Potty Elmo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After some initial trouble getting it out of "store mode" and into "normal play mode" (we had to reinsert the plastic tab and pull it out again a couple of times), we have really had GREAT success with this toy! I have 27 month old twin girls. The first one trained herself at 23 months, and we have been working with the other one on and off since then. She is a HUGE Elmo fan, so when I saw this toy, I HAD to get it! We have had it a few days now, and I am happy to say that teaching Elmo to use the potty has taught my daughter to use the potty! I used this toy, along with a potty training book, and new Elmo Panties as a reward, and it really worked!
The only thing that is a bit tricky for my daughter is when Elmo asks for a drink, you have to trigger a button type thing in his mouth with the cup, and a lot of the time she missed it and I had to help her. But, that was minor. He is SO CUTE and so much fun!

Children will be encouraged to use the potty as they play with and care for plush, poseable Elmo. Elmo comes with a small book, sippy cup, removable training pants and potty. Squeeze Elmo's hand and he asks for a drink. Give him his sippy cup and he asks to go potty. Elmo sings a cute reward song when he uses the potty, and an encouraging song when he doesn't make it in time. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (included). Measures approximately 15" tall.

O Surveyors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a Christmas gift for a huge train buff. When I received it there were a few things broken off of the people and I was so upset that I wasn't going to have a gift for Christmas to give. I called the company who promptly shipped me a new package (perfectly intact) and they got it here in time for Christmas. No real educational value, but lots of enjoyment seeing it sitting on the train board.

Pokemon Virtual Trainer Basic Figure Pack: Brawly with Alakazam & Charizaro Review

Pokemon Virtual Trainer Basic Figure Pack: Brawly with Alakazam and Charizaro

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these and one of the comparable pokemon virtual trainer packs for my kids (5&7) for christmas. I thought the comments from manufacturer about how children can enjoy dueling each other or playing by themselves sounded great, and both my little guys love pokemon.
I admit it...I'm NOT a pokemon master, so when the toys arrived I simply wrapped them and put them under the tree...didn't notice anything wrong and they actually looked pretty cute.
Christmas morning comes, kids open their gifts, love the pokemon sets, open the rest of their presents, then say " we don't have a battle arena to play with our pokemon trainers!". They were so sweet about it, but I could tell they were quite dissapointed.
Turns out theres a whole game system called a V-Trainer 2.0 Electronic Battle Arena that is necessary to play with these trainers!!!!! Yes, that red game system shown in EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE of the photos of these pokemon toys does not come with these, and is absolutely essential to play with this toy.
I've spent over a week desperately searching for every variation of v trainer 2.0 electronic battle arena, but still have not been able to find this product. If I actually do find it, whoohoo...my kids finally get to stop being dissapointed and get to play with the toy, but now I have to spend what?>>>> $ another $50 or $60 getting them each a battle arena?
The worst option is that I'm never able to find these battle arenas, and in that case these toys are as good as trash.IN MY OPINION, THE AD FOR THIS TOY IS MISLEADING AT BEST.....I FINALLY LOCATED THE TEENSY TINY SMALL PRINT SAYING THE BATTLE ARENA ISN'T INCLUDED, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T SOMETHING THAT THE AVERAGE PARENT WOULD KNOW....VERGES ON FALSE ADVERTISING, IN MY OPINION.
To make matters worse....I've called 2 of our local toysrus stores....they've never heard of the necessary battle dome. Search engine here doesn't seem to locate it.
If anyone has been able to locate this elusive battle dome, 2.0, please post it so I can finally give my kids the toy I thought I was giving them on Christmas morning.
Terrible terrible ad....read carefully, and if you don't have v trainer 2.0 electronic battle arena, don't bother. Might as well throw the toy in the garbage, which is probably what we'll end up having to do. Big big dissapointment for my kids.

Trackmaster James Motorized Engine with Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The battery cover from this isn't secure so it falls off fairly easily along with the battery. Most of the other Trackmaster trains have a screw to prevent this from happening but this one doesn't. This is a bit hazardous as a little kid and batteries don't mix. I caught my 3 year old about to put the battery in his mouth.
The other annoying thing about it is it uses C batteries which is one of my pet peeves for children's toys. I'm all for using rechargeable batteries b/c kids will run these batteries dry fast and having to constantly replace the battery is a bit wasteful in my opinion. It would've been better if they used AA or AAA batteries which you can easily find rechargeable batteries for.
Lastly, after 2-3 weeks of play, one of the wires connecting the battery car to the motor car broke. I was able to splice the wire back together so all was not lost but it demonstrated how poorly made this toy is.
Other than those complaints, it runs well on the tracks and my kids have fun with it.

Radio Control Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - Leonardo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great fun but I was expecting a new toy which this wasn't. It came in strange packaging. It broke the first time the child played with it but it was fixed. I won't order from secondary sources again.

Leonardo is everything you'd ever want in a hero. He's dedicated, disciplined and selfless. Leo is a perfectionist with strong moral sense and maturity far beyond his fifteen years. Because of his serious responsible nature, Leo has become the "big brother" of the group, Splinter's right hand turtle, and the unofficial "leader" of the team. Because of his sharp mind and steely resolve, Splinter deemed that twin katana swords would suit Leo best and Leonardo has become quite a proficient swords-turtle.
