Playmobil Advent Calendar: Xmas in Forest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Every year's Playmobil Advent Calendar is a treat. The calendar basically has two parts, both revolving around 24 little playmobile animals, Santas, presents, and other Christmas-oriented toys: (1) a stand-up sheet to which parents attach 24 little boxes, one for each day of December until Christmas, and (2) a little tableau, where the kids can set up the toys as they open them. Each day, the kids get to open a box and place the toy on the tableau, setting up a scene that will be finished by Christmas Eve.

The 2008 calendar, "Christmas in the Forest," is my favorite yet. Santa is bringing presents (mostly food) to the animals of the forest, so the set has a bunch of mother and baby animals, together with Santa, a sled, and plenty of delicious treats. Playmobil did a great job with this year's calendar. If you don't have one yet, go get one and catch up!

My Little Pony "Ponyville" Advent Calendar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this calendar for my daughter because son had Lego calendar and was trying to find a like "girl" calendar. The calendar was cute, but don't expect a lot of ponies - it comes with only 3, and the 3rd one was on the last day. Lots of hats, cups, shoes, plates, food and other accessory items the rest of the days. Overall it served its purpose and I was satisfied.

Star Wars R2D2 Interactive Astromech Droid Voice Activated Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We gave our six yr old son R2 for Christmas and it was the big hit of the day! When he unwrapped his gift and saw that it was R2 inside it was one of those priceless moments that you wish you caught on video...it even brought tears to his eyes. Now, I will say that R2 takes some getting used to. You have to say things just right and be pretty close to him when you speak to him or else he doesn't understand and will just go about doing his own thing. He definitely seems to have a mind of his own sometimes, but that is part of the fun, too. When our six yr old gets a bit older I think he will have more fun with R2. I think the recommendation for 8 and up is probably right on due to the fact that it is a bit challenging for kids to operate (can even be challenging for adults!) Even so, R2 is so cute and life like...any Star Wars fan would love it!
