Customer Review: Stop re-using molds!
Firefly was one of my all time favorite figures back in the day, so I was super excited to see that they made an updated figure for the 25th anniversary line. I like this figure; however, it simple is just a repaint of the Beachhead figure having only a unique head and accesories. Totally weak on the effort there Hasbro. The same can be said for the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow version 2 figures. Remember how the old He-Man line back in the 80′s did the same thing?

Plus, your child can lift up the puzzle pieces for special surprises. Each removable wooden puzzle piece is hiding a full-color illustration underneath. Use the images to tell a story, play a guessing game, or find the hidden pictures. Puzzle measures 11.7″H x 8.4″W x 1.4″D.
    Customer Review: Great puzzle set!
    My son loves playing with these puzzles. It has helped him learn his ABCs and numbers. He likes carrying the letters around the house saying their names! He likes to count the objects under the numbers and say the objects under the letters. The fish puzzle is not pictured, so it was a surprise! I recommend these puzzles for any child interested in numbers and letters. I would recommend a younger age as well. My son is 22 months old and I wish we had gotten these for him sooner!
    Customer Review: Puzzle Bundle
    Great Value and Great Education Toy. You actually receive 3 puzzles in this bundle – 1 Alphabet, 1 Numbers and 1 Fish Puzzle. My daughter received this when she was 2.5 and it really helped her to learn her letters, numbers and colors. The puzzle is complex enough where it takes her a little while to put it together, but not too challenging where she would get frustrated. A great way to start your child’s puzzle collection!

    LEGO Large Green Building Plate (15″ X 15″)

    Posted on December 18, 2008 by Jack

    51up7eFAkFL. SL160 LEGO Large Green Building Plate (15 X 15)This 15-inch-square green base plate provides a building surface for any DUPLO set. It is made of the same sturdy, impact-resistant plastic as other DUPLO toys, and has smooth, rounded edges. DUPLO sets are designed for use by toddlers (ages 18 months to 5 years), and have bigger pieces and more rounded shapes than traditional LEGO pieces, so they can accommodate the needs of younger users. If you are shopping for a baby, try the LEGO PRIMO sets, which are even bigger and easier to handle. –Katherine Ferguson
    Customer Review: Not at all what I was looking for
    Disclosure: I’m a 49-year-old case of arrested development who used to build models of baseball stadiums with Legos when I was a kid, and I wanted to do it again. I bought this piece thinking it was the same green building plate I used to use when I was young. IT IS NOT. For anyone who thinks about buying this believing the pegs are standard Lego size, they are far too large and, as such, useless.
