Breyer Cochis-Bonanza "Little Joe" Cartwight's Horse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this beautiful paint for my birthday last year, and adore him. I love Bonanza, the cast, and their equines. Cochise is a lovely model, and he can easily stand proudly next to my 'Big Chex To Cash' and still draw eyes his direction. He is stunning in leather tack in a show, or just sitting on a self beside my multitude of other equines. He is a bit stockier than my other models, but I'm sure if played with too roughly he could also be broken.
I love the mold, and the black and white tovero markings just make him that much more... elegant. He captures the essence of Bonanza and 'Little' Joe so easily, and I declared him a must have from the get-go. I'm exceedingly happy with him, although he did not come with a Breyer booklet like it said on the box.

Countless Americans grew up on this classic Western television series, which debuted in 1959 and ran until 1973, longer than any other Western in television history. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic show, Breyer® has created portrait Cochise - "Little Joe" Cartwright's horse. Cochise was a beautiful black and white Paint horse chosen by Michael Landon, who portrayed Ben's impetuous youngest son, Joseph "Little Joe" Cartwright. Its loud coloration provided a nice contrast to the buckskin, brown and chestnut horses ridden by other cast members.BONANZA® created by David Dotort, characters, elements and all related indicia®, TM, and ©2009 Bonanza Ventures, Inc.

Revell 1:100 F-16 Fighting Falcon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was hoping that this product was just what I needed for a beginner in the model world who loved jets. It was perfect. He enjoyed it and it was very easy to put together. I liked the fact that I did not have to buy extra paints and glue (Yeah!!! Nothing to clean up except for the plastic casings.)

Revell 1:24 '55 Chevy Street Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this from a michaels in my area, I will say this it is a perfect model for ametuers graduating from level 1 to level 2. The instructions are the only flaw with this model considering that they don't clearly point out where each part goes in some instances and paint details are not located in an appropriate place(they are located in the back of the instuctions in three little sentences telling you what to paint each color.) If they made the directions a little easier to understand it would be perfect. Also you will need low tac painters tape for this model if you want to detail it properly. Colors needed for this car are, Silver, red, white, blue, Gloss black, flat black. You will also need tweezers and vynil gloves to keep clean. I recommend chrome if possile for the outer details since that how the picture shows it, I think transparent red and white if they make it(ametuer in model making my self) for the lights in the back since they are chrome plated.
couple of tips for someone who is in the process of working on this model. don't follow the instructions completely, sand the body lightly and the hood lightly then wash with dish detergent and let air dry(basic tip the instructions don't cover.) You will need a fine tip cement dispensor, since there are some really small parts and holes. All in all its a cool model.

1:24 scale. The '55 Chevy 'shoebox' is the classic basis for a 'rod' of the post-war era. Great visual character helped, but it was the small block V-8 that really sold the performance fans. This '55 has a blown engine, and a solid axle with lightweight suspension. Features: Drag bar suspension, clear hood scoop, waterslide decals. SKILL 2

LEGO DUPLO Toy Story The Great Train Chase 5659 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great supplementary DUPLO set if you already own one (or in my case.. two) basic set. Now, What do I mean by that?
Specialized set like this can be fun but sometimes limited. This set for example only has 39 pieces. It is natural to wonder whether you should get some other basic set that have more pieces. For example, LEGO® DUPLO® Building Set - 71 Pieces (5380) or LEGO® DUPLO® Deluxe Brick Box - 102 Pieces (5507) that contain more pieces for your kids to play with.
I say get both. The pieces contained in this set integrate well with a basic set. You will get three small characters (Woody, Buzz and Jessie --> Basic set will have only one or two), two cars (basic set only have one --> my sons love chaining them up now), some other interesting pieces (i.e. cactus, coach) and additional basic blocks. A basic set can feel a little bland sometimes and these additional pieces from the set somehow add some additional 'magic' to it.
So if it is on its own, I say it is probably four star (slightly expensive for small number of pieces). But if you already have other DUPLO basic set, it is definitely a five star. I bought these for my two boys (3 years old and 1 1/2 years old) and they certainly enjoyed playing with them.

LEGO Toy Story Woody's Round Up (7594) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have all the Toy Story sets, except the 'giant' Zurg and Buzz, which we can't find (except on e Bay at JACKED UP prices!). As of today, Amazon is not carrying them and Toys R Us is sold out. My 7 year old loves these sets. They are great Lego quality.I know some people buy Lego sets to collect, but these are Toys at our house and are played with heavily since Christmas. Lego getting the Toy Story license was a nice idea, good business for Lego, good fun for Toy Story fans. It's a win win situation! (ha just had to say it)
If you can afford it, buy it!
I have to agree with the other review, as a reminder, if you're tempted to buy this for a younger child, this probably isn't suitable for anyone younger than 5-6 at the lowest unless closely working with an adult. Younger children WILL want to play with them, and unless you're completely sure there is no chance of these pieces being swallowed, I would use age-wise caution when purchasing.
Of course, all good Moms and Dads know this anyway!

Revell 1:48 A10 Warthog Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just finished building this kit today and finally breathed a sigh of relief! It should really be a Skill Level 3 kit. The fit is terrible in the wings and engine nacelles, but the most annoying fit problem for me was with the anti-sway brackets on the pylons. They don't fit...That's all there is to it. Be prepared to have to sand down all 22 of the brackets. Even then I had to leave some of them off because I couldn't get the weapons payload to attach to the pylons with the anti-sway brackets in the way. I'm still a rookie when it comes to using filler, but I had to use it on this kit and, luckily, it came out not too bad. When the model was completed, it looked rather nice. That's why I would give this kit 3 stars out of 5. I've said it earlier but it must be said again: You will HAVE to use contour putty and do lots of sanding for this kit to look even remotely nice.

(More customer reviews)I bought this model for my Grandson along with several others in the Revell SnapTite line. I'm not sure who is having more fun! He just turned 6 and we now have 6 models hanging from his bedroom ceiling!! Good time for a little history lesson, learning to follow directions improve eye-hand coordination, and having a great time with Grandpa!!
