| Good concept, flawed executionOrdered this camera for my 4 year old son, and although it has its strong points, it has too many weaknesses to justify the hefty price tag.
Good points:
1) Seems very strong and durable
2) Simple controls
3) Battery life is quite good, with NiMH rechargables will last a good few days of heavy use
Bad points:
1) Picture quality is terrible, most pictures have a green-blue colour cast that is very noticable. Also the "film speed" is way too low, practically all photos are blurred, it's hard for young children to hold a camera rock-steady while they take a picture, so the camera should've have been programmed with this in mind with a high film speed (and fast shutter speed) to reduce this problem. As it is, if my son takes one usable picture in 100 it's a miracle. I wasn't expecting the camera to produce wonderful pics every time, my son's no Man Ray for sure, but he quickly lost interest when nothing turned out properly.
2) It would be great to see the (few) half decent pictures on our big screen. There is a cable included to connect the camera to a TV via the video-in port. But theres no picture on our TV, just snow. We live in Mexico (we brought the camera back after a trip to the UK) and maybe there's a compatibility problem, supposedly there's a setting to enable the pictures to be seen on on either european or US televisions, but switching to the US setting makes no difference (we bought the TV in the US so it's not that Mexican tvs have some weird idiosyncrasy). We're quite tecno literate here, we went through all the possible settings on the camera and the TV but nothing worked. So if you wish to buy this camera and use it ouside the UK or europe beware.
3) Despite being generally robust, the one weak point is the LCD screen. It got scratched within the first few hours and really should come with a replaceable plastic protector or some other method to protect it.
4)It comes loaded with games. If you want your kids to play computer games, then you won't have a problem. If you don't want your kids to play computer games, and would prefer them to use the camera to take pictures, then be prepared for them to spend all day playing the games instead. Although for many the games will be a nice touch, for many it's not, and VTECH should at least have included a parental override function to block the games function if, like us, you are keen that your kids use the camera as a camera.
Points 2, 3 and 4 aren't gamebreakers for us, but point 1 is the huge disappointment. With a picture quality this bad, it's practically worthless as a camera.

| Features• Lego, Toy Story, Boys, ages 6-12
Kept busy for hoursThese toy story lego kits are great! Available from both the Disney Store and The Lego shop, so dont be fooled into paying collectors prices. Me and the 25 year old loved putting the model together, took about 20 minutes and is quite straightforward. The 4 year old has had great fun playing with the models, making up his own games and stories with them. He is also learning that lego comes apart and can be put together again - sometimes with different heads! So I think it is good for young children using role play and developing their fine motor skills. I have found the attachments for Buzz's helmet visor inadequate too - it comes off too easily. The spoiler on the back of RC is a little top heavy and needs regular refixing and the lights come off easily - but then hey it is lego & if bits come off your child is going to learn how to put them back again. A great toy, it has kept him busy literally for hours. Good value.

maverick reviewi have 2 boys aged 6/9 of which i brought 2 mavericks and 2 recons,all very good well made, fun toys but the mavericks are brilliant,well balanced and very accurate.although they fire foam bullets ,impact is very real but only painful if shot in the eye(i can verify that firsthand)really should wear eye protection or just avoid head/face shots,i had so much fun playing "nerf war" with my sons that i have ordered one of these for myself.a great toy for all ages
