5 Stars great goggles
Perfect fit, great look, nice seal for countless laps…can’t wait to use them in next year’s triathlon!

5 Stars Amazing
These goggles are worth the money. They don’t fog up, provide a crystal clear view, and don’t get water in them. They are the best!

5 Stars The best i have ever had!
I gotta say i haven’t owned a pair of goggles in about 5 years but these are great. No leaks, they suction cup to your eyes and have 3 adjustable nose pieces, can see great under water

5 Stars Better than I could have ever imagined!
If you haven’t purchased a new pair of goggles lately, it’s time – buy these goggle immediately! Even if you have, throw the other ones out and buy these! These goggles are more awesome than I could have ever expected. I swim outside several times a week. I used to have constant blurry vision using a similar style of goggle (women’s design with the mirrored-lense effect) from TYR. The old goggles weren’t scratched, they just seemed to have a build-up of funk, immediately after purchasing them, that didn’t go away with cleaning. I finally decided to treat myself to a new pair, and my swimming experience has now dramatically improved. The don’t leak, they shield your eyes from the sun, they never fog, they are freaking great! Also, they come with multiple size noise pieces, which is great for getting the right fit.

I keep mine in the case that they came in to avoid scratching, so I can’t comment on how scratch-resistant they are. They do leave a circle around your eyes, but I expect that from any goggle. Another thing to look out for, if you are planning to swim outside, is the color of the lense you choose. I don’t think the mirrored-effect on a clear or lightly-colored lense will be enough for outdoor swimming. I chose the black lenses, so I’m not positive about this, but it’s something to consider.

Overall, I can’t recommend these goggles enough. The price is great and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

4 Stars good quality
It’s comfortable and won’t frog as far as I can see now. I’ve been using it for about one month. Fair price.

The Settlers of Catan 5 6 Player Extension

December 19th, 2009

The Settlers of Catan 5 6 Player Extension




Now five to six players can explore and settle Catan! The 5-6 Player Expansion for The Settlers of Catan allows you to add up to two more opponents without sacrificing ease of play. Designed for five or six players, it adds even more drama to the award-winning game of discovery, settlement, conflict, and commerce. You must have The Settlers of Catan board game in order to use this extension, sold separately.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars 3 player is still the best
Without the expansion, I know 3 player has my favorite dynamics. With 5 players, one person got crowded out and was ineffectual the whole game, but I have not tried it out enough to make sure. This is a great game, though among a crowd of party people you’ll find people that really love it or are completely apathetic to the mechanics. In that way, it’s no Taboo or Pictionary.

5 Stars best game ever
I did not like playing board games as a child. It is tedious waiting for your turn, especially if there are more than three players.

now I have a family of five and there are not too many games that we can all play. This is one and since we got it we have played it several times a week. It does not take long to learn or to complete a game and yet it holds everyones attention without being too competitive. We think it is the best game we have played and tell all our friends about it. Even in this electronic age, it satisfies teenage boys and younger girls and moms and dads too. Highly recommended.

5 Stars Get it
It is definitely worth getting this, whether you already have the game or are thinking about getting it. Just remember, it doesn’t match up with the “gallery edition” of settlers.

5 Stars He LOVED it.
My grandson was delighted to have the extension package for Settlers of Catan. He has played the game, but only with 3 other people and there are always more who want to play. This was his favorite birthday present.

4 Stars Must have extension for larger group.
I was surprised that the original game only accommodates up to four players. We really enjoyed the game but always have more that four persons that want to play games. So the extension was a must. Looks like I will have to create more playing pieces myself for our 7-8 players.

4 Stars Great Toy For Independent Sitters
My 9 month old daughter loves this toy. She talks to herself in the mirror and loves the microphone and all of the buttons and music. It is very upbeat and one of the better toys I have purchased for her.

Their are 2 downsides. One is that if the baby pulls on it it can tip over. The second is that the music plays continually and does not go off on it’s own when it is not in use.

Other then that I would never trade this toy in. She adores it.

5 Stars One of the best baby toys out there!!
I would have never guessed this toy would be such a hit with my baby! (and my 2 year old likes it, too.) We’ve had it since she was about 6 months old. She is now almost a year and still spends time playing with it several times a day, every day (and she has lots of things to choose from!). Just today, she was sitting in front of it, looking at herself in the mirror and laughing. She can pull herself to standing on it without it tipping over. The songs and music are catchy and fun and she just loves to bang on the piano keys (which are connected as one big piece), the drum, and spin the ball on the guitar. The older kids sometimes play with the microphone, but other than that, it doesn’t get used much (if at all) by baby. I love that it has an on/off switch and volume control. If I could add one thing to it, it would be a molded plastic little pouch or pocket on the back to store the song cards in. You don’t really need them, but it would be nice if they had a “home”. Also, the mirror isn’t that great of quality. The kids don’t seem to mind, but I would love it all the more if it had a better quality mirror. All in all, though, this toy is totally worth having! I’m so glad we purchased it for our little one!

5 Stars A hit for both Grandchildren!
I bought this item for my Grandaughter as a first birthday gift. Not only does SHE love it, but her 3-year-old brother does as well. In fact, they started fighting over it about five minutes after it was put together! It’s a fun and durable toy.

5 Stars Worth every penny!
This toy was bought for my Granddaughter when she was 6 months old. She wasn’t sitting up for a long period of time so we ignored the legs and just leaned the mirror against the side of the crib. The toy was an instant favorite! Once she was able to sit up we attached the legs and now she’s loving the music and lights. Her face just lights up when ever she presses the buttons! This toy is a must have! The songs are cute and don’t get old ((unlike some other toys we have)) and you can change the instrument that’s playing the song. I.E. if the wiggle song is playing, you can press the drum and the drum is playing the tune, the piano and then the piano is playing the song, so on and so forth. If you have the chance, purchase this toy!!!

5 Stars My son LOVES it! Worth every penny
We have had this since my son was 4 mo old, and he LOVES this toy. At 4 mo old I would put him in his bumbo and set this in front of him and he would have the best time and sit and smile at it. He is now 7 mo old and although i can’t just sit him in the Bumbo anymore and expect him to stay, he will still sit in his Bumbo supervised and plays with this toy, he still loves it! One of the best investments for him to date! Highly recommend it!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent toy ever!
I bought it for my 7 yr old son after reading all the good reviews and boy I am so glad I did. Its fun toy, easy and excellent to teach your kid basics of electronics at the same time. My son kept on doing one project after the other. He is anyways too much into building/architectural/magnetic toys and always likes to talk about electronics/signals etc. I just wish they make a sturdier box and also provide simple basics of electricity/parts-resistance etc so that child can read and get attuned very early on. I wish I had this toy when I was a kid. Excellent product and great price!!

5 Stars Excellent Purchase!
I’ve been studying physics with my kids for a while, and a friend recommended Snap Circuits- what a great tool! My son grabbed the set immediately upon its arrival and worked through a bunch of the activities, one after another, and then started creating his own projects. He loves it- and so so my daughter and I!

5 Stars Very Educational
This is super fun and very educational. I play this with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter and we have a blast!

5 Stars Snap Circuits
I have used this product several times in the classroom with elementary and middle school aged children. The response was overwhelmingly positive. The schools we partner with for science demonstrations liked these kits so much they jumped at the chance to get some as a donation. The diagrams are easy to follow. Basic electrical concepts are easy to teach. Kids readily start designing their own circuits. I recommend these kits to anyone who has children interested in hands on experiments.

5 Stars Great for younger kids too
We got this for my son’s 5th birthday. He LOVES it. We spent a little time showing him how to connect the parts and now he does it on his own. He can’t read the book but, he can look at the pictures and put together all the circuits. He now wants to get one of the upgrade kits so he can create more circuits. The product is well made and I would recommend for any child curious about electricity and likes putting puzzles, legos, etc together.
