Editorial Review:

Pirate ship needn't be all rough and unpleasant. In this sunny and cheerful play set from K'Nex, we see the happier side of buccaneer living as the seafaring brutes have evidently abandoned their life of crime on the high seas and opted to open a theme park complete with pirate themed rides. The 462-piece kit allows budding engineers to construct three motorized models: a g-force ride with spinning seats, a swinging ship ride (the one perhaps most familiar to anyone who's attended a carnival), and a boom ride with the pirate ship being counter-weighted by a boom. There are four pirate guys on hand to go aboard the rides, enjoy the fun, and put the whole unpleasant walk-the-plank lifestyle behind them. /I>

Editorial Review:

While it's true that you probably haven't been spending your life silently pining for a chance to play 20 Questions against the detached head of R2D2, this toy, which more or less simulates that experience, provides that opportunity. The premise is pretty simple: think of something and then answer the machine's various questions using buttons marked "yes", "no", "sometimes", and "unknown". A floating display inside the domed top of the toy and an "undo" button provide some added appeal but it's really the same old game of 20 Questions you've been playing for years. While it would appear that the human would have an advantage in this contest and that a machine couldn't deduce the right answer with yes or no questions, we found ourselves losing the game an unsettling amount of the time. /i>

Features:

  • With over 40 preprogrammed functions, this robotic dinosaur makes fluid tail whips and head/neck turns, and moves with 3 gaits (walking, running and predatory)
  • Has 3 distinct moods, plays tug-of-war and detects/avoids things in its path with infrared vision
  • Features a demo mode and auto shutoff
  • For ages 8 yrs. and up; requires 6 AA and 3 AAA batteries (not included)


Editorial Review:

Evidence that the robotic dinosaur revolution is spreading, this Roboraptor comes fully assembled and ready to roam the earth with his robotic dinosaur cousins. He has movable arms, a swiveling head, a sweeping tail, and a chomping jaw full of pointy teeth. Measuring 32 inches from nose to tail, the Roboraptor is a big enough to intimidate any smaller predator that may come along. While this raptor hasn't yet developed his full hunting skills, he's still a lot of fun and comes with over 40 preprogrammed functions, three distinct moods, and the ability to detect things in its path with infrared vision. He also comes equipped with automatic shutoff and a demo mode. Roboraptor is steady on his feet, but works best on smooth, hard surfaces. /i>
