Brilliant!, 22 Sep 2009

This review is from: Hasbro - Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen - Deluxe - Jolt - MOC (Toy)

Jolt is awesome. The figure wins plus points straight away by having an alt mode that isn't silver. The vehicle mode is okay, realistic and detailed, but like many of today's cars, it's just a bubble on wheels. The paint app is a bit odd. There's nice sparkly blue paint above the passenger windows, but the rest of the car is rendered in plain blue plastics which give it a mis-matched look, which is a shame.

Transformation is great, not too fiddly and not too easy; the grill splits open, the bonnet flips forward that then flips underneath the car once the windscreen and roof are split apart to form the arms and reveal the torso. The rear of the car then splits and unfolds to reveal the legs and feet. Lovely!

The robot mode is excellent. Much better than the awful pack shot would have you believe with a good mix of greys and blues. The translucent chest wont be to everyone's taste and neither will the unfortunate application of silver paint on his head which gives him a buck-toothed look. The head is further spoilt by what I presume are supposed to be eyes. Two transparent circles which are plonked at cheek level that make him look like someone's got busy with the make up.

As with most modern Transformers, there are at least 14 points of articulation making him able to achieve a range of poses. The head, unfortunately cannot move too far due to the engine block and the arms need careful placing of those panels to allow a good range of movement. The wind out blades add the final touch and make this blue bruiser ready to do some damage.

I'm so impressed with the toy that he easily trumps Sideways and Sideswipe and is very much worth paying full wack for.

Comment on Takara Metal Fight BeyBlade BB-88 Meteo L-Drago LW105LF for Sale by Ms Mary M. Monica "David-Beyblade:reviews"

METEO L-DRAGO REVIEW, 25 July 2011

Ms Mary M. Monica "David-Beyblade:reviews" (Cambridge UK) -

= Durability: = Fun: = Educational:

This review is from: Takara Metal Fight BeyBlade BB-88 Meteo L-Drago LW105LF (Toy)

Meteo L-Drago LW105LF

Face: The face depicts L-Drago, the dragon emperor.

Clear Wheel/Energy Wheel & Metal Wheel: (Since these two are only meant to be used in comparison with each other, I will write with them as one entry in the review.)
Meteo L-Drago is a spin stealing ring, when hand spun against any right spin bey launched with a launcher, the rubber on the clear wheel/energy wheel causes the bey to speed up. the bey has two modes, assault mode, and absorb mode. assault mode is good at spin stealing and attacking whereas absorb mode is much more focused on spin stealing. The bey is more of a "pain splitter" in actuality, it can spin steal, but when both beys are losing power, it tends to stop stealing and give spin. whatever others may say about it being unbeatable, it's actually quite easy to make a bey that can beat it.

Spin Track: Left Wing 105 / LW105 is a low spin track, resulting in strong offensive capabilities, the wings on this track are supposed to create a downards force on the bey, preventing it from being knocked out if the ring, although this effect is negligible, and if it does work, the effect is insignificant.

Performance Tip: LF is a mirrored version of R2F, however is made completely of plastic. Due to the nature of rubber bottoms, R2F is tall relative to plastic bottoms, and consequently, so is LF. LF appears to be a flat bottom with 6 equal protrusions facing the counter-clockwise direction (when viewed on an upright Beyblade).LF gives an aggressive movement pattern akin to other Flat Performance Tips, however due to it's jagged form, is more aggressive than other Flat Performance Tips made of plastic. When launched it sounds like an aeroplane is flying overhead, VERY LOUD.

Overall: Meteo L-Drago is a below average attack type beyblade and is made for spin stealing and performs reasonably well when faced against any right-spin bey, although fails dramatically when facing a left spin bey if it is in absorb mode OR assault mode.

Every COMPETETIVE BLADER should have at least one of this bey.

The delivery was on time, its ability is having a great stamina and defence and also sometimes it can be very strong, I have made a battle with "Beyblade Metal Fusion Storm Capricorn Top" and Have won battle 20 out of 25 4/5 matches even though I've ripped this beyblade first into the battle (Once again shows that it has great stamina), I reckon that this is the best beyblade EVER

If your son/grandson loves Star Wars then this is brilliant. The voice is excellent and I am hoping our grandson will love it.

It doesn't transform!!, 4 Jan 2012

= Durability: = Fun: = Educational:

This review is from: Transformers Movie 3 Stealth Force Bumblebee Figure (Toy)

Having now re-read the product description, I concede it does actually state that the toy doesn't convert to a robot, waaaaaaaaay down the page in the boring blurb (which I shall in future examine like a lawyer - lesson learnt). So my beef is not with this retailer but the prize idiot/child-hating sadist who came up with this design.

"Transformers".. dude, the clue's in the name!! How can they sleep at night, marketing TRANSFORMERS that DON'T transform? My young son picked this out from an Argos catalogue which is why we purchased this one, and was naturally very disappointed on Christmas Day - as was I after having shelled out for a more expensive Bumblebee in order that Santa would have sent the right one.

Very limited range of features, and the usual range of annoying repetitive sounds. Oh, and the red stand pictured is composed of the two ends of the product's packaging - this would be a really good idea if they clicked & connected together. But they don't, so it's pointless. Total waste of cash in all respects.

This was a present from Santa for my daughter, and its been somewhat disappointing. I agree it looks much better on the TV advert, and doesn't sit on the game board too well. Its only been played with twice since Christmas day, so not been a great hit with the children.

i have two sons age 4 and 6 and they both loved this game, we had alot of fun as a family and it has been played with more than other games we own. it can be a bit flimsy but as long as you are gentle and turn the crank slowly it works just fine. I would completely recommend it especially if you get it on sale ;)

The Best Lego Set Ever!, 11 April 2010

A Kid's Review

= Durability: = Fun: = Educational:

This review is from: LEGO® 5508: Deluxe Brick Box (Toy)

I've only just started properly playing with lego, so this is a great set for me! That's because this brick box has over seven hundred bricks in it, and around nine different colours. You can build so many things, e.g. houses, cars, shops. There are really only simple bricks inside, not like the Belville sets or Pirate sets, although there are doors, windows, and two mini figures. If you are trying to collect lots and lots of Lego to build something huge then buy one of these!

The box is actually much bigger than it should be, because I can fit all the pieces from this set and from my smaller box inside. I think it might be diliberately designed like this so you can use it for storing all your Lego! Nevertheless, do not be deceived by the size.

The most handy thing about this brick box is that it contains a baseplate. It's about half the size of a large green Lego baseplate, but there is still enough room to make a mini garage for the mini figures, or something that size. I suggest buying a large green Lego baseplate, or an x-large gray Lego baseplate. I actually have both so there's plenty of room!

I recommend this brick box to people who don't mind having simple bricks, not detailed bricks in other words, and people who are just starting and who want to collect lots and lots!

I bought this Lego set for my 4 year old daughter to begin her collection, and have now bought it for a friends 5 year old boy. It is a fantastic start to any collection, great price and very quick delivery. Would definitely recommend if anyone is considering starting their lego collection.

This product is exactly what it says on the box, LEGO!! Alot of pieces, alot of variety, and a selection of ideas and instructions to get the little ones started. There is even a little tool to help separate the bricks, which is an absolute godsend (More for me and my husband). My son will have hours of fun with this. Great present for older children (4years and above) boys and girls alike!!
