5 Stars Hurray for Lego Duplo Trains!
There is nothing more exciting than putting the Lego Duplo Thomas series together with my 2.5 year old. The bridge is a bit complicated to figure out at the beginning but it helps to keep the box for a few days to look at the picture. Now we can put it together in no time. It not only lets him practice hand-eye coordination but teaches him how three dimensional objects fit together. Great toy, especially when you have other parts of the Thomas series to add on to it.

5 Stars Excellent addition to duplo train sets
The bridge is an excellent addition to our duplo train set. Both our children – nearly two and three – squeal with delight when the train comes over the bridge. I think the product is not available in the US at the moment – it is available overseas – but I hope that Lego in the US will bring it in again. It is alot of fun. Hint – cut out the picture of the train from the box so you can remember how to put it together (there are no instructions in the box).

5 Stars Fun toy
I purchased this along with the push train set and it has given my son endless hours of play. It is easy to construct and works very well with the train set.

Complete instructions included.

1 Star Disapponting
We love Legos and K’nex so we were excited about a new building toy that would work with both. We were so excited about the product, we bought a few sets to build on vacation. After building a couple of things, we were so disapponted with the system we gave it away. Pieces are difficult to put together, break easily and create flimsy final products.

5 Stars Great Toy
This is an awesome toy for kids who like to create. I like it even more than I do Legos and K’nex. It is limitless in its diversability and its ability to use recyled items (popsicle sticks, plastic grocery bags, empty water bottles, and others) make it even better for teaching children to use their imagination. Even my three-year-old is building awesome things.

1 Star Don’t waste your money
I bought this for my K’nex obsessed son because they supposedly work with K’nex. I suppose they do, but they BREAK. In fact they break ALL the time! Evidently it’s something the manufacturer is quite aware of because there’s an illustration in the instruction book about how you can use them in their new forms when they break!

My son decided to stick with his K’nex and I’m out an Uber lot of money.

5 Stars Uber Cool!
My boys have been entranced with this building set (they have the starter and uberpult). They are dedicated legomaniacs, but UberStix have expanded their repertoire considerably. And I love the several pp in the instructions that are dedicated to “if this piece breaks, it can now be utilized in the following ways. . .!” A very new way of thinking for a toy company! (But none have broken yet!)

Disney by Washburn Hannah Montana 3 4 Scale Electric Guitar

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Hannah Montana Washburn 3/4 size guitar
I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years, and I’m very impressed with this guitar! The neck is very similar to my San Dimas Charvel (no kidding!) in that it’s very slim and low profile. Perfect for little hands. My daughter is 7 and she loves this guitar. I plugged it in to my Marshall Vintage Modern and was amazed at the pro sounds I was able to coax out of it. The pickups are wired so that when the switch is in the middle, the pickups are out of phase and it sounds like a wah wah pedal cracked half-way open a-la Michael Schenker. The pickups do not sound like single coils although they appear to be. I replaced the tuning keys with some grovers, but other than that, this thing rocks. I might even buy one for me!

5 Stars Pretty Cool
Bought this for my 5 year old daughter and she loves it. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years, know alot about Washburn guitars, they make some really good guitars, this is no exception. But remember this is a beginners guitar, don’t expect a $2000 and up guiatr, it is what it is. Had to do a little adjusting(lower the stings)and it was good to go. Looks really good too.

2 Stars Poor Packaging
This item shipped quickly and arrived on time. It was very poorly packaged. It came in a huge box, which was barely taped shut. the guitar itself was in a smaller box that has been ripped open and not taped shut again. The smaller box was damaged. The guitar was still OK, despite the lousy shipping. The graphics are different then the picture here. In fact, the bridge covers up the N and A in MONTANA. It says “Hannah Monta” on the guitar!!!!

5 Stars Great guitar!
We bought this guitar for my six-year old daughter on her birthday this summer. It’s a mini version of an adult electric guitar. Its a perfect size for her to handle and she loves it!

4 Stars Fun for my little rockstar!
We bought this for our 9 year old daughter’s birthday. It was a hit, she absolutley loves it, we were impressed with how pretty it is. I only wish it came with a better amp, we are looking forward for our daughter to begin guitar lessons in mid-spring.
