This was not at all what I thought it would be. Bought for a cat toy. Worked about 5 minutes and hasn't worked since. Don't waste money on this product.

The Happy Hamster Wheel Runner was a Christmas toy that arrived broken, and in all the chaos of four grandkids opening gifts on Christmas Day, the box unfortunately was thrown out. Grandpa tried to soder the broken wires but was unsuccessful, so we never even got to try the happy little hamster on his wheel! We also couldn't send the happy little thing back for refund because we had tossed out the box! Better luck next time!

I bought 4 of these hamster toys for Christmas presents. My son received one and is pretty rough with it and it's still holding up great! It's like having a pet without the mess and loads of fun. My son is 19 months old so he only gets to play with it when I'm watching but again, he throws it around, etc. and it's very durable!!!

Purchased as a Christmas gift for young boy. He was so excited when he opened it he ignored all the other gifts. What cheap entertainment!! Well worth the money.

My daughters were asking for 'Zhu Zhu Pets' for Christmas and I wasn't going to pay higher than MSRP, so this made a great substitute and they were very happy. Be careful if your child has long hair; it will get stuck in the wheels if they get too close.

I bought two units for my 6 and 4 year old boys and they love the radio. It has certianly helped us from calling them over 10 times in the mornning to get up and get ready for school. The radio is loud and clear and the easily picks up radio the most common radio stations. The volume is very high and that helps alot. I also like the night light althought it could be a little brighter. In any case, this is a very good unit for kids. I recommend it.

I bought this for my grandson's 8th birthday. He loves hot wheels and he LOVES this alarm clock. He likes that it's digital,so he knows the exact time. He really likes the screeching wheels alarm sound. I think most young boys would think this is a great way to wake up. Grandma of 14.

When my grandson opened his birthday present, he was so excited and so thrilled. He wanted is very own alarm clock and radio, and this just made his day. He wanted to be able to use it to get up on his own in the mornings. He's 6 years old, and to see his face was priceless. I got a kick out of the alarm; it's pretty cute. It sure would get me out of bed too. It's easy to use and he was able to use it too. We have to help him set the alarm, but it's easy otherwise. The radio has good sound clarity, and the nightlight isn't too bright. It's unusual and a great idea! I'm glad I found it for him!

Well, I actually posted a +ve review earlier about my purchase regarding this Hot Wheels Radio clock. I don't know why Amazon is asking me again to do it. This time I'll kep it short. It was a great buy. Highly Recommended

We purchased this for our son's 7th birthday and he loved it. Six months later and he has had no problems with it. One of the best features, is the volume of the alarm can be customized. He likes it as loud as it will go and it is LOUD! It easily awakens me in our downstairs bedroom. If I sleep through my alarm, guaranteed I will be peeling myself off the ceiling! Operation is very simple and he sets it himself. Great choice for the car crazy little guy.

During the winter, the plants don't receive enough sunlight. I wanted my plants to remain healthy during that time so I decided to purchase the light. I keep it on for aproximately 6-8 hours a day to maintain a healthy root system for the plants and so far it is working.

Purchased this light for one of my plants that I put in a dark corner. Hung the light on the wall, which is not noticeable, ran the light a couple of hours a day, the plant is doing better than the same plant that gets sunlight for eight hours a day. Best plant light I have to date.

I purchased this light because my home does not get any light and I received a plant from a funeral which I wanted to keep. As it turns out, the plant doesn't need much light. It's doing good on it's own so I don't use the light.

I have been looking in the stores for two years for these to replace the ones that i have had for eight years. Great product.

My 5-year old boy has watched this DVD every day since receiving it on Christmas. If you're boy is into Hot Wheels, this is a must have DVD.

Ordered without issue, received in good condition and played just fine in DVD Player. I'd order from them again.

My son loves his Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge PC game. He's been collecting Hot Wheels cars. Then we discovered Hot Wheels Dot Com. We have found these resources to be exciting, age appropriate, and very well done. Then we rented an Acceleracers DVD. My son was blown away by the story and, of course, all the action. My wife and I were surprised to find the plot intriguing. Since then we bought all of the Acceleracers DVDs. They are great family fun and, in particular, our 6 year old son LOVES them. The Hot Wheels people have created a high quality video series that the whole family can enjoy. AAA Recommended. JKT

MY NEPHEW WAS 4 WHEN WE 1ST WATCHED THIS MOVIE TOGETHER, HIS EYES WERE GLUED TO THE THE TUBE AS THESE CARS WERE ZOOMING AROUND. IM NOT SURE HE CARED ALOT ABOUT THE PLOT. HE CERTAINLY LOVES HOTWHEELS CARS AND THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN VIEWED SEVERAL TIMES BY HIM. HES MY LITTLE EXPERT ON KIDS STUFF AND THIS MOVIE HE LIKED QUITE ABIT. I SEEN THE OTHER HOT WHEELS MOVIES THIS ONE CERTAINLY WAS THE BEST ONE. IT HAS ALOT OF HIGH SPEED ACTION THAT I MUST ADMIT LOOKED PRETTY GOOD TO ME AS WELL. THAN AGAIN I HAD HOTWHEELS TOO AS A KID :)

Our grandson watches this movie continusly We really like it to. I think any one that likes cars will like this one.

My son is 10 years old and has owned and loved Hot Wheels since he was a year old. He loved the Acceleracer series and he LOVES the Battle Force Five series. The Hot Wheels series is a good show - certainly a lot better than some of the cartoons that are out there today that are totally off the wall. Thanks Hot Wheels!!!

My boys are 2 and 7 and they are both Hot Wheels fanatics! They love the cars, the tracks, the clothing, anything they can get their hands on. Everyone in our family loves the Acceleracers Hot Wheels movies, and the Battle Force 6 series is another winner. We don't have Cartoon Network, so we learned of the show when my son received the first episode with a toy car. He loved it and watched it over and over. I was so excited when I heard that more episodes were available on DVD and we all love these as well! Great characters, cool cars, exciting adventures!

My grandson absolutely loves Hot Wheels. It started when we found the Acceleracers but when they came out with Battle Force 5, it was even better. Now he can watch episodes all the time and he does have his fave's. I actually love them too.

My son LOVES all these episodes- we have them all saved on our DVR- I am so glad they are coming out on DVD I can't wait to get them all. He watches them everyday and they are good enough for my husband and I to get into them too.

Bought this for my boys for their birthdays (ages 8 & 5) & they love every one of the movies; they've watched them several times each! If your child loves Hot Wheels, they'll love this box set. A great value, too.

I bought this set for my 5 year old son 2 years ago for Christmas. I have 4 boys ages 5-11 and they all still watch them after two years (WAY more than any other movies we own). I only wish I could find another collection they loved this much. I honestly cannot believe these dvd's are not worn out from how much they have been played. I cannot imagine a boy not loving these movies.

Grew up with Hotwheels and even though I purchased the box set for my son, I enjoy watching just as much as he does. Good story lines, cool cars, and the concept of the racing realms all fit together. DVDs come with extras that add to stories and characters. Still a fan...

The seriers is great. My son loves them and has finally seen the whole set. But when it came time for the extras...it wasn't compatable with my brand new computer. It needs some sort of decoder to access the rest of the special features so it's a little dissapointing. Other than that the set is great.

What a great purchase for the money! I sure wish I would've purchased this sooner! My seven year old son and five year old daughter can't get enough. They both get down on the floor and act out the scenes with their Hot Wheels while watching the movie. The hours of entertainment is priceless. I definitely would recommend this boxed set.

This has to be the nicest pinata that I have ever purchased! My Grandson's party was a big success because of the awsome hot wheels shape, plus we added a few hotwheels inside with all the candy. I will definitely be looking at this site again for party supplies.... Thanks for making my Grandson's Birthday a great day!

A friend recommended this product to me. I was beginning to have hot flashes and mood swings (fun)! I was skeptical, but ordered it and took it as directed. I didn't really notice a huge difference when I was taking it, BUT when I ran out I didn't reorder right away. Guess what came back? Mood swings, hot flashes, sweats. So I am convinced that Estrotone works for me! I would recommend it!

My hotflashes and night sweats were so bad, that they were actually debilitating. I started doing some research and the black cohash seemed to be a common recommendation. I went to the Whole Foods market and this product was suggested to me. It had the black cohash as well as some other healthy ingredients. It took a week to start working but it was so worth it, after about 3 days I noticed the hot flashes were starting to be less frequent, but I still had the night sweats, after 7 days the hot flashes dissapeared and I had a couple of night sweats, its been over 3 weeks now, and I feel so good, no hot flashes or night sweats. I even cut back on the dosage originally it was 2 a day,(they are nice small gel caps) but now I just take one a day and I still get the same results. The price on Amazon is terrific. I paid over $20.00 for a 30 day supply at Whole foods, but on Amazon I got a 3 month supply for only a couple of dollars more. Highly recommend.

After taking these a few day I noticed a reduction in hot flashes, felt better overall. Great product!

Estroton, Supercritical Hormonal Balance, is a wonderful product. There are no hormones in it, just vitimins and herbs to help a woman's body get in balance naturally. I have only been taking them for 2-1/2 months and I have found three significant improvements. I am 47 and my cycles had become sparse and random. I have had two cycles now that make me think that my hormones are getting in balance. Also my labido and sex desire (which are two different things, I found out) increased after about a month and has continued to keep me desiring sexual activity 2 to 4 times per week. The most bizarre change is my breast enhancement. I have been a 34-barely A for at least 20 years. In the past two months, I have grown to a 36-B (which was my size before I had children). Anyway, I hope to keep taking Estrotone until I die! (In addition to taking Estrotone, I exercise regularly and drink a lot of water, which I believe helps the Estrotone to move through my body more efficiently.)

I purchased this radio/CD player for a delightfully intelligent four year old boy. He loves it and protects it from his younger brothers. He listens to music and stories on CD and can tune into acceptable radio stations. His mother is also very pleased with the product. Be aware, though, the item is too large and heavy for a small child to carry around. Until a child is about eight years old, this item is better left on a shelf or carried by an adult. The batteries last longer than I expected them to. It can also be used on a special cord plugged into the cigarette ligher/electronics port in a car. The special cord must be purchased separately.

to whomever, I received a defective HW Hotwheels Boombox and had to send it back. The replacement was defective but better than the original. I was outraged when I had to pay the return postage before I could close the deal. The postage was $13.50. To send the second boom box back would have cost me an additional $13.50. I'll never deal with that company again. Am I wrong in assuming that I was not obligated to pay the return postage? Regards. Joe Chilbert

My son loves his new hot wheels radio that he is in his room all day listening to it!

This Emerson Hot Wheel Boombox is great in looks and sound. Love those subwoofer speakers! This will be a collectors item in the future. Twist the ENGINE START key and a voice will announce phrases,to start your day at the races. Anyone who is into CARS or RACING will love this boombox. AC or battery operation. AM-FM radio and CD. Got it at a great price on Amazon.com.

I gave this to my grandson for his 5th birthday. He LOVED it. It was easy for him to operate and it is just as cute as can be. We put it on the nightstand that night and he stayed awake all night "looking at it". It was his favorite gift. The perfect boy gift...for boys of all ages that love music and hotrods.

My 7 year-old boy loves to play this game. He gets excited with every new level he reaches. He comes running into the next room to tell us what he just accomplished.

I'm 9 & I love this game so much . Once I start I can't stop. So many cars. So many weapons BOOM!! You can choose LOTS of tracks with 4 zones. #1 Bedroom #2 Minigolf #3 Attic #4 Bowling alley WOW!!

The Easter Bunny brought this game and I have an extremely disappointed son. Our video card apparently doesn't support Pixel Shader 2.0, and it won't even try to install :( I can't fairly rate how fun it is since we cannot install it. I wish the requirements had been more descriptive.

I really enjoy playing this game. There are many different Hot Wheels cars to use and many different events and tracks. Graphics are also a plus. Worth the money!

My 5 and 6 year old love this game. They have unlocked a lot of the unlockables and can also play head to head. No real violence is included (they can "shoot" stuff at other cars, but they just bounce around). I have played it with the kids and it is fun. It is not too easy for an adult, as evidenced by the fact that I have been gaming for 20 some odd years and I need to build up some skill to compete with them. For what it's worth, Mario Kart Wii was reported as one of the best games for the Wii. My kids play this far more than that.

I love the graphics and assortment of cars. Especially the morgan aero-8 team! That being said, this game screams out for a real steering wheel and pedal controller as opposed to keyboard controls, something I did not clearly recognize until after purchasing it. This is an oversight I intend to rectify.

i received a defective product and havent received a refund. what happened. this was a christmas gift. how long does it take to refund or replace????? unsatisfied

Installing GTR was very difficult. I'm a technologist and after several tries I was so frustrated that I almost gave up. Fortunately, I was able to finish a successful installation after downloading the latest drivers for my video card and starting the installation runnning as administrator from within a DOS window. Driving GTR is a joy. It has that difficult to achieve balance between reality and playability. The action even when driving alone is amazing, the realistic way in which speed is depicted makes your heart pound. I recommend this product highly specially if you're not easily frustratred by a difficult install.

I got it for my niece and nephew. They've given the game rave reviews - as has their parents!!

I've owned almost every racing simulator there is over the years, but this one takes the cake. Amazing graphics compared to other games, and they nailed GT car physics dead on. If you like this one, try GTR2 its just gets better.

I like this game a lot, but it sometimes has problems. Also I think that it should have more tracks. It only has 6 tracks. 1.kitchen/living room 2.kid's room 3.greenhouse 4.garage 5.sandbox and 6.game room. And they all have different music when you click on the picture of the track in the track selection. I like the fastest car: "way 2 fast". You should get this game if you like to rebuild computers. The game messes up other programs after a while. I have loaded this software on 3 different computers (windows based o/s) and it worked fine for the first few days. after that, when i would start the game, I would select a track, then I would hear repeating 4-second segment music chunks. The next problem is the color. The color gets messed up. Half of a second it is normal, then the other half of the second my mom says it looks like the polarization feature on a digital camera. A bigger problem is in the tournament when you get to the sandbox track the whole game freezes up. I hit ctrl+alt+del and esc a few times and the windows task manager pops up and has messed up colors too. Then I would end the game and the colors are back to normal. The biggest problem is, over time, the game program messed other programs up and then over more time, the computer became so messed up, my dad had to rebuild it. i really like this game but i didn't want so many bugs. :-(

My son loves cars, and this is one game he can control (2.5 years). My daughter also enjoys playing and she is 7. Only thing is would of liked more variety in tracks.

My son is turning five this month and he loves this game. He loves Hot Wheels, so this was the game to have for him. At 2 and half I didn't think he was ready to play this game. However one day I sat down and started playing it just to see what it was like. My hand got slapped and he took over. He has been playing it up until just resent when the cd was scratched real bad. ...

This game could not be more fun for the whole family. It can be played by the very young with a sense of accomplishment, but can also be challenging for those looking for more. You can earn new cars, choose cars based on performance etc.. The one gripe that I have with this game is that the program appears to have some glitches,as every computer, both new and old, that I play it on seems to freeze or have synch problems. For the price it is likely worth the try, the fun will probably outweigh the minor frustration.

Here is a game that every member of your family can play and enjoy. Fast, humorous action starts on the first frame. Players actually feel accomplishment when their cars make it to the finish line! Make-your-own-track component lets you test your own thrill-seeking creativity. This is a really fun game!

. . . I tend to cherry pick the best songs when I play it. After the less than stellar DIRTY WORK album from 1986, the tension between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards finally caused their relationship to crash and burn. Estranged and crapping on each other in the press, each of them released less successful (but decent) solo albums (Richards' was especially good). Realizing they were better together than apart, they reunited with the band to produce the much ballyhooed STEEL WHEELS and went on to embark on their biggest tour to date. The album itself, while far from measuring up to their very best work, is quite good and a worthy purchase for the typical fan. Rating for everyone else: marginally recommended Breakdown: "Sad Sad Sad" - great rocker and single. ***** "Mixed Emotions" - great rocker and single. ***** "Terrifying" - not so good, not bad. ***1/2 "Hold Onto Your Hat" - underrated. Has a really driving old school rock feel - nice and loose. The best guitar licks on the album. ***** "Hearts For Sale" - a strutting mid-tempo rocker. A little limp. Jagger's swagger and attitude are on the money but they should've ditched the keyboard. *** "Blinded By Love" - This is a pretty country song with some fantastic accompaniment - piano, mandolin, fiddle. **** "Rock and a Hard Place" - Glitzy and fun if a bit too repetitive - they kinda wear out the main riffs by the end of the song. Bill Wyman churns out some throbbing disco bass for the last time on a Stones album, probably ever considering how happy he is in retirement. ***** "Can't Be Seen" - starts out sounding like gross generic rock - ditch the synthesizers already! - but thankfully becomes a decent guitar song. Keith Richards turns in a great vocal with lines like, "I just can't be seen with you - it's too dangerous baby!" ***1/2 "Almost Hear You Sigh" - gets my vote for best song on the album and ranks high among all of their ballads. Fantastic melody, guitar, background vocals. Mick coos, "I feel your tongue on mine . . . silky smooth." Great acoustic guitar solo from Keith. *****+ "Continental Drift" - This is an experiment gone right, an African-flavored song loaded with African musicians and their native instruments. Jagger plays the compelling keyboard riff. ***** "Break The Spell" - has a bit of old school twang, a little boogie-woogie rock n' roll. Mick Jagger blows a harp on this one. In case you didn't know, he always sounds great on this instrument. He's also a really good guitarist! **** "Slipping Away" - The other great ballad, this one's sung by Keith: "Just as you have touched my heart, I wake up babe and we're apart." ****1/2

This was a strong effort from the group, featuring some good songs, that make for good listening.

This was the first Stones album I ever heard. I was 18 when it was released and I've been a huge fan ever since. After this I investigated the rest of their catalogue and having discovered the classics from the 60s and 70s I kind of forgot about this one. I just streamed it on Spotify and it's lost nothing for me over 20 years. It still sounds fresh and exciting. For just about any other band this would be an artistic peak. I actually prefer this to the bloated "A Bigger Bang".

Of all the albums after the classic 70's period, this album is, in my opinion, by far the best. The songwriting is consistently strong. It just felt like the Stones were tired of being written off, and went after it here. I saw them on the tour that followed this release, and they were clearly interested in showing that they could still rock. And of course, "Almost Hear You Sigh" is just a beautiful song. This is a must have.

I have been a Stones fan for awhile and this LP is a must have for any collection. The choice cuts are, "I Can Almost Hear You Sigh", 'Mixed Emotions", "I Cannot Be Seen"...Hell they are all great.

My son, age 7, has all the Hot Wheels movies and loves them so when I stumbled across the soundtrack I thought it was perfect for him. And I was right! He loves the music and knows almost all the songs from hearing them in the movies. This is his first pick out of all his CDs to listen to and I actually don't mind listening either. Ideal for any little boy who enjoys the movies.

Our son LOVES Hot Wheels. We were very disappointed that the CD didn't include music from the first movie in the series, The World Race. The song 'Hot' by Smashmouth is our son's favorite [...]. Plus, he knew all the words. The songs in the Acceleracers movies are not as easy for kids to follow or relate to the movie with [...]. Hot Wheels did a dis-service with the Acceleracer movies by forgetting the age of their viewers. All that said, our son likes the songs, but doesn't ask for them anywhere near as much as we thought he would since he loves the movies so much, but he does ask for 'Hot' from the World Race. UPDATE 06/2009: Our son STILL watches this series of movies when he can! Well worth the investment.

My son is 5yrs and made keen hotwheels fan. He loves this cd, sings along to the tracks. We have it pumping in the car

I'm not sure what it is about this and other Hotwheels movies but my 30 month old would have each movie running simultaneously, if he had his way! Although there are a few scenes that I feel are scarier than I would prefer my toddler to see, the movie in general, gets a high rating in our household ( 2, 7, and 12 year old boys!). We have all four Hotwheels movies and can't wait for the next!

I brought this for my four year old son as he loves the music from the acceleracers movies. Since buying it my 6 year old daughter has been caught playing it and singing along as has my husband!!!! all round good cd for all ages.

This is a 5 out of 5 quality CD. The music took me back to my childhood when I would watch the Man From Uncle on TV. Shipping was fast and the CD was in excellent condition. I will shop with this seller again.

I don't think I can add much more to the praise, but here goes. The three 2-disc collections (along with a 4th single disc) are a must for any lover of The Man From UNCLE, TV spy shows, or television in general. As other reviewers have noted, there have been many, many, previous incarnations of the UNCLE music. At last, the real deal! The music is fabulous and the liner notes and photos are great. Don't have regrets later. Pick up all 4 collections. Special thanks to Jon Burlingame for the work he put into these sets. And believe me, he put a lot of work and time into this project.

I always wanted the music of this T.V. show, my all time favorite, and not, until now, I could enjoy again the thrills of this TV series. In chronological order you can listen to different themes of the four seasons this show lasted. Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin, Gerald Fried and many other great composers, who gave their best to add excitement to this spies adventures show can be enjoyed here. A must for all the fans of the Man From UNCLE.

I have wanted to have Jerry Goldsmith's original opening theme from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for years. I was always disappointed by the other versions I was able to find. I am glad to have it at last.

How gratifying it is to find TWO other enthusiastic reviews of this music! I will add just a couple of my own notes to those other writings. First, this is--finally--the original music from "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.". The CDs described here contain the various versions of the theme, as well as music composed for individual episodes, as it was recorded and used in those episodes. These are NOT cheesy re-recordings ("authorized" or not); they are the real thing, in great sound. Next, although this review appears in the listing for "Volume 1", there are three 2-CD volumes available, well-described by other reviewers, plus a fourth single-disc issue of music (again, authentic and original) from two theatrical "Man From U.N.C.L.E." movies, whose release illustrated the enthusiasm that existed for this show and its stars. The four "U.N.C.L.E" releases come from Film Score Monthly, nominally a magazine but in recent times also an outstanding CD imprint with a growing list of titles to stir a movie and television fanatic's heart. These FSM CD albums have been limited to 3,000 copies apiece, and presumably will not be re-issued. That makes time a factor in acquiring these titles. Anyone whose pulse rate increases reading these reviews should visit Film Score Monthly online to learn more. Happy listening!
