Agree with the previous reviewer... the magnets are so weak that even the slightest pull or turn detaches one car from the next. My sons never play with this one and instead focus on the white, express train from Plan Toys that has plastic attachers that stay attached.

Plan City Local Train is a compliment to any Plan Toy Road and Rail set. The red carriages are magnetically connected so children are able to assemble and disassemble the trains easily. Children learn how magnets work. For even more fun, the set can be played in conjunction with other Plan City sets.

Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Swirlin Surprise Gumballs Review

Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Swirlin Surprise Gumballs
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this for my seven-month old and he immediately loved it. It took him no time to learn how to press the blue handle down and get one of the peek-a-rounds gumballs to come out. The top only has room for four or five of the peek-a-rounds (it comes with four: teddy bear, candy, lollipop and ring), so I had to stand by and continuously put more on the top as he pressed the handle. Whenever the handle is pressed, the gumball machine plays a short tune. It also has a switch to turn the songs off or control the volume. There is a yellow turn handle at the front that makes a clicking noise when turned. My son really likes that too. One reviewer said this handle was hollow and dangerous. Mine is not hollow, so perhaps it was changed (for the better!). One thing I don't like about this toy is that it doesn't have a very solid base; my son easily, and frequently tips it over. That doesn't seem to detract from his fun though.

Bachmann Trains E-Z Command Digital Command Control Turnout - Right Review

Bachmann Trains E-Z Command Digital Command Control Turnout - Right
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm using this turnout with basic Bachmann's DCC controller. I've both the left and the right turnout, and this review applies to both of them.
No problems with operation of turnout so far. Operation was relatively easy, once I actually read the instructions.
It seems that turnout is hard-coded at address 9. Looking at instructions, there doesn't seem to be a way to assign it to a different address. I'm rather new to DCC world, so I have no idea if this is standard for all DCC turnouts or limitation of Bachmann's turnouts. By default, the turnout is toggled by pressing function key 3 on the controller. The function key that toggles the controller, as well as default direction on power on (factory default is straight) is easy to change to any function key between F1 and F8. If more then one turnout is assigned to the same function key, they will be all toggled at the same time (meaning, you can setup up to 8 turnout groups).
Depending on DCC controller, it's more complicated to operate then old turnouts with dedicated control switch. On my simple entry-level DCC controller, I need to switch from locomotive's address (e.g. 1) to turnout's address (hard-coded to 9), then press another button to switch to function mode, operate turnouts, press function button again to switch to selecting address mode, select locomotive's address to be able to control it again, then do the procedure all over again when I want to operate turnout. I wouldn't know if this is limitation of the basic DCC controller that I have, or if better (more expensive) DCC controllers allow operating turnouts in a more efficient way (e.g. without loosing control of the locomotive). On the plus side, there are no additional wires like with the old-style turnouts. The turnout can be operated manually as well.
Unlike Bachmann's manual turnout that's packaged with their train sets, train will not derail if turnout is switched the "wrong way" when train goes over it.

Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Rampage Review

Transformers Movie 2  Deluxe Rampage
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I picked up three transformers a couple days ago at target and Rampage is the more impressive Constructicons so far. I got Demolisher and Rampage at the same time but honestly I was really looking forward to Demolisher cuz he looked awesome in the trailer throwing Prime around. Anyways he turned out to be a bit of a let down in robot mode but not so with Rampage. In vehicle mode he is a bulldozer and from there turns into a jackhammer gimmick and then his robot mode. I didn't have trouble converting transformers from the last movie but for some reason these have gave me trouble but I blame it on the directions, sometimes the illistrations get confusing. His robot mode kinda reminded me of Motoro from Mortal Kombat the half man half horse. So until I find the rest of the 'Cons, Rampage is my new fav.

Not really sure why I bought this rerailer. I didn't had any persisting derailing problems so far to justify it. It's exactly the same thing as the one with power terminal, just missing the connector and half the price per piece. So if you don't need it for supplying power for your layout (e.g. you already have the one with power connector), probably more economical choice (note, for basic figure 8 you'll need the one with power connector).

My grandson Parker loves trains and Grandpa and I decided this Christmas we would get him a train that would start him into train collecting. Of course we made the choice of a Lionel. This train is so sturdy, so life-like. We cannot wait to see his face on Christmas Eve. Grandpa has built a table and we are currently having a ball decorating it with buildings, people and landscaping. Grandpa does not want to come up from the basement. Parker is only 5 so he will be supervised. Due to the electricity involved this is probably more for a child of 8, however between Grandpa and Daddy, he probably won't get a chance to operate it until he is 8. Dawn

I bought this game for my three year old even though the package said it was for a four year old. She is advanced for her age so I thought she would do well with it. Unfortunately she will not let me show her how to use the control. She will play along with me as I play the game but then gets frustrated and wants to try her self and that creates more frustration. I think it will be great for year in about six months or so. The one thing I did not like was that since it was titled V-motion and the package stated it would be more physically interactive I expected just that. Unfortunately it is not as physically interactive as I would have hoped.

I just completed Grandma's house which is the same type of easy construction as the Sullivan's. There are several of these same designed house kits by Model Power which offer the model railroader hobby a different set up for a small township and such. These are very straight forward and basic beginner kits that may be painted as I do with mine or left alone for the novice, either way they will fit any need for HO (1:87th scale).
Have fun and build a railroad!

Fisher Price GeoTrax CARS Track Pack with Trev Review

Fisher Price GeoTrax CARS Track Pack with Trev
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this toy becuase of the theme, CARS, and becuase I read good reviews of GeoTrax from Fisher Price. I was impressed how sturdy the toy is, and how well my two grandchildren can work it! The children are 2 and 4.
Having raised two boys, race sets of the past were very tempermental. The GeoTrax are sturdy (you can put the trax together and pick the whole thing up without it falling apart. Now, for small children it would be difficult to BUILD the track, but once set up for them they can play for days without track trouble.
The cars are remarkable - they will run on the track or floor, so if the car comes off the track, it keeps going. I also noted that even if the car was not quite perfectly placed on the track, it would generally straighten up on the track by itself. the kids were pushing 3 and 4 cars along the track with the one remote control car. I bought the mega set, plus one more RC set and another track set. This allowed for each child to have an RC car that goes forward and backwards with a very easy RC controller. The RC is very easy and moves with the kids. The batteries last well too, and I bought rechargeables so Mom doesn't have to keep buying batteries. We are looking for more track sets to make the track bigger.
The cars set does not have the same trax as the train set - I don't know why they didn't make these compatable.

Catan Histories: Settlers of America Trails to Rails Review

Catan Histories: Settlers of America Trails to Rails
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Settlers of America- Trails to Rails is a great variation on a great game. My family and friends have been playing Catan and its expansions for years, so when I saw this as a pre-order on another web site, it caught my attention. Using the trading, robber, and probability controlled resource production mechanics of Catan, Trails to Rails adds the element of money, covered wagons, railways, and locomotive driven deliveries which replaces the point system, cities, ports, and bonuses (like longest road or army). The resources are Wood, Grain, Ore, Steer, and Coal. The artwork is very attractive and done by the same artist who did the 4th version of Catan, and fits well with the theme of Manifest Destiny.
Other than the fact that I enjoy the theme, I also like that during the game it seems as if you can build or do at least one thing per turn; there is very little time waiting while there is a famine of 8s or 6s (if you have played Catan you will know what I mean), or the robber is on your only source of coal.
**For those that have not played Settlers of Catan** I would venture to guess that since the rules are very well written, no prior knowledge of Catan would be needed. Plus, there is a very good explanation of how to play on their web site, so check it out before purchasing. Give yourselves a few hours to play, have stimulating conversations, eat some ice cream, and for your wife to feed your 5 month old; playing a Catan game is more of an event than a quick diversion. The pieces are a very sturdy wood, and the board and box are hefty enough to last; but, the pieces are small, so, make sure to keep them away from little mouths (human or otherwise). In a world of fast paced do-dads and gadgets that tie us to work 24-7, Trails to Rails (and other Catan games) is a great diversion that allows for fellowship and fun.
Altogether, this game will keep its space on my shelf next to Agricola, Puerto Rico, Twilight Struggle, and Settlers of Catan for those days we want to relive the romanticized days of the Oregon Trail, Trans Continental Railroad, Robber Barons, and Little House on the Prairie (at least for my wife). Pros:
- Great theme for anyone that is a fan of U.S. History and Settlers of Catan
- Appealing artwork; U.S.A. made out of Catan hexes looks better than expected
- Simple game mechanics that allow for solid strategic game play
- More balanced game play than a random map and numbers game of Catan
- Extraordinary building phase (can build on other persons turn)
- Rail system and a built in compulsion to move West (similar to Seafarers island scenarios)both historical and interesting
Cons:
- Not modular like the original Catan, so the game becomes less varied (only some of the numbers can be changed, others are printed on the game board, but this can be modified with a little help from other Catan number pieces)
- Some geographical historical inaccuracies (Las Vegas being a destination for early settlers for example)
- Although problematic in regards to being P.C. it would have been nice to see the Native Americans have a larger role in the game (in all fairness though, they are used on one card and mentioned in the history section of the rule book).
- Unlike the product features suggests, it does not have as near as much the replay value of Settlers of Catan and its expansions
- My wife does not like losing
*Why only four stars? Because next to Agricola, Puerto Rico, and the original Settlers of Catan, which are in the category of games that I would place Trails to Rails, this game, although very fun, is not quite at the level of these others so for the sake of differentiation I gave it a very well deserved four stars.

The 19th Century has arrived and America is heading west. Settlers form wagon trains and create long trails as they leave the east behind. Their goal as they strike out towards the fertile land of the vast prairies is to grow crops and claim grazing lands for their hungry herds of cattle. As more people head west, new cities pop up. But the vast distances between them require a new form of transportation for vital goods...the railroads!
In Settlers of America: Trails to Rails, you'll experience the pioneer days of the old west! A large and beautiful map of the United States utilizes the simple yet fun Catan hex-tile system of play. Players collect and trade resources in order to purchase and move settlers, build cities, lay rails, and acquire and move trains. Rail links allow them to acquire gold, which allows them to buy resources and use other player's rails. Fulfill your manifest destiny by being the first to use your trains to deliver 8 goods to your opponent's cities and win the game!

My son was given this item as a gift for his 1st birthday. He was immediately drawn to it and started playing with the blocks right away (of course that is not unusual for a new toy).
The good things: He still enjoys playing with it after months of it being around, bright colors, sturdy design, compact folding and storage, perfect height for him. Also, I know you can buy more blocks to go with it as the child grows and develops.
The bad things: you just have to make sure the legs are locked into place (not that big of a deal), and it doesn't come with a maid to clean up after my son!
Overall this is a great toy, and my son and I are very pleased.
