Broke within the first 5 minutes
My 8 yr old son was very excited to finally play with this toy since he got it for the holidays and was not able to use it for months.We charged it, latched it and the kids took it into the pool.Within 5 minutes it stopped working and the nosecone filled up with water.We dried it out and it still is no good.I have not contacted the manufacturer yet. ...

Editorial Review

Thrill-seekers young and old glide through the air with this deluxetrolley ride. An adult is needed to follow the detailed installationinstructions. Once the 70-foot steel cable is mounted to two trees or otherstable upright supports, the trolley can be grasped for suspended riding fromone point to another. The Fun Ride Deluxe is excellent for building motorskills, upper body strength, and physical confidence. Kids who learn by usingtheir muscles will particularly appreciate the physical activity, and thenatural endorphin release is an additional perk for all users of the trolley.The Fun Ride Deluxe can hold individuals up to 225 pounds, and as one would suspect, adult supervision is required at all times during use. -- Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher ...

Lots of fun
We stretched it across our pool but we have a stoper in the line so you fall in the pool. we just used some special clamps and a high compression spring. The kids love it because they can fly right into the pool.

Full Disclosure
While I am sure that this product will be a huge hit in our household, we have yet to assemble it.I was not aware that depending on the size of your tree, you may have to buy an additional strap extension for another $11.So, as a word of warning, you'll need to measure your tree first before you order the product.Be prepared to pay more.

Pricey Fun
We bought this for our 8 year old daughter this Christmas.She is having a great time with it, as are the neighbors' kids.I gave it only four stars due to the price.We still can't understand why a plastic handle grip and a length of wire costs $100.Plus, my husband spent an additional $50 on lumber to build the kids a sturdy platform to take off from.But, we spent it and we are enjoying it.We do not have it extended the full 70 feet, but the kids are getting a great ride at 40 feet anyway.Recommended if you want to spend the money. ...

Stilt School
After learning how to walk on the stilts, and having seen the eager look on my friends' faces, they encouraged me to begin a stilt school. I taught about 5 of them how to walk on the stilts, and we played fun games. It's really cool to be a foot above the ground! in one part of my basement, my head can skim the ceiling!

great fun
For [the money] I didn't think these stilts would be anything great. My daughter begged for stilts for her 9th birthday, and these were the cheapest pair we could find. I was surprised at how durable they are and how easy it is to adjust the foot rests. It was easy for her to learn how to use these, and she had them up as high as possible after a week of using them.

So Many Nephews to buy for!
I purchased three sets of these stilts for three of my nephews.They were quite the hit and even the parents were excited about the boys getting them.

Want to have some fun, bring back some memories, and wish you were a kid again... get these stilts! ... Read more

Praise from Guam
I ordered this for my 3 sons (ages 7, 5, and 3) as a "family" Christmas gift.Everyone loves it!Adults visiting for family parties, my 3year old niece, as well as all the other kids and adults in-between.
When first taken from the box, the item seemed very simple and not at all sophisticated (okay--primitive!!).However, once I set it on the carpet the kids immediately wanted to give it a shot.From there, it has been nothing but constantly used.We leave it right on our living room floor so everyone who goes by it has to try it at least once.
I have just ordered 3 more as gifts for the other cousins who can't seem to get enough of it when they come to our house.

Great Fun for Everyone!!
I could stand on this thing for a whole month and I wouldn't get bored with it. You can do it while watching TV, while studying, or while sucking a lollipop. I love it, and I hope you love it too.

12 year old's excitement
This balance board is awsome im on it every day i even turn down my friends when the ask me to go outside! It's also very educational which the forces of science and matter. This also helps me with my skateboard tricks! ... Read more

This gun sucks!!!
Do not buy this gun if you know what's good for ya! The trigger will break after about ten uses and the so called water ball it's charger will break after your trigger breaks. Oh yeah the mini pistol, the charger for it is crap you have to pull the lever two times to make it go full blast. Buy it if you want, but this gun won't even outlive a housefly. keep the receipt and box you'll need it!!!!!

Tripple Agressor is a waste of money
This gun is really awful. The range and water caacity is okay but
the extra squirt gun and soaker ball don't do anything at all.
This is real useless. In fact don't buy any of the new Super Soakers in general. They suck. Ever since Super Soaker was sold
to Hasbro they have been bad. Hasbro makes really cheap quality
guns that are dumb and aren't worth your money. Try buying older
guns like the Xps and Max Ds. Larami should have never sold Super
Soaker to a comany like Hasbro.

The Best Squrtgun in tha World
This gun is awesome! When it came, I didn't know if it would actually work. So I tried it out, and it really shot up to 30 ft. The water ball is wicked. This gun works like a hose. BUY IT! ... Read more

Extremley Fun, But A Little Messy
I'm thirteen and my little sister plays with her catch a bubble thing, all the time.It's great because it lasts longer and doesn't spill like regular bubbles.However, if your child catches a bubble and squishes it in his/her hands it is very messy, kind of like glue.If it does spill, it's hard to wash out of rugs, but easy to wipe of hard surfaces.Overall I say buy this product, but be prepared for a little mess. :)

the best bubbles there ever were...THEY DON'T EVEN SPILL!!!
we are bubble experts in our house and these are the best we've seen yet. there are other bubbles on the market that don't pop easily (for catching, stacking, etc) but this comes with an immeasurable advantage: a plastic seal that you can push the blower through but keeps the liquid from spilling... like the top to a fast food beverage...that kind, but more sturdy. My 4,3 and 1 year old can play with bubbles for hours, but most bubbles don't last that long because they inevitably spill or get dropped and the bubble solution comes flooding out and its all gone. these dont spill!!
sooooo....
1) they don't spill
2)the container is huge and more than enough for multiple plays and/or lots of kids to share
3) the bubbles themselves are THE BEST and don't pop easily


its true they get a little stickier than your run-of-the-mill bubbles...but my kids use them in the garage or outside (maybe the kitchen if its bad weather) and its fine. the ones we did get on stuff (the computer, table, rugs, books, etc) cleaned up easily...so it wasn't a big deal when they did land on objects inside.
my daughter got a 5-pack for her birthday and i'm online today to buy more all our friends' birthdays!!

pretty cool
I bought this toy a long time ago and have really enjoyed it.The bubbles have to float in the air for a little bit before you can catch them without popping(I guess the liquid has to dry), but other than that, it's pretty cool!I was blowing the bubbles in the garage once, and the next day, the bubbles were still on the ground un-popped! ...

Laser tag is extremely popular with kids, and this set providesequipment (without real laser beams) for two players to duel it out athome, with complete instructions for play included. The set can be usedindoors or outdoors, and the firing range works at a distance of up to350 feet. Included are two Laser Challenge Gotcha Extreme Blasters(each requiring three AA batteries, not included) and two LaserChallenge Gotcha Extreme Sensor Vests. The vest is actually a smallshield that attaches to clothing with a rotating clip and also attachesto the laser gun with a flexible tether. This equipment can be usedwith all other Laser Challenge sets, although some of the more advancedfeatures of this set will not interact with earlier sets by the samemanufacturer. --Marcie Bovetz ...

Does not reload
I agree that it takes awhile to figure out how to use this toy.But that was not the main difficulty.Both guns are difficult to reload.One of them, within an hour of buying the toy, will not reload at all.We are looking to return them.

On the other hand, we had no difficulty hitting the target.If it was within ten feet, the target light would go off even when the other gun was aiming five feet away from it.So much so, that we were wondering if the infra-red light can bounce off walls and reflect back on the target.

PLAY IN THE DARK!
this game is great if you have a large space and a buddy to play with. you just have to be sure that you are playing in the dark, because if you're playing in a well-lit room, the game won't work. you could be standing right next to your opponent shooting at the target all day if the lights are on and maybe get one or two shots. if you play in a dark space, the shots are more effective and much more fun!

great toy, great price, great value
This game is fun. I bought one set of gotcha extreme and set of team force 250 and both worked well together. Other people say you need to get lucky. I didn't need any luck to know that this thing works. I am almost 13 and still enjoy playing it. The thing about it being hard to hit is wrong. I tried aiming from all directions and tried it against my friend when he was riding a bike, and no matter how fast he went, i could hit him easily. If you look at the instruction manual, you would see how to make everthing work. The only thing that i do not like is that it is hard to make the codes work. I do not even know how. The instruction manual said to enter in the codes if you wanted, but how is my question. But overall this is a good game for all ages. I have a large age range in my neighborhood and they all like playing it. So overall, this game rocks! ... Read more

Editorial Review

The innovative hover disc is a cross between a frisbee and a balloon. Made of very lightweight materials, the disc has a circumference of approximately 34 inches. Even before you add air or helium the disc will fly through the air not unlike a like a large, flat frisbee. But add helium or air and you can make the disc perform unusual tricks with a little bit of practice. The disc's lightweight material may make it easy to puncture, but you can cover any holes with clear packing tape and you can also add more air or helium through the fill valve when it starts to lose its shape. The hover disc is designed for indoor and outdoor use but be careful when you play with it outside because it could easily blow away in strong winds. Helium not included. ... Read more

great in a padded room
this toy is made of mylar.I bought one for each of my sons.They were both torn and useless within 15 minutes. One hit a tree branch, one hit a fence and had big holes in them.Worthless!

Torn within 5 minutes
My daughter bought this with her own money. We brought it home, filled it up and it was torn within the first 2 tosses. It tore just a little at the edge, but it was just enough to let the air leak out. I contacted the company and got no response. She loved it and was upset when it ripped. Don't waste your money.

rip off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at my cousins house when they recived a hover disk it looked so cool. my oldest cousin was the fist one to touch it and prabaly the last knowing how these things go so far on a windy day,and it was a windy day.my cousin therw it and we wached it fly miles away untill it disapred.What a rip off we all said.rip off piece of junk rip off piece of junk.

Water pistols have evolved from small hand-held affairs to today's machine guns on steroids, but this one looks like neither--it more closely resembles a cross between a futuristic spaceport and a bionic arm. The latter is nearest the mark, as it turns out: the "ARM Aquatic Revenge Machine" (get it?) actually Velcro-straps onto the upper arm with a transparent green water tank right where any good superhero’s bicep is normally found. No coincidence: it’s called a "Biceptor," and the pressure in this tank gets pumped by simply straightening and flexing thearm. Clever. The Biceptor, by the way, is just the pressure tank: The main water supply is a separate 2-liter backpack. This makes it possible to soak an opponent single-handed, leaving the other hand free for, oh, say an umbrella. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Cool, But Misleading
I first purchased this toy because the commercial was cool, but commercials are misleading. It was hard to understand the directions that came with it. I used this to attack my cousin in 2003, but haven't used it since. I finally pulled it out of my box of Super Soakers and fixed it. It can shoot about 10 feet, which is kind of disappointment for a Super Soaker. I have other ones that can shoot 30 feet! No joke! Overall, it's fun, but I would recommend one of the new soakers, like the Helix.

Awesome
Are you ready? Ya sure? Do you have what it takes? You think you've got the gutts? You want to go for it? Take me on , when I've an A.R.M. 4000 XL and you have any thing with the logo Super Soaker.
This baby Rocks!!! this is a 100% great water gun. It shoots 36 feet. And you can pack such a punch, your target won't know what hit e'm... until it's to late and they are dripping wet wile you're
getting away. A sneaky sleak design the A.R.M. 4000 XL has good range, if you have this and another water gun and you have a hard time choosing which one to use, strap the A.R.M. to your arm and use the other one.

One problem with this gun is the back pack. The first day I got it, the hose was top based which means the hose went into the back pack on top. Thats not good. (you will see what I mean when you get it). My solution: I got a camel back (A hikers pack that has a tube for drinking wile hiking) and cut the end of the end that attaches to the blaster and put it into the other tube leading to the camel back which is a little thicker than the original tube. But you will need some form of greese to slip it over the realy thick part and leave about a half inch of the orginal tube on the attachment.

Over all, this is the best water gun ever made and trust me you will enjoy this buy. And if you get in a water fight with it, you will win!!!

$$ ButFun
When I ordered this toy, I wasn't sure it would be worth 30 bucks. I've had bad experiences with super soakers that had backpacks. The distance of it's shot could be minimal. And the durability of it would probably be horrible. I was wrong. It shoots far enough, It's light weight, and so far I haven't had any problems. ... Read more

Awsome Gun
This is sick!!it shoots like 10m and the blade is useful if u r cornered. But always tilt the gun to the side because th water sticks to the blade is thrown at your face as a light mist. This gun rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hydroblade review
The hydroblade is a cpable blaster in today's time, however, don't go into a major battle with it, Someone who got an old CPS blaster will kick your butt. On mine, the trigger mechanism broke, so I had to open it up and make a custom trigger. I removed the blade because it's useless. Another thing, this is a pressurized reservoir blaster, so as you run out of water you need to pump more to get pressure. The triple shot is cheaper and beats it. And if you want a CPS gun, go for something like the aquapack dev or the flash flood, they're really the best readily available soakers out there. If you want real firepower, build a homemade gun, it's cheaper and better.

This thing rocks
This thing is the best water gun i ever had . the range is good and when you put the blade down it only shortens the range by about a quarter and leaves people dripping wet. If you haven't got one go buy one right now
