More durable than I expected. My newly turned 5 year old boy got this for his birthday 2 weeks ago. He already owns the deluxe Omnitrix and has had so much fun with that. Since Alien Force has started he has coveted the new watch obsessively and so despite misgivings I bought it for him. I was quite disappointed with it at first as compared to the deluxe the strap on the Ultimate is awful. It's a Plastic strap with bits sticking out that you have to force into the holes. There was no way that my little boy could get it on himself and even I had trouble for the first week. It falls off more than the deluxe ever did with it's thick velcro strap and although I am now better at putting it on him I still wish it had a better strap. The watch comes with one Alien to stick on the top, Swampfire. When I first saw the little figure it looked so flimsy that I doubted he would make it through his first day of rough play with my son but, to be fair, 2 weeks later and lots of drop and bangs and he's still fine. As to what the watch actually does..... very little. The plastic figures come off the top so you can change them. You get a new topper for the watch with every Alien Force figure you buy. My son recently bought Humungosaur and the watch topper that came with that looks much sturdier. They are a bit fiddly to change but despite my son forcing them on and off they haven't broken yet so presumably fairly tough. You press a button which pops the figure up then when child is ready to transform they press it down again and it plays some transformy music and a voice of whichever alien in is speaks it's name "huuummmuunggoossaaur!!" That as far as I can tell is pretty much it. It could have been better designed in my opinion and with the big bit of plastic sitting on top you can't really hit it in a Ben10 fashion - have to push it in round the outsides. I have given it 4 stars because my son loves it and hasn't managed to break it yet which is the best I can hope for these sorts of toys really.
BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE - ULTIMATE OMNITRIX My 5 year old son said (exact words) I like it it's good! - He is a huge Ben 10 fan and wants to wear his Ultimate Omnitrix as soon as he wakes up and I have to prize it off him when he goes to bed!!!!
No impressive Ben 10 Alien Force We have purchased this watch to reward my 6 yr old being well behave. We are very disappointed with the function as it should in the instruction given. The button which is supposed to suppress and make a sound did not work. We since tried another one off the shelf and result it the same. We are made to believe that the toy has not performed as it specified. Although it is only a toy but for over £15 you will expect it to function as it stated.

Very stylish - just watch the size. Very stylish Batman outfit with great cowl/cape and those funky 'overshoes' material boots. Not much else to say except watch the size. 50" is a pretty tall 5 year old.
Holy Mackerel! Wham! Splat! Bam! Kerpow! That's the sound of Grandad being beaten up by his grandson! Fabulous outfit - but who is wearing it?

Ben 10 Toys - 10 Things Every Parent Needs to Know

"Ben 10 is without doubt the hottest boys' brand of the moment". The Ben 10 10cm and 15cm Action Figures were selected as the "2009 Toy Of The Year" and the Ben 10 brand also scooped the "Boys' Range Of The Year". So what are Ben 10 toys all about and are they worth buying?
1. What are Ben 10 Toys?
Ben 10 is the superhero from the Cartoon Network show of the same name. Young fans all over the world are going wild for the merchandise relating to their hero and he now has his own toy range. The watch like object called the Omnitrix gives Ben his super powers and is central to the toy range. It allows him to transform into 10+ different superhero aliens, who form the action figure toys available.
Ben 10: Alien Force is the sequel to the original show. The trusty Omnitrix has evolved, resulting in new aliens to transform into. The toy range has been updated accordingly with a new Ultimate Omnitrix and new alien action figures.
2. For what age group are Ben 10 Toys suitable?
The range is primarily aimed at boys aged 4 to 12.
3. Are Ben 10 Toys any good?
Ben 10 toys are exciting, good value toys that entertain and inspire creativity. They are realistic to the cartoon, well detailed and well made. In this time of financial crisis it is all about trusted brands and the makers of the Ben 10 range, Bandai, are the world's third largest producer of toys. If you are looking for high quality, durable, multi-purpose toys that can be played with in different ways - Ben 10 delivers.
4. How much do Ben 10 Toys cost?
You can get some good action figures starting from about £5.
The best 'Omnitrix' watches cost between £15 and £20.
The new Alien Force creature vehicles cost about £15.
The video games start at about £15 depending on platform.
You can find a nice selection of books for around £3.
You could perform a great Ben 10 bedroom make-over for around £60, to include curtains, a duvet cover & pillowcase, wall stickers and a lightshade.
5. Which is the best Ben 10 Toy?
The must have toys for any Ben 10 fan are an Omnitrix and some action figures.
The Omnitrix comes in many different versions so beware of the cheaper forms that are less playable. The two best Omnitrix watches are the Deluxe Omnitrix and the new Alien Force Ultimate Omnitrix. They are realistic to the cartoon series and are ideal for superhero role play.
The best value for money in action figures are the 10cm versions as they are poseable, well detailed and hard wearing but also cheap enough to buy a few. Ensure you are buying the 'right' alien though as your Ben 10 fan will undoubtedly have their favourites. Take advantage of multi figure packs to get your Ben 10 fan's collection started. The Creation Chamber figures also offer great creative play allowing children to mix things up and make new Ben 10 aliens.
If you don't mind shoot-em up games, the Ben 10 video games are great. They are fairly easy to play, challenging but not too much so. There's great sound and story line and you have to solve problems. The best bits for young Ben 10 fans are:
another player can join or leave and help at any point in the game; and
you start from where you run out of life so you don't have to go back to the beginning of a level.
6. Which is the worst Ben 10 Toy?
The playsets are typically expensive, cumbersome and have too many parts that get lost. Generally they also require you to buy the rest of the product range to use with it, so are often not worth the money. The adverts and the packaging are always very tempting but once the box is opened and the first play frenzy is over, disappointment sets in.
The cheapest versions of the Omnitrix (the Omnitrix FX and the Alien Viewer) have limited appeal. Check out my other article "Ben 10 Omnitrix Watches - The Differences Every Parent Needs To Know" for more detailed information.
With the action figures you need to avoid the smallest and the largest. The Transforming Alien Rocks or figures from Planetary Powder sets are tiny, mono-coloured and badly detailed. At the other end of the scale, the 30cm Epic Alien Figures are not poseable and made of inferior quality plastic.
7. What toys and merchandise does the Ben 10 Toy range include?
As well as the Omnitrix and Action Figures, the Ben 10 range includes:
games and puzzles;
vehicles;
playsets;
DVDs;
video games;
clothes & shoes;
school equipment;
dressing up costumes;
arts & crafts;
sports equipment;
furniture;
party supplies;
bedroom accessories;
books.
8. What educational value does the Ben 10 Toy range provide?
The toys encourage imaginative play with your child starting as Ben 10, meeting a villain and then transforming into one of the hero aliens simply by switching toys. They also help develop moral reasoning by identifying the good from the bad characters. When used to interact with other children, they will engage in cooperative and dramatic play.
9. Which toy should I buy for a child that has most of the Ben 10 Toy range already?
Take a look at some of the sports equipment, such as the skateboard or the scooter.
10. Where can I buy Ben 10 Toys online?
Everywhere! Ben 10 is so popular you can find the toys for sale at most online toy retailers such as Amazon, The Toy Shop and Toys R Us.

Customer Reviews
A good toy. My little lad throughly enjoys this. He's taken our temperatures, looked in our ears, tried to choke us with the spatula and listened to our hearts. It's a good role-playing set.
Great value and perfect for little ones This is great value for money. The case and items are sturdy and it contains everything other kids medical cases do. It's not too big or bulky either and is easy to use for little ones. A bargain, my kids love it, although probably best for ages 6 and under?
Not the best but does the job I have also bought the elc and boots versions and I have to say apart from the case not having such a good lock it really is not much different, they have similar pieces inside and my 2 year old has been more than happy with it, actually it also had a a blood pressure monitor in it that the others didn't and this was actually one of the best bits for my girls so I'm happy with it and it really was great for the price.

Buying Children's Educational Toys In The UK

When you're in the UK and looking for the perfect educational toy to gift your child, or your favorite nephew, you don't have to look hard because most of the educational toys that are manufactured by the likes of LeapFrog, Hasbro, Jakks Pacific and Disney are being distributed worldwide. Access to educational toys is so open that anyone, even people from the outskirts of the UK are able to buy it if they have the resources.
Buying the right kind of toy for a child is probably as difficult as solving a major Math equation. Do you get something that he or she would appreciate for the longer term until he or she grows a little older, or do you gift something that is the "in" thing now? Given the busy times nowadays, most people would tell you to just go for the easy way and get an educational toy.
This way, you don't have to worry if the toy you're giving has sufficient value because you're sure the child will learn a lot of things from it.
First, find out if the educational toy you're thinking of buying is actually appropriate for the child you are giving it to. That is, if it's learning level coincides with the child's age range. All educational toy boxes carry this information outside, to guide you in your purchase.
Second, when in doubt, ask. Most toy stores have little information kiosks where the educational toys being sold are made accessible to the public for testing and trials. These kiosks also almost always have a representative from the toy store who will gladly explain and demonstrate what each toy can do and for what ages they are best suited.
Third, don't get carried away. While it may be tempting to buy the largest and hippest educational toy in the bunch, it would be best to, instead, buy something that will bring the greatest value to the child.
When buying educational toys in the UK, there really is no secret formula. Just get the toy that is appropriate to the child's age and base your choice on what you think would best interest him or her. If the child is into experiments, you can get him or her a science and discovery toy. If the child shows some adeptness at communication, you can get him or her a story reader or a speller.
There are many toy stores in the UK that carry brands that make educational toys. Finding the right gift shouldn't be too difficult.

Better than the deluxe for younger children.
My four year old Ben10 fan borrowed this FX Omnitrix from a friend earlier this year and loved it. It doesn't really do anything but light up and make the Ben10 noises but the sounds are very authentic and the watch seems to very satisfying to hit before you "transform". I was nervous he was going to break his friends watch before we had a chance to give it back as he is very tough on his toys and we ended up having it for about a month, in which is was played with pretty much every day. Dropped on the floor alot, bashed on the wall alot etc, but it was in the exact same condition when he gave it back so must be pretty tough.
I saw both the FX and the deluxe version on sale online recently but only the deluxe was in stock so I bought this for my son thinking that if anything it would be a bit better. For a slightly older child who can read, maybe 6 and up, it probably is better. The strap is better for a start, just a thick band of velcro so relatively easy to put on and secure once on. The watch has a black and white display. To start with you choose from normal mode, battle mode, status mode and options. Normal mode is what I put it on for my son as he can turn the dial , see the silhouettes of each different monster as he turns the dial, when he has selected which alien he wants to be he hits the watch which makes all the right noises and then different pics of that particular alien come up on the screen. After a certain amount of time, the "returningt to Ben" noise sounds and back to the original screen.
Battle mode gives an animation of ben walking which runs for a little while when a doomy noise plays and you know that a villain is approaching. You get a pic of the villain and text along the bottom saying which alien you need to turn into it, it then times you as you turn the dial to try and find the right alien and records your score which you can then look at in status mode. If you are quick enough then I think you win against the villain but I haven;t managed to yet as have only been allowed on it for about a minute.
Battle mode is lost on my not yet reading son and unfortunately he can hit the wrong buttons on the watch as he plays and ends up turning the sound off or putting it into the wrong mode and has to bring it to me to sort out. I think he would have been happier with the fx watch really despite the worse strap. Great watch for slightly older kids tho and I have had no complaints at all from my son as yet to be fair. He thinks it's the best thing ever.

Just like the real thing
Had this toy for close to a year now and it's stood the test of time in the hands of a 4 year old boy. Don't know what kind of battery it has but it seems to be going strong and the watch is very sturdy taking loads of whacks.

It makes the noise when Ben morphs into a monster and has a spinny dial to choose the monsters.

FANTASTIC!!!
I just got this for my Ben 10 collection and it was brilliant and is just like the one in the TV programme. Only one complaint...it's really loose on second from tightest strap, because when you strap it on the tightest it seems to refuse that and it takes about 5 mins to actually put it on a 10 year old...

Leading The Way!
I bought this for my son who's nearly 3 and one for a present for his friend. My son loves it and it's a brilliant, educational 1st laptop with so many excellent learning games along with a "QWERTY" keyboard (that sold it to me!) to get them use to a normal computer/keyboard. Fantastic styling and sound effects and very robust. Amazing value! Very pleased!

VTECH Cars Laptop
This has proved to be an excellent toy both for my 3 yr old who we got it for and his 9 yr old brother who passes over his DS and Playstation to get hold of it!!! Guess part of the draw is because it's "not his" but there is such a good range of games and activities that neither child gets bored - also stands up to the less than gentle "fights" over whose turn it is so expect this to be a much loved long term favourite which makes it excellent value for money too. Very impressed.

Scrabble 60th Anniversary Edition - Games & Puzzles Review

Scrabble 60th Anniversary Edition
From Mattel

Editorial Reviews

Manufacturer's Description

For 60 years Scrabble has been challenging the world with its fun, demanding and sometimes maddening word play game. This special 60th Anniversary edition is ideal for collectors and fans of the game. It comes with a translucent board along with opaque green tiles with silver lettering. The iconic tile racks have also been given a radical makeover, and the box has metallic lettering and window packaging, making it a lovely gift for Scrabble fans, or those new to the game.

Did you know Scrabble was invented in 1931 by an unemployed architect named Alfred Butts? It was quietly played by just the inventor and his friends until 1948 when it began to be manufactured and sold. Scrabble is the world's bestselling word game and once people start playing this famous word game they are usually captivated for life. Each player must make the best use of 7 letter tiles drawn at random, taking turns to form words crossword-style across the playing board. Scores are given for letter values and are boosted by premium squares on the grid. The highest score at the end wins. This is a great opportunity to update and treat yourself to a brand new Scrabble.

Customer Reviews

Poor version may look good but not functional
I bought this based on the previous positive reviews and ignored the bad one - this was a mistake. Yes Scrabble is a good game but this is a review for the 60th Anniversary edition. The board IS dark and once the pieces are down it's hard to spot the double/triple letter markers (and we have good eyesight). More annoying are the overly stylised tile holders they are unstable, fiddly and don't hold the tiles very well! The board doesn't swivel and you don't get scoring pads or timer but then this isn't a deluxe version. Overall I wish I'd bought a different version.

Brilliant Value for money
Just bought this game for my 10 year old. The board actually clips in place and does not move about as another review suggests. The pieces stay in place in the grooves. It's a lovely board game and great value for money. Would definitely recommend this purchase to everyone.

As good as the original - and better!
I've played with the original many times although this is the first set that I've owned. I like it. It's good quality and although the colour and the overall design may not appeal to traditionalists and/or people with poor eyesight, it is more functional (pieces are locked-in place by the raised edges of the grid) than the original and well worth it at the same (low) price.
