How would you rate this compared to the original kit? We are currently overseas so I can't personally compare. I hear they are all the rage.

Have no experience with the original kit but my seven-year-old absolutely loves this it keeps her busy for hours she watches YouTube videos to learn how to do different styles and off she goes

Terrible! I returned it. Not the same as the original kit, the loom is hard to work with and the directions are difficult to follow. Would not recommend.

They are pretty close except for the quality. The rubber bands are of good quality but the 'loom' broke after a few uses. Luckily my kids did not mind.

It's nice, the one at Toys R Us is better for about the same price. My kids have had hours of fun making them.

This is better my ordinal kit broke the first day but,DIY one is better I made it for a year.

I might spend a few dollars more on a brand-name kit. As an adult, the loom was too short to make bracelets for myself.

my DIY colorful looms broke. while I have heard a couple of times that the rainbow loom broke. I have heard and seen comments about the diy breaking. In the long run it might be better to save up for the rainbow loom kit. Just be careful of the counterfeit loom dealers. One way to check if it is the real rainbow loom is to look for the trademark sign. If you get a rainbow loom and there isn't a trademark and "patent pending" on the bottom of all the plastic pieces, than it is fake.

The original version was rather limited in range at about 35 Ft where they claim around 100 for the 'improved' version The antenna that you see on the transmitter is a dummy and is actually inside the main case .It was the norm for people to do slight mods to the board increasing the range and all they have done is to do the same mods on the production models . They have also added LED lights alongside each engine pod which does nothing really for performance but adds a bit of 'bling' to the model . They claim some changes to the electronics board but I have fitted a new board to an earlier model where could not se any differance Still a nice little starter copter ,little bit twitchy but very soon overcome . Plenty information about this on RC Groups dot com

Defining 'quickly' is the challenge here. Are they super hard to assemble & disassemble? No. But my gut feel is that if you were to keep traveling with this kit doing that day in and day out you're going to break/strip some of the tighteners, these need to be done slowly as some of them are plastic and from what I've read by other reviews (not happened to me) they can break. I think it's a great home kit with some traveling. If you're going to be traveling non stop either get a more expensive kit or do it carefully. quickly - can sometimes mean 'in a rough fashion' so if that's true then the wear on the kit might be a bit much.

I do not own this, but I've been considering it. One of the things I've noticed in looking at different kits is that this one comes with way more pieces than the other similar kits out there. It seems (to me) that a kit that costs $45 wouldn't give enough pieces to really do much. And by the time you buy enough kits to equal the number of pieces in this kit, you'd actually spend more. But... I hear ya. It's a pretty big chunk of change.

Okay Gary, I just heard back from our contact. Here is what she said:They could check different bushcraft forms and blogs sites to see what others said about the Emberlit. Here is a good video to show the customer for comparison of the 2 stoves https://youtu.be/0vXoZwSoVA8. The boil time is a lot faster than the Solo.We offer a life time warranty on all of our products and if they are not satisfied with it you can return with a full refund. It also depends what they are using the stove for the solo doesn't pack flat and you would have to lift your pot up to feed it fuel where the Emberlit has a side port to feed the fuel.

Hi Jim,I am no drum expert, but it seems real to me. I have purchased kits from Walmart before and this is by far of better quality. Sorry I could not be more help.

It's supposed to be an "Advanced" build (meaning skill levels 12+ years) but after I looked the kit over I honestly don't see it being that bad... I haven't built it yet as I have lots of projects backed up but it's a nice kit... Hope this helps you somewhat...

Neighbor ... I hope that you are still reading. The other guys mean well, but are off the mark. This kit is the leveling system for use with the air bag system which is sold separately. If you buy this kit and nothing else .... the answer to your question is zero. The best thing for you to do is contact AirLift, tell the rep about your vehicle and what your goal is. He'll tell you what to buy. The rep is not a salesman. Get the list of parts and shop for the best price. That's almost always Amazon. No .... I don't own any Amazon stock or work for Amazon. I'm just a fat, little, 74yo man who has been working on his own cars and trucks forever. If you decide to strike out on your own you'll be spending more money than needed and maybe endangering the lives of you and your loved ones. thanks, your neighbor, ron :-)

@Austin the bearing were about the same quality as the reds bearings. Really the only difference was that they were yellow instead of red. Also the board came with yellow moranga wheels instead of yellow stims. Lastly, the bushings were garbage, but overall I like the board. It takes a little while to adjust to, but still good for tricks and pretty fun

Kelwin, I wish I could answer your question but I have not used the kit yet. I am sorry. Good luck.

I'm also looking for information comparing the two. In case you haven't seen it, there's a video review on YouTube. That's the only thing I've found so far.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxBmEWJwkr0

Yeah but try to describe it, beyond saying it's "better". ThanksP.S. Interestingly, I just talked to their company this morning. It seems that they left the belt-clip out of my box, they're going to mail me one. A couple of months ago I went there to swap my old 400 for a newer 400 when its FM went out. Had I heard from you before that, I would have asked them if I could give the 210 another listen. Several months ago they let me sit and compare ALL the models.P.P.S. Surprisingly, today they told me that this is actually the manufacturer here (in El Monte CA). Yeah but try to describe it, beyond saying it's "better". ThanksP.S.

Hi I am in the UK and bought my cadence kit from Wiggle.co.uk for £27.00 last year = circa $45. Free postage in thew UK but probably a charge for export to USA.... Good cycling!

This guy gives a great comparison. There are some minor but important differences that may matter to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkgR_307OEo

With the "silencer" on its not unbearable. With it removed its LOUD AS HELL. Not even kidding. There are a decent amount of videos on youtube you can check out as well

I have one in mine. This is a very small and very simple and small kit... Problem is it is very rudimentary in what it contains. If bugging out only would involve small scrapes and bruises it's great. Looking for survivability long term..... Not so much

I simply replaced the old one w/o comparing the two. I did not "notice" any difference from old to new. It wasn't like, "WOW. this is amazing!!" I should have replaced one and compared, but I did not. sorry no help.
