5670473248 2670bb6585 American Toys: Past and Present

American toys have been around for as long as we can remember. In the beginning American toys were simple items such as balls, dolls, cars and trucks and believe it or not these American toys are still around today. When you think American toys; Barbie, matchbox cars, Legos and GI Joes instantly come to mind. If you purchased one of these items when they first hit the market and kept them in good condition they are very valuable today. When you think about American toy manufacturers Playschool and Mattel are at the top of the list. These companies have been around for a very long time and many people grew up playing with them, they have produced one great toy after another and still continue to do so.

LEGO Alpha Team Bomb Squad, 191 Pieces, Building Blocks, 6775

41A92K00B0L LEGO Alpha Team Bomb Squad, 191 Pieces, Building Blocks, 6775

Features

  • This set includes dynamite and a plunger, lots of clear yellow “lights,” and one of Ogel’s smiling mind-control orbs
  • In Alpha Team’s never-ending quest to make the world safe, no unit packs more punch than the Bomb Squad
  • Also included are a fast-rolling command car, a bomb-defusing drone and an attack truck with 2 spring-loaded missile launchers

Product Description

In Alpha Team’s never-ending quest to make the world safe (by, of course, defeating the evil Ogel and his skeleton drone army), no unit packs more punch than the Bomb Squad. This dynamic addition to LEGO’s weird, but inarguably fun, Alpha Team series pits agents Crunch (in a longshoreman’s cap) and Charge (with sideburns and stubble) against Ogel with a fast-rolling command car, a bomb-defusing drone, and an attack truck with two spring-loaded missile launchers. As usual, kids might decide that these LEGOs need some reconfiguring to keep up with Ogel’s devious and ever-changing strategies–but that’s half the fun. Neat pieces in this set include dynamite and a plunger, lots of clear yellow “lights,” and one of Ogel’s smiling mind-control orbs. –Paul Hughes

Customer Review: Xevoz Toys
This is a very good toy for people who like LEGOS and Transformers. It comes with everything you need to start playing. It will break if used to much, to much as in: Pushing the pieces to hard, trying to bend the parts ect. But all in all it is a great figure and I would say buy it. Makes an awesome gift.

3.0 LEGO Mars Mission MX 81 Hypersonic Spacecraft

08.12.2009 The only problem we had was the manual was incomplete. He repeated pages. I called their customer service, and have taken immediate action. I have not received the manual, but they tell me that would be in the mail the next day. Other than that it was a great toy.

LEGO Builder Xtreme

51GPPMWNDNL LEGO Builder Xtreme

Average Rating :

5.0 LEGO Builder Xtreme

I bought this game for my 6 year old son, who is not as big legos in the assembly (still) and my two kids of 5 years and 4 years, I do. We must help them assemble the numbers (not difficult for an older child), but the great thing about the game is taught strategy b / c that does not travel alone and the card will receive all the buildings are spare, but you try and do well, and begin the initial construction. It can also ruin someone else some timeway (my husband and I always choose the piece in the middle). Very easy to play and understand, it will take time to define all the pieces on their images in the field, but it's worth. WARNING: Do not miss a piece or you will be out of luck! @! (Unless it can be set from others that we have and it works …) Buy a lot (but I cannibalize me on Tuesday morning at $ 7.99!)

Space Shuttle 140 Piece Best Lock Construction Toy with Action Figure

51BM7P2CXVL Space Shuttle 140 Piece Best Lock Construction Toy with Action Figure Space Shuttle 140 Piece Best Lock Construction Toy with Action Figure Build your own space shuttle with this Best-Lock building set. For ages 5 and up. 140 pieces. Works with other construction toys such as LEGO. Future astronauts LOVE this toy! Our little ‘toy testers’ at home were thrilled to see this product arrive.
Customer Review: Not Lego, but fun
Our boys enjoyed building these, but there are definite draw back in quality. The biggest issue I have with it is that its not really as pictured on the box. I can only presume that was the marketings target product, but there are several difference from what you end up with. The main differences are in the wings, and the cab area, neither are nearly as realistic as the box implies (see image I’ve uploaded for what it looks like built).
The second issue we have is durability. Presumably Lego has some secret plastic formula that make their stuff work well, but these block alternate between requiring force to put together, or spontaneously disassembling themselves. I can only assume heat or elasticity of the plastic is to blame, but it is very frustrating for a young engineer.
Those cons aside I have to agree with the other reviewer, while it didn’t stay together very well on it s own, its got a bunch of neat pieces which have made themselves useful on all sorts of other projects.
Customer Review: Great for many reasons
The best thing about this toy isn’t the shuttle you can build. My 4 year old knocked that out in 10 minutes. The fun began when he started making a fleet of little ships out of it. All legos are like that, but this set especially lends itself to re-creation.

Star Wars Lego #7119 Twin-Pod Cloud Car

41DJ97565AL Star Wars Lego #7119 Twin Pod Cloud Car Star Wars Lego #7119 Twin-Pod Cloud Car The twin-pod cloud car with cyborg Lobot gets a high rating on the cool scale. Sleek and modern in its design, the ship makes for fun flying. In addition, the cockpits open two ways–via the clear front hatch or by the side door–making it extra versatile. This set offers a lot of adventure, whether used on its own or in conjunction with other Star Wars LEGO sets. –Jane Snyder
Customer Review: Great design and lots of fun
Lego’s Twin Pod Cloud Car is one of the coolest-looking Star Wars sets that I’ve seen in quite a while. The Cloud Car itself consists of two passenger compartments connected by an engine compartment. Both of the cockpits open two ways, which I think is a very neat feature. Also, the Cloud Car comes with the cyborg Lobot, who’s only found in this set! Overall, this set is worth the money and makes a fantastic addition to any SW collection.

P.S. Also note that this set is extremely durable

Tom, BIG Star Wars Fan
Customer Review: Where is LANDO??
This is a great set I must admit ut there are three major flaws with it.
One: Why Lobot? I want Lando!!
Two: No other pilot. Poor Lobot will be flying around in circles!!
Three:Whats the deal with that thing on the top of his head? I know that he has a computer thingy on the two SIDES of his head, but what the heck is that thing on top?
But besides that, the win pod cloud car is an excellent, impressive set.It has these cool open out cockpits that open out on the top and the side.
Besides the open out cockpit there is nothing much to this set except for the fact that it is extremely strongly built. I am a very clumsy person and I often accidentally drop my legos when I am bringing them places.But when I dropped this, It never broke!! Not once!!!
I really like it a lot apart from those flaws.I`ll have to get to work on a custom cloud car pilot.
An overall 11 of 15 stars.
