Star Wars Clone Wars AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) Vehicle

"Approaching Droid perimeter!", 2008-08-04
Hasbro release their first vehicle from the new Clone Wars movie with the very impressive All Terrain Tactical Enforcer - the AT-TE. Although these were seen in Attack Of The Clones it's taken 6 years for this amazing combat walker to finally be released.
The AT-TE is massive, loaded with play features as well as electronic lights and sounds. The electronics require 3 AA batteries but it is still impressive without the effects as a model in its own right. The battery compartment is in the underside with a screw in plate.
Standing a massive 27 inches long (from upper mortar tip to aft cannon tip), 16.5 inches wide (across central feet) and 12.5 inches high, the AT-TE is an imposing addition to any Republic Army.
The front cockpit canopy opens upwards and there is room for one figure - a Clone Trooper with red insignia on his shoulders is included. The cannons on either side of the cockpit move in unison but can be set at any position and each fires a missile by pressing the button on the top of each gun. The large upper mortar cannon has a firing missile and with a press of the switch on the back parts of the gun light up and there are sounds for the cannon firing.
The sides to the front body open on either side to allow access to the four seats which are tucked away in a row inside, each one with its own computer display.
With a press of the button on the top of the back (with accompanying deployment sound effects and a Clone saying "Move out! Let's go!") the aft body opens right out to allow access to the troop compartment. The sides and roof deploy themselves and the roof goes right back down to ground level with steps on the inside so the troops can deploy quickly.
There is room for up to 14 Clone Troopers inside and there are storage racks for their DC-15Bs and a couple of compartments for electro-grenades. Twelve stand in the crew racks and two man the aft guns. Like the forward guns, these can be set in almost any position and each has a firing missile.
The six legs on the AT-TE are all poseable and allow for maximum range of movement, vehicle permitting, for playability. For kids, there are wheels that can be put in the bottom of each foot so they can simply roll it across the floor.
Apart from the lights on the upper mortar cannon there are three buttons in the middle at the top which have a variety of sound effects.
The left button has walking sound effects.
The middle button (which cycles through the following) has a Clone Trooper saying: "All forward positions are advancing.", "Approaching droid perimeter, we are undetected.", "All units fire at will!", "All units attack!" and "The Droid Army is in full retreat."
The right button (when pressed quickly) has blaster cannon sound effects. The right button (when pressed for a bit longer) has a Clone Trooper saying "All units fire at will!" followed by rapid fire blaster sounds.
There are nine decals to apply and away you go. The AT-TE is great without the sounds but kids will get a big kick out of all the effects.
An absolute must have for any Republic Army or any discerning Star Wars collection!

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter

Simply amazing!, 2008-10-12
The picooz is the most fun i've had in ages. I bought it knowing it was good and it is. Its great value for money and when they say its durable they mean it. It only takes a few flights to learn what your doing. However read the instrutions and make sure to trim. If youre going to buy it for a kid make sure there mature enough. The design is great it has a built in LED (light) so you can have night flights. If yout going to fly it outdoors make sure there is no wind or direct sun. A brilliant buy reccomended!!!

Silverlit PicooZ Insecta Helicopter

Nice little flier, and great value, 2008-06-28
Got this because my PicooZ had long since died, and even though I've graduate since to a 4-channel co-axial, I missed the little guy. So, got this as a replacement, as I fancied something a little different looking.

As noted by another reviewer, you get no choice in which of the three infrared channels you will receive, which could cause problems if you want to use more than one at a time (is anyone at Amazon listening? Could we have a choice of the A,B or C versions, please?).

It flies great, better than my old PicooZ, but whether this is due to a better design, or simply that my original one got a bit mangled as I learnt, I have no idea: Maybe I had better buy a heli-style one as well, just for comparison purposes, of course (ahem!).

Comes with a spare tail rotor, which is very useful, and small weights, which can be applied to the nose, to increase forward speed (with 2-channel, there is no forward-reverse; only up-down and left-right spin).

Given how cheap these have now become, get one to play with if you've not bothered up until now: They will fly in a very small space, and will not damage anything you may hit. Outside is a no-no though, even a small breeze from an open window will put them off-course.

Original Rubik's Cube

The classic mathematical puzzle of this planet., 2008-11-28
Rubik's Cube came out around 1980, about 30 years ago.

People were far more intelligent back then.

There is very little point anyone today bothering with a Rubik's Cube. Just forget it and get back to reality TV and txtng each other.

For people over 40: The physical mechanism of these 2000 era cubes is probably not as good as the old ones: at any rate, they are a little different. Obviously the platonic cube is unchanged.

There are now various idiotic cubes with flashing lights, etc - suitable for Today's People.

brilliantly stupid, 2008-11-16
What a silly piece of gadgetry this is! Its infuriatingly life-wasting appeal is endless. Every 100 pops or so, the thing emits a random sound like a doorbell or a dog barking. You never know what it's going to be which makes this addictive stress-buster even more addictive. I can't believe I was dumb enough to let this thing into my life...

this is a winner, 2007-12-07

I was a little sceptical about how much fun this would be and whether these coptors really fly. No worries. They are amazing and even my wife's raised eyebrows quickly turned to a smile. My 2 girls think they are 'cool' Even the 8 year old could fly one within a few minutes.

The flying time is as short it suggests but still enough time to enjoy it. It says don't use rechargeable batteries but I seem to remember another website saying that you can safely ignore these warnings.

It will be interesting to see how durable these coptors are - you get spare rear blades. I haven't had long enough to know.

If you aren't convinced whether this is worth the money check out the video that is on manufacturer's website.

Could be the toy of the year

Big Boys Toy, 2008-08-26
I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and have had great fun watching him trying to master the art of flying!! We've both been amazed at how the helicopter has stood up to the number of crash landings and bouncing off walls and ceilings. Now he's getting the hang of flying it's been quite interesting to see how the helicopter works and responds to the controls, such as hovering for instance.
Highly recommended; in fact, it looks like his work mates are starting to drop hints to partners ready for Christmas.....

It is nice!, 2008-09-25
Firstly, I cannot believe people have taken the time out to write reviews for the mankini, but as I stumbled across the page and happen to own one, I thought I'd add my own thoughts. There is not much else I can add to these fellows' comments, really!
