what a joke
bought it a year ago and it never did work at all
also it wouldnt fit comfortably on the childrens heads

Bad toy, bad!
-the batteries died out in two days -you hear nothing in the radio but junk -You can't adjust the mic to fit your head -i'm a fan of *Nsync so i bought it because i love them, and the only thing ''*Nsyncish'' about it is the puny *Nsync sticker at the side! -it's boring ...stupid, it's a bad toy, bad! don't buy it!

-BoRiNg!-
it's not great! all you hear in the radio is a bunch of blah and static,and it's so boring! the adjustable microphone!? yea rite! you even fit it on your head and the mic can't get adjusted to your mouth! overall,this toy is ... boring! don't buy it! it's a waste of time and money!

It stinks!
It's so stupid! It does nothing all you do is hear you all static into the radio. You cant sing to CDs you can only sing to the stations in the 100.00 places. I think its the stupidest toy. I dont even play with it any more!! ... Read more

It ok
Its a cool phone but the picture needs to show more detail and tell more about it. I didnt want to get it because i didnt even know where i would punch in the phone number so either tell more about it in the description or show more in the picture!

Sponge-o-rific
this is an great phone for a kid 7-14. it is a flip phone shaped ljike spongebob. the onle weaird this is that there is an on of switch.

It works really well
I was up at my cousins house and she had one so I thought i would check it out. It's really a cool phone. When you open it, it looks like the inside of spongbob! You listen thru his brain and talk thru his pants. The numbers are on the back along with the on button (which I found was odd that you had to turn it on with a button.) He has feet and arms so he can sit or stand. I give this item a 4 star! ... Read more

this is cool
My son who was 4yrs old when he got this toy and loved it and is still playing with it. Also its great for the entire family.

Got Tanked
What an excellent toy for children of all ages. I came across this toy at last years super bowl party and everyone had a blast. Whoever was "chomped" had to take a shot. We played numerous times, dropped it a bunch (aka wonderful durability)and became obscenly intoxicated. Put away the cards, a new game has been found and it is sure to entertain you and your friends.

Great fun, no pieces
I am a dental hygientist and this toy is the hit with kids from 2 thru 15!! I give it 5 stars, somehow it found its way home with a patient and now I am so glad I found it again.

Piece of junk
It broke, I swear, the second time my child touched the teeth. I have never seen a toy do that. Maybe I just got a lemon.

Great for playdates, but a bit fragile
We are on our third crocodile dentist! It is a wonderful wonderful toy that my developmentally delayed preschooler and his typical friend all LOVE. But I carry it to the park in a large toy bag and the past two copies have broken...when you press a tooth it won't stay down anymore. A good way around this might be to keep it in a box of it's own.

This is also a wonderful toy for parents following the RDI Steve Gutstein social therapy for children with Autism. Because this toy has an element of surprise, as you press each tooth you never know if this is the tooth that will cause the jaw to snap shut! Note: the snapping shut is fairly gentle and safe for preschoolers! ... Read more

Great Concept but poorly made
My mother purchased this item for my daughter for her December Birthday. My daughter loved the item, however she didn't want to let me know that there was a short in the electrical cord because she knew I would insist that it be returned. We returned it and bought another one exactly like it from another store and it also had an electrical short in the cord. We then decided to switch to another brand and have had no problems at all.

It's a great concept with nice features, but it's not safe or durable enough for children's use.

Hate it - going back
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. We took it out of the box - plugged it in and can not get the CD player to play. One time - it did finally play and then after that - nothing. How in the world could my 4 year old get this to work if I cannot get it to work myself. It is not a durable item and frankly - not quality made. I'm taking this back and checking out the Disney CD player instead.

Great Value For your Money
This barbie boombox is so cute. It plays radio (fm and am), plays cds, and cassette tapes. The boombox can tape music from the radio and i am sure that it can record from cd to cassete.

I recieved this product for a birthday present and fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. It is barbie themed and has a rose on it. I would recomend this product for a barbie fanatic, or a girl who likes barbie. I use the boombox every day and i think it is a very ingenious product produced by mattel.

Entertainment for all!
I just got this for my daughter's 5yr old birthday and she loves it! The only disappointment was the microphone doesn't pickup unless your mouth is touching it and there is no on/off button for the mic that can be switched on and off. Rather there is a button that the child must keep pressed down w/ her finger while singing. ... Read more

Basic Game only
For a beginner to Dominoes, this is a nice a little game. Unfortunately for those hard-core players, they will find this game a bit too basic. One is unable to play off the initial spinner and points are not accumulated during the game. Again, a good game for the basic player - boring to the advance player.

Double Six Dominoes - Do really know DOMINOES? Then try it!
The Excaliber Double Six Dominoes handheld game - what more could you expect from dominoes? Surely a fine crafted instrument such as this may fill all your hours of interests with domino games! As a recent author on dominoes game books (the best selections of games and most up to date variations is my forte) I highly recommend a decent electronic handheld such as this one for your down time between participating compatriots rounds of playing dominoes and for your own pursuit of honing your skills further. I know what I say - the plays the thing! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Improve your bridge game even when you can''t put a foursome together with this portable bridge computer. The computer plays American 5-card, ACOL, and French 5-card bridge as well as rubber or duplicate bridge. The Pro Bridge 610 automatically shuffles and deals the virtual cards and the large screen shows your hand and your partner's hand and keeps track of the score and how many tricks have been made. The black-and-white screen layout can be a little confusing at first as it is much less intuitive than the colorful online bridge game layouts that many players are used to for practice. However, the intuitive button layout makes it easy to place bids and beginners can even retract bids to give themselves a second chance. Other beginner options include a hint button, which offers advice during play; a "view hand" function, which shows all hands; and a setting for watching the computer play against itself. Players can save games already in progress and resume them at any time. Pro Bridge 610 runs on three AAA batteries or an AC adapter (neither are included). --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Pro Bridge 610 not ready for prime time
This is not a well thought out product. The buttons are small and their low contrast labels are difficult to decipher. Most problematic of all is the overall user interface. Any serious bridge fanatic is used to a PC or Palm application with logical graphics showing opponents where they sit at the table. This machine's fixed LCD characters and non-intuitive layout make simply following the game a chore. I found I had to constantly pause and get my bearings about where dummy was situated and which positions the rapid-fire computer was drawing cards from. That makes it hard to even remember the cards played and, often, what the contract even is. Another issue is the playing convention itself. Not being configurable, I found myself making the wrong assumptions about my 'partner's' hand. For instance, I made a straightforward Blackwood response to a 4NT bid and the computer left me stranded at the 5 level in a suit I barely owned. This toy goes back muy pronto. Hey Bridge Baron! Make an elegant hand-held bridge system and you can own the world!!

Helps me keep my game sharp
I much prefer to play with friends, but the Pro Bridge 610 is a pretty good way to play and getter better atthe game. The button layout takes some getting used to, but the screen is big, and has lighting.

My Father Returned his
I bought this for my father, age 73, but still a great bridge player.
He wore out his old Shadow Bridge 612 handheld.
He returned the pro bridge 610 because he couldn't get the sound to work
and found the keys hard to read--dark on dark print not a good idea. ... Read more

The colorful Hoberman Mini Sphere comes out of the box looking like a futuristic Christmas-tree ornament. It's a cross between a ball and a star, and measures 5.5 inches across. But pick it up by any one of its dozens of plastic points and this amazing little feat of engineering, or imagineering, expands neatly into a lattice-like globe that's 12 inches in diameter. The inventor calls it a trapezoidal icosatetrahedron; you could also call it aBucky Ball, but either way, it's a fascinating exercise in complex simplicity. The structure is rigid enough to roll and throw, yet if touched in the right way, it will suddenly collapse again, curling in on itself like a defensive hedgehog. An enclosed pamphlet describes various tricks you can do--if you're prepared to practice. And it's so aesthetically pleasing that Mom or Dad may swipe it for a desk ornament. --Richard Farr ...

Not really that interesting
After all of the things I had heard about this, and other reviews, I expected a really great office toy. But it's not. Ok, that it expands is cool -- but it doesn't expand very much, so there is no real "Wow!" kind of surprise. There is some fun in opening and closing it -- but no more (and maybe a bit less) than with a Slinky(tm).

So, it's a bit of fun but not a whole lot. Best as a decoration that you will rarely pick up and use.

Simply Amazing!
After seeing this toy in the mall, I just had to order it from Amazon for my daughter. It's like a toy you can't put down and figuer out. It's simply amazing how he designed and fit all the pieces together. An architects dream, a childs wonder! After 6 months, we still enjoy picking it up, rolling it and watching it collaps and expand.

Not strong enough for my house
We have 4 kids in our house and every time we saw this in a toy store, they played with it. I gave it to them on a Friday and by Monday night, it wouldn't collapse any more. They did have fun pulling on it and rolling it around, but it is not made to handle the tug of war games my 3 and 4 year olds put it through. It's fairly expensive for a toy that just opens and closes and isn't very durable. I don't see how people can say it's educational except to teach colors. It's like saying a ball or a slinky is educational. I wouldn't recommend this toy to a family with active children.

A generational toy - with improvements
As a kid I had a metal collapsable ball with foldable edges and plastic beads, which could be compressed into an amazing assortment of shapes, also into a ball of about 12" in diameter, or, for that matter, a 12" pancake. It was one of my favorites, and I wanted to find something similar for my children. I missed out on them, but was delighted to find the Hoberman toys for my grandkids. The larger ones (and obviously the most fun) are far beyond my budget, but this mini is perfect for my 11 year old. Thanks, Hoberman, you have saved the day, and given me something to swipe on occasion.

Not good to play with!!
My sister got this toy for her birthday and she really doesn't like it. I think the same way. All this thing does, is open and close. The design is nice but we didn't feel like looking at it all day. We tried to play catch with it but the thing just broke apart. We put it back together and tried to do different things with it, but it just kept coming apart. Now it is sitting in our closet and hasn't been touched since. If you want this toy just for it to sit there, then I guess you could buy it. If you expect to play with it at all, DON'T BUY IT. IT WILL JUST BE A WASTE OF MONEY!!! ... Read more
