5 Stars Zhu Zhu Zooming Through My Room!
Picked up two of these guys the other day since they happened to be in the store and I happened to be in the store. A little bit of background first: I’m a 26 year-old collector of many things including robotic pets. I’ve tried out Furbys, Micropets, Neopets, Scoozie pets, Petal-chi, Mutsu, Fureal Friends, and more so I consider myself a bit of an expert on the subject.

To start with, these things eat batteries, have triple A’s on hand. Second, I don’t have any playsets, I’m just testing the hamsters.

Upon opening and removing this little guy I tried out “cuddle mode”, which was a little disappointing. The hamster will lie still and make cute noises every few seconds or so but he isn’t really responding to anything. “Try me mode” is when the hamster is off but you can push his nose to hear a random noise, not a lot of fun there. Now play mode, that’s where the fun is. The wheels are fast and the grip is really strong, I promptly put it on my boyfriend to see if it would climb up his shirt and it did, hit the back of the couch, made a springy noise and ran back down. Even he cracked up at it. It tackles carpet and all hard surfaces no problem, and makes a ton of different noises, some 40 in all, and each of the four designs sounds unique!. You have to be careful around stairs but all in all it does what it was made to do and cheaply at that. At normal retail they’re cheaper than most action figures.

(I got mine at normal retail and I suggest you wait until you can too. If you have kids and can’t find them try giving a cute IOU written from the hamster saying how it will come to live with your child after X-mas. They have a guarantee from you, you have a kid who still has something to look forward to after December. All is well.)

Remember these are for ages 3 and up and have motorized parts. It says in the instruction to supervise your child, so do so. Risk is probably minimal but if you have a kid you wouldn’t give a RC car to then they’re probably too little for these.

So to wrap up

Good: Funny and varied sounds, cheap, cute, runs fast and randomly, fascinates my dog!

Bad: Hard to find (for now), eats batteries, can pinch, can be broken with a moderate impact.

Have a hamster good day!

5 Stars A rodent on wheels
This was purchased for my daughter. I was afraid it would be one of those toys purchased then set aside. It’s funny and makes cute noises, is responsive to being petted, and rolls all over the house.

Still, it is now a dust collector after a month. If only we could convince the child to contribute to her own college fund…. sigh….. anyone want to buy a slightly used rolling hamster???

5 Stars A cute little toy
My daughter has been saving her allowance for the last few weeks hoping to find these and today we stumbled across them at TRU for retail price. For the $10 price tag she’s been very entertained this afternoon. The creature makes a variety of chirping, beeping, and random noises as it whirls around. It works much better on a tile, vinyl, or hardwood surface than on carpet. You can either have it in a cuddle type mode where you press its head and it chitters at you or press the back and it’ll run around randomly. It’s a sweet toy although noisier than I expected. The store clerk said that production is supposed to meet demand in a few weeks as Christmas draws closer. For $10 we’re happy, but I’m not sure it’s worth 2 or 3 times as much as it is a rather simple toy.

3 Stars BUY THEM @ WALMART FOR $8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh- they r just now (9/11) hitting the market and are $8 for the pet $10/15 for the acessory and $20 for the funhouse! I found all of it at Wal mart and Target is getting it…

5 Stars Fun for hours!
I bought a few of these for my daughter and she loves them. She plays on her own for hours and even when she has playdates, these are all they want to play with!

Fisher Price Peek a Blocks PressandGo Train

Toot! Toot! All aboard for a train full of fun that comes to life at baby’s touch. Five circus-themed blocks ride the train that baby controls. Pressing the smokestack gets it moving, with lights, music and plenty of block-bobbing, spinning, teeter-tottering action. As the train moves along, baby gets to see lots of activity inside the blocks, too. Requires 3 “AA” alkaline batteries (included).

5 Stars Great toy
Wish they still made this toy. It’s no longer made, but they have other variations on the theme with the cool blocks that are entertaining in themselves. I would recommend this for every child interested in interacting with toys.

3 Stars regrettable purchase
The toy itself is a toddler fave. However, the seller of the one I purchased neglected to mention that it was not in working condition.

2 Stars Horable purchase
I have already given this purchase a bad review and no one has bothered to contact me so why would I both to do it again….

5 Stars BIG hit in our House!
Our son has had this toy since he started crawling. He is almost 2 now and still loves this toy. It is easy for him to activate by himself and he enjoys putting the blocks on and watching them move.

Most of our house is carpeted, but we have a small section that has foam ABC mats covering the floor. The train doesn’t move at all on our carpet, but it has no problems on the mats.

Durability- Everything is still fully functional, but two of the blocks that rotate when you put them on the middle car get stuck and won’t spin occasionally.

Overall-an awesome toy that I would highly recommend!

5 Stars great train and less expensive then other peek a blocks
My 1 yr old loves it. Most of those peek a block sets are really expensive. This one is a bit more reasonable. The train is easy to use. One down fall is it goes through batteries like crazy. I also own the shape sorter, elephant and a few roll arounds all which were more than the train. Peek a blocks are great and he loves all of them.
