IPhone 3G used's review (Not as pictured, which is a good thing) 『I purchased this so that I could try blowing fog bubbles using a fog machine I already purchased. It actually works a lot better than I expected and produces a ton more bubbles than I was expecting. I did NOT recieve the product pictured. I either received a newer or older model, I am not sure, but it seems to be better than the one shown. The battery compartment seems to be reasonably well sealed and on the top of the unit, where there is no way it could get wet. Also, there is no pump of any kind. It uses gravity to feed the solution into the machine. I can't really see this one having the same problems as what I have heard unless it is just a piece of junk.
And now, the cons: My biggest problem with the machine is the way that it gets solution. In the model I received you invert the solution bottle and place it on the machine. It then uses gravity to fill the reservoir as needed. Cool in concept, but in practice is tends to spill more than I would like. Also, if you so much as touch the machine or think about having it on a surface that isn't completely level it will spill fluid through two small holes in the front. I believe they are there to prevent you from overfilling the machine and getting solution inside the works, but in practice they are poorly designed and are just there to spill solution.
This bubble machine actually produces too many bubbles for my small apartment so I am going to try watering down the solution in hopes of decreasing yield.』
(Hope's Mommy) 『I purchased this bubble michine for my doughter's 1st birthday and it was a big hit. All of the kid's had so much fun from the ages to 11mo old to 55years. the bubble michine put's out so many bubbles at a time how could you get board... It is a fragile michine so I do recomed adult supervision so it wont get broken easy. But totally fun, fun, fun!』
(Pretty good) 『This is a great bubble machine, but its made to set still in one place for it to work. It really uses alot of bubbles, really fast. I used 3 bottles in 1 hour and a half. The kids loved it at the party.』
(Set it an forget it) 『Turn it on and watch the little ones FREAK OUT! It eventually got clogged with old soap and was a minor pain to clean. It put out a good amount of bubbles and my kids loved it...they danced in the bubbles for hours.』
(bubble machine) 『I bought this machine for my 22 year old son who attends film school. He has used it numerous times for photo shoots. The pictures are awesome! If you would like to see a couple of them I can forward them to you. Thanks, Marilyn Sollee.』 『Ready to make billions of bubbles' It's easy with the Gazillion Bubble Machine. Fill it up, flip the switch and watch as gazillion amounts of bubbles continuously blow from the Bubble Machine. Requires 6 "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 8" x 7".』
IPhone 3G used's review (Watch out for your nose!) 『My 4 year old LOVES this toy. He calls it his workout and does it about twice a day...:) However, yesterday, he was punching the Venom side of it, and he hit it a little too hard. It shot back up and the plastic speaker/switch part of it hit him in the face and gave him a bloody nose. Ouch! They should cover that with something softer.』
(Spiderman moveds) 『I bought this for my cousin's 7 year old for Christmas and he can't get enough of it. I guess he's watched the video 100 times since getting it. His parents are sick of watching the video but he absolutely loves it. I couldn't have picked a better gift for a Spiderman lover.』 『Train to become your favorite superhero!

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Diego Rescue pack) 『The product was good, and Amazon's customer service great. But we've had the toy for about a month now and it seems there are some glitches. Perhaps it is the batteries, but this soon?』
(cute but doesn't always work) 『My son likes his rescue pack although it stops working for a few hours at a time. Also, it requires batteries that look like they would fit in a watch (not AA like this website lists).』
(Excellent toy for a 2 year old boy) 『My sister bought this toy for my son's second birthday. He immediately recognized it from the tv show and said "Rescue Pack!!" and was very excited about it. He is more interested in the backpack portion than the things that are inside of it, but I can see that being he case because he is only 2. The pack contains a plastic baby jaguar animal and a shoe (??) which in the picture, I think it is supposed to be a cast for baby jaguars foot. I guess you could make believe baby jaguar got hurt and check him out with the steth-a-scope provided and then cast his foot(?) I am assuming this is how it would work. There is also a small plastic tapier and a sort of flimsy card that goes along with it.
The rescue pack sings the "Rescue Pack Song", and my son loves it and dances to it every time, but I must say- it is very loud and there is no volume control on this toy. After the 80th time in a row, it can get a little annoying to me, but my son does love it.
Pros: Bright and colorful- lively and fun face on the rescue pack. Catchy song kids will recognize from the show A couple nice toys inside that kids will play with, including baby Jaguar and a water/food bowl. Seems durable enough, for a plastic toy.
Cons: Loud- no volume control Very difficult for a small child to open No straps that a child could use to wear on his back, like Diego does.
Overall a very decent toy for a child who likes Diego.』
(Great toy) 『All three of my children love this toy - especially the fact that it plays music. My youngest is a Diego fan, so this was right up his alley. The only thing I can't figure out, is why there is just one shoe included in the backpack. Oh, well :)
I wouldn't say this toy is extremely educational - except for that fact that they are using their imagination. But, it is a great toy!』
(Fun but LOUD!) 『Very LOUD! We ended up putting packaging tape over the speaker holes which helped tremendously. Can't even tell it's there. (Round the corners so it doesn't peel up). Our 4 year old was so excited about it, and has played with it only 2-3 times since Christmas (It's Jan 10). He begged and begged for it.... But, truthfully, when you get lots of new toys at once sometimes you forget what all you have to play with. I know he loves it. I wish it had straps on the back so he could actually wear it.』 『Be prepared for adventures in the wild with everything you need to help Diego rescue his animal friends. Talking Rescue Pack includes all the tools to care for animals in need: clipboard chart, food and water dish, stethoscope, animal cast, and of course, Baby Jaguar. Press Rescue Pack's mouth to hear four fun phrases, real animal sounds and his signature song from the show. Also includes an exclusively marked Tapir figure scaled to fit Diego's playset and a fun animal fact card. Requires 2 "AA" batteries, included.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Adorable) 『My daughter loves ladybugs and this was one of her favorite Christmas presents!My daughter is 8 and I was worried this would be too young for her, but she loves it.Very inexpensive and lots of fun!!!』
(Good value) 『My girls got two of these bugs (a bee and a ladybug) at Christmas. They enjoy playing with them to this day (summer, now) and the toys are still in good shape in spite of being run into furniture and brick walls.』 『Flap, flap, flap.

Measures approximately 7"L.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Fun for pretend play) 『We have the Learning Resources cash register, and my 4-year-old daughter loves it! So, we bought this to add to the pretend play. She loves to "open" and "close" the store with the sign as well as play with all the other signs, the "sale" especially. Apron is cute, too, and nice that you can personalize it. Boxes of food that it comes with won't last very long as they are just thin cardboard. We tried to reinforce by taping-we'll see how that goes. Overall good toy to coordinate with the cash register.』
(Playing Store) 『This was a Christmas gift to my 7 year old granddaughter to go along with a cash register. It is a nice complement to play store. It would be nice if it were to include a few more pieces of fruit, vegetables, potatoes and other items to sell.』 『Encourage pretend play with this complete 93-piece Supermarket Set. Kids will have everything they need to open up a pretend grocery store. Little grocers can sport a cotton green apron and a nametag while they're working the imaginary checkout line.

Set comes with assorted dry-erasable sale signs, coupons, assorted plastic coins, paper play money, pretend credit card and shopping lists. For twice the fun, use this set with the Learning Resources' Deluxe Calculator Cash Register Sets (sold separately). Shopping Basket measures 8" x 10-3/4".』
IPhone 3G used's review (Very well designed) 『Bought this toy for my 2 1/2 yr-old Grandchild, and even if he doesn't seem to be a "destructive" type of boy, he did handle it with no restrictions. In spite of that, the truck works OK, and the ladder is intact. I liked the fact that there are several choices for the electronics. Siren sounds, messages, etc The fireman figure received a good deal of handling, but remains in one piece. I recommend this truck for any kid 3 or more year-old.』
(Tonka fire engine) 『Overall the fire truck was of good quality. However the lights don't fuction correctly. Appears to be durable product otherwise.』
(Awesome Truck! NO SIREN!) 『My son is 2&1/2 and he loves this fire truck. Santa brought it to him and he played with it for an hour before he looked at any other present! The ladder rotates 360 degrees with a little noise and the lights work but there is no siren! It's a great toy that won't grate on your nerves!』
(Funrise Toys are NOT made like the Tonka Toys.) 『We bought our 3 yo son the Tonka MIGHTY MOTORIZED FIRE ENGINE as a Christmas present. The truck EATS 4 C batteries, why they did not design it to use D batteries is beyond me. Anyway, out of the box the truck has 4 AA batteries installed using a clelver adapter, I guess to save cost. How cheap! My son loved this fire truck and played with it for many hours...but after about a week of play the truck no longer moves (FWD or REV). I tryed to contact Funrise, but they would not even return an email. Not even the automated acknowledgement. This company is a real POS. Either Mattel does not know this or they do not care. But stay away from all things Funrise!』
(Hours of Fun) 『The child who received this toy did not stop playing with it for hours. They really put it through the wringer and it held up. A great product.』
IPhone 3G used's review (One of the Nicest Sets) 『After the kitchen set, this is probably one of the best sets to have for your dollhouse. It comes with lots of pieces. The drawer opens in the buffet table, the tablecloth and chair covers are removeable, and there are several food pieces (cupcake tower, tea set, etc.). It also has much nicer colors and fabrics than the other sets.
Other reviewers that have said more chairs would be nice, but I would take that a step further. A long rectangle table with room for the family would be more fun.』
(Goes well with the set) 『Anything more to this set and it would not have fit in the "Fisher Price Loving Family Dollhouse"
Nicely done, my DD likes this set quite a bit and oohed and ahhed when she unwrapped it. She likes the clock and the tea set. Sure, 2 chairs is a little skimpy but I think having 4 would have frustrated her to no end trying to set it up by herself.
Well built and withstands the attentions of her 3 year old brother. :) I'm also happy with the lack of sound/light effects here, not everything needs to be an overkill.』
(Nice Amenities) 『I like this toy for little girls, it's sweet, I like the food and table service, more chairs and more room in the actual doll house for them would be great though』
(Nice addition to the dollhouse) 『I purchased this room as an accessory to the twin time dollhouse. It comes with the table, tablecloth which can be removed, 2 chairs with covers, 2 place settings, a cake, buffet table with opening drawer, and a grandfather clock. My daughter thinks its very cute and so do I. The only problem with it is that it only comes with 2 chairs and that it just fits into the room in the dollhouse. Any bigger and it wouldn't fit.』
(Lifelike) 『This is a cute set and looks lifelike. The furniture is too big for the room in the dollhouse. Not just the dining room but all of it. I think it is hard for tiny hands to maneuver in the rooms with the dolls and furniture. The set itself is made well....the child learns because it looks like a real set.The set is durable and takes a lot of abuse from my two year old.』 『Deck out the Loving Family Grand Dollhouse with this coordinating furniture set. It features tiny details and lots of mini must-haves to make life cozy for the Loving Family. For use with the Loving Family Grand Dollhouse, sold separately.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (I love these!) 『Very cool. They are filled with liquid but so far neither my 2 year old nor my 4 year old has had any success with smashing them open.』
(To those who've had problems with this product....) 『To those who have complained about leaks, you must not know that Learning Curve guarantees all of the Thomas products for life. Just contact them and they will replace the piece. Even if your child snaps a piece of track in half or whatever. Their customer service is great.』
(What A Neat Addition To The Thomas Line!) 『These trains came securely package from Amazon, and my 5 year old son loves them!
He's had them for 4 months, and no sign of leakage. (And believe me, he's rough on them! He stores his trains in a Thomas backpack, so they are jostled around with wooden and die-cast trains.)
The pale blue liquid is clear enough to see the pink octopus and gray shark, and the plastic encasement is very thick.
What a fun addition to the Thomas line, especially if your child has the "Down At The Docks" picture book that these trains are based upon.』
(It's a little leaky) 『These trains are very neat and my sons loved them when we first got them. They each have been through two sets with the same result...the water leaks out after you've had them awhile. They are not worth the money. I highly recommend investing in another train instead of the aquarium cars. This was the first time my guys have been disappointed with a Thomas product.』
(Fantastic!) 『Okay, in my opinion, this is just about the neatest addition to a train set out there. We first saw this at a (...) store and my son just couldn't take his eyes (or his hands!) off of it, so the Easter Bunny brought him a set. Boy, what a great idea that was! These guys go along the track all the time, never stop, and we just can't believe how neat they are. We don't have any trouble with the leaking (although there were some in the store that were dried out...) or with the windows being too dark. I really personally just love this set and its uniqueness. What a great idea!』 『All aboard the next stop along the learning curve . . . kids three and up will enjoy the magical adventures of the ever-popular Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System.
