Hannah Montana Napkins...burp..... by bradshawcl Pros: works as far as napkins go
Cons: don't really match plates, could get expensive. Not too long ago, we had a Hannah Montana birthday party, and with that came the Hannah Montana Lunch Napkins. I got a pack of 16 of these over at Wal-Mart for about $2 something. I also bought the plates, but to me these napkins don't match them- the ...

Somewhere Between The Forest And The Trees:"The Two Towers" Deluxe Starter Decks Fall Short! by wlswarts Pros: Some very cool cards (especially rares), New affiliations
Cons: Serious collectibility issue (foils), Still no Gollum! In the quest to sell "The Lord OfThe Rings" Trading Card Game, Decipher tried a number of things. With the biggest expansions, they went from the usual booster packs (which are great for their randomization and the frequency of rares) and starter decks ...

Mad Gab by johnsonblue Pros: Hillarious family game

Shocking Stapler by naphtalia Pros: looks like the real thing
Cons: not safe The shop where I work part time has a shelf of "shocking" devices. Some such as the shocking pens and lighters look like the genuine article. We also carry shocking iPods, markers, calculators, cameras and candy jars. These items all look a bit off and ...

Abysmal "Star Wars" Gaming Set: "Jedi Knights" Is An Utter Waste Of Time! by wlswarts Pros: Can be found cheap enough
Cons: No rulebook, Not clear to play, Computer-generated images, Not at all collectible. Have you ever encountered a game that you've taken on the challenge of reviewing only to wonder "what's the point?" I mean, some things are just so poorly made that it's hard to muster up the energy to bother with reviewing them. That's where I am ...

The Common Set Kills An Otherwise Average "Enterprise Season One" Set! by wlswarts Pros: Decent enough writing on the backs of cards, One or two signers are good
Cons: Vastly inconsistent autograph quality, Quality control on foils, Filler autographs, Not-special chase. How do you kill a franchise like "Star Trek?" It's easier than you might think. In fact, all you have to do it turn the franchise over to people who don't care about continuity in the universe that has already been created for over thirty years and let ...

Thomas & Friends Bathtub Squirters by susidee34 Pros: colorful, interactive
Cons: ... I am a little embarrassed to admit these are one of my favorite bath time toys. Sure, they are rated for ages 18 months to 2 years but who's to say we big guys don't like a little bath fun as well? That yellow rubber ducky lacks a ...

T- Rex Dinosaur Board Game by elzora Pros: Educational, dinosaur lovers dream, kids love it
Cons: Cheaply made dinosaurs, flimsy game "board", rules of attack ultimately unfair. I care for six school aged boys in my licensed home daycare, and we have gotten into a lot of board games lately. Playing games with the kids is something that I really enjoy doing, and when Fred Meyer had a "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" black Friday sale on ...

12 volts of action packed adventure! by heather200805 Pros: Durability
Adapatation to terrain Easy construction Cons: Price (although not as bad as some) The Fisher Price Power Wheels Kawasaki Ninja Ultimate Terrain Traction vehicle is by far one of the coolest toys that you could buy for your child (according to my son). Prices normally range between 150.00-250.00 and although steep is definitely worth ...

The Accessory That Sells The Figure: Han Solo In Carbonite Still Underperforms! by wlswarts Pros: Good costuming, Generally good sculpt

Shocking Pen - Shocked They're Still Sold by naphtalia Pros: some people think they're funny.
Cons: painful. can be dangerous. 10% don't work directly from manufacturer I'm all for the occasional practical joke between friends, or even as a way to make someone you don't particularly like a bit miserable. I am the queen of all devices that create the sound (though not the odor) of flatulence. I take great pleasure in ...

The Least Inspired Of The "Shadows" Decks, "Gandalf" Is More Blase Than Blaze! by wlswarts Pros: Easy to learn, Good image quality, Fun to play
Cons: Problematic collectibility issues (foils), Impossible to make complete set from starter decks, Purpose of reboot? When Decipher decided to reboot "The Lord Of The Rings" TCG to keep the franchise alive, a lot of players and collectors were skeptical. I, actually, was pretty psyched. The sets suddenly became more practical to collect, the game became easier to play ...

Honor Fallen Firefighters With Rescue the Dalmatian by bilbopooh Pros: nice looking dog, great purpose
Cons: no poem inside the tag When I was little, one of my favorite books was a wordless story about a little white mutt who longs to be a fire dog. He does not seem qualified, and the firemen put up with him but don't really give him the time of day. Then one day, he follows the ...

Monopoly: Disney Edition Adds Some Magic to a Well Known Game by dragonfire88 Pros: Good use of Disney images. Nice game tokens.

Over the last ten years or so, many different versions of the game have been released. Most of them have been connected to movies ...

Stinger Isn't as Bad as He Sounds by bilbopooh Pros: a great choice for the creepy-crawly set
Cons: can't really stand on his own There are not many animals I find thoroughly distasteful, but every once in a while a critter comes along that elicits an involuntary shudder. One such animal is the scorpion. Luckily, I don't have to deal with them in Pennsylvania, but I've heard a ...

Commemorate Fallen Cops with Courage the Dog by bilbopooh Pros: handsome dog, great cause

It took me the better part of eleven years to get to the point where I was really comfortable sharing the room with him. I'm a dog lover, but such experiences ...
