This blanket is soft and cozy. My nephew loves it. It quickly became his favorite. If your little one is into Toy Story, and with Toy Story 3 coming out this Spring, it's a perfect purchase. Great value for the price.

I ordered this poster for my children. When it arrived it was in a very thin, wet cardboard container that had been smashed. this in turn made the poster crinkled and faded.

The format is not as good as a dvd, but if you're interested in this video-clip don't dude and buy it. Amazing choreography, makeup, special effects, wardrobe, characterization... Enjoy it!

I tried this dvd in our computer when I got it and it worked fine and then I tried to play it in our dvd player and it won't play, when buying a dvd make sure it is from a store and new I bought it used, it is my mistake and one that I will not make again.

I was extremely impressed with this short film by MJ .He is so adorable in this video.Truly displayed his multi facet talent in acting ,singing and dancing.This is a Must have for all MJ fans. MJ achieved his goal in that the film was scary,yet funny and entertaining and at the same time Sad ( for it depicts his real live as people think he is a freak) Certain parts of this VCD was a little unclear -not as sharp as a DVD .Its still worth the AUD$40 that I paid for it.Highly recommended from this vendor It only took abt 10 days from time of order to getting it in my hands.Disc was produced by Sony Asia. I was disappointed that there was no inclusion of the making of ghost in this VCD. I noticed in You Tube there were some postings for the making of the video which was really an eye opener,as it showed what a Genius MJ was in creating and perfecting this short film. MJ would have been a great producer and director of short films if he had lived.We have lost a wonderful man and an incredibly talented human being

Oh, word can't express how I love this dvd, Michael is so great, he is a gift from God.........

As usual, MJ is full of surprises. This video is a great statement about how we shouldn't "judge a book by its cover". Of course, there's great dancing and lots of great visual effects. The acting isn't bad, either. A must-have for all MJ fans.

I've loved Michael ever since I was seven. This movie was the first glimpse that I seen with him and he was great. It opens up with him performing "Man In the Mirror", then it shows snippets of him singing as a child. It then shows Michael's "Leave Me Alone" video. It includes a mini movie of Michael and three children; Michael and the little girl who plays Katie stumble upon a druglord, while looking for their dog Skipper, who runs into the woods after they all are shown playing in the park. The druglord (Frankie Lideo) goes on a manhunt to kill Michael, along with his army of "robotic machines". Michael gets away after running into a dead-in by wishing upon a "lucky star" and being transformed into this extremely fast, futuristic car. He goes to Club 30's and his video "Smooth Criminal" is shown. After it ends, Michael is told by the two boys that Katie was taken by Frankie, so Michael goes to rescue her. At first it seems as if Michael will be defeated, but of course, good trumps evil, so in the end Michael overcomes Frankie's army by turning into a "robotic machine" himself (much cooler version than Frankie's army) and destroys them. Michael and Frankie have a final showdown and Frankie loses (no surprise there). Michael leaves and the children are sad to see him go. Katie takes it the hardest and wishes upon a star for him to come back and Michael suddenly walks through the fogged streets. After, the reunion they walk to Club 30's where Michael closes with his version of "Come Together" (I love it). As a child, I saw him as somewhat magical, because that's exactly how he potrayed himself. He was an excellent singer and entertainer. Though, he's no longer with us he will live on through his music and his children. I love you Michael! R.I.P.

I was so excited when I found my movie at the price it was and couldn't wait for it to arrive. I was very impressed when it arrive in my mailbox 3 days ahead of schedule. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my order!!!!

I bought this NTSC/Region 1 DVD from the secondary seller. It arrived on the earliest of the promised delivery dates, and it ran perfectly in my DVD player. So from a buyer's standpoint, I give it an A! As for the content, I can't offer much more than other fans have said. In fact, I can't say enough! Michael looks so joyful and earnest in these pieces; you just want to eat him up! I especially liked his pseudo-live (well, I guess it's really live, but given for a preset audience) rendition of the Lennon-McCartney classic "Come Together." His treatment is suitably funky! For comparison, go on the Web and find one of the Beatles' live performances. John and Sir Paul would have no complaints, I think. Anyway, this Moonwalker DVD is a great buy, and I recommend it highly. :-} Enjoy!!!

THIS IS A HARD MOVIE TO FIND. I PAID 17$, NO S&H, AND IT CAME THE NEXT DAY AFTER I OREDERED IT! THE INFO SAID IT WAS A ASIAN VERSION AND IT WAS IN ENGLISH! BUY IT! YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

I have had the original VHS since I was BABY practically, and continue to watch it every often, even way BEFORE Michael passed. When I thought they would take advantage after he passed by releasing "past" movies and such, I assumed this would of been first, and too my surprise it wasn't even mentioned. I would like to believe this dvd is a "bootleg" but it seems to genuine and it has the appropriate details from the "Warner Bro's Studios", LOGOS, FBI Warning, the works, so its obviously legit. What I don't get is why the record company would release a "Michael Jackson" dvd in another country rather than his own, this DVD doesn't exist here in the U.S., unless its a bootleg. I am not complaining at all about the situation, I bought the last dvd "new" from this page for only $18.96, thats all...they will probably release and sell it for more in the U.S. soon, I hope, with extra footage of some sort. Even though there is a few Korean writings on the DVD BOX, its ALL in ENGLISH, and works PERFECTLY FINE with my REGION 1 DVD player. I noticed some buyers from another page "accidently" bought REGION 2, which doesn't work for the U.S. and U.K. So be very careful which "REGION" you buy, THIS VERSION was perfect and played crystal clear for me on my MAC and Home DVD player. GOOD LUCK TO ALL SEARCHING FOR THIS GREAT RARE ITEM!!!

If you have young children and you want them to learn a little about passover then try this. LambChop also has a cute one. Both are worth getting

Okay, so maybe it's not the MOST accurate representation of a biblical story that I've ever seen, but it's definitely my favorite! Children of all ages will delight in the creativity that Angelica, Tommy, Chuckie, and the gang bring to this video. If you're offended by the historical inaccuracies, take a moment to consider the audience toward whom the video is directly, and appreciate that Nickelodeon is attempting to educate our children. You can always go back and make minor changes in your kid's understanding of the story later on. Besides, they'll probably be thankful that the story was presented in such a fun way.

Best Rugrats episode EVER. This episode exceeds all other Rugrats episodes. OK so it is not 100 per cent true to life but it is a CARTOON. I mean how often do Hollywood get it spot on not very often if I remember well. The babies and the adults all get locked in the attic one by one and all hear and take part in the exodus. Angelica as Pharaoh, well I will never look at the Sphinx in the same light again, and the mobile phone with the cartouch's on was just so HER. No the story is not the one we read in the Good Book but it is fun and there are some good one liners (from the adorable Miss P)and that is how we should view it. Watch it and SMILE.

Personally, I bought this video to show to my second grade students, but now I look foward to sharing it with my children. The Rugrats depict the story of Passover with some minor changes so as to not frighten young children. It's interesting and historically accurate (except for those few age appropriate changes). My students had a ball watching it and were able to recall much of the information about Passover afterwards. It's a movie for the whole family.

I find this Rugrats episode for children and maybe even adults too. I mean the Jewish celebrate it but it is in the Christian side of the Bible so anyone can learn from it. I enjoyed the way they showed the holiday on a baby's point of view to make it show how people look at stories like Passover. I definitely recommend this video.

Wonderful perfume purchased for my daughter. She is thrilled with it and I "borrow" it when she isn't around.....

This is the best perfume ever! I've tried many others and still do go to others just for something different and I always come back to Euphoria. I receive so many compliments, even from men. Most of the time I can't smell it, but I continue to get great comments...mostly asking what fragrance I'm wearing! It's very subtle and not overpowering at all.

I received the product quickly and the packaging was perfect. My only complaint is that the fragrance was very light as compared to other Euphoria purchases that were made at department stores. The price was very good. I have heard that shipping by air may affect the fragrance. As time goes by the fragrance seems to get stronger.

I bought with this seller and the Euphoria was FAKE!!! The fragrance does not fix the skin and the perfume does not come with the label. REGRETTED!!!!!!!!!!

I only wish this was available in a true "perfume" form. The Eau De Parfum doesn't "stay" as long as I would like, but it is still a nice scent.

Obviously fragrance is a very personal matter. Because we all have our own personal body chemistry, one fragrance can smell quite different on various people. For that reason, I am not going to urge you to buy Pink Sugar. I can only say that I love this fragrance! I first smelled it at a Sephora store some time ago and I could not get the scent out of my mind. I finally bought some and I love it so much I am now on my second bottle. I pretty much wear it daily. I find it hard to categorize. When you first put it on it does smell like a mix of cotton candy and vanilla, but as the day goes on the smell deepens. It is actually a very complex scent and it is really hard to describe. I absolutely adore this fragrance - but will you? The best thing to do is to go to a Sephora or Ulta store and try it. Obviously lots of people love Pink Sugar and maybe you will as well.

LOVE this perfume. I am someone that doesn't like a strong scent. This smells a bit like the old "Love Soft" with a bit more of a floral/vanilla undertone. If you like bakery smells, this is for you. I've actually had it on and people have said, do you smell cupcakes? (men LOVE this!) Fresh, clean and for old or young. My mom, who's in her 70's loves the shower gel. Cheers you up!

I gave this perfume to my daughter for Christmas. She is eleven years old and it was perfect. Very age appropriate and she said it makes her feel good everytime she wears it.

Great! Smells delicious. Big bottle, nothing more to say except it is fantastic and i was very happy!

I ordered this perfume on Amazon based purely on recommendations and reviews, which is something I never do! I am so glad that I ordered it because it is now my favorite new perfume! I spray it on my skin in the morning and when I go to bed I can still smell it. Definitely order it here because it is MUCH cheaper than anywhere else I looked.

I received this perfume as a gift and was very excited to try it since Oprah had given it her seal of approval. Unfortunately, it smells like a depillatory when initially applied. After an hour or so, it settles and becomes pleasant. I layer it with the body lotion which is quite good as a moisturizer but, just like the perfume, it has a strong cloying, harsh, chemical smell when I first put it on. Also, I don't know if this matters or not, but I have never gotten a compliment on it.

This company is not reputable although the product is good., JUST BEWARE!!! The company that you will be purchasing it from on here is not reputable and if you have an issue with the product, they require you to spend a copay to see a physician to get a note stating that you had a "skin condition" and then go their website to fill out a return form, THEN they may (or may not) approve it.... WAYYYYYY ridiculous!!!! Or, they ONLY refund for unused and unopened!

This fragrance is so delightful. It is light and flowery without being over powering. When people come into my work place they ask what smells so good and of course it's my Lovely Parfum. If you like a light fragrance but one that last all day without being too strong this is the parfum for you!

I didn't care for this perfume at all. I think it stinks and is way too strong

I love Lovely. It's light and slightly sweet smelling to me. I always get complimentswhen I use it.

I am still new to Drupal, and have not yet finished reading this book, but I am very grateful to have it. The book walks through the process of modifying or adding features to Drupal sites in a somewhat dense but highly effective manner. It covers a great deal of gound, starting with an overview of how Drupal works, to creating modules, dealing with hooks, the menu system, working with databases, users, nodes, theming, blocks, forms, filters, taxonomy, caching, jQuery, localization, security, optimization, and best practices in development (and I've skipped a few chapters!) It also includes a database table reference, and a useful list of resources. Some reviewers have criticized this book for not following standards and for various errors. I'm not qualified to comment on that, other than to say I can't imagine doing many of the things this book goes over without having it at hand as a reference. Drupal's online documentation is helpful in a pinch, but I don't find it very usable as a learning tool. If you're not comfortable with PHP, you should study that before attempting this book. If you're a designer or a content editor, you'll probably find this book way over your head. If you're brand new to Drupal, I would suggest O'Reilly's "Using Drupal" rather than this book as a starting point. But if you are comfortable reading and writing code and want to do more with Drupal than it does out of the starting gate, this book is a must-have.

I have been programming for years, but new to PHP and Drupal. This book was (and is) exactly what I need to get things done. It's pretty complete -- I think the entire Drupal 6 API is discussed. It's well organized. It has a good index (!!), and it has non-trivial examples that work you through to the end of the topic. I am struggling in some cases -- Drupal's greatest strength is the number and scope of its contributed modules, and this book does not address them. However, there are some modules that are effectively part of core Drupal (or ones that will be soon). Most modules are poorly documented and have a few bugs or limitations -- as a new Drupal developer, I have found it hard to know how to isolate problems -- in modules, and in my own code. One module, briefly discussed (Devel) is a huge help, but very little is written about it. While I understand that a book like this cannot cover everything, a section on practical debugging, testing, problem isolation and so on would have done wonders for me. Still the book is a must have for me.

This is honestly one of the best books in the field of technology I have ever read. It is chock full of information without rambling on and on. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has administered Drupal sites in the past and wishes to bring their Drupal knowledge to the next level by learning how to use the most advanced features of Drupal and related systems (Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc).

I was hoping to find helpful information on how to roll out a Drupal website, not build a new Drupal module. Probably my mistake.

I couldn't get very far into this book for two reasons alone. 1. The spelling errors and fragmented sentences are ridiculous. 2. Code examples don't work. What????? I'm glad I didn't spend cash on this book and just got the online version through safari.

Reviews

Some of the code examples given do not run properly any longer. For instance if you try to use the \b command for printf they speak about in chapter 5 it simply doesn't work. It adds the numbers to the end of your value instead of backing up and replacing them like it says it should. (For example 50\b5 should give a value of 55, not 505 which is the output in the current version of xCode.) It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence about finishing the book when some of the basic the code doesn't compile properly. I bought this book used so it wasn't a huge loss, but I was less then impressed.

When it comes to technical books, Apress makes some of my favorite and most useful books. Being in IT, and being a proud Mac owner and Snow Leopard user for about a year now, I figured I should start learning more about developing for Mac's, so I purchased Learn C on the Mac. When purchasing this book, we must keep in mind that just learning C will not allow us to create the coolest looking applications and software for OS X. C is what C++, the more popular Java, and what Objective-C are based on. The goal of this book is teach us the basic fundamentals that prepare us for C++, Objective-C or Java, and to allow us to feel comfortable with Xcode (Xcode is where we code, it's like Visual Studio or Eclipse for the Mac). For the beginner, this book is perfect, as the author clearly states that to his surprise, he's found children and soccer moms are interested in learning how to code - so it should be really easy to follow. For those that already know VB and C#, the book will be even easier to follow along, and you'll learn the basics of developing for the Mac or iPhone. Overall, this book is an intro to programing (regardless of which language or platform you plan to use) and a guide to using Xcode for programing. Anything exercises the book has us do, are all ran and debugged in Xcode. Once you finish this book, you'll be able to understand Learn Objective-C on the Mac, also by Apress. Objective-C, based on C (this book), is what Mac's actually run on, and allows for scrolling, menu's, etc... The last step, after understanding Objective C, is to decide what you want to do. Do you want to develop for the Mac or the iPhone? If you choose Mac, Learn Cocoa on the Mac by Apress would be the right book, if you choose to learn mobile Cocoa instead, for the iPhone, you would want Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK by Apress too. Cocoa would be what we really need to learn to be able and create iPhone applications and software as we know it today. Anyways, I don't think it'll matter if your a beginner, or already a developer (non C or Java), you will likely learn from this book. Sure, Java developers might be able to review too, and learn how to use Xcode, but if your already developing in C, Java you might be ready to move on to Objective-C. Have fun learning, and remember, this is not a PC only world anymore!!

As someone who has never programmed on the Mac or in C, I found this book to be a godsend. The author starts with the preliminary steps for getting started with Xcode on the Mac, and then takes you across to the language itself. I liked the engaging and simple style in which it is written. To a newcomer to C, even a simple "hello World" program in C appears terrifying as it is always surrounded by a host of arcane statements that make no sense. The author tackles this situation in a pedagogically sound manner. The author gets the reader to focus on the central concepts that matter in the program code rather than all the distracting details. The book builds up gradually and gives you a solid platform for going on to Objective C. Highly recommended. Thanks form a grateful programmer !

Very Good Book simple and easy also good for who konws C and need some abount Mac world and Xcode. Simple English good for strangers

We at the iPhone Boot Camp [...]have three day intensive workshops in iPhone development in eleven cities. We selected this book as recommended reading material to prepare the students for the workshop. We've read all the book on the subject and feel this book is one of the best ones out there in the marketplace. The authors explain how to develop for the iPhone in very clear terms and it's helped our students learn some challenging programming concepts. With the right preparation for the workshops such as reading this book and the workshops themselves with hand on training, exercises and lots of Q & A with the instructors, all longtime Mac developers our students have been able to develop their own apps for the iPhone store

Reviews

This book is a great tool for someone starting out with iPhone programming. I've found it to be very helpful but it doesn't have everything I'd like to know in it. It's pretty easy to follow along with the example applications.

This book has wonderful example code, that is fairly simple to type in. The language is easy to read and things build from simple to more complex. It is not a book about Objective-C however. Another book must be purchased for that. By the end of this book, though, every reader should have a very good knowledge of the iPhone SDK and how to exploit it to create your own programs. Code in the book works great, no issues of code not making sense. There have been a few changes to the Xcode interface that are different from the book, but that should be expected. All-in-all this is a great book for starters. I am looking forward to reading the second book in the series about iPhone programming.

I've looked through many beginning iPhone development books and I can say this is the best one out there. I would prefer a big, thick, Deitel-style textbook though. I don't think there's anything like that out there for iPhone development. You should know some basic programming in C, C++, Java, or Objective-C(preferred), before you tackle this book. Otherwise, you will likely be confused. I recommend you learn the basics of Objective-C first too, though people with C, C++, Java experience may be able to understand the code. Apress has a decent book on Objective-C. This book covers every topic you need to learn to start developing iPhone applications and explains the basics of Xcode and the iPhone SDK. It's a by example type book. You learn by writing actual applications. There are plenty of screenshots that help you stay on the same page. Now, the bad things about this book. First, there is a quite a lot of errata. This isn't uncommon in programming books, but this book has more errata than usual. I think they cut corners putting out a new edition and forgot to update some of the code and check for other errors. Again, this is typical of programming books. They really should have had a programmer actually go through the book and type in the code, etc. before sending this off to print. I guess they couldn't afford the time and money to do this? Fortunately, there is an online forum with other readers of this book posting corrections. Secondly, the explanation of concepts and code is somewhat brief. Sometimes, you just have to look at the code and try to figure out what it does or just accept that it works. In conclusion, this book is easy to read, well organized and will teach you how to get started developing iPhone applications by example. The typeface and design is easy on the eyes. You will likely have to look back at the code of the programs in this book when you start writing your own programs. You should read some other iPhone development resources also to supplement your knowledge, because the explanation of concepts and code is brief at times. The errata is somewhat annoying, but there's a companion forum with corrections. I don't know of a better iPhone development book out there, which means that there is no "excellent" iPhone dev book, yet. Start with this book as a primer, then try writing some programs that you would like to make. Look back at the programs you wrote while going through this book, unless you have a photographic memory. Check out other resources too and ask questions in online forums when you run into problems. I have found that the best way to learn a programming language/SDK/etc. is to write programs you really want to write. You will have extra motivation to find the answers to get your program completed and learn the language at the same time. After going through this book, check out The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone 3.0 SDK (2nd Edition) for more, in depth coverage of development for the iPhone. It's more of a reference book than a how to book.

I've 30+ years of software design/development experience. I read at least 10-12 technical books a year. In those that deal directly with software development I've nearly always found errors within the examples. With that said, I have been amazed at the accuracy within this book. Hats off to the authors for a job well-done! Now, I will admit that some of the screen shots in the book are a bit different than what I see in my Xcode environment. I keep my Mac development environments up to date so I expected to encounter some differences but thus far none have been difficult to overcome. With respect to some of the other reviewer's comments regarding this not being a "beginners" book... I have prior experience (5 years assembly language and 15 years C/C++) with languages that are close to the Objective-C syntax. (The last 10 years have been all Java and quite frankly I have enjoyed the return to a language that allows pointer manipulation.) But, I did read/study Stephen Kochan's book "Programming in Objective-C 2.0". It provides a solid foundation in the syntax and memory management and should prepare you for the iPhone development presented in this book. Working through the examples in Kochan's book reawakened the "old" C skill's quicker than I thought possible and has made the iPhone development easier to comprehend. It's been "fun" to step out of the Java world for a new adventure. If you don't have the C language back ground then I would suggest getting Kochan's book. It's a great introduction and coupled with the information/resources available on Apple's web-site you should soon feel comfortable with the language and the examples/problems presented in "Beginning iPhone 3 Development" should start to "click".

If your completely new to iphone developing I suggest you skip this book. With every SDK update these books become instantly outdated if you depend on them to give you word for word, line by line help. As soon a you run across a section of the book that is no longer current like the last line on page 133 your screwed. I'm new to all this so i'm pretty ignorant on Objective C and everything else that has to do with programming. Out of the three tutorials in this book I went thru so far I only got one to work. I copied word for word the code as they show in the book..only to get a half a dozen errors, which immediately stopped me from progressing in that chapter. I would love to see someone come out with a book that actually has a technical support number that you can call (at a reasonable cost..say $100.00 for unlimited support for 6 Months) This is the only way I could have someone help me when I hit a road block. As soon as Apple changes one page in their SDK software and your following along in this book, its like coming to a canyon and the bridge is gone. With no help in site. I'm going to be looking for an online class to take or a community college course to take some where...I need hand holding.

I read the previous addition but this book was given to me by my principal. It totally changed (and improved) my classroom management. Where I was struggling to get student attention and focus them and "threatening" them, now I have a plan...As a music teacher, I've been through some classes from august to mid-year (as I write this review) and not had to discipline ONCE!!!

I am a 14 yr teacher and have taught from 6th grade through doctoral students (not in education). He gives many "to do's" without considering the cost to the teacher. He tells teachers that if you don't have students' names on desks with something to do when students enter the room, you have lost the students for the YEAR and that you are an ineffective teacher. Never mind that a teacher may have 200 students and doesn't get their class list until the morning of the first day of school. He frequently implies that if one doesn't teach with his methods, one is an ineffective teacher. Fred Jones needs to be taken with a grain of salt. With Harry Wong you will need a block of salt.

Very useful and informative! Exactly what I learned in other classes but with more incite.

This book contains tons of practical information that education classes seem to pass right by. I actually like that it's a bit "homemade" looking. And I appreciate the "motivational speaker" aspect of it. I think a great teacher should be in part a motivational speaker too. I used the "Give me Five" technique for my class my very first year five years ago and not only does it work, but other teachers have asked to use my signage for it in their class. All of a sudden I'm a school leader on creating good classroom behavior! I think this book is a very good investment.

This book is very important for the first day of school. If you want to become a teacher of any sort, buy this book! Some of Wong's ideas are a little strong for my taste, however so many of these ideas are so amazing, they over look the less appealing ones. Wonderful book, easy to read, FULL of important information.

I love Paula! This book is good by all means, but I was looking for recipes with less indrigients and more items that I might have instock in the kitchen.

Received the cookbook very quickly and is such an incredible "Food Bible"....Use it often. Was a Christmas Present to myself,

I bought this cookbook as a Christmas gift for my mother. She loves Paula Deen and her cooking. It has some awesome recipes from Paula as well as members of her family. If you are a fan of Paula Deen and of down home cooking, then this cookbook is for you.

If I had looked at the recipes in this book, i would not have purchased it. For instance, her fudge calls for bread crumbs... what is up with that? Most of these recipes are not "everyday" type of recipes. I guess if you are really into different things, then this cookbook might be for you. I like the "family" style about the book, however.

I purchased 15 of The Deen Family Cookbooks as Christmas gifts this year. Everyone in my office loved them (and I got them at a great price through Amazon.com). I actually need to purchase some additional copies.

This is a must have for any teacher to keep in their bag of tricks. Whether you have students work independantly or as a whole class these quick vocabulary exercises breath energy back into students between teaching lessons. I actually tear out the pages and slip them into sheet protectors. Then I let the students work independantly with expo markers. They always want to know when we can do more!

I have both the 1-2 and 2-3 versions of this workbook. I teach 2nd grade. I like this idea; however, the 1-2 is too easy for my students and the 2-3 is too difficult. There are some fairly obscure words on the 2-3 version...

I bought this book for my girls, ages 5, 7 and 8. Of course it's a little too difficult for my 5 yr old, so she gets help from her sisters, and it's sometimes too easy for the older two, but we plan to get the next step up when we are done with this one. This is how we use it: I'll say the first word at the bottom of the ladder and ask one of them to write the word for me on a dry erase board. Then I'll give the clue for the next word and have another one of my daughters change the word on the dry erase board to make the new word, and so on and so on. They beg me to play word ladders. It's a ton of fun for all of us, and also a great learning activity.

I teach resource special ed, and it is always a challenge to find something that the students LIKE to do. This is it! Everyday we "do a ladder". I give help and prompting based on the students need. It is easy to tailor this for each student. It improves their vocabulary and teaches them how to think. I have used this series with students from 2nd grade through 5th grade. I LOVE this series.

My 1st graders LOVE these! They are great for challenging high kids and to do together as a class! You can add letter tiles also and make it a center if you have them.

Got these for my grandson's 4th birthday. I bought through Amazon, but order was fulfilled by Disney Store. I've gotten used to my free 2-day delivery, so it seemed like these took a long time, but they did arrive in the time-frame given when I ordered them. My grandson LOVES them and he looks absolutely adorable in them. They seem well made and the colors are bright. He looks just like Woody when he wears them!

Reviews

My 5 year old just loves toy story and worked hard to save his money for this kit. He was not disappointed. Fun to put together. Fun to play with. The Buzz and Woody guys are just sooo cute.

I went to goodwill and I saw something Lego. I did not think that it would be Toy Story, yet alone have all the pieces. But as I got close my hopes grew thinking it WAS Toy Story. I picked it up and it was! I wanted to make sure it had ALL the pieces so I opened it and saw that NONE of the bags had been opened! Somebody had pretty much bought it, took it home, opened it, closed it, and took it to goodwill. so now I have a $20 set that I got for $10! It is a pretty cool set! The only bad thing is the eyes pop off alot. But, the motor action is great! It flies! It will go even faster if you have a wood floor!

Looks just like the movie - my kid loves these legos, some of the best looking legos I have seen.

While we love Legos in our house, I was disappointed in RC. I had to super glue on Buzz's helmet, the back fin, the body of the car and the front bumper pieces. It is super cool that it takes off when you pull it back, but if RC goes too fast, it all falls apart... hence the super glue. Once it was all glued, it worked great and my son (6 years old) loves it!

I bought this set and put it together in about fifteen minutes with my daughter. We were very excited when we got the set, because it comes with both a Woody and a Buzz mini figure, as well as the RC Car. After putting it together, the RC car was surprisingly fast, and also incredibly fragile. The slightest mishandling will cause the car to fall apart. Buzz's visor suffers from the same problem. The RC car is also kind of small. Overall, this is a neat set, though it seems like it should have been a little cheaper. You are basically paying twenty dollars for two mini figures, since the car is going to fall apart so often, you'll probably just leave it alone. This set is recommended to fans of Toy Story, especially since it is the only way to get both Woody and Buzz in one set.
