Disappointed, not worth $40

Very disappointed in this product, not only is it very light and feels fragile, it like a dark gold color not reg gold. And to top it off 1 out of the 2 necklace I ordered appeared used, as it came with out a tag, box not taped and the necklace was all mingled in a knot as the picture shows. Don't get me wrong $40 not
Going to get you good quality however you do better going to Walmart and buying a $20 one out the case they are about the same in quality if not better.

I was really disappointed by how it was packed and by the actual item itself.  As another reviewer noted, this was not packed well.  The item arrived with only one square of "air pack" that was totally busted so there was no cushion at all for the product inside the box.  I am not sure if this contributed to the broken items inside the bag of dinosaurs.  As another reviewer experienced, I also had quite a few dinosaurs that were damaged with large cracks in the tail and body.  In addition, this set came with almost more trees than dinosaurs and many of the dinosaurs were duplicates (i.e. doubles and triples of the same dinosaurs).  There were a lot of very small dinosaurs and only 6 "massive" dinosaurs.  I don't think "massive" is an accurate description, but at least they were big enough to hold.  Too bad most of them were cracked.  I ordered this for my 1 1/2 year old for Christmas and he was really excited to play with it, but since the small dinosaurs were so small, I had to take those and the cavemen away since they were choking hazards for him.  For nearly $40, I was really disappointed with the quality of the dinosaurs and the trees and cavemen.  I felt like I paid a lot for a big bag of cheap plastic pieces most of which arrived broken.  The dinosaurs are hollow, so if anyone steps on one by accident, it will break easily (2 of them have met this fate within the first week of owning this).  If this item were $10-15 dollars, then I wouldn't have been so disappointed.  I would consider buying a different dinosaur pack that had better quality dinosaurs (i.e. not hollow, cheap plastic that cracks).  Hopefully the seller will do a better job of packing this item for anyone that decides to purchase this.  It is possible that the poor packing job also contributed to the items inside being broken.  The concept was nice, but the execution was not.  Save your money for a higher quality dinosaur set.  This one was way overpriced for what it was.  The pics are much more impressive than what you actually receive.

Was excited after reading the other reviews.  Disappointed in this dollar store looking item I received. Wish I could find something good to say about it, but I can't lie that badly.

I was waiting to see what the price-point was before I wrote a review and after seeing it is $20 (about what I was guessing), I still think it's not worth it.  For portable speakers, I have a JBL battery operated and the iPanda, $45 and $80 respectively.

Pros:
-price, it's 20 bucks...but still wonder if there's better choices out there
-can be powered by USB
-mini-jack fits inside the battery compartment for storage

Cons:
-mini-jack cord is annoyingly short, like 5 inches.  Whatever it's plugged into, it's going to be touching.
-sound is lackluster, bass is completely non-existant
-heavy with 4 AAs for a prortable device, who cares if runs twice as long, either make it light or sound great
-mini-jack takes forever to get inside the groove.  Would be much better to have a hook at each corner.
-not very stable, you sit it down, it rolls over then you have to sit it up every time
-did I mention the sound is horrible?

My JBL is smaller, lighter, looks better and sounds 4x better as well as being 4-5 years old...

The only use I can think for this is if multiple people are viewing voice based videos on a tablet or such, for music it's useless or rather, painful to listen to.  It should be called Emerson...not A-basics.

I generally love Amazon Basics but I guess it's good for things that are discrete, meaning it either works or not, there's no quality issue (like digital cables).

This bag is such a disappointment - it looks way better in the pictures! The patterns aren't as discernable in person. There's no way this bag was worth $40, even $20 is seriously pushing it - it's on par with what you find at your big red dot chain store :/

I was disappointed. I didn't find this item to be worth the price I paid. Found a much cheaper and nicer one at Target. Will be returning this item.

Was very psyched to get this. Not thrilled at how I paid 96  bucks for this about 10 days ago, and literally the day after I bought it the price went down considerably. It's just 80 bucks New now. I feel like I threw 16 bucks away. Aside from that nonsense, my issue is the sound. It's muffed, bass-y,, like you are in a tunnel. I have the treble at maximum, bass way down, it still sounds off, the sound is not as good as the smaller cheaper p742 radio. Another reviewer said they had the same problem with the sound. It makes no sense to me that this brand new radio, even when I adjust the bass and treble at different settings, does not sound right to me

I bought this case because I wanted a slim, zippered case that looked like a book for my iPad. Is it? Yes, but it's also not worth the $80 I spent. For some reason, the leather inner slipcase/sleeve for the iPad has way too much material, causing too much bulk. Puzzlingly, the case itself seems to be just thick enough to incorporate the iPad alone without any of the extra stuff already in it, like the leather inner sleeve or the snaps used to secure it, etc. They made the entire case! How could they make it too thin for what's inside it? A main problem is that the zipper is too narrow to comfortably zip the case up without feeling like you're going to break it. The first few times I zipped it closed, the zipper actually opened up a gap BEHIND the zipper! I have to zip the case closed very slowly and carefully to make sure it will close properly and not gap open again, which frankly is persnickety and ridiculous for a case that cost 80 dollars. It should be magical and cure headaches for that prize. When the case is completely zippered closed, it feels like it's bulging. I'm also not fond of the distressing, which is supposed to make the case look like an old, well-loved book and instead makes it look like the case was rubbed over with steel wool haphazardly. I say just let it age/wear naturally. I asked Amazon for and got a replacement case, thinking it just might be my particular case's fault, but the case they sent me was just as bad, so I sent it back and kept my original one because that one and its zipper at least were getting used to having an iPad inside them. Maybe it'll stretch out or something. There isn't any other iPad case that I like better (I haven't really tried any other, to be honest) but I'm pretty disappointed at the quality of this one. I'd get something else if I were you. You have to be able to find better cases for this kind of money.

Very thin material and kind of small for a beach towel. Disappointed, not worth what it cost.

So pissed I spent 40$ on this game.  Online play is so boring and mono toned me and my buddy were literally falling asleep after 30 minutes.  No crowd or atmosphere in multiplayer complete hallow experience.

Game is worth 10$

I am VERY disappointed in this item. I ordered 3 sets (6 total) and one arrived cracked. But even if one had not broken, I'd be writing this one-star review because the quality of these items, given the price, is far below what I expected. I own some similar containers that I bought from Target several years ago. I think I paid $3 for two of them and we use them all the time. For the price, I expected that these would be at least as good as those, but I was wrong.

The plastic is very thin and they just look and feel cheap. Unfortunately I can't return them at this late hour before Christmas because they were going to be part of movie-themed gift basket I was creating for two families. Fortunately, they're not the focus of basket and just an add-on, but I'd hoped they'd be functional, not just decoratively themed. I would not purchase these again for any reason. BTW--I also purchased two of the large matching popcorn bowls for the gifts and am just as disappointed. Skip these and go to Target or a dollar store and you'll save the money and get something better.

UPDATE: I returned these for a refund after all. The day after I wrote this review I was at Target to get something else and there were the popcorn cups right in the front rows of stuff at the door. Two for $2.50. Better quality and way way cheaper, and the perfect addition to a movie-themed gift.

For $250 ($270 with taxes) for me this is garbage. And I'm being completely honest here. Bought this on Best Buy yesterday (didn't have a chance to test, there was no demo piece available), but I'm going to return it right away today. It has no bass whatsoever, I had the Bose soundlink mini 2, and I think its bass kicked heavier, and it was almost 1/3 of the size, and costs $100 less. The beats pill+ bass also kicks heavier, had it too, and it also costs less. The bass here is extremely shallow and artificial. It's very very stiff, stay encased inside the box, doesn't flow almost at all. It only gets a little, but only a little better if you crank the volume considerably up. But at lower volumes, for $270, this is a piece of crap. Really very disappointed on this, expected more from UE, that's why I bought it blindly. If this cost $90 I would say it could be worth the price, but for almost $300? There's just no way.

So disappointed.  Not worth the money.  I would have returned it, but I was so excited when I got it that I wrote in it.  This is outrageously priced for basic info that can be found on the internet at no cost!!!

I purchased this on one of the recent lightning deals and after using for about 3 days, I decided to return it.  There are several issues with the device that cause me to feel like it is not worth the cost.

First, the device does not have optical inputs, just coax and analog stereo RCA.  Though I don't need optical with my television at the moment, it is likely I will acquire additional equipment in the future that may need this input, and may products in this price range include this input.

Second, it is very picky on the format of the digital audio.  I found that I constantly have to change inputs from digital to analog on the device as I change inputs to my TV.  When my TV is displaying input from AT&T U-verse, everything sounds great.  However as soon as I switch to digital broadcast TV or Xbox 360, the device emits a VERY LOUD buzzing sound because it does not know how to decode the audio.  This is unacceptable.

Third, the audio is not very good.  I had the choice of putting the device in "News" mode which sounded identical to the speakers already in my TV, negating the purpose of the sound bar, or I could put it in one of the "Music, Games, or Movie" modes, which had way too much echo or reverb and sounded very artificial and tinny.

Fourth, no subwoofer.  The audio has no depth, no bass.  The TV speakers had more depth than the sound bar did.

Add about $20/30 to your budget, pass on this one, and get a little more expensive device with some of these other features I have described.  You will be glad you did.

Please feel free to comment on this review with any questions about the device and I will be happy to edit the review to answer them.

My 10 year old requested this for Christmas.  It's cute for a desk doodad but that's about it.  Definitely not worth $30, maybe $5.99 as a souvenir if you visited at the space needle. Took her 5 minutes to put it together and that will probably be the last time it gets touched,  Highly disappointed.

Extremely disappointed.  VERY small. Not worth the $16. dollars at all.
