Wut

2008-09-27
This is more a merchant review, but since such a thing was not available to me for some strange reason, here it is.

Exactly one week ago, the price up there was 19.99. Gladly, I paid, as well as for 1-day shipping.
So when nothing came, I contacted customer service with such a disappointing response (basically the vendor putting the responsibility for error on Amazon.com) that I had to get in touch with Amazon.
Amazon, or rather a friendly Indian fellow working for a company likely working for Amazon, told me that the item is not actually in stock.
Returning to the item's page, I noticed the price had gone up by 30 dollars, so naturally I assume these people had the wrong price, or maybe the dollar has depreciated 2/3 in value over the course of a week. If either is the case, this is disappointing.

In short, this vendor may try to steamroll you with polite mollification if it ever turns out you caught them with an incorrect price.

This toy was nice in that we got rid of the gun and played with the tent and other parts of the set. He does not actually play with it as the movie character but rahter as an "explorer dude".

this set is fun even though the tree and the boat are not in the movie they are still fun.
the tree isn't very strong and the net is hard to keep in the tree the duck/truck is sweet but only one lego guy fits in the front, it should come with the skull and Irina Spalko, but it is still a great set.

Great block selection and Minifigs!

2008-07-20
River Chase is the first Indiana Jones set we purchased. The blocks are a good selection amongst the grey, brown, and green color groups and will be useful for other projects as well.

Durability is always a mixed back with Lego sets. This is no different. The car and raft are very durable. The tree stand is much less so. We've had it for several weeks and the car has been tossed in and out of the Lego bin, stepped on, dropped, and generally treated like you'd expect a 5-year old to treat it. It is still in one piece.

Overall, the set is great. 2 Russian soldiers, Indy (with his trademark whip), and Marion are great minifigs. The croc and snakes just add to the collection.

LOVE IT!

In a terrific vehicle chase, Indiana Jones and his team attempt a daring river escape in an amphibious vehicle built to travel on both water and land. But the soldiers have a boat of their own, and they're in hot pursuit. Look out for the net trap, the snapping crocodile and snakes. Includes Indiana Jones, Marion Ravenwood and two Russian Guard minifigures. 234 pieces.

only one person can fit in the amphibious truck's seat.
the tree is unsturdy.
Overall, this is a great set i would give to anyone.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
