Pretend Play Toys - Product Reviews

CreativeCritic - (January 06, 2005) ASSEMBLY: The burner hole's too deep. When we followed instructions & screwed the burner base to the counter, there was too big a gap between burner base & top. Thus, the batteries fell out, so the boiling/frying sounds didn't work. My husband easily fixed this by putting the burner top & base together as unit and then dropping it into the counter hole. Even though it's not screwed into the counter, it won't come out unless it's pried out with a screwdriver. The 'optional’ power screw driver is mandatory. FEATURES: There's no dishwasher; we ignore the cookies on the oven's decal and use the oven for both baking and washing. The right-hand drawer has no stop; it accidently g

kiddingaroundtoronto - (June 30, 2006) Inspire your children to use the kitchen and enjoy cooking with this well received toy. I have two kids and it has provided countless hours of amusement. They 'cook' and 'bake' for us and are very proud of their 'plastic products'.

SusieMoss - (October 03, 2008) My daughter bought the console with her own money having saved up for months and was very dispappointed to discover that she needed to buy magic cards to do all the things she was led to believe she could do.

nerfdude - (08/22/2009) The best tactic for this would be a Vulcan's nest. You just have to swivel it on its tripod. This weapon alone may not be the best, but with a side arm (I'd recommend the crossfire, that way you get a good blaster, a shield and eye gear, and a bulletproof vest! (I play Mil-Sim., so bare with me...). And I recommend also getting the Extreme air's ammo refill pack. The darts that come in it fit better than any Nerf dart I have ever seen!) and a secondary (I'd recommend the buzz bee double shot or rapid fire rifle), it's great! I'm sorry about the 12 year old's gun from above, but that rarely ever happens, and you have to expect 1 or 2 duds in a batch when dart guns get this big.

Christiemom - (06/14/2009) Purchased from TJMaxx. Clearly beat up box; marked as clearance. But 3.5 yr old really wanted it. (This is not common for me to buy her a toy.) Ours does not have an ATM card, so we can not open the lower cash register drawer. This toy takes REAL dollars & coins!! (Oops. Can't get her $1 out. Tough lesson to learn!) She's already play with it for 6 hrs in 2 weeks. I'm now on the hunt for a NEW ATM toy. LCD screen is neat. Buttons make electronic sounds. Not an annoying toy. We've had lots of creative play in our home. Excellent!

formerNERFlover - (02/15/2009) We are returning this toy. My 12 year-old son could only fire 1 or 2 darts until it would get stuck. He tried it many times. He chose to spend his money on it and was very disappointed.
