Customer Review: The best of the 4 ENERGON DVD’s
This was my first look at TRANSFORMERS DVDs but it was a must since our son is into the toys. We were pleasantly surprised by this colorful, fun DVD. I think the computer-generated additions to the animation looks cool. The toys look just like the characters too!!! You can tell this is a commercial for the toys but we don’t mind. But if the target audience is boys around 5-7 (the toys are for 5+), why do the characters call each other “loser!” all the time? In the “Return of Megatron” DVD Kicker says sarcastically “That really bites!” This gets repeated on the playground or worse yet to adults. The writers should use better judgement. But then again does anything on CARTOON NETWORK escercise good judgement for kid-viewing. Not from what I’ve seen. The only drawback on the “Shockblast” DVD is the annoying character, Kicker, who has calmed down a bit and is given a bit less screen time in this DVD.

Customer Review: WEBKINZ ROCK!
My husband’s family is big and I had no idea what to give to the little ones. Fortunately I bumped against the webkinz at Amazon’s website and luckyly I had the curiosity to check it out. I read several reviews (Kid’s reviews are a lot of fun to read.) After several reviews I knew what they where all about and decided they could make a good Christmas gift. Got the tiger, the lion, the pig, the elephant and the googles. They all are very cute. Usually kids have more than one webkinz, so I figured that in a way or another my gift was going to be welcome anyway. Webkinz where such a success! I was able to give all the 5 grandnephews the same type of gift (didn’t want to provoke jealousy… among them) Webkinz is recomended for children from 3 to 12 years old. Therefore it covered pretty much all my ground. It’s nice to know Webkinz are ALWAYS welcome!!!

Customer Review: It just keeps running & running….
I was not in favor of buying our first one but I WAS WRONG! It has been a great battery. My grandkids have worn out one, about 4 years worth. And we have bought a second one. The battery has served very well for 4 years before needing replacement, longer than my car’s battery!

Building Robots With Lego Mindstorms : The Ultimate Tool for Mindstorms Maniacs The LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System (RIS) has been called “the most creative play system ever developed.” This book unleashes the full power and potential of the tools, bricks, and components that make up LEGO Mindstorms. Some of the world’s leading LEGO Mindstorms inventors share their knowledge and development secrets. You will discover an incredible range of ideas to inspire your next invention. This is the ultimate insider’s look at LEGO Mindstorms and is the perfect book whether you build world-class competitive robots or just like to mess around for the fun of it.
Customer Review: Good book but not NXT
I bought this book to get a better understanding of the Mindstorm NXT system. While this book is very interesting, it does not cover NXT — so the descriptions of the programming, the sensors, even the basic lego pieces do not match what you’d get in a NXT package.
Customer Review: Very good book about a very cool system.
MindStorms is an absolutely fascinating robot building system for children, adults, and those who don’t fit well into either category. This book helps you delve more deeply into the principles behind making really cool robots with MindStorms. The opportunities for learning are just never-ending, and at the same time, the limitless fun anyone can have, from pre-teen to geezer, makes the learning very rewarding. This book helps open this potential.
