 My son loves this toy September 4, 2010

My 6 year old son has had this toy for 9 months and still plays with it all the time. The sounds and possible combo's make it a great play toy. Well made toy. My only regret is that they didn't have these when I was kid.

I have two of these for my kids, and they are well built and keep them happy for hours. Plenty of peices to take off and put on for personalization, and the pieces have held up well over time with my 4 and 7 year olds. Great toy!!
Everyone Loves It July 27, 2010

Bought for my sons 4th birthday. He loved it immediately but it took about a week before he could handle all of the configuration changes on his own. That part of it seems perfect to me though, as he's developing some coordination with his hands while playing with this toy but it's not too hard for him to do, which would make him uninterested or have us changing it all the time. His little friend also loves it, I'm sure his parents will end up buying this too. My older teen son likes to play with it also, which gives the 4 year-old an occasional play partner (he will even gladly let the older brother use the better gun cuz he's happy to have him playing guns with him). Heck, I even play with it with him sometimes! All of the visiting teens like it too. You get the picture, everyone likes it. I won't give a description of what it does because that's already been covered, but I will say that it seems to be a very solid toy with sturdy parts and all the connections go into place snug and secure. I think a kid would have to pretty much be trying to break this for it to get damaged. BTW, one thing I didn't read on the use of it is that you get a certain amount of shots before it starts shooting much slower. At this point you need to "reload" by taking the ammo clip out and re-inserting it. One thing about price, I paid 38 which is what I saw it for at Walmart (before taxes too, of course). It's now a few bucks cheaper. It's a bit on the expensive side but maybe still worth it with the quality and fun-value. And if you can get the current promo offer (Capt Rex helmet or Light Saber) I think it's a great deal.
A Blaster Worth Having June 6, 2010

Similar to the "Ultimate Lightsaber" kit that Hasbro released in recent years, this "Ultimate Blaster" kit is something that I wish I had when I was younger---and something that my son is calling his "favorite birthday present." While not completely universal, parts can be removed and swapped around to some degree to create a number of different weapons---and each configuration has a unique blaster sound effect in addition to cool "lock and load" sound effects as you assemble your custom weapon. Surprisingly, the pieces stay together well enough so as not to fall apart during play thanks to a nice "insert and twist" locking system and some discrete sliding lock switches. There are also nice sequential LED lights on the barrel section to simulate blaster fire and energy-charging. It's not completely accurate as far as a "movie replica" but the unique play value makes this a very cool toy for the average kid. My only complaint (not Hasbro's fault since I believe there are regulations on toy guns) is that it's not molded in black like a real blaster---I've got some spraypainting to do for my son!

This was my 3 yr old's favorite gift from Santa. It has a fantastic set of blaster noises that change depending on which parts are connected; really smart design, makes the kids feel like a real clone trooper. He has been rough on this as well, and it's still going strong.
Must have toy for any Star Wars fan.
