My granddaughter received this for her 9th birthday gift. It was the hit of the party. All the kids - girls and boys - wanted to use it. Not sure if the age will make any difference, gender didn't.

I bought it for my 11 year old grandson. At first he could not get it to work, but with the help of his dad it is working fine. Do not know about the Eyeclops Pacific Jakks. But this one should work for your son.

of course the manufactured would kinow best; however, my grandchildren age 9 and 12 asked for same for Christmas 2013. Thne 12 year old is really into it and really enjoys it and understands the concept; but my 9 year old does not seem interested (has not yet begun to look at it). I would say it all depends on the child and their interests. Sorry, this is all I have to offer.

From the research I have done, this is a better quality telescope than the PowerSeeker. The Celestron PowerSeeker series comes with extras (such as the Barlow lens), but the quality of the Celestron AstroMaster series is superior; that is why the AstroMasters cost more and come with less. At this price ($49.95 including shipping), it is a good buy. Good bye.

That's a great question, The Talon Hd's run about $250-350 more than the Diamondbacks, I Currently own the Diamondback 10 x 42, I'm extremely pleased with them. I would recommend going to a local retailer, like maybe a Cabales? or a store that is very big, and tell the sales clerk you want to compare the Diamondback to the Talon Hd. Then pick something to focus on in the store as far away as possible, and switch back and forth between the two. You may be able to determine if the extra money is worth it? Vortex has a lifetime VIP warranty. If I had the extra money to upgrade to the Talon HD? I would, just because each step up with the Vortex bino's, gets better and better, but I have many different outdoor Items I purchase, so I have to set a budget on each item. Excellent Optics! Good Luck! Enjoy the outdoors

One seller is ThinkFast for $33.95 and one is ToysNGamesEtc for $32.95. Both share these same reviews and questions as they are fulfilled by Amazon and from the picture, LOOK identical. This may seem like a stupid question but does this mean both ones priced different are both the older elf design with the skinnier face? The reviewer that answered yes to this original question... which one did you order? From which seller I mean... Thanks!

Noob question, but does anyone know what glasses will be compatible? I don't want to wait til July, but I also don't want to buy an adapter on the 18th wih no glasses. Thanks!

For $550, yes it is the best choice. If your serious about competition your going to have to spend a lot more that $550 on glass. This is a great entry level optic but it doesn't have a very good adjustable objective. That being said, your not going to find anything better for $550.

Go with the 300! I believe it goes faster than the 200. I bought mine for my 8y/o and 11y/o boys. Glad I got the faster ones! I use them too - super fun!!

I purchased the Samsung SSG-4100GB glasses for about $20.00. The small coin battery seems to last forever. While I haven't watched any 3D movies with them, my soon and I have played Assassin's Creed III and other 3D-aware games for extended durations and enjoyed the immersion of the 3D effects. I might get the more expensive glasses when I'm less worried about teenager damage.

Hi Jordan, A previous poster... b4idie .. gave you the perfect answer. Take a chance... you will be surprised at how much this kit will help you. Unfortunately Fuji did not leave room for many addons.. But this one is very useful and also has a lot of eye appeal.

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

My son is 11 yrs old and it is great for the purpose of seeing various objects under low and high power magnification. I would highly recommend buying some prepared slides as the quality is very good and much better than anything you could mount and stain yourself (see my other reviews)

The Eyeclops only zooms in 200 times...older version and more expensive, go figure?!?!?! The Eyeclops Multiezoom magnifies up to 400 times and is the newer version but way cheaper.

I would say overall yes. with that said i would have gotten the raptor fx if it was out when i got mine, its a bit more (i think $75) but they cut a lot of weight. i believe the raptor is 7lbs vs 9 and it comes with a better scope/or the same. my decision is purely on weight as i would replace the scope regardless, just hate the 3dot. if you cant afford a lighter one this one dose great and i get very clean kills with it. ive had it for 3 full seasons, wax your strings especially the the two that cross in the slide. they are very expensive to fix, not just on this xbow but all

I would recommend doing some brand research. I'm not sure of a better alternative because I wasn't really in the market for one. I thought it was neat. Until it fell apart. Also slingshots that have a arrow attachment are neat. One of those might also be something he would enjoy.

What are your thoughts between the Eyeclops Multizoom and the Eyeclops Bionic Cam which comes with the USB stick?

This is probably the best one you can get for a 7 yr old. When he gets a little older you may want to expand to something a little better such as the Japanese ones though. I am 13 and bought this and wasn't completely satisfied but my 8 yr old brother was
