It is very possible this toy will be oodles of fun. But if you're buying this toy from Amazon, please don't forget to scroll allllll the way down to the last sentence of the Editorial Review so you can find out that you must also purchase this strange, oddly named TMH Flexpak (whatever that is.) If you look closely at the information provided on the specifications directly under the picture of the toy, it only states that 1 9V battery required. That is not accurate.

Let me save you the trouble of doing a search for the TMH Flexpak, and tell you you aren't purchasing a $50 toy, but an $80 toy because that elusive TMH Flexpak is $30. I don't care how much fun the toy is going to be. It isn't worth a $30 battery pack that will ONLY work with TYCO toys.

I have five kids. I do all of my Christmas shopping online to save time and sanity, which means I don't look at the packaging until it comes out of the shipping box. While it is clearly marked on the package that you need the TMH Flexpak, it is not clearly marked on this site where I purchased it. If I had known it was an $80 toy instead of a $50 toy, I wouldn't have purchased it.

Because I have a large family, I'm on a budget for Christmas spending. I already spent the maximum amount on my son for his Christmas presents. I hope Santa's elves are working hard in their chemical plants making lots of these TMH Flexpaks and that Santa brings one to my son, because I can not.

Before you buy this, do realize that it has a serious read degredation problem along with many other Samsung SSDs using the same NAND.

I can see class action suits lining up and going around the corner.

So, there are a few things you should know about this product before you buy it that the description here does not do a good job telling you about.

1 - At least the one I got did not come with any documentation whatsoever.  I did come with one of those tiny CD's that was labeled "Driver", however, when I opened the CD, it actually contained drivers for multiple products that were labeled by some code - problem was, it was not clear at all which one of these folder actually contained the drivers needed to install this card!  Windows was not able to find the drivers on the CD - they may be there, but I did not want to run the setups in all of the folders on the CD in hops that I got lucky and found the correct one.  After wasting way too much time trying to use the included CD, I ended up finding the drivers I needed off of the Internet and installed them.  I was finally able to find help on where to get the drivers from the comments here, and I will post the web site I got them from in case you are struggling as well:  http://am.renesas.com/media/products/tools/introductory_evaluation_tools/starterkits_evaluation_boards/usb_3_demo_card/RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-30230-setup.exe

2 - In order to get this card working, you will need to hook it up to a 4-pin Molex power connector.  Of course, since there was NO documentation to tell you this, I had to figure it out pretty much on my own.  In my situation, my brand new computer did not have any 4-pin Molex connectors in it at all since most newer drives use different connectors.  I ended up having to purchase a separate converter cable just to get this working (this took a couple of extra days to get to me).

3 - One of the reasons I purchased this card vs some of the other one was because in addition to a 20-pin USB 3.0 slot and 2 ports on the back of the card that I needed, I also needed an external eSATA slot on the back of my PC.  I incorrectly assumed that this card would give me that slot by just installing the card - as I finally figured out, the eSATA portion is only a pass-through port.  This means that you have to connect a cable from your motherboard to this card to get that portion working.  Again, not exactly what I though I was getting - luckily I had an available cable inside my box I could use, but by using it I basically lost the ability to install another internal hard drive in the future - should I ever need to do that, I will have to purchase a true eSATA card to give me some more expandability.  Not an issue now, but not what I thought I was getting either.

When all was said and done, I was able to get it working, and it appears to be working great.  While I am by no means an expert with the insides of a PC, I do have enough experience with them to be able to get all of this figured out, but if you are not the type that knows at least the basics, I can see where this product could give you a big headache.

Do not fall for the misinformation in the text. It does not come with a my labs access code to use as that will cost an additional $65. You are better off buying the book new the selling it back later.

Buying on this online should come with a big disclaimer that if u choose to return it - it will cost almost $60 and you have to organize the shipping yourself. So be very very sure u want it before you buy! My two year old was more interested in pushing this than riding it. However I can't justify the cost to mail this back. So I'm going to probably sell it via Craigslist

Wow reading the reviews it makes me really disappointed in people. The Camera is awesome, very easy setup and very good performance. Every bad review I am reading is for the following.

A. people are inexperienced with technology and blaming the device and not themselves.
B. people are assuming its their camera when I found its generally your ISP's crap modem router.

I really wish people would check themselves before just hanging a product out to try. The bad reviews are a sad example of peoples frustration.

--- Ignore the bad reviews, try it for your self. Return it if you hate it, whatever, just don't give a bad review because you lack the proper knowledge to set the device up.

Do not buy this thing.  I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER.

First off, it will test itself for long periods of time whenever you turn it on after being off for a little bit, right when you want to print something, and whenever you've opened the top part (i.e. scanner, copier) or installed new cartridges.

Secondly, it will NOT PRINT ANYTHING if its out of any of the colors.  So, if you're out of a color and want to print in black and white, guess what, that's a no for you.  Are you a graphic designer who knows what colors you can still make if you're out of magenta and want to print with what you have left?  Too bad, no prints for you.

Let's talk about those ink cartridges.  They have chips to them, and the printer even knows when you buy off brand cartridges and it warns you with "You have installed a non-HP ink cartridge and we can not guarantee the quality."  (Expensive cartridges by the way.  ~$67 for CMYK.  When you can get off brand at 20)  Okay, and you seem to not guarantee the quality of your own either.  Oh and how about how I can install new cartridges, and the printer tells me they are empty.  Remove them and reinstall, retry, fail, remove, turn off, turn on, reinstall, and guess what, I now have a full cartridge.  I kept some old cartridges because I knew how buggy this thing was, in which you would be informed, for instance, Cyan is dry, remove it, put your old one (which by the way, was told they are empty despite getting ink on my hands), be able to print, OOOOOR be told the old one is empty, reinstall the newer one and PRESTO CHANGO it has 50% cyan again.  Magically.

If you are looking for regular prints, buy something smaller, simpler, and from another brand.  If you are a graphic designer, like me, just use printing services locally or buy something way more expensive and not HP.  I've had bad printers, bad computers, and bad cameras.  Just take my advice, never EVER buy HP again.

First:  Read all reviews BEFORE you buy. "Doing your homework" is not the same as "yeah I'll just read the positive reviews and buy this". LET THE "DISLIKE" VOTES GET BIGGER NOW.

Second:  Everything said about the parts is true. Barlow, lenses, finder and (less so)the mount, are worthless.

Third:  Prepare to spend just as much for the "real" parts as the hole scope itself, maybe even more.

Fourth:  Even after spending about $200 on top of this, the best Jupiter looks is like a small dot (6.4mm plus nice Barlow also multi-coated),

Fifth:  If you are a total noob like me, you will only get enjoyment out of howlin' at the moon.

YOU ARE WARNED.

PS. Starry Night is so much better than the software they give you. I'm learning alot about astronomy through my books.

Please, PLEASE, read this book before you buy all the holistic junk medicine out there.  Or, if you really can't spare the time, here's a shortcut: any time you see a supplement that has the words "These claims have not been verified by the FDA and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease" it means the product is junk and a waste of money.  The only value is as a placebo--that is, if you really truly believe the product will help you then it will, somewhat.  But then so would a sugar pill.

The unit is certainly a great solid piece of equipment...but if you're interested on buying it, this is what you should know:

The Aluminum Pulley kit that is displayed on these pictures are not included on none of those price tags...according to Body Solid and other resellers that aluminum kit is an upgrade that you have to buy if you want a much smoother workout, which I found incredibly disappointing to find out right after I bought it.

This is not Amazon's fault, and it's certainly false advertisement, I spoke with both the reseller and Body Solid, and as of now Im still waiting on a resolution from both of them.

I will update this post as soon as I get a resolution on this matter through Body Solid.

For those thinking of buying it, I wouldn't recommend using this product with the pulley kit that come from stock, they're not that great, and according to other reviews online they say the aluminum kit is the way to go.

UPDATE: They did resolve my case, but it wasn't easy at all.  Contact the seller before you buy!

The thing is that this is the best there is and the best just is not very good yet.  There are just too many variables. They really need to warn people when they buy because this is expensive stuff.  I want a  refund.  We should not have to rely on the word of others but on the company itself.  They are not being honest enough.  They should say this is still primitive and hard to use and prone to errors.  It is just barely usable at best.  It takes a ton of work to make it better and better is still not good.  I bought this on a hope and a dream and was shot down by that, being all I was standing on.  The problem is that they still have my money.  It is not fair but that it is the way it is.  I knew it going in but I warn you all now.  Watch out.  The chances are better than not that this is not a good move buying this.  The chances are this will not be what you need it to be.

If you are buying this, do your research. You may own a model where you would have to have someone program it. You could buy a thing by Dorman from Autozone, maybe even on Amazon, that contains a thing you hook up to your computer and it'll let you program the remote, The thing you buy like that usually comes with a remote, so if that's the case don't buy this.
When I realized I needed to do one of those two things after buying this, I just took the remotes apart, because really my issue was the keypad wasn't working properly. You can test this out by swapping them if you have bought this, you could just put the old board into the new remote body, with the new pad, etc.

A little prelude to my review.  One of my neighbors is a game developer who works for a company that makes games for the Xbox, Xbox 360 and MSN network (mostly downloadable content).  He told me that his company currently has 4 Xbox 360s and he warned that I should wait until all the bugs are ironed out before I buy one myself.

Ok, now onto my review.  I don't understand why people would buy this system at this moment.  There are no must play game for the 360 and that's the bottom line.  Also, one of the reasons why you can't find one is that people are buying these things to solely to sell, thus creating an entirely new class of middlemen who you can find on ebay and craigslist.  This in turn makes the people who are forking over $400 to get this system actually believe that they are getting a great "bargain" when compared to what people are paying on ebay.

Trust me folks.  Just wait 'til spring when some more games come out or wait for the PS3.  You really aren't missing much.

Things to know that I wished I knew before purchasing this item:
1. There are no googleplay and amazon app store is unbelievably limited to mostly supper usless apps
2. There are ads on lock screen which amazon says alows them to make this subsidised.  $100 is subsidized? You have to pay $15 to remove it.
3. 16gb in reality is 10gb on this device. I am aware that no device out there comes exact amonth of memory because of the device it self but pushing your own apps (and there are +10 of them) without allowing ppl to remove them not only is supper annoying it takes a lot of space too.
4. These forced apps do consum lot of battery
5. It really takes forever for this device to charge.  almost 9 hrs for full charge with original charger
6. It does say HD but the picture quality is not that good
7. You can not have any other browser beside the one amazon forces you to use and since there are no googleplay store then its basically take it or leave situation

Read the details before you buy this. There are only 2 pets in this kit, not 4. It's rather expensive considering.
