Vehicle of Mass Destruction RC Robots Review

VMD_robots_013_001-7adisclosureWe recently were able to review the Vehicle of Mass Destruction RC Robots or VMD.  My 12 son and his best friend road tested the Remote Controlled robot: Cannon Commando and Missile Strike Vehicle.  This was a fun review the boys were about  opening adding batteries, because they could not get playing with them quick enough..  Then setting up things to shooting and destroying was “Awesome”  their words.  They also were nice enough to attack me.  Both Remote controlled robot Vehicles can ride in the grass so they are truly great  different terrain.

VMD Cannon Commando RC (blue one) holds foam darts and shoots them with forces. Up to 55 feet.  So you can do a sneak attack of darts form a distance.Rc Robots

VMD Missile Strike  Rc (red one)has 3 Areo Dynamic Missile that fire up to 65 Feet.VMD_robots_013_001-5

Check out the Video review the boys did.

These robots are a big hit with both the boys.  The both spent hours playing with them.  The remotes have stations so they you switch the signals and take over the others vehicles.  They had a great time take over the robots and shooting at each other.  Since My son has had his home there has been many sneak attacks.

In the video I said the Robots were $89  I was incorrect they are $74.99 but now on Sale at Khols VMD RC Cannon Commando for $64.99  so check them out.

Weird and Wacky Contraption Lab Review and Giveaway

kids gameWeird and Wacky Contraption Lab is a great toy.  It kept my kids entertained for hours.  I took it out the 1st time to entertain my nieces, nephews and my children. The played in teams and each team had about 1/2 each to play with it. The ages were from 8-15 and all wanted to build.  Think of the old game mouse trap but build on a vertical and it actually worked.  It is all about the building no board game play required.kids came peice

The Kit comes with 2 boards that stand about 2 feet and 60 pieces and 4 balls. The pieces attach with a loop and stick (velcro type substance to the felt boards) .  You build the ball puzzle trying to get the flying pig launch in the end. We left he set up in the living room and my kids would make slight modification over the week.flying pig game peice

Here is a video my son did explaining how it works.

The Cost is $39.99 at smartlabtoys.com or amazon.

Winner of top toy Pick 2012!

Ages 8 up –  My daughter loved it as much as my son!

You have to push the pieces on firmly and also it takes time to get the peices lined up to shoot so that is why I do recommend following the age level and 8 on up.

Note: Watch the metal balls with younger kids.  the ball tend to roll fast under stuff.  Like the fridge. (try a maganet on a ruler to get the balls out from under the fridge- my sons advice)

Best thing no batteries need for this toy just problem solving skills.

Wiggles 3d Game review

army vs alliens gameWiggles 3d was nice enough to send me 2 games to Review.  I has a guest writer review the games and let me know what she thought of the 2 games. Army vs. Aliens and Space Checkers.  Enjoy the Review of wiggles newest games.

Army vs. Aliens Game   Review:

Army vs. Aliens is made by Wiggles 3D. Army vs. Aliens is a game of luck and strategy.

–          2 players, ages 8+

–          SRP: $15.99

It is for two people to and one person is the Army and the other is the Aliens. There are two strategy cards. Each person rolls their dice at the same time and whoever army or alien is stronger, wins the battle. There a four different game play zones. There are attack, rally, winning and draw. There are different variation in play, my son (who has Aspergers) had decided to have his sister play with him. They each rolled the dice and separate them into different categories and used the card to determine which dice they could eliminate.

It is a challenging fame to play. But my children had a blast playing it.kids playing a board game

Space Checkers Game Review:

Space Checkers is made by Wiggles 3D. It is for 2-4 players.

–          2-4 players, ages 6+

–          SRP: $15.99

The object of the game is to collect 10 opponents’ pawns, before any other person. Players pick which space alien they want to be Ixithan Empire- green, Kanaloan Alliance-yellow, Mechanoid Armada- blue, or Formic Coomcine- red. It is played just like checkers. There is a “moving in the wild area”. Where a pawn can come any direction no matter what the dice says. When your pawn is at the end of a playing area  and has more spaces to move you can “wrap” to the opposite side to finish their moves up. So you win the game by being the first to collect ten pawns from your opponents.

Disclosure:  The games were provided for review by Wiggles 3d .  The opinions in these post are true and honest.

LeapPad Review

So we recently had our Learn share, create Leapfrog party. We had 5 adults and 11 kids attend ranging from 3- to 11. One 3 year old and one 11 year old. We received the leappad and leapfrog tag to introduce the product to my friends and learn about the product. I have to say I was really impressed and so were my friends. We have owned many leappad products. My son had a Leapster that was handed down to my daughter. When he got a Digi so we were not stranger to the leapfrog family of products. The leappad: I gave the leap pad to my daughter the night before the party, to learn about it as we took a drive. My daughter is 6 and was able to use the leap pad without any assistance. My guest and I were impressed with the graphics. The Leappad worked the same way an adult tablet of computer tab would work with motion movement, finger and stylus. The leappad had a game called Rolly Polly Picnic where you moved the pad and moved the bug to get food for the picnic think maze ball gave but animated. Another of my daughters favorite was the Twisty Tracks using the styles you tap train tracks with a pen to get to a train tracks to head to a bank. The kids are rewards with short education films. One of the other Leap Pad apps that played to many of the little boys at the party was the Cars game. They boys were entranced by Mater and Lighten McQueens voice and them reading a story . Then once the page was finished they got to play a racing game. I learned from the leapfrog site on Line there are many Character games and apps for the kids to play with. Including Disney princesses, .. and more. So great that your kids can learn from some of there favorite child characters. The leap Pad also played full length video, we watched the Letter Factory on the leap pad. Great for travel, and yes they have a jack for head phones. Another amazing feature of the Leap Pad was the Camera /video feature.. My daughter and girl friends loved the fact that they could record their own TV show themselves. They were recording there parents as well. My daughter kept on introducing the leapster to her adoring fans. My daughter is a true camera hog so this is perfect for her. You can buy a many different apps and also buy an app card for a gift. The application are downloadable or you can buy them at the local toy store. The Leap Pad takes 4 AA batteries to run.

Leapfrog TAG: The other system that was sent to us for the Leap Share create party was the tag system . The leap tag system was also a fun hit the kids including the older kids could not put it down they. We were not unfamiliar with the tags system but new to us was the world map. All the kids and the adult conjugated around the map. The one side was a game where you located the country they other was the country were you learned facts and Phrases in the countries native language. My daughter kept on say Bonjor Mommy every morning. My 11 year old son learned location which helped during schools geography lessons. Both the parents and kids loved the fact side of the map. And the borders of many countries have changed. The kids also used the leap frog book which are great for teaching kids how to read. My daughter has used the leapfrog tag book to read every morning in her room since the party. We had a great time at the party the kids love the leap frog cupcakes, leapfrog gelatin with gummy worms, and froggy grapes. The kids loved the party and most all the leap frog products. To check out more photo from my leapfrog party Disclosure: I received all the leap frog products from leapfrog for free for this part. The opinions stated in this post are of my own.
