Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop




Kids will “bee” happy as they try to dodge the dizzy bee with a hop, skip or a jump. The motorized beehive spins the whimsical bee to the familiar song “Flight of the Bumblebee” and silly sounds, encouraging kids to get active as they play this creative game of keep-away. Kids can flee the bee – or chase after him. The 26″ motorized arm spins at two different speeds to help kids develop coordination as they hop, skip and jump their way through this game of laugh-out-loud play. And while kids are focused on having fun, they’ll also get to practice taking turns with their playmates. Includes beehive, two connector rods, honeybee and instructions. Requires 3 “C” batteries, not included.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars HoneyBee Hop quit working
HoneyBee Hop worked fine for a while on carpet and hard floors, BUT then the plastic arm and bee would not rotate anymore. I tried new batteries but no change. I then took it apart. The rubber drive belt connected to the motor apparently expanded and loosened and would no longer make the bee move. A pity because it looked well engineered with its’ circuit board and gears and whatever. The weak link was the rubber drive belt.

2 Stars Broke after just a few uses
I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 1/2 who just loved this toy until it broker after just a few uses. The rod no longer spins around but it plays the music like nothing is wrong. Such a shame that it broke so soon because my kids really liked it and we getting some good exercise while working on their concentration skills. My youngest child would just giggle and squeal with delight while waiting for it to spin back around to her. She never got the hang of jumping over it but that’s okay because she loved it when it ran into her. My older child was great at it. Too bad it was not more durable.

4 Stars loud, but fun
My three year-old daughter loves running around after the bee and catching it. It seems to be pretty durable and easy to move. The only cons are it doesn’t run on carpet. Plus, the music is loud and doesn’t come with an on/off button.

2 Stars Great toy but wore out quickly
I would have given this a better rating if it weren’t for the fact it broke down at remarkable speed. At first it would run on any surface. Then only on tile. Now not at all.

Hasbro comes out with really good ideas on toys but the quality is so poor the toys don’t last (or like our sit and spin isn’t put together right from the start).

4 Stars HoneyBee Hop by Hasbro
We bought Honey Bee Hop by Hasbro for a three year old. She loves the music and laughs trying to hop over the wand. Grownups have to hop with her, and that makes it even more funfor everyone. It is a good activity toy for young children.

Transformers Movie 2 Voyager The Fallen No comments yet

Transformers Movie 2 Voyager The Fallen




For Millennia, he has waited. Thousands of years have dragged by as he recruited proxies, one by one, to scour the cosmos for the artifact he required. Now he finds he must return to the primitive, flesh-slug infected planet on which is quest began. Nothing will stand in his way this time. If need be, he will scour the surface of the disgusting world clean in the fire of his rage, and search through the blasted rubble for that which he seeks.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Neat looking
The big bad villain the Fallen. He has a nice or should I say interesting bot mode. The “jet” mode is pushing it very obvious they created the bot first and just thought they could convert him into something that looks vehicle-ish.

He’s limited as far as posing goes. He can only move his head in and out for this “energy panels” He has no ball joints for wrists so again it can only go up and down. Legs and arms have free movement though.

He’s pretty sturdy though his leg did pop off once, but I popped it back in and had no problems ever since.

His feet are kind of annoying if you move him too much. Other wise I like the fact that they just plop into place if you set him onto a hard smooth surface.

Overall he’s awesome looking overall though limited in certain aspects but definitely worth the [...]. Would recommend.

5 Stars Really Cool!
This is one version, of two, of The Fallen in toy form (the other form being approximately a 4 inch tall figure), and this figure is really neat! The Voyager series is quite possibly the best version of the Transformer figures we get with this particular movie. The figures run at about $23 depending on where you buy them.

I also bought the Optimus and Megatron figures of the Voyager editions and, this also goes with The Fallen, the figures all feel cheap. The plastic is extremely lightweight and it’s tough to keep the figures from staying in their vehicle modes (Optimus) without the aid of a rubber band. As much as I love these figures I will say right now that the Transformers toys from the 80s were of better quality than these. These feel like toddler toys that will break apart at any second when you handle them.

That’s the only downside to all of these figures. Otherwise, these figures are still worth the $23 as they are very well detailed and are a nicer alternative to purchasing some of the more expensive models of the toys. Although, with The Fallen, this is the top of the line. This figure is articulated in many areas and the feet are closed together by springs so it would be easier to transform it into The Fallen’s vehicle form. To get the feet flat you simply have to set the figure up on a flat surface. But the spring-loaded feet make the figure look even cooler if you set it up on the edges of boxes where one or two toes are flat while the other toes are grappling the edges of the boxes.

The “solar panels” on either side of The Fallen’s head can be folded to the back of his head to give a more authentic look to the figure. The transformation of the figure isn’t all that easy so you’ll want to keep the instructions that come with it.

Overall, the figure is exceptional and highly recommended for any collector or fan of the Transformers toys! The appendages look great as well as the paint job!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars 1:19 record; it’s SUPPOSED to come apart so you can put it back together
I hesitated to buy any Rubik’s cubes because on all the reviews people said the cubes fell apart. My 10 year old son says they are SUPPOSED to come apart, because taking them apart and putting them back together is half the fun of it. My son spends all day long taking the pieces out and then putting the cube back together. The other fun part is timing my son to see if he can beat his record. He has studied all the algorithms on the internet and has become an expert. He tells one of the family members to mix up the cube, then we time him. When it takes him longer to put it back to the original formation, I tell him that whoever mixed it up is a good “mixer-upper.”

This toy is great fun and occupies my ADHD kid for hours and hours and hours. I am very pleased to see him finding out for himself on [..]how to solve the puzzle.

This is kid-tested. If my hyper son is excited about this and it keeps him productively occupied, then this toy is WORTH IT.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

5 Stars Fun Rubik’s Cube!
My son and I enjoy this toy. He knows it better than myself. I highly recommend it.

5 Stars Exactly as expected
This product arrived exactly as expected: complete and new-in-package. It arrived in a timely fashion and provides hours of entertainment. The solution guide in the box was not very helpful but you can download very good ones from the interweb. The cube arrived in the solved configuration which allowed me to experiment with it before I randomized it for the real challenge. Lots of fun; a great little puzzle.

5 Stars amazing quality!
This rubik’s cube is pretty durable..it really makes your brain think, figuring out algorithms is pretty hard.

It is what you expect, works great, and is original.

Only downside is that the cube uses stickers for the colors.

The stickers seems to be pretty durable, it hasn’t peeled or anything yet.

Pretty good.

Cheaper priced than the winning moves brand one, hasbro/milton bradley is pretty well know brand compared to winning moves which is unknown brand.

5 Stars the coolest
Rubik’s Cubes are the coolest. This one lasts longer than the cheap ones that aren’t Rubik’s brand.

Transformers Movie 2 Voyager Optimus Prime




From the moment OPTIMUS PRIME took Earth as a new home for himself and his people, he was rededicated to its protection. Since that day, he has focused all of his considerable will and power on rooting out the last few DECEPTICONS® and destroying them. To that end, he has upgraded and refined his sensor suite, and trained with IRONHIDE® in tracking the evil robots.

Prepare to do battle
