 | "Broken after 1 day" | 2006-01-02 |
Like others, we gave a GeoTrax train set to my 2 year old for Christmas. It lasted about 24 hours before the locomotive stopped working properly. The product is terrific when it works properly, but it didn't work for us. Fisher Price is sending us a replacement engine and gave us a remedy for our problem, which didn't work. In the mean time, I have about $100 worth of stuff that my kid won't play with because of a faulty engine. I would also recommend rechargable batteries...if you have "hills" in your set, it will suck the batteries dry!

 | "Great for Kids AND Adults!" | 2005-09-07 |
I gave this game to my son for his 6th birthday. It has been the best game we have ever purchased! It satisfied his need for a "shooting" game and I felt good because there isn't any of the blood & guts usually associated with those type of games. When characters "die," they simply fall apart. Also, when your character dies, you automatically come back to life without having to go back to the beginning of the level. It is easy to jump in and out of the game on a 2 player level to help through the difficult parts and it has some more challenging tasks for adults. It took about a month to beat the game, but as with all children's games or movies, kids like to play/watch them over and over again. I HIGHLY recommend this game and hope they come out with a game featuring Episodes 4,5,&6 soon.

 | "A Must For BNL Fans" | 2004-10-13 |
This album is great although it needs more vocal tracks. Its far too short (46 minutes). The album is worth having just for the duet with Sarah McLachlan released in 2002! "Elf's Lament" with Michael Buble is great original material along with "Snowman." As a BNL fan, this album is definitely worth having.

| "Perfect for the Younger Rescue Hero!" | 2004-10-13 |
My 3 year old has loved this toy from the beginning. Its small enough to handle (and put away) and the "winch" is great. The "stretcher" on the back is fun, although it isn't very durable over a long period of time. Overall, this toy is great and is still a favorite after 6 months. Now if only I can keep him from bothering me about buying a real ATV!!

 | Rescue Heroes - The Movie |
| "Rescue Hero for Life!" | 2004-03-20 |
This movie was the first exposure to the Rescue Heroes for my two boys, ages 4 & 2. We watched it in our van on a long car trip and they watched it 2 consecutive times (3 hours) without taking their eyes off it! Its very intense, non-stop action and may be a bit much for kids under 3. It is somewhat educational, positive, and very entertaining for the age group. This is one of the best movies I have ever purchased for my kids.

| "Nothing New Here" | 2002-09-29 |
This DVD and all the other "Best Of" videos are great if you are just getting started with "Thomas" Videos. My 3 year old got bored quickly and has enjoyed some of the others much better. Our favorites are "Spills & Chills" and "Cranky Bugs." Lots of action to keep my boys interested.
