 Wedding day Barbies for my Flower Girls and Jr. Bridesmaids. They were a gift from my wedding. The product boxes were all damaged but the box they were shipped in was was in good condition. One of the rings inside were broken which made for a very unhappy little girl, she was the only one without a ring. I was very disappointed with the quality of the individual boxes. Some of girls wanted them for keepsakes, but with damaged boxes they weren't able to display them in their original boxes.』
(cute new Barbie bride) 『There have been countless bridal Barbie dolls released over the years (not to mention individual wedding gowns), so this doll might seem a little predictable; nevertheless I'm sure she'll add a romantic touch to a little girl's Barbie collection...or even the adult collector.
'Wedding Day Barbie' is dressed for her umpteenth(!) wedding to Ken in a strapless white gown, secured at the waist by a pink ribbon. The full-skirted gown has a sheer net overlay covered in a glittery pink rosebud motif. Atop her head, she wears a white net veil attached to a pink plastic tiara. Barbie's makeup is very soft and romantic with only a small hint of glitter above her eyes. Her blonde hair is nicely styled into loose curls. In her right hand she carries a plastic "bouquet".
Children will also enjoy the bonus pink diamond "engagement ring" which, when pressed, lights up in different colours (it comes with replaceable button cell batteries). The companion groom Ken doll is available separately.』 『Wedding Day Barbie Doll is dressed for her fantasy wedding day and comes with a ring for girls to wear, too!

All it does is twist from side to side and sing.. but my boy loves it. Sure it doesn't sound like the hulk, however I think it's just supposed to be more boyish to be more appealing to a younger kid.』
(Hulkey Pokey Fun!) 『I got this toy for the little boy I nanny for, and he LOVES it!!! He's only one, but he knows how to turn Hulk on and loves to watch him sing and dance.

(Not much fun with this one!) 『Well my grandson asked for it and we bought it. When it arrived, I wondered why even a Five Year Old would ask for it. It does two movements and two songs.
