Fairly decent lego motorbike
Whilst walking through a drug store the other day, I spotted this lego bike on sale. It is fairly decent, a little bit of the instruction manual wasn't clear on the chassis assembly leading me to make one mistake about 70% through completion, which was easily corrected without breaking down much of the completed assembly. Certainly not a harley, but it will do. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The last remnant of a 15-million-year-old species, the creaturefrom the black lagoon was neither fish nor human, but a hideouscombination of both. Scales, gills, long webbed claws, and a pulsatingslash for a mouth gave the creature a ghastly quality that catapultedthe movie to instant cult-classic status in 1954. Here, he's forevercaptured in all his heartbreaking grotesqueness: arms raised, heemerges from the primeval swamp with vengeance in his haunted eyes. Hisreptilian companions--a hissing lizard and a venomous-lookingsnake--flank him; in the foreground are the bony remains of a hand.The 29-piece kit's sturdy styrene pieces are more substantial than you'll findin most kits these days; the finished model is about 9 inches tall.It's not complicated, but you'll need care and patience when putting ittogether (and maybe some light sandpaper or an emery board). Paint andcement aren't included, but the instruction sheet indicates colors foreach piece. And if you don't feel like painting the gill-man, he lookspretty convincing in his moss-green unpainted state. --JulieUbben ... Read more

NewWave Plastic Gargoyles for the office
This is a fun poseable model right out of the box.
I have two guarding the entrance to my office like new-wave gargoyles.The bricks fit together well and are strongly joined where the limbs articulate.My 4 and 7 year old nieces thought my new "pets" were a lot of fun.They said it was "like playing barbies, but you can bend these more". They did tend to "break" the models by trying to twist them in ways that the joints didn't allow, but the 7 year old got the knack by the end of the night and was actually looking at how the limbs moved so she could rotate them as she wanted without popping the joints apart. Fair warning, large sections of these models are preformed and can't really be adjusted much.Still, I can see some way so "tying into" what is here and adding some details if you wanted.Me, I am more-or-less considering them completed sculptures at this time and not really trying to modify them at all. ...

Very fun and easy to put together
These toys are great! Their tops are great and can spin for about 1 minute. The instructions messed up the colors of the different pieces but it's easy once you know the different colors of different pieces. If you have all four you can build an arena for the tops to fight in. Whacth out! The tops can hurt you when they are spinning. It doesn't cut you but it does sting. These toys are also cool because they can turn into vehicles that are sleak and easy to build. I recomend this toy for people who like the similar product of legos. These aren't as good as legos but they still stay together. All in all , this is a good buy. I'd recomend it for children 7+. Thank you for reading this reveiw. ... Read more

NITROMETHANE ON THE WATER
THis one was a real blast. Quite literally. We began the day bu spending about an hour putting this thing together. When we Christened it, the bow fell off. We new we were in trouble. We used super glue going back, and all was well. We really wanted to see what this one would do, so we bolted on a Cox marine .065 nitro model engine. We fired it up on 25% nitro mix, and it sounded wicked. I brought the throttle up and let it go. It raced across the pool and never saw the deep end wall coming. The only piece big enough to recognize, was the bow which was still held together by super glue. What a ride. ... Read more
