I returned this because it looked very small to me and not the quality I expected for the money.  Since I returned it, I have noticed boys, my grandson's age, are wearing what looks like this one.  I am wondering if this grandma just didn't not know what the young boys liked these days.

Bought this for my grandson for his birthday. Within two weeks of indoor use only, the rear axle started to smoke and would not work any longer. I was out of the country and found the return policy prohibited my return after 6 weeks.

My grandson loves to work with his grandpa, but if given full size adult tools, he tears up the house, among other things. I wanted him to have a set of kid-sized toys of his own, but realistic ones because he is very observant & I knew he wouldn't want anything "fake". I checked thru many products offered, to try and make a good decision & from reading the ad & reviews, the perception was that these were "real" tools, made of metal, only junior sized!! They're NOT!! They are plastic!! Much to my chagrin when the UPS man pulled up & my grandson ran to get his pkg & opened it, and was excited, but within 15 min one piece was already broken!! How do I now take them from him & return them because he knows they are HIS. But, if it wouldn't upset him, I WOULD return them!!! He is only 3 & has no concept of value or quality nor the ability to understand "rip off"!! I have always had good luck with Amazon, but am very disappointed in this product!! The ads put on there should be more specific to what items are made of & more clear for consumers!!! I would not have pd $5 for this set if I had purchased it from a place where I could have put my hands on them!!
ALSO, for the people who want 2 be tacky towards other peoples opinions, i am adding this comment that "Yes, in fact i have seen metal tools in not the tool "aisle" but in the actual toy STORE! Toys R Us carries realistic tools made by Home Depot, for kids, even power tools. But so in ur lowered intelligence, you understand, they aren't sharp, nor do they really function as the real tools do!! Also, maybe someone should inform you that with ANY toy you let a child play with, they should be SUPERVISED!!! Ever think of that??

I am a grandmother who purchased this Didj system for her special needs 14 year old grandchild last year.  She has played only one game on this since now finding out that if she gets a new game some type of updating has to take place on a computer each time and thats if your home computer is compatible.  I paid almost $100 total for this and a battery charger kit.  I am not computer savvy at all but didn't realize that this has to be done in order to play each game that can be purchased for this DIDJ.  I was very unhappy.  Now, for some reason they have dropped tremendously down in price from last year - many people that I know that purchased this type of Leapster system does not like this at all.  Very disappointed and cant even sell this for $50.  Thats half of what I paid for this and looks like new.  My grandchild, too is without a toy from last years Christmas. PLEASE READ ALL INFO ON THIS PRODUCT BEFORE PURCHASING.

It was a OK computer. But I never ordered this computer from Amazon. My 16 yr old grandson ordered this computer by using my credit card
without my knowledge. My daughter and grandson are living at my home due to her divorce. I left my credit card at home when I went to
Florida to visit my brother. When I returned home I discovered that my credit card was used to purchase the computer. My grandson admitted that he used my card to see if he liked the computer, I did promise him that I would get him a reeasonable price computer for his birthday ( in July),.
I am so disappointed in my grandson for doing this. I would have given him the world if he asked me for it, But not now !!!!.

Bought this in hopes it would help my grandson. It does not work! I didn't discover until more than a month. Aargh!

I ordered this item which came quickly.  Intended as a present, it was opened Xmas day.  I installed the batteries and waited.  And waited.  And waited.  There was no reception, despite my living in Toledo, OH, a city of 300,000.

Brookstone will refund the payment (they said).  However, though the return was a result of a product defect ("inadequacy" might be more accurate), they will NOT refund the over-priced ($10.99) shipping.  And, of course, return shipping was at my expense (though it was under $3.00).

In all, a disappointment, especially as a gift.

Ordered for my grandson, but it was the wrong one.  Didn't know how to do a return, so now I spent $20 on something he can't use.

I had to return it, I bought it for my 2 year old, the one piece jump suit I received would not fit any kid ive ever seen. the arms and legs were extremely long, but the body piece was so short, I couldnt5 even get it over his shoulders (and hes a pretty small kid) aside from that, the costume was pretty poorly made, I was afraid it was going to break apart just taking it out of the package. the return was relatively simple, but they did charge me a 12% restocking fee which sucked

was working for a short period of time and then stopped; my grandson even didn't have a chance to learn from it like it was expected; - waste of money!!!!!!!!!

Shame on me for thinking this might be something cool to use while out fishing. It was too late to return it, so my 6 year old grandson might enjoy playing with it.

Ordered by mistake, was looking at several, and didn't see this one did not have a kickstand, so 6 yr. old could watch videos. I went to return it and they want half of what I paid for it for shipping. I might have given a better review, it it wasn't for their return policy. It would not cost me $8.54, to USPS back to them. MY BAD AND I WILL MAKE DUE, TO MAKE GRANDSON HAPPY.

These tool are good quality but they are plastic. I was under the assumption they were "real working tools, just junior versions" but they are just plastic toys. I was really disappointed. My grandson is ready to graduate to real tools. Totally my bad. I guess I should have done a little more research. I'll save them for the next grandson/daughter that comes in the future. The return charges are too high.
