Mancala For Kids

41ESPEJH6RL Mancala For Kids Mancala For Kids It’s called Mancala For Kids, but, aside from having the traditional playing stones shaped into plastic animal forms, it’s a surprisingly elegant version of the centuries-old pebble-snatching pursuit. With its clasped and hinged board fashioned of solid hardwood, this game’s equipment is finer than many deluxe sets on the market, and the simple classic rules are intact. Two players still scoop out stones from one of their wells, dropping one in each subsequent pocket and trying to collect opposing pieces. So, go ahead and call it Mancala For Kids–at least until your little opponent scoops up all your doggies, fishies, and widdle turtles and wins the game. –Tony Mason
Customer Review: Great gift for 6-7 year olds
We have given this gift for birthday presents several times. It is a good old-fashioned game, i.e., not electronic, not superheros, not spawned by a TV show.
Customer Review: Awesome
I first played this game at summer camp. All of my friends and I used to fight over who would play. This went on from the beginning to the end and then I wanted to buy it. This toy never gets old. It is fun for all ages and you will just want to keep playing and playing …

Electronic Hand Held Deluxe Sports Games Grand Slam Baseball

Electronic Hand Held Deluxe Sports Games Grand Slam Baseball Replicating all the action and feel of a live sporting event in a battery-operated handheld console is a tall order. But that hasn’t stopped the folks at MGA Entertainment from stepping up to the plate with Grand Slam Baseball, one of several sporty entries in their Deluxe Games line. Powered by two 1.5-volt cell batteries (included), Grand Slam Baseball offers nine innings of play on its 1.75-by-1.13-inch LCD screen, which is imbedded inside a translucent plastic handset. Thumb controls activate the screen icons in either pitching or batting duels against the computer. These directional controls are effectively arranged in a quartet of pie wedges easily within thumb’s reach. Never mind the occasional tortured translation on the instruction sheet; ultimately, it’s the miniscule, squint-inducing LCD graphics (which tend to appear and disappear depending on how outside light hits the screen) that actually replicates the ballpark experience. But only if you bought a really cheap ticket. –Tony Mason

LEGO Harry Potter: The Final Challenge (4702)

4146ZQR8KEL LEGO Harry Potter: The Final Challenge (4702) LEGO Harry Potter: The Final Challenge (4702) When you’re a young sorcerer-in-training, homework takes on a whole new significance. So when characters out of the imagination of bestselling author J.K. Rowling decide to stage the ultimate Spell-ing Bee in LEGOland, no doubt the floo powder leads them to LEGO kit number 4702, The Final Challenge. Designed for Harry Potter fans, this 60-piece book/movie tie-in is heavier on the classic LEGO interlocking construction than other sets in the Harry Potter series, but still features such novelties as a spider web catapult and orange plastic torch “flames.” Complete with a 16-page full-color instruction booklet, LEGO makes this Challenge a snap. –Tony Mason
Customer Review: Best Harry Potter Set worth 10 bucks
This is the best Small Harry Potter set. It comes with Professer Quirell/voldemort and Harry Potter. It also has the sorcerers stone and the Mirror of Erised.
Customer Review: If You’ve Got Ten Bucks Handy, Drop it on This Harry Potter
A few years ago, when LEGO got the Star Wars license, I was in hog heaven. LEGO purists may tell you that this has resulted in a “dumbing down” of LEGO toys, but me, I like it. I thought it couldn’t get any better than that. And then came Harry Potter LEGO. Starting in September, the boy wizard and his friends and enemies have been appearing in plastic in various toys, ranging from stuffed owls, dogs, and dragons to action figures from Mattel, to Harry Potter LEGO.

If you’re going to buy some Harry Potter merchandise for your pups, make it the LEGO. They’re going to get a lot more play value out of it than the other toys that are part of a magical onslaught just in time for Christmas.

WARNING: If you haven’t read the first Harry Potter book, this review will give away a crucial plot point…don’t ruin it for yourself!

This is one of the smaller sets, but it gives you some very important and very fun pieces. The set costs ten dollars, has 60 pieces, and is the only way to get Harry’s Arch Enemy, Lord Voldemort. If you haven’t read the books or seen the movie yet, this little set is key to not only THIS book and THIS movie, but all successive Harry Potter adventures. And it’s ONLY ten bucks!

This set represents a little chunk of Hogwart’s, a castle which is a school for Harry and his friends. In this room is a magical mirror, called the Mirror of Erised. It’s enchanted, so that when you look in it, you see your fondest dream. For Harry, this dream is to see his parents alive and well again–he was orphaned by Lord Voldemort when he was just an infant. The mirror is also a sort of secret chamber/revolving wall (I’m not sure WHAT to call it!) That hides The Sorceror’s Stone. I haven’t seen these secret panels before, but I understand the Hogwart’s LEGO set is full of them. I like them a lot.

The minifigs that come with the set are Harry Potter and Professor Quirrell. Harry is decked out in his Gryffindor house robes, has a magic wand, and a black cloak with white stars printed on the inside. Very spiffy. His face also varies a bit from the classic LEGO smiley face… he’s got his trademark round spectacles and a tiny lightning-bolt shaped scar over his eye. His hair is also a new kind of piece that I haven’t seen before, that looks just like it does in the movie.

Professor Quirrell is wearing a purple turban and his teaching robes (he’s a Professor of Dark Arts at Hogwart’s), and he’s got a somewhat disturbed/constipated look on his face. The reason for this disturbed face is revealed when you remove the turban to find…..Lord Voldemort’s serpentine visage on the BACK of Quirrell’s head!!!!

So this really IS the final challenge…where Harry confronts Voldemort. Your children (and you, for that matter) will want this set to complete Harry’s adventures and challenges. Besides the remarkable swinging panel I mentioned, this set also includes some nifty pieces like a castle turret, a black owl, a bat, a spider web, a spider, and some torches. It fits in very nicely with the other castle sets from Harry Potter’s world, or stands alone very well.

This was the first Harry Potter LEGO set I bought, and I loved it so much that…I bought a lot more. I wouldn’t recommend just ANYTHING with Harry Potter stamped on it…but these LEGO sets are must-haves.

Parker Brothers Star Wars Board Game – Escape the Death Star Action Figure Game with 2 Exclusives Action Figures (Luke Skywalker in Trash Compactor and Darth Vader with Removable Dome)

51X19Yu8rrL Parker Brothers Star Wars Board Game   Escape the Death Star Action Figure Game with 2 Exclusives Action Figures (Luke Skywalker in Trash Compactor and Darth Vader with Removable Dome) Parker Brothers Star Wars Board Game – Escape the Death Star Action Figure Game with 2 Exclusives Action Figures (Luke Skywalker in Trash Compactor and Darth Vader with Removable Dome) May the Force–and a good roll of the dice, too–be with you while playing the Star Wars: Escape the Death Star Action Figure Game from Parker Brothers. Though technically more of a battle game than, as the title suggests, a race to the nearest exit, this engaging and clearly explained boxful contains rules for two games: The basic game, for players ages 6 and 7 years old, invites rebels to attack Boba Fett, Darth Vader, and a half-dozen Stormtroopers, all of whom are guarding the Millennium Falcon at the center of the board designed as a series of Death Star corridors and passageways. By landing on a square occupied by a baddie, and rolling a six before the villain does (Boba wins in the event of a tie, while Vader gets to roll two dice to your one) you win the battle. When all eight Imperials are captured, add up your points. A more complex game for older ages involves one player controlling an Imperial against all opponents, and introduces the concept of secret moves on a personal miniboard, which are then revealed simultaneously. Adaptable for use with additional action figures (Luke and Vader are included here), this is an enthralling game to which Star Warriors will want to–like a Jedi–return. –Tony Mason

Lego Star Wars 7111 Droid Fighter

41HE14sn82L Lego Star Wars 7111 Droid Fighter Lego Star Wars 7111 Droid Fighter This set is certainly not in any danger of being confused with the output of George Lucas’s Industrial Light and Magic special-effects shop, but, with its customized plastic pieces that combine in classic LEGO snap-together fashion, the LEGO System Star Wars Droid Fighter does qualify as a worthwhile and versatile entry into the Star Wars galaxy. The full-color, 18-step booklet provides instructions for the basic Droid Fighter; a couple of other configurations suggest themselves in the finished image, though, leaving the how-to in your hands, Solo. –Tony Mason
Customer Review: Buy a fleet
I liked this set because I could buy a lot of these without having extra figures around to worry about what to do with. I think the ship is fairly easy to work with as far as changing it around from a ship to a walking droid. It also has a good balance of pieces to make unique creations.
Customer Review: The bandwagon trundles onwards.
What on earth is this rubbish? Is this what we’ve got to look forward to – complete tat with the name of a film tacked onto the box? Bring back the old Lego space sets.

Trivial Pursuit Star Wars Classic Trilogy Collectors Edition

51XRHW20DQL Trivial Pursuit Star Wars Classic Trilogy Collectors Edition Trivial Pursuit Star Wars Classic Trilogy Collectors Edition Are you the kind of person for whom the initials T. P. are more apt to trigger a response of Tarkin and Piett than Trivial Pursuit? Looking for an opportunity to put that hard-core knowledge of Star Wars-abilia to the test? Well belly up to the cantina to play the Trivial Pursuit: Star Wars Classic Trilogy Collector’s Edition, the customized edition of the now-classic Q&A game designed especially for disciples of the three Ls: Luke, Lando, and Leia. With over 2,000 questions in six categories such as Weapons & Vehicles and Droids, Creatures & Aliens, all based on the first three movies in the Star Wars series, this collector’s edition features a numbered game board, pewter tokens, and–in lieu of dice–a battery-powered (two A76 cells, included) R2-D2 model which randomly displays a number with the press of his head. For fact-filled fans who know which Endor’s up, the Trivial Pursuit: Star Wars Classic Trilogy Collector’s Edition means Ewok, Don’t Run. –Tony Mason
Customer Review: Star Wars…what more can I say
Okay, admittedly I am what would be considered a Star Wars geek. This is a fun game for anyone who enjoys Star Wars. I don’t think some would find it fun if they don’t know anything about Star Wars but I believe that’s got to be hard to find — someone who knows NOTHING about Star Wars.

Pentominoes Brainteaser Puzzle

31MUZ9bDyCL Pentominoes Brainteaser Puzzle Pentominoes Brainteaser Puzzle No doubt about it: Pentominoes is like a Mensa test from Hades. It’s as if they took a typical I.Q. exam, ditched all the “Hat is to head as glove is to… ” and scrambled word stuff, and left you with all the spatial shapes questions. The equipment is diabolically simple: 12 three-dimensional polygons fashioned out of heavy oak, which are stored in a felt-bottomed oak frame. The enclosed booklet challenges solvers to use these pieces–which resemble anything from a plus sign to the letter L–to replicate the 54 designs and patterns shown on its pages, things like a 3-D pyramid and a 2-D rectangle. The fiends at Square Root Games magnanimously provide five solutions to the 54 challenges; if you want the other 49, you have to send them $5. –Tony Mason
Customer Review: Nice set of Pentominoes
The pentominoes set was made of oak wood and generally of high quality, shrink-wrapped with plastic over the set with a booklet describing the patterns that can be created. The set is on a board that is about 15in x 15in.

Star Wars CommTech Reader

713T4MBBH5L Star Wars CommTech Reader Star Wars CommTech Reader May the voice be with you. And since this baby is equipped with a belt clip, the voices of all the Star Wars: Episode I basic action figures can be with you wherever you go. Designed to resemble Qui-Gon Jinn’s Jedi comlink, this memory module serves as a minicomputer that allows you to scan the CommTech chips (included with all of the action figures in the series), which record the characters talking in their own voices. Included in this package is a chip with sound bites from Obi-Wan, Jinn, and the infamous Jar Jar. Special features include buttons triggering the sounds of blasters and lightsabers, as well as a computer mechanism for communication between select characters (the unit retains memory of the last chip scanned). It was probably only a matter of time before dolls would be encoded with microchips so they could talk to each other, and special equipment would be required to listen in. For now, hearing Mr. Kenobi exhort, “You will be a Jedi, I promise” is pretty cool. But can Queen Amidala’s “I order you to collect all 13 of my Star Wars colleagues” be far, far behind? –Tony Mason
Customer Review: So AWESOME!!! MUST HAVE
This is definately a MUST HAVE item. I dont have one now but it looks soooooooooooooooooooo cool!!! I just have to get one. I’ve seen alot of other reviews from other STAR WARS lovers and they were very helpful. I just realy hope i get one soon!
