I am a 40 year old touch deprived single male without a girlfriend and who was born in Hong Kong.  I think I know a thing or two about cheap plastic toys.  Put simply... the visceral thrill of aerial flight has finally come to the masses.  You needn't spend 4 years at the Marine Corp learning to fly an Osprey, no, you can get 90% of the way there if you have a couple of drinks and take to the skies with your "little bird". Perhaps its good for kids and families, but I prefer to think of it as salvation for a middle aged video gamer.  The whoosh of rotor blades, the "realness" of it all.  Very satisfying, best toy I've bought in ages.

I'm an adult collector of Playmobil. I guess that's what I have to call myself now, as my kids are grownup and I can't use them as an excuse to buy it anymore, LOL. I've been a fan of Playmobil since I was a kid living for awhile in Germany. As soon as I had kids, I bought it for them, as it's the perfect toy. I have a giant plastic box of it I kept for my grandkids. These toys last for years and are truly something you'll get your money's worth from! My kids played with Playmobil from the time they were 3 (the chunky kind for little kids) until they were young teens (shhhh don't tell anyone)!
Playmobil is extremely well-made (high quality), with tons of well-crafted adorable pieces that help bring imagination to life...or in the case of this case, make a perfect Christmas display for a child or an adult (ahem...). This particular set is so adorable, and comes with St. Nicholas, his horse and 3 kids with hats and Christmas lanterns. As usual with Playmobil, all the little attentions to detail make it super cute and fun to set up. I don't see this particular set being available for very long (as the more unique sets seem to disappear quickly), so grab it while you can! ;-)

Though an insane price to pay for a toy, it will be worth every cent to see the joy on my 3 yo grandson's face Christmas morning.  I'm 53 years old and when I opened the box and saw it for the first time, it impressed me...and I've seen many a toy in my lifetime.  LOL  The reason I decided to buy this particular toy was the customer reviews I read when shopping for a crane to come from Santa.  Only the best would do.  So far, I'm seriously impressed.  I expect this toy to go through several children.  Merry Christmas!!

My family and friends have had entirely too much fun with this. I got it as a little flashback to my childhood days and I was pleasantly surprised at how many people either didn't know what this was, or got downright giddy when they saw it because they recognized it and wanted to play with it.

My kids were hilarious with it. My daughter was scared of it for a while, but once she was her big brother playing with it, she was ok with being around it. My son though, immediately took to it and was (well, he still is) completely enamored with it. This is the first thing he grabs in the morning after waking up, and he hates sharing it. He has played with this for HOURS.

This is exactly how I remember it. The size, the shape, the pins, the feel of it on your hand or face. It brings back a lot of memories. It seems to be really well made, but its not meant to hold up to toddlers dropping it repeatedly, so mine does have a crack on the side now and a pin missing that he bent. But its still the same fun toy that you know and love. I would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone!

I received this toy for free through [...]

My six year old daughter had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new toy ever since I heard that I would get the chance to review it, and luckily, it arrived today.  All that we needed to do was install three AAA batteries, and the toy was ready to go.  My oldest and her 3 1/2 year old twin sisters picked a monkey first.  They answered all of Magic Jinn's questions about the animal's size, appearance, habitat and food, and Magic Jinn kept guessing "rat" instead of a monkey.  We weren't sure what went wrong there, but he did successfully guess horse, elephant, and tiger.  It seems that the times when we answered "it depends" the toy had a hard time guessing our animal.  If we chose an animal without a varying size, it was easier for him to guess.

I definitely recommend this for elementary school-aged kids, and even for those who are younger and have the help of a grown-up for some of the questions.

haha this was one of my favorite childhood toys! Maybe I'll get lucky someday and some will resurface so I can buy another set. Some of my earliest and most vivid memories come from playing with the cauldron (full of white glitter glue.) I wish we had saved the cauldron, but I was a little young to have that kind of foresight. Thanks for the memories guys!

I had to get this for my nephew (5) as soon as I saw it. I bet if I had a nickle for every hour I logged playing with one of these 35 years ago I would pay my mortgage! I was worried about the construction of toys now a days, but they retro built it apparently because it was AWESOME just like the one I used to have. Good sturdy construction and the family beat the heck out of it all day with no ill effects.  LOVE THIS ITEM!

My OBGYN's office had one of these in their waiting room. My daughter accompanied me on many of my prenatal checkups when she was a late 1--early 2 yr old. She absolutely loved this toy. Every time we stepped into the waiting room she would go find it and play with it the whole visit. It was such an adorable toy that kept her attention so well.

I read the reviews for this toy before I bought it.  They all said it was great, and they were right on the money!  This is the most amazing toy I have ever bought and I am 26!  It took me a few weeks to find it since I live in Germany, and it was well worth the wait.  Definately a steal for $50.  My son is only 14 months so he just likes to hold the lightsaber, but I really didn't get it for him in the first place.  If you are looking for something for a Star Wars fan of any age, this is it!  Way better than some replica life size Yoda for $300.  If you don't have this toy you need to get it immediately!

I had this for my older son and haven't forgiven myself for passing it on! I'm so glad we got it again. The only playset out there that's better than this one is the Little People Noah's Ark set - trust me, you want both.

My toddler already wants to play with this every day. I thought it would be a holiday toy - nope! Year round. There's just something about those Little People toys that kids love. And what I love? High quality, no chemical smells, long-lasting, and easy to clean.

I know the price for all Little People toys seems high, but trust me - it's worth it. Not only will your child love them, but they will last through all your kids. Now, I've learned my lesson and I'm hanging on to these for future kids and grandkids.

I played with the Fisher Price The Sing a Ma Jigs Snowman for an entire month. It has built in mouth that moves and opens and has teeth. The teeth and mouth was very realistic I could feel the teeth. Wow amazing design. It's very very durable. and soft and cuddly. The voice is good enough. I would of wanted to put a different voice or option to put a different voice. Like my own for my child or with usb software upgrade option. Is that too much to ask for a toy like this? Otherwise I actually played it to annoy my wife and mother in law on the breakfast table time to time. Eventually, I gave it to a next door family to try it out. They like it. Their 8 year boy says Thank you.

I have waited for many many years to own this mixer. The kids are all grown up and the bills are fewer. I decided I was going to buy this for me. But, if I bought it I wanted some of the attachments also. So I ordered this mixer. When it came I was so excited. It was not just beautiful but huge! I used it and absolutely fell in love. So I ordered the pasta attachments, the roller, spaghetti, fettuccine,  and ravioli runners. Then I ordered the pasta press (my favorite) and the grinder with the sausage stuffer. Then I had to have the ice cream attachment. I have made ice cream  2 times now and we love how easy it is. If you love to cook special things for your family this is a must. I hope to pass it down to the kids and grandkids. Try it you will love it too!
