 “Poor Design” 2009-09-27
By Shannon
We purchased this for our son just before he turned a year old. Initially we thought it would be a great toy for him to practice eye-hand coordination and to learn colors, etc. However, we were so disappointed when we started to play with this toy. The balls do move through the tube as designed and the music is festive, but once the balls pop out of the top they go flying all over the place. I spent more time chasing after the balls than my son did actually being able to enjoy the toy. In my opinion, I found having to chase after the balls each time a bit annoying. This is not a well designed toy and I would not have purchased it if I had known what a problem it was going to be. Overall it is not such a terrible toy, but there are others out there that require less work and provide more stimulation for young children than this one does.

 “Outstanding” 2009-09-24
By A. Folden (Dallas, TX USA)
We bought this toy for our daughter about three years ago and she loved it. We were going through her old toys and found it so we gave it to our ten month old twins. They too love it, they beat it up knock it over and it just keeps running. However, if you have a dog be weary of the balls our dog destroyed all but one of them.

 “This sucker is LOUD” 2009-09-24
By K. Pudenz (Minnesota)
I got this toy for my son for Christmas last year when he was 7 months old. He was afraid of it because of the noise (it sounds like a very loud vacuum cleaner). I was also not impressed with the narrowness of it - very easy for an eager infant to knock it over. I put it away in the closet and got it out again at 10 and 12 months. Both times, he was frightened of the noise and I had to put it away again. When the balls do “pop” they don’t fall nicely in the tray that is provided, they hit it and bounce out and go all over the place. Don’t waste your money.

 “fun toy” 2009-09-23
By jadegal (ca)
My 9-month-old seems to like this toy alright…at first the loud noise that it makes scares her; but after a while, she got used to it and is now ok with it. This toy should come with extra balls, in case the original 5 get lost as they bounce around so much, most of the time they don’t hit the plate…

note: if there are not 5 balls in the queue it’s not enough force to pop the rest…

I think 4 D cell batteries is a lot for this toy…especially if your kid plays with it a lot..will need to replace the batteries really fast…but then again, it probably requires that many in order to force the balls to pop out…

 “great toy, just supervise” 2009-09-20
By William E. Nelson Jr. (Alexander, Ar USA)
We got this toy for our daughters first christmas, she was about 7months old. It has been a big hit with her. We long have lost some of the balls, but it matters not to her , she loves the noise. She also likes putting other items in it. She is 17 months now and lately she has been getting her hand stuck in it. Her grandmother witnessed her getting her arm stuck, and I did another time, but it wasnt stuck too bad. then the other day when putting her down for a nap we heard her screaming and hollering, thought it was her normal nap fit after about 5 minutes we checked on her, she had her arm stuck up to past her elbow! it is going in the trash now. as I said this is a great toy, just be in the room and watch them, probably better for those under one. I think the toddlers are too advanced for this and can get into trouble

 “Be careful” 2009-09-25
By M. Foster (SE, Mass)
Be careful who you are buying from. Realize that Amazon isn’t the one charging these prices. It is the sellers. Definitely do your homework because in some cases the sellers are charging 3xs the retail value for these toys simply because they are popular. I personally do not think Amazon should allow such sellers because it does turn people off to this site and if they are legit sellers they really do not need to be taking advantage of people.

Great toy. Wait it out and you’ll get one for ten dollars or less.

 “Wait till the prices come down, then buy” 2009-09-12
By Thomas B. Lanigan (weston, FL USA)
I brought the hamsters at TrU for $[…] each. The toys are cute but only worth the original retail price. The prices charged by the third party re-sellers are heavily marked up. The manufacturer gets no benefit from this situation as it causes bad will against the company and the product. Ditto for Amazon. I bet that the manufacturer is ramping up production as fast as possible and that these will be in stock in huge numbers pretty soon and those who brought out the first inventory will be forced to reduce their prices for the toys they still have. Such is the law of supply and demand. These will certainly be available before Christmas.

 “Amazon is a rip-off” 2009-09-06
By Laurie Ann Thon
I verified the above review and in some cases,Amazon is charging 6 times more than Toys R Us. Check out the 3 hamster set at Toys R Us for 22.99. Amazon is selling it for $139.98!!!! I used to buy all of my Christmas presents from Amazon. Not anymore!

 “Learned My Lesson This Time!” 2009-09-04
By Busy Mom (USA)
Ok I admit I spoil my kids! When they see these ZHU ZHU PETS on TV, they of course want them and I cave and off we go looking LITERALLY ALL OVER TOWN TRYING TO FIND THEM! We must have went to 8-10 stores and have YET TO FIND AN ACTUAL ZHU ZHU PET HAMSTER! Most stores don’t even have an empty rack as they must not be carrying them yet! And three of the stores were Toyrus and each one said they can’t keep them on the shelves.

Six Hours Later, We did finally find one lone ADVENTURE BALL for which we now have with no Zhu Zhu pet yet! But we did try it out with the neighbors Zhu Zhu Hamster and it is Hilarious as it acts like a Real Hamster in The Adventure Ball. So as I always do whether it’s Bakugan, Littlest Pet Shop, Star Wars, Barbie, and now Zhu Zhu Pets I end up WASTING TONS of TIME and GAS MONEY trying to find them at Multiple Stores when I should have Just Paid A Little Extra and Had them Shipped Right To my Door by Buying them off Amazon…Oh well, Live and Learn I Guess!
