 "disappointed" 2009-02-13
By Tammi Rohman (St. Charles, MO)
I purchased this product, and 6 kits by the same maker for a school enrichment project. What a waste of money! the mortar never solidified and therefore the monuments could not be built. The bricks just slid around and collasped.

 "Dino Digs Set" 2008-12-14
By Doreen Gray (Mesa, AZ)
This is an excellent education item for any child interested in dinosaurs.

Be sure to expect some 'dirt' and be prepared for the area getting a little messy. Given the nature of this product that should be expected and adds to the intrigue... kids love it!

 "Super fun and educational!!" 2008-12-14
By R. Nimitz
This is fun for the whole family. Just fascinating to dig out the bones.

 "dino digs" 2007-10-19
By A. Aceto
Wow does this make a mess, but your kids will love it! Have them do it on top of a large cookie sheet to contain the mess. It will keep them amused for hours "digging for bones"..a great indoor winter project!

 "A fun mess!" 2007-01-16
By T. Swank (Phoenix, AZ USA)
I bought this set for my 8-year-old brother. He wanted to dig up the dinosaur right away!

The tool included is plastic and about as sharp as a plastic butter knife, so your child should be safe, which was my main concern.

The only downside to this set is it is very dusty. Also, you put together the dinosaur with the provided wax, which is definitely an adult supervision task.

 "Low quality garbage - gears came broken" 2008-07-15
By Belink (San Francisco, CA)
I used to have this as a kid. And I loved it. The quality of the product was MUCH MUCH better at that time. I still have most of the pieces of my old one back at my parents house. Now it is complete garbage. I'm so mad.



One of the most important gears came broken. The internal struts and bearings are loose and the gears disengage under even the slightest load rendering it useless.



The hexagonal connectors are so tight that you can't disconnect them without almost damaging the capsules.



The blue wheel axle threads are poorly made - one came stripped - hard to make anything cool when you're one wheel short.



One of the wire jacks fits so loosely in socket that any slight motion and it becomes intermittent.



This is just a classic example of a great toy gone bad as the pig manufacturer cut every corner possible to make as much money as possible. I really hate those swine businessmen who make garbage and sell it. I'm packing it back up and returning it.

 "Very low quality construction" 2008-05-03
By Rob (Philadelphia)
This is a well-thought out product that is very poorly made. I purchased it with high hopes. But the quality of the product is so low as to make it unusable. The more lengthy one-star review summarizes the problems very well. I have returned this, and have a very disappointed 8-year old boy, who asks "why do people sell things that don't work?"

 "Fun Experimenting" 2008-01-19
By Karen Hinton (Fayetteville, Ga USA)
I purchased this product for my 9 year old son for Christmas. I really liked the hands on approach to putting these models together. For your information, my son has taken it to another level. He has gotten creative and built some pretty unique models. The product has done well with my son and I because it has sparked some creative imagination with using your hands to build something with. Max-Out (Capsela # 1000) The other thing is that it is so much fun to work with.

 "Good toy.. Still good?" 2007-12-09
By Kris (Oviedo, FL)
I had this toy as a child. One reviewer mentions certain problems with the toy. Some of these problems are pretty bad (I never remember any of the components within the capsules being loose... the motors and mechanical units seemed very solid). But I do remember that some of the octagonal connectors got stuck and could not be pried off, and you had to make sure everything was really well seated and stuck together before setting the creation loose. I remember the yellow pieces also kept popping off when they hit something because they angle out a bit. This did not diminish my enjoyment of Capsela...



Because I was a girl, I really wasn't interested in Capsela until I saw my brother making it swim in the bathtub or scoot across the floor (it can be propelled by wheels, propeller, treads, etc.). The color-coding made it easy to figure it out where to put the wires, and the pieces lived up to quite a bit of use and abuse. I can remember some of the cells falling apart, but I think we got them back together after finding the exact alignment. It is unfortunate that all of the pieces aren't as sturdy as they once were. But even in the "good ol days", I don't remember this toy being perfect. It was quirky, but better than a lot of the toys on the market that gave less range for creativity...



I think that this is a toy that requires a bit of patience. This is probably better for a kid with focused curiosity who likes to make things than for the kid who needs the goal-oriented structure and constant excitment of videogame-like entertainment. The excitement here is that something you made comes to life... but not all kids will probably find this entertaining enough to keep playing.

 "Great Fun!" 2008-12-02

 "Review" 2008-11-24
By cjw (Phila., PA)
Unfortunately, I had to return the toy because it wasn't right for my 6-year-old autistic son. It couldn't be used without the book.

 "Won't work without the booklet but otherwise nice" 2007-10-28
By Therese (Portland, OR)
I thought I was getting a phone my 5 year old could take with him and have fun quizzing himself with but it turns out it's useless without the booklet it comes with which is fine if your child is sitting down with the phone and book as a fun project on a rainy day but if the phone and book end up in different rooms, forget about it! Also, the book is fun for the child but if the child can't read yet and isn't sitting with an adult, it's again useless since you can't play the games/do the quizzes without being able to read the answers and press the corresponding number on the phone to put your answer in. We should be able to hear the questions from the phone and then hear what numbers to press for which answer we want to choose, if that makes sense.

 "Decent muliplication songs" 2008-11-10
By A. Robertson (Kaysville, UT)
This CD is fine, not extrememly exciting but maybe there's no possible way to make songs for multiplication tables that aren't really sing-songy and a bit monotonous. I think the songwriters probably did their best to give some variety to the tunes.

 "Not sure about it" 2007-07-29
By Kristinms35 (New York)
I bought this to use with my third grade students but after listening to it I am unsure whether or not the children will like it or get anything out of it. The tunes are a bit monotonous and I'm not sure they'll actually help them remember their multiplication facts.

 "Not what I expected - grains fall at constant rate." 2008-08-28
By Lynn (Chicago, IL USA)
I got this toy so I could tie the passing of time visually to the falling sand for my three-year old. I spent quite some time researching digital sand clocks, and found that this was basically the only one that shows the grains large enough and separate enough to give a good visual.



This toy was mainly what I expected from the description. The plastic is relatively sturdy, the interface is OK, everything is basically OK, except a couple of things. One, you can only set the timer in whole minute increments (no 30s timing), and two - the passing of sand is not coupled to the length of time on the timer! What?



So - what's the point then? The grains fall at the rate of 1 full hourglass per minute, no matter how many minutes you set for the timer. Basically you get a 1min timer that flips automatically until the number of minutes you have specified. I don't know what purpose this sand timer serves, except decorative, if that's your thing. It's not educational.

 "Not durable!" 2008-01-19
By B. RUSSELL
I ordered this timer for a student with Autism to visually represent time. I needed something durable as it would probably be thrown. This item arrived broken in mutiple places. I couldn't see it until the packaging was off so I threw it away. Its obviously not what I am looking for!
