Buy Cheap   Melissa & Doug Joey Magnetic Dress Up Melissa & Doug Joey Magnetic Dress-Up This adorable play set features a magnetic doll, Joey. He comes with a doll stand and plenty of clothes and accessory pieces for hours of dress-up fun. Dress him as a fireman, police officer, super hero and other fun people. All pieces store in a handy wood tray.
Customer Review: My son loves it!
My 2 1/2 year old doesn’t get enough of this toy. He loves to change to outfits and will stay entertained for anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes playing (a long time for this age group). Joey is a great addition so that little boys can play with dress up dolls without having to use girl figures, and he also enjoys the different costumes and pretends with us each character. For the price it is great. The only thing is that if he drools on it, the paper becomes soggy so be careful if your child is a drooler.

Customer Review: Where are the dinosaur names?
My 3 year old loves puzzles and dinosaurs, and he enjoys this puzzle. The colors are good, the pictures realistic, and it is durable (as I expect from Melissa and Doug products). My complaint is that there is no information about which dinosaurs are pictured. I am no expert, and my son keeps asking what their names are. We’ve been able to figure some out by looking through books, but it is work I don’t think I should have to do. If it had this information (or if you don’t care about this info), I would give it 5 stars. The Crocodile Creek dinosaur puzzle has a cartoonish look, but at least it includes the names and eliminates this hassle.
Customer Review: High Quality Puzzle
Their puzzles are awesome…the pieces go together well and they have a good finish on them and are very durable. My 3 and 5-year olds haven’t been able to destroy them under constant use!

Requires 3 “AAA” batteries, included.
Customer Review: disappointing
This truck looked like so much fun, but we’re really disappointed. The pieces of the truck do not stay together, whether set up as a race track, or in truck form. It’s very frustrating for me, let alone my son. I’m about to throw the whole thing away.
Customer Review: Fun, but hard to put back together!
This was a Christmas gift for our 7 year old. He played with it a lot at first, but doesn’t seem to get it out much anymore. We wish it was built a little sturdier. It doesn’t seem to latch together very easily when you try to put it all away. But when he does get it all out, he plays with it for a long time and has a lot of fun!

Buy Cheap   Hasbro Star Wars Vader Force Action Extending Lightsaber Hasbro Star Wars Vader Force Action Extending Lightsaber

    ‘Use the Force!’ Strike down the Jedi Knights! Features spring-into-action blade and lightsaber sound effects.

Use the Force with this amazing Force Action Lightsaber from Hasbro! This fantastic weapon features a blade that retracts fully into the handle. With the push of a button, the blade springs into action, extends to a length of over 3 feet, lights up, and plays real lightsaber sound effects! Darth Vader’s red lightsaber is yours to use to strike down and destroy the Jedi Knights if you add it to your shopping cart! Requires 3x ‘AA’ batteries, not included.
Customer Review: Loads of fun!
Not a lot more to be said than that . . . Just loads of fun, especially if you are a huge Star Wars fan!
Customer Review: Disappointing design flaw.
The problem with this lightsaber wasn’t the spring action: that was actually pretty strong. And it was also pretty bright. And the sounds were good. The problem, which we found in both of the ones we bought and returned to Target, was that the blade would not stay out. There is not enough friction between the blade and the black piece where the blade extends from. I think it’s due to the kind of plastic used in the blade. So, when you extend out the blade, and it’s glowing and humming, and you’re ready for the attack, a couple of waves of the blade results in the entire blade falling back into the handle. Not the telescoped part, that’s fine. Just the friction fit part between the biggest blade segment and the handle. This is strange, since it doesn’t happen with the Obi-wan one (blue) and the green spring-action lightsabers. The best way to see this problem is to extend the blade as much as possible, hold it vertically, then give the handle very small shakes back and forth. The blade will work itself loose and fall back onto the spring in the handle. Curse Hasbro’s Darth Vader Spring-Action Lightsaber! As for the other ones in the series: way to go!
