I guess I was expecting better from Breyer. This toy is made of pretty flimsy plastic. The doors snap off really easy and the hitch broke off of the truck. My 6 year old daughter isn't very hard on her toys. Most have lasted her for years.

I was expecting something more solid and sturdier for the price I paid.

This mouthpiece didn't do a lot for me. I went back to the original, then bought a Brilhardt that is much better.

I expected the product to be more serious in nature.  The video seemed like a Barnie episode.

Aargh!

Breyers are collectibles, not toys.  They are not durable enough for constant play.  Get Schleichs or Safari Limiteds until your kids are older: They're softer plastic, are cheaper, and will hold up better.

I love these, but not as toys.

Considering this says 'cow' in the listing, that's what I was expecting. What did I get? A bull. And not a great quality bull, either. For the $9 I paid I would have rather bought a Schleigh bull. If it was more expensive I would be returning it and finding a different seller to buy a cow to go with the Bruder milking set that I also bought. Very disappointing.

I bought this as an "entry level" horse stable for my 4 year old daughter, before going out and purchasing a more expensive wooden stable. I now wish I had spent more money on a more durable stable. My daughters are very gentle with their toys and I cannot keep this stable from coming apart. Doors and windows have already broken off, which is bad enough, but when the actual walls don't stay on, it's very frustrating to play with. I was really disappointed with Breyer.

I bought this because I needed a rolling seat for sit-down machine maintenance the day after this arrived. I chose this over less expensive models because it had a higher weight rating, hoping I was buying a nicer-built unit. I don't know if this is nicer than the cheaper ones but I was disappointed. I feel like there's no safety margin put on the alleged 450lb rating.

There's no bushings on the pivots to prevent the bolt threads from being damaged, it's just the edges of thin wall tubing resting on the bolts. The seat stops were welded in at the wrong angle, preventing the seat from going horizontal, they stopped the upper seat at 30 degrees from flat. I tried to force it horizontal and bent one of the pivot bolts by hand using only the leverage of the seat. The bolts had no markings on them, meaning that they are probably the cheapest steel bolts they could find. Because I didn't have the time to return this, I cut the welds of the seat stops so I had a seat for the next day's job. I also found some rust under the stops. I couldn't tell if that's just because it was between steel parts, or if the manufacturer powder coated over rusty steel.

The cushions were pretty thin and squeezes flat too easily. It's better than nothing, but even the thicker part looks much better in the photo, it looks and feels unimpressive in person.

The wheels are very nice. I'll give it an extra star for that. It seems like they spent all their money on the wheels.

I was hoping for a better experience. It looks attractive, but misses the functionality mark by a mile. The idea behind an automatic pet waterer is to go a reasonable span of time without having to fill or worry your pet could be without a fresh drink. Jar does not open at the top to fill to max capacity or refill without having to disassemble. You're always 1/3 empty in the jar reservoir as soon as the bowl fills.  Bowl does not fill more than half way unless I add water directly. I believe the combination of the dense square filter crammed and latched on top of the small teardrop shaped holes prevent water from flowing through completely as a gravity waterer should. Some reviewers said the angle is off, perhaps. But I feel the filter is putting too much pressure on the holes and stops water from entering bowl due to the water weight on the filter. Pretty disappointing.

I expected to love the book.  I love horse racing.  I ride horses.  I'm not troubled by slow, dense, books.  So I'm very disappointed to find that this book did not engage me, and I have to throw in the towel and put it back in the stack.

I've read quite a few horse books including Horse People: Scenes from the Riding Life, but Michael Korda, and some by Rita Mae Brown - the Virginia Fox hunting series, and of course, Seabiscuit.

This is a character driven, rather than a plot driven book.  Nevertheless, I didn't find that I enjoyed any of the characters, particularly Al and Rosalind - whose marriage did not float my boat.  As I forced my way deeper and deeper into it, I found myself saying - I don't Care about these People!

The setting didn't grab me.  I didn't feel the 'feel' of the racetrack, the feel of the saddle under my seat, the smell of leather, the rumble of distant hoofbeats.  Even the environment of the working class/hired people didn't provide a compelling 'atmosphere' for the story.

I did like that the horses and animals were given page time.  The animals were more enjoyable than the people.

I'm sure its just me.  Maybe if I wait a year then I'll pick up the book in the right mood to have it take hold of me.  But for now, I can't read it, and I'm passing my thoughts along in case there is any body else out there like me.

I was kinda disappointed my expectation was high. I love rodes and watch tons of youtube vidoes then decided to purchase this thing with high hopes. It works but not magnificently, guess nothing can replace a boom mic. I still lets in alot of background noise, its better than the on board mic on your camera. I wanted to give it 2 stars because of how expensive it was but i thought maybe its my settings maybe iam doing something wrong. I will continue to move forward with this mic with hopes i doing something incorrect and cross my fingers. If im wrong i will change my review but for now (Sad Face)

Not quite what I expected. I found the Rhodia to be a better choice.

I went for this set vs other track manufacturers for 2 reasons: 1) it seemed to have a relatively large percentage of longer straight track, and 2) I wanted to see if the V-shaped piece would fit the Thomas Kanpford station (nothing seems to, this included). I have track from Brio, Obrium, and Thomas already, and they all play nicely together. But this doesn't. The mill quality is noticeably rougher, and the fit with the other brands is frustratingly tight. I'd rather not spend time sanding. Also, all the pieces don't necessarily seem to comply with wooden railway standards. for example, the curved section of one of the 3 way splits doesn't make the full 45 degrees, and the height of one of the ascender (sp?) tracks seems off. If I hadn't dumped the whole box into our collection and get it all mixed up before working with the track and discovering these things, I would be returning it. Obrium track is in a similar price range and strikes me as much better quality, without shelling out for Brio track.

Being dairy free, I was super excited for these, and probably had my expectations too high. Thy have a funny after taste and are quite a bit harder than they look like they should be. It's nice to have a sweet treat, but I definitely wouldn't reach for these again.

I had high hopes for this mount.  I have experience with Larue and BoBro QD Mounts.  I desired this to be a "budget" QD mount and found it to perform what I should have expected.  As previous reviews suggested the tightening of the mount leaves a lot to be desired.  I could not get it tight enough on both sides to uniformly clamp to the rail applying uniform pressure.  It would still wiggle on the front even when it was at its tightest.

The Rifle I was attempted to mount it to was a Palmetto State Armory Factory .223 build with a full length Midwest industries rail.  Maybe I got a lemon, however from an engineering standpoint I will pay for the Larue everytime made in USA compared to what I got with this mount

So cheaply made. Breyer has went down hill with their products. Bought two of these for my granddaughters and wish I would have never bought them. They are falling apart.  They used to use metal back in the days, but what a shame.

Maybe my expectations are just way too high since these are high-end clippers for the DIY dog owner. I had read reviews and thought that I had made a great choice, but I have been disappointed. I have two large goldendoodles. When their hair grows out, it turns into dreadlocks, so I wouldn't expect the clippers to plow through those. However, even after we would spend hours cutting them down with scissors so that the clipper could get to where they could cut, the Oster clipper would not perform. The cut was sporadic and often would not cut. We would have to go over the dogs several times. If it did cut, it looked nice and even. (Details: I used brand new 10 Cryogenic blades for the most part when I did get good results.)
