Just a jigsaw, 01 Nov 2008
I got this as a stocking filler for my 6 year old and it was quite a difficult puzzle to put together.

First of all we couldnt get in the box without ripping all the paper and secondly the pieces are quite flimsy.

It took us a while to finish but we got there!

Disappointing picture..., 22 Oct 2008
Quite disappointed that the picture was really not that great; not even of one of the more 'popular' aliens. I would never have bought this jigsaw from a shelf but I suppose that's what you get from buying blind. I now have to search the shops for a 'Ben 10' jigsaw, as opposed to a 'little-known alien' jigsaw. I just wish the advice of the product supplied being a different design would be made more clear as I only noticed this after I had ordered; or at least put on images of the alternative designs.

A great deal for a few pounds, 29 Sep 2008
I really don't know what the problem is with some people that can't handle anything a little different that what they are used to. The puzzle can be opened without any trouble, you just had to rip the bottom edges carefully and that's it.
It's a great puzzle, mi 5 year's old had lots of fun with it, I totally recommend this product (the one with the pictures of the monsters too).



Great for rainy days., 17 Aug 2008
My son is 5 and although he finds the jigsaw challenging he loves every second he spends doing it plus it is one of his favourite things in the world at the moment. I think this item is well worth the money.

Don't be deceived by looks, 03 Aug 2008
I brought this puzzle for my son, but its simply the worst puzzle ever developed and that is due to its one mail flaw, you have to rip open the box to make it. It is not packaged like a traditional puzzle it is fully seladed and cannot be opened other than ripping it all apart. Even at this cheap price it is a waste of money, the puzzle I got was one of the monsters as well and the picture was rubbish. Don't waste your cash.

Good toy, lasts all of a day..., 23 Oct 2008
I bought a Rubik's cube from a seller on Amazon. I was disappointed to see it wasn't an original Rubik's Cube, but a cheap rip-off.

Despite this, the cube seemed to move nicely, there weren't stickers but coloured pieces of plastic, so the trouble of the stickers peeling off was non-existent.

However, after about a week of solving it again, again and again, one of the centre pieces fell out. It just... fell out.

So I proceeded to pop it back in again, which it did with a satisfying 'click'.

Later that day I realised the piece was started to become loose. It fell out again. On my second time of replacing it, it shattered.

Now I have a cube with a piece missing.

Great.

The Rubik's cube are not as good as the 80's models, 31 Aug 2008
I first got a Rubik's cube when they came out in the early 80's and absolutely loved it. I used the first one so much that I had to buy a replacement within a couple of years. The action for these cubes was fantastic. 'Clicky' 'tight' but so easy and smooth to turn. Even though I could eventually solve the puzzle in a couple of minutes, I've never tired of it.

I was really pleased when they started to produce the cube again and was keen to buy a new one. I bought a new cube and was dismayed to find that the action and build quality was terrible. I actually dug out my remaining original cube to try and see what the difference could be and saw that the original design had little areas where the inner surfaces had open pockets or gaps. I think this was what helped to reduce the drag when turning the faces.

I ended up exchanging several e-mails with the main 'Rubik's Cube' website and after trying to say that their product was as good as the original, they eventually admitted that their new cube was different. They said that they had stopped leaving these little gaps/pockets due to the risk of small children sticking their fingers in and thereafter being hurt. I personally think that this is utter nonsense.

Anyway, I ended up checking out cubes on ebay and managed to get an original 80's cube in mint condition for under ten pounds. When it arrived, it really was like being introduced to an old friend. 'Tight' 'Clicky' but smooth as silk. A total contrast to the terrible ones that are being sold as the official cube.

I've actually just ordered another 'Rubik's Cube' from another site which says that they get their cubes from a factory in Hungary which is still under the control of the inventor Mr. Erno Rubik. I am very hopeful that it will be as good as his original cube was.

good fun but the rubik's cube was slimy, 22 Aug 2008
i found the rubik's cube a little slimy i had to wash my hands after i play with it plus the cubes are hard to move you got to line them im or it won't move and its only goes one way it can go the other way but its much stiffer the packages was a bit crp coz it came in a little plastic bag im not sure mabe it was just my one.

Great puzzle - low on durability, 23 Jul 2008
I bought this recently to take on holiday........it gave me a challenge for a week and something to do on the beach whilst soaking up the sun. I owned one in the 80's but was never able to do it, so thought now I'm a bit older I'll give it another go......and am now pleased to say after a weeks practice, driving my girlfriend mad and memorising certain moves and following the solve guide that comes with it........I can now complete it in under 2 minutes. It is a great challenge, incredibly addictive and a cool party trick.....dumbfounding people with a seemingly impossible task to solve.
There is a mention on here from one reviewer that the last step in the solution booklet doesnt work. I thought this at first, but it does work....its just not explained very well. So tip: Once you have all the all the last layer corners in the right place but not flipped, pick a face to be your front face....I always choose red. Hold the front face facing you and now JUST TURN THE TOP LAYER and get the piece that needs to be flipped in the top right hand corner. Execute the move R(anticlockwise) D (anticlockwise) R (clockwise) D (clockwise). Make sure when you turn your D face you turn it the correct way.....imagine you are looking directly at D face you are turning. (It is easy to turn it clockwise, not anticlockwise if you are not looking at it directly.) After executing this move 2 or 4 times the corner that needed to be flipped will be completed. What it DOESNT explain in the booklet is that once you have flipped one corner IT WONT GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STATE YOU STARTED WITH........it still looks all messed up.......don't worry about it. keep going. Still holding your chosen front face facing you, turn the top layer again so the next corner piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner. Execute the move again. Keep turning the top layer, so the piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner, and execute the alogorithm. On the last corner piece.......as if by magic...all the colours line up and just twist the individual layers and you've done it! Hope this helps......
The downside of this cube is, and much the same as the other reviews....after much twisting and turning the stickers start to peel away from the edges. A great gadget that is hard to put down, its just a shame they dont make it more durable.

Just as I remember, 30 Jun 2008
I had one of the original cubes as a child and loved it. It is probably up in the loft somewhere but I wanted a new one anyway. This is exactly the same high quality I remember. It was lovely and fluid straight out of the box. I love it just as much now as I did then, now Im a bit smarter so can complete it too LOL. I have no hesitation in recommending this cube, it really is the best one you can buy.

More than 2000 years ago... No, it's not a mistake, more than 2000 years ago the boys and girls of ancient Greece and Rome played a game using bones - throwing and bouncing them in village squares and in their own homes. We know this because some ancient paintings on marble were discovered in a city called Resina which date back more than 2000 years, showing kids playing this game. This ancient pastime known as "tabas" has been kept alive throughout the centuries and if you ask your parents or grandparents we are sure they will tell you about games that they played with sticks or pebbles. The GoGo's Crazy Bones Album is packed full of information about all the GoGo's games and characters. There is space for all the GoGo's stickers and it contains 32 pages introducing all of the characters, their special skills and their favourite games. It is the essential companion to a GoGo's Crazy Bones collection!

These crazes that go round schools baffle me!

My 5-year old son was given a bag of these at a party and now all the boys in his class have harmless fights with them. I really couldn't see the attraction in this craze, but then I'm not 5.

At that age, children will collect anything, so the manufacturer makes a fortune at £1 per bag for a few plastic figures sold to millions of children, backed up by some marketing and then retires to the Bahamas ...

You could beat the manufacturers at their own game and start your own craze free. Try collecting shells, shiny stones, pictures from magazines, (even stamp collecting was free in the days when people wrote letters, just tear them off envelopes)

We're Go-Going Crazy..., 02 Nov 2008
...in our house because for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.

The album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound and has fun statistics and names for all of the Go Gos. A nice touch are the various games with simple rules. Why the five stars for educational value? Well, my son looks at this album all the time and can now easily recognise the numbers from 1-80. He also happily copies out the characters' names so improving his writing skills.

Go Gos are great - the only downside is they get everywhere in our house. From personal experience it's not nice to tread on one with bare feet!!

Go Go Crazy Bones are cool, 17 Oct 2008
I started liking Go Go crazy Bones a few days ago when my friend brought in his Collection of 81 Crazy Bones he gave me this little piggy one which i call BlueBerry.I recommend this Product for anyone who isn't 3 years old or under.

gogo by , 30 Sep 2008
I am 10 years old and I love gogo crazy bones I started to like them when my classmate showed me them i have now got six and my 11 year old brother has got six I am hoping to collect them all.




by neeky surian bailey

Pretty Good, 30 Sep 2008
Although I am generally against these crazies that go around schools this one is one of the better ones. My son thinks the album is brilliant as it contains instructions on how to play different games, details of each gogo, including name and what they are best at. Definately a good addition to the toys themselves.

This Hamleys Awards nominated anagram game needs no pencil, paper or bulky board. Everyone 'peels' letters from the central 'bunch' rearranging their own individual crossword as much as desired and swapping difficult to use letters!

Simple simultaneous play allows each player to create words to their own ability. Great family fun and educational too! Perfect for building vocabulary and spelling skills.

Play at home, in restaurants and perfect after dinner entertainment! Great for travel! Play anytime, anywhere! Once you start, you can't stop!

For 2 to 8 players, suitable from 7 years.

Bananagram by candle light., 29 Sep 2008
I bought this on the strength of its reviews to take on holiday. My husband, who hates playing games, felt compelled to offer our daughter assistance when she played with me and was hooked. All 4 of us played many times during the holiday and it saved the day when we had a power cut. You can't read by candle light but you can still play Bananagram!

The best fun we have had in years. Simple instructions. Great family game. Words can be as long or as short as you want. Children enjoy playing. We played in three teams of two as a variation of the game and it worked well.

Great game! , 13 Apr 2008
This game is so addictive! Great for all the family- I started making words with 3 letters, now I can get up to 5 or 6 :)


Great game - but you could just use your scrabble tiles, 04 Apr 2008
This game is so simple to play that our family picked it up within minutes. Much more enjoyable than scrabble when more than 2 people are playing, because everyone is involved all the time. However, it really is just scrabble tiles with no board and different rules.

Practise your swing, but careful not to get eaten! In this crazy, fun Gator Golf game, youll be giggling every time you play. Putt the golf ball in the gator's mouth and he'll use his tail to toss it back to you. Gator Golf is a colourful and cool golfing partner that children will love to play with. Comes with 2 balls and side storage for the clubs.

Just a jigsaw, 01 Nov 2008
I got this as a stocking filler for my 6 year old and it was quite a difficult puzzle to put together.

First of all we couldnt get in the box without ripping all the paper and secondly the pieces are quite flimsy.

It took us a while to finish but we got there!

Disappointing picture..., 22 Oct 2008
Quite disappointed that the picture was really not that great; not even of one of the more 'popular' aliens. I would never have bought this jigsaw from a shelf but I suppose that's what you get from buying blind. I now have to search the shops for a 'Ben 10' jigsaw, as opposed to a 'little-known alien' jigsaw. I just wish the advice of the product supplied being a different design would be made more clear as I only noticed this after I had ordered; or at least put on images of the alternative designs.

A great deal for a few pounds, 29 Sep 2008
I really don't know what the problem is with some people that can't handle anything a little different that what they are used to. The puzzle can be opened without any trouble, you just had to rip the bottom edges carefully and that's it.
It's a great puzzle, mi 5 year's old had lots of fun with it, I totally recommend this product (the one with the pictures of the monsters too).



Great for rainy days., 17 Aug 2008
My son is 5 and although he finds the jigsaw challenging he loves every second he spends doing it plus it is one of his favourite things in the world at the moment. I think this item is well worth the money.

Don't be deceived by looks, 03 Aug 2008
I brought this puzzle for my son, but its simply the worst puzzle ever developed and that is due to its one mail flaw, you have to rip open the box to make it. It is not packaged like a traditional puzzle it is fully seladed and cannot be opened other than ripping it all apart. Even at this cheap price it is a waste of money, the puzzle I got was one of the monsters as well and the picture was rubbish. Don't waste your cash.

Good toy, lasts all of a day..., 23 Oct 2008
I bought a Rubik's cube from a seller on Amazon. I was disappointed to see it wasn't an original Rubik's Cube, but a cheap rip-off.

Despite this, the cube seemed to move nicely, there weren't stickers but coloured pieces of plastic, so the trouble of the stickers peeling off was non-existent.

However, after about a week of solving it again, again and again, one of the centre pieces fell out. It just... fell out.

So I proceeded to pop it back in again, which it did with a satisfying 'click'.

Later that day I realised the piece was started to become loose. It fell out again. On my second time of replacing it, it shattered.

Now I have a cube with a piece missing.

Great.

The Rubik's cube are not as good as the 80's models, 31 Aug 2008
I first got a Rubik's cube when they came out in the early 80's and absolutely loved it. I used the first one so much that I had to buy a replacement within a couple of years. The action for these cubes was fantastic. 'Clicky' 'tight' but so easy and smooth to turn. Even though I could eventually solve the puzzle in a couple of minutes, I've never tired of it.

I was really pleased when they started to produce the cube again and was keen to buy a new one. I bought a new cube and was dismayed to find that the action and build quality was terrible. I actually dug out my remaining original cube to try and see what the difference could be and saw that the original design had little areas where the inner surfaces had open pockets or gaps. I think this was what helped to reduce the drag when turning the faces.

I ended up exchanging several e-mails with the main 'Rubik's Cube' website and after trying to say that their product was as good as the original, they eventually admitted that their new cube was different. They said that they had stopped leaving these little gaps/pockets due to the risk of small children sticking their fingers in and thereafter being hurt. I personally think that this is utter nonsense.

Anyway, I ended up checking out cubes on ebay and managed to get an original 80's cube in mint condition for under ten pounds. When it arrived, it really was like being introduced to an old friend. 'Tight' 'Clicky' but smooth as silk. A total contrast to the terrible ones that are being sold as the official cube.

I've actually just ordered another 'Rubik's Cube' from another site which says that they get their cubes from a factory in Hungary which is still under the control of the inventor Mr. Erno Rubik. I am very hopeful that it will be as good as his original cube was.

good fun but the rubik's cube was slimy, 22 Aug 2008
i found the rubik's cube a little slimy i had to wash my hands after i play with it plus the cubes are hard to move you got to line them im or it won't move and its only goes one way it can go the other way but its much stiffer the packages was a bit crp coz it came in a little plastic bag im not sure mabe it was just my one.

Great puzzle - low on durability, 23 Jul 2008
I bought this recently to take on holiday........it gave me a challenge for a week and something to do on the beach whilst soaking up the sun. I owned one in the 80's but was never able to do it, so thought now I'm a bit older I'll give it another go......and am now pleased to say after a weeks practice, driving my girlfriend mad and memorising certain moves and following the solve guide that comes with it........I can now complete it in under 2 minutes. It is a great challenge, incredibly addictive and a cool party trick.....dumbfounding people with a seemingly impossible task to solve.
There is a mention on here from one reviewer that the last step in the solution booklet doesnt work. I thought this at first, but it does work....its just not explained very well. So tip: Once you have all the all the last layer corners in the right place but not flipped, pick a face to be your front face....I always choose red. Hold the front face facing you and now JUST TURN THE TOP LAYER and get the piece that needs to be flipped in the top right hand corner. Execute the move R(anticlockwise) D (anticlockwise) R (clockwise) D (clockwise). Make sure when you turn your D face you turn it the correct way.....imagine you are looking directly at D face you are turning. (It is easy to turn it clockwise, not anticlockwise if you are not looking at it directly.) After executing this move 2 or 4 times the corner that needed to be flipped will be completed. What it DOESNT explain in the booklet is that once you have flipped one corner IT WONT GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STATE YOU STARTED WITH........it still looks all messed up.......don't worry about it. keep going. Still holding your chosen front face facing you, turn the top layer again so the next corner piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner. Execute the move again. Keep turning the top layer, so the piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner, and execute the alogorithm. On the last corner piece.......as if by magic...all the colours line up and just twist the individual layers and you've done it! Hope this helps......
The downside of this cube is, and much the same as the other reviews....after much twisting and turning the stickers start to peel away from the edges. A great gadget that is hard to put down, its just a shame they dont make it more durable.

Just as I remember, 30 Jun 2008
I had one of the original cubes as a child and loved it. It is probably up in the loft somewhere but I wanted a new one anyway. This is exactly the same high quality I remember. It was lovely and fluid straight out of the box. I love it just as much now as I did then, now Im a bit smarter so can complete it too LOL. I have no hesitation in recommending this cube, it really is the best one you can buy.

I'm lost!, 17 Nov 2008
These crazes that go round schools baffle me!

My 5-year old son was given a bag of these at a party and now all the boys in his class have harmless fights with them. I really couldn't see the attraction in this craze, but then I'm not 5.

At that age, children will collect anything, so the manufacturer makes a fortune at £1 per bag for a few plastic figures sold to millions of children, backed up by some marketing and then retires to the Bahamas ...

You could beat the manufacturers at their own game and start your own craze free. Try collecting shells, shiny stones, pictures from magazines, (even stamp collecting was free in the days when people wrote letters, just tear them off envelopes)

We're Go-Going Crazy..., 02 Nov 2008
...in our house because for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.

The album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound and has fun statistics and names for all of the Go Gos. A nice touch are the various games with simple rules. Why the five stars for educational value? Well, my son looks at this album all the time and can now easily recognise the numbers from 1-80. He also happily copies out the characters' names so improving his writing skills.

Go Gos are great - the only downside is they get everywhere in our house. From personal experience it's not nice to tread on one with bare feet!!

Go Go Crazy Bones are cool, 17 Oct 2008
I started liking Go Go crazy Bones a few days ago when my friend brought in his Collection of 81 Crazy Bones he gave me this little piggy one which i call BlueBerry.I recommend this Product for anyone who isn't 3 years old or under.

gogo by , 30 Sep 2008
I am 10 years old and I love gogo crazy bones I started to like them when my classmate showed me them i have now got six and my 11 year old brother has got six I am hoping to collect them all.




by neeky surian bailey

Pretty Good, 30 Sep 2008
Although I am generally against these crazies that go around schools this one is one of the better ones. My son thinks the album is brilliant as it contains instructions on how to play different games, details of each gogo, including name and what they are best at. Definately a good addition to the toys themselves.

Fun and addictive, 03 Oct 2008
We got this as a present and all the family love it. Its great fun playing in teams or solo. Its also very protable for holidays.


Bananagram by candle light., 29 Sep 2008
I bought this on the strength of its reviews to take on holiday. My husband, who hates playing games, felt compelled to offer our daughter assistance when she played with me and was hooked. All 4 of us played many times during the holiday and it saved the day when we had a power cut. You can't read by candle light but you can still play Bananagram! A fantastic idea and the letter tiles are very pleasing to handle. An all round winner.

Poor Build Quality and Does Not Buck, 17 Nov 2008
This is a classic gamic which I remember being brilliant from childhood. The theory of it is brilliant, load items until the donkey throws them off but this version is cheap, tacky and it doesn't even buck unless you prod it roughly once all the items are on. The items to load are all very poor quality.
The mechanism to reset the donkey is also difficult to operate.
Another game which has been completely ruined by poor production and cost cutting.
Don't waste your money on this version. If you have a very young child 'Bounce Bounce Tigger' is much better quality and works slightly better than this game.

Don't bother........., 16 Nov 2008
I used to have this game as a youngster and I loved it so much.

Now, playing with my two children it fills me, and my children with frustratation.

Yes, I know I'm alot older now, but you have to have a very heavy hand before good old Buck, bucks, you certainly didn't when I was younger.

My son is 4 and he gets very annoyed when he gently puts the items on and I have to tell him to push down a bit more, and then a bit more.....it really does spoil it for him.

So obviously I wouldn't recommend this game at all.


Disappointed, 07 Oct 2008
I have fond memories of playing this game when I was a child, (over 30 years ago), so I bought one for my son's fourth birthday. The first one would not 'buck' at all, even when set to 'difficult' so it was exchanged. The replacement is only slightly better. The new mule, according to the box is supposed to be 'moodier'. It looks a bit more colourful but the old version definitely worked better. You shouldn't have to get all the paraphanelia on and give it a poke before it goes off. It ruins the excitement.

this version does not buck!, 12 Oct 2007
this version of buckaroo just doesn't work as well as the old version. this one (or at least my one) does not buck at all unless you cheat, as stated by someone else below. the old version used to buck with hardly any effort at all, which made the game tense and exciting; brilliant. but with this version, even my nineteen month old son (unsteady as he is)can't make the mule buck. arghhhh! no fun at all.

it's a great idea to try and update the product by incorporating levels and it is a far more attractive looking mule, but the whole point of the game is to make it buck, right? my advice would be to try and find an older version. we've not touched our new buckaroo since we bought it and i am now trying to get my hands on an older version...

Buck - a - roo!, 13 Sep 2007
We initially could not get our mule to buck, but found that we were being too gentle when putting the blanket in place and the saddle. A bit of brute force was all we needed! Now our mule bucks at each of the levels and is fun for all.
As a child I used to visit family friends who had Buckaroo; we did not have it at home and I loved it, now my two sons are getting the toys I always wanted!

The Gogo's Evolution Album is packed full of information about all the Gogo's games and characters. It is also the perfect place to store your stickers! This latest version features special Gogo's comic strips as well as the new 'evolution bar'. The album has 32 pages and and introduces all of the characters, their special skills and their favourite games. It is the essential companion to the Gogo's Crazy Bones collection.

Go Gos Still Going..., 17 Nov 2008
...in Series 2 'Evolutions' - so named because the original 80 Go Gos have kept their basic shape but changed colour and design in every conceivable way in the second wave or their quest for world domination. Like the first series for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.

This new album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound from the shops and has comic strips this time and fun statistics about how much the new Go Gos have evolved.

Quite disappointed that the picture was really not that great; not even of one of the more 'popular' aliens. I would never have bought this jigsaw from a shelf but I suppose that's what you get from buying blind. I now have to search the shops for a 'Ben 10' jigsaw, as opposed to a 'little-known alien' jigsaw. I just wish the advice of the product supplied being a different design would be made more clear as I only noticed this after I had ordered; or at least put on images of the alternative designs.

A great deal for a few pounds, 29 Sep 2008
I really don't know what the problem is with some people that can't handle anything a little different that what they are used to. The puzzle can be opened without any trouble, you just had to rip the bottom edges carefully and that's it.
It's a great puzzle, mi 5 year's old had lots of fun with it, I totally recommend this product (the one with the pictures of the monsters too).



Great for rainy days., 17 Aug 2008
My son is 5 and although he finds the jigsaw challenging he loves every second he spends doing it plus it is one of his favourite things in the world at the moment. I think this item is well worth the money.

Don't be deceived by looks, 03 Aug 2008
I brought this puzzle for my son, but its simply the worst puzzle ever developed and that is due to its one mail flaw, you have to rip open the box to make it. It is not packaged like a traditional puzzle it is fully seladed and cannot be opened other than ripping it all apart. Even at this cheap price it is a waste of money, the puzzle I got was one of the monsters as well and the picture was rubbish. Don't waste your cash.

Good toy, lasts all of a day..., 23 Oct 2008
I bought a Rubik's cube from a seller on Amazon. I was disappointed to see it wasn't an original Rubik's Cube, but a cheap rip-off.

Despite this, the cube seemed to move nicely, there weren't stickers but coloured pieces of plastic, so the trouble of the stickers peeling off was non-existent.

However, after about a week of solving it again, again and again, one of the centre pieces fell out. It just... fell out.

So I proceeded to pop it back in again, which it did with a satisfying 'click'.

Later that day I realised the piece was started to become loose. It fell out again. On my second time of replacing it, it shattered.

Now I have a cube with a piece missing.

Great.

The Rubik's cube are not as good as the 80's models, 31 Aug 2008
I first got a Rubik's cube when they came out in the early 80's and absolutely loved it. I used the first one so much that I had to buy a replacement within a couple of years. The action for these cubes was fantastic. 'Clicky' 'tight' but so easy and smooth to turn. Even though I could eventually solve the puzzle in a couple of minutes, I've never tired of it.

I was really pleased when they started to produce the cube again and was keen to buy a new one. I bought a new cube and was dismayed to find that the action and build quality was terrible. I actually dug out my remaining original cube to try and see what the difference could be and saw that the original design had little areas where the inner surfaces had open pockets or gaps. I think this was what helped to reduce the drag when turning the faces.

I ended up exchanging several e-mails with the main 'Rubik's Cube' website and after trying to say that their product was as good as the original, they eventually admitted that their new cube was different. They said that they had stopped leaving these little gaps/pockets due to the risk of small children sticking their fingers in and thereafter being hurt. I personally think that this is utter nonsense.

Anyway, I ended up checking out cubes on ebay and managed to get an original 80's cube in mint condition for under ten pounds. When it arrived, it really was like being introduced to an old friend. 'Tight' 'Clicky' but smooth as silk. A total contrast to the terrible ones that are being sold as the official cube.

I've actually just ordered another 'Rubik's Cube' from another site which says that they get their cubes from a factory in Hungary which is still under the control of the inventor Mr. Erno Rubik. I am very hopeful that it will be as good as his original cube was.

good fun but the rubik's cube was slimy, 22 Aug 2008
i found the rubik's cube a little slimy i had to wash my hands after i play with it plus the cubes are hard to move you got to line them im or it won't move and its only goes one way it can go the other way but its much stiffer the packages was a bit crp coz it came in a little plastic bag im not sure mabe it was just my one.

Great puzzle - low on durability, 23 Jul 2008
I bought this recently to take on holiday........it gave me a challenge for a week and something to do on the beach whilst soaking up the sun. I owned one in the 80's but was never able to do it, so thought now I'm a bit older I'll give it another go......and am now pleased to say after a weeks practice, driving my girlfriend mad and memorising certain moves and following the solve guide that comes with it........I can now complete it in under 2 minutes. It is a great challenge, incredibly addictive and a cool party trick.....dumbfounding people with a seemingly impossible task to solve.
There is a mention on here from one reviewer that the last step in the solution booklet doesnt work. I thought this at first, but it does work....its just not explained very well. So tip: Once you have all the all the last layer corners in the right place but not flipped, pick a face to be your front face....I always choose red. Hold the front face facing you and now JUST TURN THE TOP LAYER and get the piece that needs to be flipped in the top right hand corner. Execute the move R(anticlockwise) D (anticlockwise) R (clockwise) D (clockwise). Make sure when you turn your D face you turn it the correct way.....imagine you are looking directly at D face you are turning. (It is easy to turn it clockwise, not anticlockwise if you are not looking at it directly.) After executing this move 2 or 4 times the corner that needed to be flipped will be completed. What it DOESNT explain in the booklet is that once you have flipped one corner IT WONT GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STATE YOU STARTED WITH........it still looks all messed up.......don't worry about it. keep going. Still holding your chosen front face facing you, turn the top layer again so the next corner piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner. Execute the move again. Keep turning the top layer, so the piece that needs to be flipped is in the top right hand corner, and execute the alogorithm. On the last corner piece.......as if by magic...all the colours line up and just twist the individual layers and you've done it! Hope this helps......
The downside of this cube is, and much the same as the other reviews....after much twisting and turning the stickers start to peel away from the edges. A great gadget that is hard to put down, its just a shame they dont make it more durable.

Just as I remember, 30 Jun 2008
I had one of the original cubes as a child and loved it. It is probably up in the loft somewhere but I wanted a new one anyway. This is exactly the same high quality I remember. It was lovely and fluid straight out of the box. I love it just as much now as I did then, now Im a bit smarter so can complete it too LOL. I have no hesitation in recommending this cube, it really is the best one you can buy.

I'm lost!, 17 Nov 2008
These crazes that go round schools baffle me!

My 5-year old son was given a bag of these at a party and now all the boys in his class have harmless fights with them. I really couldn't see the attraction in this craze, but then I'm not 5.

At that age, children will collect anything, so the manufacturer makes a fortune at £1 per bag for a few plastic figures sold to millions of children, backed up by some marketing and then retires to the Bahamas ...

You could beat the manufacturers at their own game and start your own craze free. Try collecting shells, shiny stones, pictures from magazines, (even stamp collecting was free in the days when people wrote letters, just tear them off envelopes)

We're Go-Going Crazy..., 02 Nov 2008
...in our house because for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.

The album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound and has fun statistics and names for all of the Go Gos. A nice touch are the various games with simple rules. Why the five stars for educational value? Well, my son looks at this album all the time and can now easily recognise the numbers from 1-80. He also happily copies out the characters' names so improving his writing skills.

Go Gos are great - the only downside is they get everywhere in our house. From personal experience it's not nice to tread on one with bare feet!!

Go Go Crazy Bones are cool, 17 Oct 2008
I started liking Go Go crazy Bones a few days ago when my friend brought in his Collection of 81 Crazy Bones he gave me this little piggy one which i call BlueBerry.I recommend this Product for anyone who isn't 3 years old or under.

gogo by , 30 Sep 2008
I am 10 years old and I love gogo crazy bones I started to like them when my classmate showed me them i have now got six and my 11 year old brother has got six I am hoping to collect them all.

Pretty Good, 30 Sep 2008
Although I am generally against these crazies that go around schools this one is one of the better ones. My son thinks the album is brilliant as it contains instructions on how to play different games, details of each gogo, including name and what they are best at. Definately a good addition to the toys themselves.

Fun and addictive, 03 Oct 2008
We got this as a present and all the family love it. Its great fun playing in teams or solo. Its also very protable for holidays.


Bananagram by candle light., 29 Sep 2008
I bought this on the strength of its reviews to take on holiday. My husband, who hates playing games, felt compelled to offer our daughter assistance when she played with me and was hooked. All 4 of us played many times during the holiday and it saved the day when we had a power cut. You can't read by candle light but you can still play Bananagram! A fantastic idea and the letter tiles are very pleasing to handle. An all round winner.

great for rainy camping days, 09 Aug 2008
The best fun we have had in years. Simple instructions. Great family game. Words can be as long or as short as you want. Children enjoy playing. We played in three teams of two as a variation of the game and it worked well.

Great game! , 13 Apr 2008
This game is so addictive! Great for all the family- I started making words with 3 letters, now I can get up to 5 or 6 :)


Great game - but you could just use your scrabble tiles, 04 Apr 2008
This game is so simple to play that our family picked it up within minutes. Much more enjoyable than scrabble when more than 2 people are playing, because everyone is involved all the time. However, it really is just scrabble tiles with no board and different rules.

Poor Build Quality and Does Not Buck, 17 Nov 2008
This is a classic gamic which I remember being brilliant from childhood. The theory of it is brilliant, load items until the donkey throws them off but this version is cheap, tacky and it doesn't even buck unless you prod it roughly once all the items are on. The items to load are all very poor quality.
The mechanism to reset the donkey is also difficult to operate.
Another game which has been completely ruined by poor production and cost cutting.
Don't waste your money on this version. If you have a very young child 'Bounce Bounce Tigger' is much better quality and works slightly better than this game.

Don't bother........., 16 Nov 2008
I used to have this game as a youngster and I loved it so much.

Now, playing with my two children it fills me, and my children with frustratation.

Yes, I know I'm alot older now, but you have to have a very heavy hand before good old Buck, bucks, you certainly didn't when I was younger.

My son is 4 and he gets very annoyed when he gently puts the items on and I have to tell him to push down a bit more, and then a bit more.....it really does spoil it for him.

So obviously I wouldn't recommend this game at all.


Disappointed, 07 Oct 2008
I have fond memories of playing this game when I was a child, (over 30 years ago), so I bought one for my son's fourth birthday. The first one would not 'buck' at all, even when set to 'difficult' so it was exchanged. The replacement is only slightly better. The new mule, according to the box is supposed to be 'moodier'. It looks a bit more colourful but the old version definitely worked better. You shouldn't have to get all the paraphanelia on and give it a poke before it goes off. It ruins the excitement.

this version does not buck!, 12 Oct 2007
this version of buckaroo just doesn't work as well as the old version. this one (or at least my one) does not buck at all unless you cheat, as stated by someone else below. the old version used to buck with hardly any effort at all, which made the game tense and exciting; brilliant. but with this version, even my nineteen month old son (unsteady as he is)can't make the mule buck. arghhhh! no fun at all.

it's a great idea to try and update the product by incorporating levels and it is a far more attractive looking mule, but the whole point of the game is to make it buck, right? my advice would be to try and find an older version. we've not touched our new buckaroo since we bought it and i am now trying to get my hands on an older version...

Buck - a - roo!, 13 Sep 2007
We initially could not get our mule to buck, but found that we were being too gentle when putting the blanket in place and the saddle. A bit of brute force was all we needed! Now our mule bucks at each of the levels and is fun for all.
As a child I used to visit family friends who had Buckaroo; we did not have it at home and I loved it, now my two sons are getting the toys I always wanted!


Go Gos Still Going..., 17 Nov 2008
...in Series 2 'Evolutions' - so named because the original 80 Go Gos have kept their basic shape but changed colour and design in every conceivable way in the second wave or their quest for world domination. Like the first series for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.

This new album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound from the shops and has comic strips this time and fun statistics about how much the new Go Gos have evolved. It also has 80 new names for them all! Why the five stars for educational value? Well, my son looks at this album all the time and can now easily recognise the numbers from 1-80. He also happily copies out the characters' names so improving his writing skills.


Peppas Jigsaw, 02 Dec 2007
I purchased this for my 18 month old baby girl and she loves it!! It is great fun for her to do and she loves anything to do with Peppa Pig and the gang!

Really great jigsaw, I am having to buy another one as this one is getting a little old!!

More than 2000 years ago... No, it's not a mistake, more than 2000 years ago the boys and girls of ancient Greece and Rome played a game using bones - throwing and bouncing them in village squares and in their own homes. We know this because some ancient paintings on marble were discovered in a city called Resina which date back more than 2000 years, showing kids playing this game. This ancient pastime known as "tabas" has been kept alive throughout the centuries and if you ask your parents or grandparents we are sure they will tell you about games that they played with sticks or pebbles. Each packet of Gogo's Crazy Bones contains 3 Gogo's characters and 3 stickers! There are 80 different characters to collect and each character is availabe in 5 different colours... Look out for the new 'transparent' Gogo's!

Just a jigsaw, 01 Nov 2008
I got this as a stocking filler for my 6 year old and it was quite a difficult puzzle to put together.

First of all we couldnt get in the box without ripping all the paper and secondly the pieces are quite flimsy.

It took us a while to finish but we got there!
