Adorable!
I bought this phone for myself because I love Hello Kitty. I figure, I'll hand it down to my daughters (maybe..lol) when they are old enough. This phone has caller Id and the wings light up when it rings. It is very well made.

I LIKE THIS HELLO KITTY TELEPHONE!
I HAVE THIS HELLO KITTY TELEPHONE ,I BOUGHT IT AT TARGET FOR MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ,SHE LOVES IT!IT,S SO CUTE.THE WINGS LIGHT UP!She has dropped it several times also and it is durable!

Just how cute is this?!?
I (the mom) needed a new phone in my room. We just happened to find this phone in a Sanrio store. I had to beg and plead with my 4 yr. old daughter to let me keep it in my room, but to no avail. I guess she thinks only "little" girls can like Hello Kitty!! So, its in her pretty pink Hello Kitty room and how cute is it when the phone rings? The little angel wings light up along with the little heart wand!! I had to call her a million times...with the lights off in the room! Its got caller ID and the sound is pretty good. All in all..its adorable. A definite must if you're a fan of all things cute!! ... Read more

With this mini refrigerator, kids can enjoy their favorite refrigerated snacks right in their own rooms or take them on long car trips without worrying about spoiling. The fridge fits six cans of soda and, with the top rack installed, fits four sodas, a sandwich and a few pieces of fruit. To open the fridge, kids must rotate the handle before pulling it, which ensures that the door won't spontaneously open while in transport. The fridge weighs a lightweight 8.2 pounds when empty and has a handy carrying handle on its top for easily moving it from room to car and back. A few sheets of removable decals are also included to personalize the fridge a little more. This mini refrigerator includes a 12-volt car adaptor and has an on/off switch in addition to a plug. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Great present
My son got this for Christmas he was 11 at the time now he is 12 and he LOVES this. He has it in his bedroom and it is great when he has a sleepover and they are in his room playing video games etc I buy him those little cans of pepsi and they fit prefect in there along with some sandwiches! Great item for him he loves it!

Great Product
I have to disagree with the reviewer who stated that the unit was too small for a sandwich, yogurt and drink. This product was purchased as a gift for me and I use it for almost everything - fruit, sandwiches and drinks most of the time, and it keeps them fresh and cold without any problems. I've kept two 12oz sodas in cans, a sandwich, and 2 snack-sized puddings all in the unit at the same time - with room to spare. Although not extremely large, you should be able to hold a sandwich, yogurt, and drink with no problems.

And yes, the booklet contained with the unit does indeed state "food should be consumed within 1 hour of putting it in the unit." This did worry me immediately after I opened the package, however, before passing judgment I plugged it up and found that the unit gets as cold as my larger refrigerator. I even had to turn it off for a day as ice began to form on the back wall. I've used it for 5 months now with no problems at all (4 months without break, continuously on). I cannot comment on the company, as I've never had to contact them. I probably would be upset to know that they do not have a contact in case of warranty, but I have had no problems. This is a genius idea and saves money on the mini-fridges that you normally see. It works just as well in my opinion. If you're truly worried about food poisoning, simply eat any questionable food within 24 hours. But if you're using it to store your lunch in, it shouldn't be a problem.

If you have a child or teen, pick this item up for them - they'll love it. No more having to get up late at night to get a cold drink or snack, this thing takes care of that problem. And if you're older and need to keep items cold during travel, or need something to keep food and drink cold at the office or in your home, you'll definitely appreciate this product.

Wonderful alternative to more pricey ones
Great item for dorm or car, and comes with an adapter for both. MUCH cheaper and larger than other brands, In fact they sell another one like this without the little window for about $70.00! even if you shut it off for a day or two, it still stays cool on the inside. holds just like they say, 6 cans without the shelf. very good : )

Perfect for my office!
I bought this little gem to keep my daily 64 oz. ration of water cool in my own office instead of the communal office refrigerator. I couldn't be happier with it. It takes up very little space (definitely a plus!) I have discovered that it will comfortably hold 3-16 oz. bottles of Fruit2O water while I'm drinking the 4th one. It's worked so well we're thinking about buying my grandmother one for her room at the nursing home. If you only need to keep a few things cool at a time (like my water, or perhaps a soda, sandwich, and a piece of fruit--whatever strikes your fancy) this is DEFINITELY a great product for the money.

Stay Away... Stay Very Far Away From This Mini-Fridge
I purchased this fridge hoping to use it in my office for a sandwich, yogurt and drink. First of all, it is incredibly tiny. Too tiny for my purposes. Second, the instruction booklet that accompanies the unit states that food should be consumed within 1 hour of putting it in the unit (lest someone risk death by dying of food poisoning). The unit doesn't cool to a safe temperature. I put a thermometer in it and it cooled to an unsafe 52 degrees. I tried to call the 800 # (which is located on the back of the fridge and in the instruction booklet) to ask some questions. I reached a "trouble shooting center." Problem is that 2 people I spoke with NEVER HEARD OF THE FRIDGE and didn't know what the heck I was talking about. I also tried to find the manufacturer on the Internet. Shock of shocks, the phone number I found and called was disconnected. So, "caveat emptor" ("let the buyer beware"). If you want to throw your money away, this is the place to do it. I really feel taken.... ... Read more

Waste!!!!!!
If I could, I would give this 0 stars. I used to want one when I saw the commercial, and then I saw them at target. First of all, they don't respond to you! All you do is push two buttons, they dance, they make a noise; that's it! Don't waste your money. Instead, I would highly recommend getting a tamagotchi.

FUN FUN FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got a aquapet. It is soooooooooooooo fun. If you want you'r children to learn how to take care of a pet, you should get one. It will keep them busy for a long time.I think that they are cute.

responsibility
before u get rover i strongly seggest that u get an aquapet. they are a very good lesson in responsibility and they r very cute!! peace out!!

Aquapets Are Awesome
I love my aquapets. I think they are really cool and I think everyone should have one. This year for Christmas I bought my brother one and he absolutely loves it. Every aquapet has a different personality and i think they are great for kids and adults of all ages. If you are thinking about purchasing an aquapet I definitely reccomend buying it.Thank you for reading my review of aquapets!!!

Editorial Review

Checkers has never been the same since Connect Four. Now there's even more of a challenge with Electronic Hand-Held Connect Four. Here, you're going up against a machine. Play the traditional game of trying to get four in a row--horizontal, vertical, or diagonal--while blocking the computer opponent. Add more of a challenge by choosing Game 2: the checkers disappear, and it takes memory and strategy to win. The arrow keys keep you in complete control of the game, and you can even shut off the sound to better concentrate. There are three different skill levels to keep things interesting, or if it's too hard, the computer will offer hints with the press of a button. --Lynne Sampson ... Read more

FUN FOR EVERYONE
This little game is the best. My grandmother loves it, my mother loves it, and I love it to death. We only have one so we are usually fighting over it. And the thing is, i have had it for years. So not only is it soooo fun, you dont have to change batteries every 5 min. I would Highly recomend this product to ANYONE big or small old or young This thing is the best!

very good
i saw this toy online than i got it at the store. its really fun i play it everday. even my brother that is 26 likes it. he plays it a lot to. i give this toy 5 stars.

EXCELLENT!!!
i bought this almost two years ago for myself, play it EVERY day, and only replaced the battery once. I just bought three more for my grandchildren (10, 7 & 5) because they can't keep their hands off it when they come to visit me, and fight over whose turn it is to use it ne×t!

classic fun!
I bought this for my 8yr old nephew for Christmas and he's had a lot of fun with it. The graphics are basic and the goal is easy. The computer opponent can be sometimes tough to beat though. Both the kids and adults of our family enjoy this game. I keep thinking I should have bought one for me when I bought my nephew's!

It's almost like the 1980s never really ended!
After being appalled by the utter cr@ppiness of IntelliVision's 25-in-1 plug-and-play video game system, I found myself suspicious of any P&P console that contained more than a dozen games in it. Needless to say, I was a bit leery of the Commodore 30-in-I P&P, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I found myself in for a pleasant surprise when I discovered that my game characters responded quite well to the joystick and fire button controls for the most part, which was something that IntelliVision's offering seldom delivered. There are a few games where the response is a little sluggish... but with a bit of practice, this "drawback" can be overcome.

I found most of the games' graphics were surprisingly clear and sharp... well, surprisingly clear and sharp for the time they were released. Boy, were those the days: the Commodore 64 was touted as an inexpensive alternative to the Apple and IBM computers, but ended up being little more than a glorified video game console. Which, ultimately, is what my C64 was used for more than anything else. I musta played GridRunner (a Centipede clone that was better than the original) and O'Riley's Mine (a sorta Dig-Duggish adventure) for hours on end during those long, lonely, friend-free days of yore. Sadly, neither of these games were included in this particular release; fortunately, many of the ones that WERE present more than made up for the absence of my childhood faves...

Bein' a major space-case, it's a given that my fave games on this system are the space-battle-themed ones, particularly Zynaps, Cybernoid 1 & 2, and Uridium. Unfortunately, they're also among the most difficult to master, as I've yet to pass the first level on any of these games! It's really maddening some times, ya know? And don't get me started on Tower Toppler...

There are also several racing games, including a motocross and the futuristic dodge-`em race game, Eliminator (highly recommended, BTW). Then there are the sports-themed games, which I'm absolutely awful at. Which is kinda fittin', seeing as how I've always been pretty bad at playing sports in real life. I did manage to get up to level 3 on the Championship Karate game, which, controls-wise, is a forerunner to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. You know, you have your joystick pointed in one direction while hittin' the fire button, your guy does a certain fighting move, that sorta thing.

Also included are several role-playing -type games, none of which I particularly care for, save one: Paradroid. I found this one a bit frustrating at first, but after I got the hang of having Paradroid quickly recover from bouncing off of other droids and going through the doors and going from deck to deck on the cargo ship, I really dug it. Sadly, I've never been able to complete the game, seein' as how I get destroyed before all the objectives have been met. Them's the breaks in the plug-&-play video gaming world...

Then there's the ergonomics of the control stick itself, which is surprisingly good considering the control is molded in the form of a classic C64 control, which was made at a time before carpal-tunnel syndrome became epidemic amongst gamers. Its rounded edges and corners don't dig uncomfortably into my hands, and I can usually go about a half hour on the fire button before my left thumb cramps up. I'm not too keen on the stiffness of the joystick itself, though.

Bottom line: several really good (albeit maddeningly difficult) games, combined with a reasonably comfortable control stick, makes the C64 plug-&-play console a fairly fun bit of 80s video-game nostalgia. Definitely recommended.

`Late

This thing is the worst!
I was so glad to get my C64.I read all of the instructions and I was ready to play. The graphics and music are horrible and half of the games don't work. It keeps freezing and now it doesn't even com on. I so wish I would of read some reviews before I begged my mom to buy it. I'm just a kid, but my advice is NOT to waste your cash.

The full list of games
Listed below are all 30 games.

Bull riding, Championship Wrestling, Cyberdyne Warrior, Cybernoid, Cybernoid II, Eliminator, Excelon, Firelord, Flying Disk, Gateway to Apshai, Impossible Mission, Impossible Mission II, Jumpman Jr., Paradroid, Pitstop, Pitstop II, Ranarama, Silicon Warrior, Speedball, Summer Games, Sumo Wrestling, Super Cycle, Surfing, Sword of Fargoal, Tower Toppler, Uridium, Winter Games, World Karate A, World Karate B, Zynaps.

Don't own, but the BEST is missing....
I do not yet own this C-64 game loaded controller, but I was so excited when I just saw it for sale.I quickly went to another website to see the list of games.
Ohhhhhh, anticipation of great C64 games like Archon, Bird-vs-Dr.J, Realm of Impossibility, Kickman, Miner 49er, Wizard of Wor...but NO.Best of the included would be the Jumpman's and Pitstop.
Obviously the creator/manufacturer could not get licensed EA games from the past.
I was ready to buy, but after seeing the list of included games I will pass like Larry Bird.

it's good by:jordan
it's good. it isn't special to a kid like me. if your an oldy fine this is for you. if your new just get a gamesystem. i reccomend the sega plug in and play because of graphics and much better games.

I like cyberdyne warrior. That consist of shooting alien creatures and catching the robots. this game is a classic. I don't think you ever run out of ammo so it's pointless to get it when you bring back the robot to the ship. anyway not a 30 games are good such as bull riding. only 10 games are good if your new. ...

A Great Product for the Price
I bought this air hockey product for our 7 year old twin boys this past Christmas. They rated it as their "best gift" and it is one of the few toys that is still being used and enjoyed on a regular basis. I was concerned that the table size would be too small and the air flow would be inadequate to have a fast paced game for the cost of this model. However, I am extrememly pleased with the table proportion and it has a flow more than adequate to "float" the puck and produces a very fast game. We started out playing with it on the floor with the boys sitting down, but have since moved it to a small table and they now play standing up. It is a fun game for parents to play with their children and it is the type of game that kids can play with a minimum amount of disagreement or supervision. There is a manual "score board" to ten points for each player and the only additional rule we had to implement was to keep their "free hand" off the table. It is a great game for eye-hand coordination and the fast pace makes it exciting for the players and spectators alike.

BORING!
This table is so stupid. Half of the time it dosen't work the air pumps vavle fuses alot. Go save your money and watch paint dry

Great toy for an introduction to air hockey
I got this toy for Christmas a few years ago. The board still works great, and it's awesome to play against one of your friends. At some point, over one of the goals, the beam broke that was between the board surface and the top of the board, but the game seemed to function better without it, because with it, the puck kept constantly getting stuck in the hole and arguments resulted in whether or not golasa were scored. The puck still floats great on the board also, and it's relatively small, so it's not very hard to travel with in the car when you want to bring it somewhere. Air hockey also shows education in developing great hand-eye coordination skills, because of the fast paced motion of the game, and you will notice an improvement. Overall, a great buy, get this for your kids! ... Read more

Editorial Review

In this electronic adaptation, the hangman is a cowboy in a Western town. There are 11 chances to correctly guess the word from a memory bank of 8,000 words arranged in 10 categories. The game fits in the palm of a hand, and there's much to control. Select the skill level and word length (even whether or not to have sound effects play a victory tune when the cowboy is saved from the rope). Only Level 1 allows the player to pick from categories like Animals, City, Music, and Wild West. Otherwise, it's as random as traditional Hangman. Game 2 scrambles the letters, so it's even harder to guess which letter to pick from the lot and to guess the word. It comes ready to play, keeps score, and has an automatic shutoff. Great for long road trips. --Lynne Sampson ... Read more

It's Ok!
This Electronic Hangman Game is fun. I'm not sure how educational it is but it's a great for kids to play with in the car on what they would call long boring road trips and the size is small and can fit in pockets and even a handbag.

Best Ever = um... BUY!!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER, HAS OVER 100,000 WORDS. YOU CAN SELECT YOUR CATIGORY AND HOW MANY LETTERS. EACH TIME YOU GET THE WORD RIGHT YOU GET POINTS, AND THEY GET HIGHER AND HIGHER, AND IF U GET IT WRONG IT GETS LOWER. ...

It's Fine????
This is an okay game, though it sometimes gets a little boring. This game can teach kids different words. There are 8 categories to choose from, plus you can choose how many letters you want in the game. You get 11 guesses to guess what word they are giving you.

This One's A Winner!
I gave this hangman game last Christmas to my fifth grade daughter (a great stocking gift) and nearly a year later she's still playing with it and enjoying it. A terrific function of the game for me is that the user can *mute* the sound while playing it.

THIS IS A FUN TOY. HANGMAN IS A GREAT GAME ANYWAY AND THIS ELECTRONIC VERSION, COMPLETE WITH VISUALS OF THE HANGMAN AND THE EXTRACTION OF HIS VARIOUS LIMBS, IS FUNNY AND ENJOYABLE. A VERY ENTERTAINING TOY. ... Read more

Divas in training can get their practice in with this small but powerful karaoke system. The system has a compact disc player that plays regular CDs as well as CD + Graphics Karaoke discs, which contain music with a video track that displays lyrics on a television screen. Cables are included to connect the karaoke machine to a TV for viewing on-screen graphics and to a home stereo or receiver for better sound. A microphone lets future rock stars sing along with their favorite songs. Special sound features, such as an audio voice control, which mutes vocals on a track when the singer starts singing, and an echo selector give the star more control over how her voice sounds. When used to play normal CDs, the karaoke system has the expected details, including a two-digit LED display, pause and skip/search buttons, and programmable memory to play back tracks in any desired order. An AM/FM stereo is also built in for singing to live radio. Smaller than a soccer ball and colored a sporty purple, this compact unit is highly portable for taking karaoke parties to another location. This system comes with a power cord and is covered by Craig Electronics under a 90-day limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Best gift I ever bought!
I bought this for my mother for her birthday last year. Within two weeks she had used it so much that the paint had worn off the back. However, one year later, without a drop in usage it is still going, and to date has not needed new batteries. Truly amazing. It is easy to see, simple to understand and very addictive. Highly recommended.

Radica Solitaire
My husband and I have been playing the Radica Solitaire games for over 10 years. We finally bought the new one - we have been playing for over 10 hours and have not been able to run a game. Who ever did the software for this game was sick - the most cards you will ever get is 4 in the suites.

This is definitely NOT worth the money and we are asking for a refund.

Unfortunately, the older ones that we had, we thru away.

I contacted Radica and they said the older ones were to easy - I agree, but why go so much the other way that it is not even fun to play anymore

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME - NOT WORTH IT

Bad programming
Who was the idiot(s) that wrote the software for the Radica Solitaire 2000?!!??? Many years ago, we purchased the Radica Solitaire 2320(or 2380..). The program was fine and you could, with some playing, expect to win daily.

Not with the 2000! One is lucky to win weekly, playing all day.

You folks have lost the concept! The idea isn't to win. THE IDEA IS TO COMPETE FOR HIGH SCORE!!! The 2320 would let you win without deducting the 20 points for going more than 3 rounds. In other words, you could win (and compete) before it went past 3 rounds. NOT WITH THE 2000!!!! It is virtually impossible to win on the 2000 before it deducts the 20 points.

I can't tell you how disappointed my wife and I are with your poorly programmed 2000...

But, we're sure you'll delete this review...

SOLITAIRE LITE (Where can I find you?)
The new solitaire is ok but the Solitaire Lite in my opinion is much better. I use it at nite in bed whenever I cannot sleep and it doesn't disturb my husband. Its great on bus and plane trips when there is not enough natural light. Hope I can find one before something drastic happens to this one. I loaned my spare one to a friend and they are addicted and refuses to return it. PLEASE HELP US FIND SOLITAIRE LITE!!!!!!

Can't put it down!
Great for the plane, car or any time you want to make a HUGE block of time go by without noticing it. Really easy to use. Batteries seem to last a long time. And it seems fairly durable (with the exception of maybe dropping on concrete or running it over with the car).
The best part is that you can turn off the sound so you can play without all the beeps and craziness.
If there are two or more of you that are interested in this game you WILL need to buy one for each of you. No joke, you'll be fighting over who gets to play with it. ... Read more

A good personal CD player was, until just a few years ago, considered something of a high-end item, priced beyond the range of most kids. But as technology improves, quality products, such as this impressive and oh-so-feminine CD player become more accessible to everybody. It features a sleek circular design and light pink colors, along with a bass boost option, and random and repeat play. In our informal test, the sound quality was quite good and could probably be further improved with a new set of headphones. Two AA batteries are required but not included. --Charlie Williams ...

Fun!
My daughter 18 months old, loves this toy. She just got it for Easter, she plays with it all the time. The only problem with it is when you have too many clips on it, it is heavy and hard to carry. We have to keep the clips down to 4 or less on the loop. This toy is not too loud either. I have found most childrens toys very loud, this one is just right.

Purr-fect for Little Lion King Fans!
My 2-year-old daughter recently received a Disney Kid Clips player and the first songs she asked for were the Lion King clips! If you can find them (they are hard to come by these days) then I highly recommend grabbing them up! She has played these so much already, she can sing along! Believe me, you will tire of these LONG before your little ones do! I can't for the life of me figure out why you can't get Kid Clips in stores anymore! ... Read more
