Easier then going to the store: I found what I was looking for, and had it sent, and that was much less time consuming then looking for and buying it in a store, Done is done.
good
A great little engine: I have to agree with the other reviewer that the metal engines are so much more durable and longer lasting than the plastic ones. That said, Thomas is just wonderful though. He sure is hard to find at Christmas, however! If you have a Thomas fan or even if you are just beginning, a battery operat...
bad
What a disappointment: I bought this to replace an old battery powered Thomas. At first glance I thought the push button was great for my 2 year old who didn't quite have the small motor coordinatin to manuveur the forward/backward switch on the old Thomas. But when we started to try and use the new Thomas on the track...
bad
Don't buy!: Motor worked for a total of 3 minutes. Not exaggerating! It derailed the whole time. Now I've got a 3 year old crying for his Thomas to work.
bad
Eats batteries, strips gears quickly: The train feels sturdy, but it doesn't stand up to the abuse a three year old will inflict. Three days after getting the thing home, my boy had pushed it back and forth enough to strip the gears...."Pushed it back and forth?" you say? "Why? It's battery-powered!" Yeah, that's the t...
bad
Won't last long with a 3 year old: If you have a kid who likes to move the trains by hand, don't spend the extra money on this. I think it's probably a good product, just not for a 3 yr old.
bad
Didn't even last a week: I was SO excited to give this to my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas, but it has been more of a pain than anything. We have gone through 2 batteries in 6 days with Thomas, he can't seem to make it uphill anymore, and the motor has officially given out. The interesting part is that Thomas was used t...
bad
broken: Not work after one month of using, although it was nice when it works. My daughter is disappointed. I will try to repair it.
bad
Switch broken after 3.5 months of use: The toy is ok. The engine is low-speed high-torque. So it can run on wooden trails that are less than smooth. However, the switch was broken after 3.5 months of use. Engine is always on and swtich does not function. Return policy is within 1 month of purchase.
good
Great Classic: My 2 year old loves this toy and so do I! Strong and durable even when he pushes it accross the hardwood floors.
good
Like this Series: These trains are extremely sturdy and well designed (they'll take a lickin' and keep on tickin'), but they're not very fast if that's what you're looking for. I think the speed they're designed for is more a function of track design (If they were much faster, they'd probably come off the curved tracks...
good
My sons Love it.: My sons love to play with it.So, they don't need to push the trains around.It is powerful enough to tow along 10+ trains.The build quality is great, we have it for almost 3 years.We also have the Percy version.The Thomas has 2 more wheels, and they make the train more easily to get stuck or run out of...
bad
we Love/Hate this Thomas: We have a love/hate relationship with this Thomas the Train. It is by far one of my son's favorite toys, when it is working. I must say I am very thankful for a husband who is handy, as he has had to "repair" Thomas twice (beyond just changing the battery). Just a few weeks after we purchased ...
bad
Can't turn: I bought this toy for my grandsons who adore Thomas. They had great fun with it at first; however, as soon as the track was laid, it became apparent that this "wood railway" toy could not navigate any but the widest of turns without running off the track. That's no fun after all.
bad
Very slow moving: We bought this to use on our "Step2 Deluxe Canyon Road Train & Track" and although it does fit on most parts of the track it is very slow. Real slow.It is made well and powerful though. My son uses it to push up to 9 hot wheel cars around the track.Just wish it was faster. He got bored with it after a...
bad
Power trains blow: I have now bought (3) Thomas battery powered trains and (2) of them have lasted about two weeks. Once you have to take the batteries out several times they stop working-poor product for the $20 price tag!!!!
bad
Great toy, but died after three days of use: My daughter received this train for Christmas and she loved it. She used it to pull her non battery trains around the track and around the house. We changed the batteries every day, and after three days of use the train died. I would have given this train five stars if it ha...
bad
The only Thomas pc. that has disappointed us: My son was initially thrilled to get this addition to his figure eight set, but once the novelty wore off, it seemed like more aggrevation that it was worth. For starters, once he saw battery operated Thomas do his thing, my son no longer wished to push the trains around th...
bad
Broke very quickly: Broke down very quickly, because it is not possible to push it, the gears are engaged and when the power is switched off and pushed it grinds the gears. Some it started getting jammed very quickly, it would take a lot of hassle to get it going on its own again. I guarantee this will break very quick...
bad
Does not work well: Having 2 young boys we have been into Thomas for quite some time over a 4 year span. This was about the 4th battery powered engine I have bought for them. The other ones have been durable and fun to play with and the batteries last for quite sometime.This one has a very sticky on button which is so ...
bad
2 days after I got it, it doesn't work!: My son had such a great time for the first day and then we had to change the battery the next day because it had drained very quickly.I had to keep explaining to my son, age 2, that it's not good to push it manually, because as everyone else complained I was worried about the cl...
bad
Ok. Battery screw problem: We have Thomas, Percy and James battery powered trains. All of them have problem with the battery screws. From the first get go, I am unable to unscrew the battery compartment. I find a way to get it out only to use to tape to hold them together. It is a pain. But, my son loves it thought.
good
Great toy for little Thomas the Train enthusiasts: I bought this train for my 2 year old son who loves trains. He enjoys watching this train go around the track and anywhere around the house for that matter. This train has surprising power and is easily capable of pulling multiple train cars behind it. We've only had t...
good
Battery powered Thomas the train: The train is very heavy duty. It only hold a few car but its exactly what I was looking for.
good
Sooooo Underrated: First off, I have to say I like Cowboy Bebop for it's action, style, and wit, but I don't find it to be the best anime of all time. Great series and all, but I do feel it's a *little* overrated. But god damn, is the music for this series so _________ good. I don't understand why so many people even a...
good
An excellent product: This is one of the best hair products that I have ever used for sculpting different hair styles. I recommend it for everyone how want a fast and strong results for hair styles. ^_^
good
performs as promised: I bought one for myself and one for my friend who moved to Switzerland. It is fun to be able to talk face to face. The quality of the sound and picture are good. She had a little trouble with the software installation, but all is well now.
bad
Eh,..: These shoes are a whole size smaller than marked. I wear a 7 and 7 would not fit me. I had to order an 8. But these seemed bulky and heavy and not confy at all! and the metal detail in the front makes noise. Returning. They look better in the picture than they do in person.
good
The solo debut by Stewart: This is an amazing solo debut by Rod Stewart, released in 1969 (in the US, it received the title "The Rod Stewart Album" - go figure why...?).The band here is tight and focused, Rod sings like never, it blends some very good originals by Rod with some covers. The singing here is full of passi...
good
Where's the bloody track listings!!!:@: This was Rod's daybue album from 1969 and I am disgusted that amazon doesn't even have sound samples or track listings!!!:@ Wake up amazon! Give us the track listings for crying out loud!
bad
not what I expected: I was hoping this would be something similar to the larger Altec Lansing speaker dock (XM3020) I had purchased in the past. I wanted it because it seemed to be pretty slim for the amount of traveling I would be doing. The base does not have an antenna on the back and needs to be plugged in from sid...
good
Great for camping: Took this with us on a trip to Maine, little cabin on a lake, no TV no radio. Great for music and news in the morning. Worked perfectly, great signal and all needed parts fit into the travel bag. I did have to add the antenna from my home kit, as I couldn't get a signal without it.
bad
Price of product vs. poor customer service: Had problem with unit w/in 3 mos of purchase. Was finally able to make contact with company after several WEEKS of trying. Even their customer support line disconnects you when you try to keep holding and don't leave a message. And when you leave a message, it must be deleted...
good
At The Right Price It Is Great!: If you can get a good price for this item (I paid $35.00) then it is well worth it. It performs exactly as described and I enjoy the portability though it would have been nice if it had included an XM antenna. For those of you who know about Altec Lansing's glory days when they produced...
bad
DOESN'T WORK with XM INNO! BE WARE: I bought this for my husband and am ripped that amazon (nor distributor) tells you that it will NOT work with XM INNO. I will have paid TWICE the amount in shipping than I paid for the speakers. WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT ;( very mad.
good
Party Pack for a 1 Year Old's birthday: My husband is a huge Steelers fan, so when our daughter turned one, I picked a day for her birthday party. Since we don't have many friends with kids, I just picked a random day in Jan. 2011. Well the day I picked was a major Steelers game. So we couldn't miss the game now could ...
good
Very difficult to remove from the Casio EX-Z750: Being much less expensive than the Casio brand batteries, this is a useful backup (the Casio battery lasts so long that one should rarely need a second). However, this battery is ever so slightly too large for the EX-Z750 (I haven't handled the other models with which it...
bad
Battery will not charge: My original batteries died and I bought this for replacement. This battery will not charge. Waste of my money and time.
bad
I R R I T A T I N G !: If you MUST have this game make sure you pay less than five buck for it so you won't feel bad when you use it for a coaster for your drink. This genre sucks anyways but this one takes it to a whole new level of WORTHLESSNESS! Mumbo Jumbo usually makes great addictive puzzle games however the only...

This is not the Secret of Mana Original Soundtrack CD: This is not the Secret of Mana Original soundtrack from the game, aka in Japan: Seiken Densetsu 2 OSV. This CD, the one listed above, is also known as secret of mana plus and is a orchestral mixture that contains some of the themes and original music from the game ...

Horrid: Tacky plastic pieces. Took an eternity to arrive. Customer service lacks proffecionalisim. Also was not shipped when it was supposed to. I placed an order on the first. Recieved order today on sept 11. Never again.
bad
Bad: A bunch of plastic jewelry almost none of it is steal and took forever to get here. not good quality at all Im probably gonna throw it away
bad
If I could give it zero stars I would: Worst self tanner I have ever tried in my life, and also the most expensive. It does not work AT ALL. I have applied this every day for 3 days and got no color at all. You would do better with something from the drugstore. What a total waste of money.
good
Gives step by step instructions: As a beginner with meditation, I was looking for something instructional and this fit the bill. There are 3 CDs in this set. The one on Pure Meditation was excellent and provided overall context/philosophy as well as specific "how to" for meditating. What I love about Pema is that she i...
good
Excellent instruction: Pema Chodron imparts wisdom and guidance with the voice of an old soul. She gives me confidence that learning and practicing meditation may be difficult, but well worth it.
good
Great teacher: I am thoroughly enjoying listening to Pema Chodron collection of teachings.She is easy to listen to and presents great insights in a down-to-earth, accessible fashion. Excellent support for a beginning meditation practice and understanding Buddhist teachings.Pema is a clear, funny, humanly imperfect and ...
good
Pure Meditation - great product: Have you seen that ad on TV - "Your mind controls you, but do you control your mind?" Pema Chocdron shows you how to stop the incessant noise and criticism of your mind by finding a space where ideas are allowed, but teh spontaneous reaction to those ideas is not. By becoming compassion...

great recomed it to anyone: l have no problem recommending this cd collection it's of great help and very insightful, Pema Chodron is an amazing woman l give this 5 stars only as there are no more to give, Metta xXx

Leprechaun: it was great to watch again, I remember watching it years ago and it's still as great as ever. I would recommend it to anyone to buy.
good
Make yourself happy: From the very first song I loved this cd. Great fiddles and singing and lyrics to make me smile- terrifically entertaining and upbeat. These musicians are the real thing. Even better to see them live.
bad
THIS IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY: Do NOT waste your money on this 1 1/2 page of very, very brief definitions of what separates the last four generations. This is stuff you ALREADY KNOW. I thought I'd learn a few new things to understand working with multiple generations but this was useless. That this should even be ...
good
Between Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll: A little-read story of George Eliot's "The Lifted Veil" is a lovely example of the intersection between humanities and science in 1859: it ends with a revivification scene worthy of Mary Shelley. Written just before Eliot admitted to being the author of *Adam Bede*, the emasculated ...

Creative alternative for shower curtain rod: I was looking for a shower stall curtain rod & found practically nothing. This is an inexpensive & very attractive solution. Very simple to hang & seems durable.

rokken like dokken: Could the lyrics of any other song express the elation and confusion of love better? However, the import price is awful. I was charged less at an anime convention, but I got lucky.

at least one improvement is possible: Conditions (1.5)-(1.6) for optimal quantum measurements on page 91 chapter 4 exist in a simpler form. See the articleHolevo, "Remarks on optimal measurements," Problems in transmission of information 10 #4 (1974).See also the article 0902.0395 on the arXiv.

Disappointed with the Audrey: The Audrey doesn't seem to have be tested with real consumers before it launched. We've had trouble printing (doesn't seem to print what's on screen, or what's on the page), syncing to both of our Visors and problems with its inability to properly read web pages.3Com tech support acknowled...
good
Shot in the right direction, but 3com missed the target.: My family purchased an Audrey for the holidays. We plugged it in and got it set up. Set up, by the way, couldn't have been easier. We just hooked up th broadband adapter and turned it on. Set up took roughly 15 minutes. After that, we set up all the porgrams. Th...
bad
Mainly OK, but terrible customer service: The Audrey mainly worked, but Java and Realplayer pages don't work. Realaudio is OK, so it makes a great web radio. Email is OK but some attachments don't get through. Audrey is a great prototype, but it's not ready for prime time.After many calls to 3com support I still couldn...
bad
NOT user friendly: We bought this for our Mom with high expectaions based on reviews. Unfortunately, there are SO MANY quirks and limitations that it is actually HARDER to use than a real computer. Email would not forward, could only address to one person at a time, printing just does a 'screen dump' so to print an ema...
good
Impressed: Not much to be said, other than this knife comes ground to the correct angle and very sharp. It also holds its edge for quite a while. It isn't the heaviest chef knife around, but if you are accustomed to the cheapo gift set knives, your hand and wrists will need to get adjusted to the heftiness of a profess...
bad
Dull: I purchased this knife because it received excellent reviews. I must have received a defective item, because it was totally dull. Would not cut vegetables, chicken, nothing. It was worthless and was returned today.
good
This album is FIRE!!!: I love this album. I had this album years ago but bought to get another one. Where ya at Casso?
good
Nice music for nice people: It's not pop, it's not rock, it's not for people who don't like to think, and ponder, and laugh, and drink, and drink some more. But if that's your thing, this might be for you.
good
Not quite even an album: This was a cute little album, but not really worth owning except for the few unreleased songs on it. I have it only because of that reason, I collect Yoko Kanno albums."Doggy Dog" is really cute and I would listen to it on a mix of background music."Spy" is the typical spy song, but in Yoko sty...
good
great cd: this cd is very good. i especially love "cats on mars". I would highly reccomend this for anyone who likes cowboy bebop. this cd is is good for the young and the old...just anyone who likes good music. on a note: don't try to understand what she's saying on "cats on mars" and "fantasie sign"
good
Bebopping good stuff: It really does have good stuff on it. I really like DOggy Dog and Black Coffee. (Can we pleeeeaase get some coffee? Nnnno! heh i love that) I must admit though that I dont have the CD and cant remember if the Cats from Mars is the remix or the original.
good
Another Winner: Good quality and well built to last a long time. Grandkids play with it daily and love it.
good
Great Product!: My Granddaughter loves trains and especially this one since it is battery powered! It was shipped fast and the transaction was great!
good
A lot of fun but not for younger Thomas fans: A great addition to your Thomas collection but I would not recommend it for younger children since the motor mechanism is somewhat fragile and is easily broken if you try to push it back and forth on the tracks manually, which is exactly what my 2.5 year old likes to do thi...
bad
Breaks right away.: We have had bad luck with this lovely toy. I think it is poorly manufactured because it broke, we got a new one and it broke right away. Our battery powered thomas runs fine. Skip this lady.
bad
No Fun With Lady: We have four battery operated engines (Thomas, Percy, Lady, James) and Lady and Percy were our second purchase. First, if she lays on her side, there is a loud ratcheting sound and when she is off, her wheels do not allow for free play as they are locked. Lady is the worst, when it comes to staying on...

Delicious Meal!: After trying this chicken and rice dish, I was quite impressed at how flavorful it tasted. It's certainly not better than my mother's "Arroz con Pollo", but it comes close. Best of all, it takes half the time to prepare since everything but the chicken (and some cooking wine) is included in the box. It...
good
Neuva Cocina Rice Mix for Chicken: The rice mix makes a tasty quick meal, however the sodium content is a bit too high.
good
Great meal!: A simple to prepare meal that is delicious! Your guests/family will think you have been in the kitchen all day! Try it and see! Order the minimum amount and you won't be sorry! Good luck!

Very enjoyable: As a huge fan of stand-up comedy and in particular, Stephen Wright and the always funny Denis Leary, I was very happy with my purchase of this DVD.Great footage, great interviews, and great production quality as well.This is a must for any comedy fan, especially those who are curious as to what it takes...
bad
An interesting look into Boston's comedy clubs: This was a good documentary on the history of two local comedy clubs in Boston. Since I am not from Boston, never been to Boston, and never will ever go to Boston, it was good for a one time viewing only.I agree with others that the cover of the DVD is misleading. I think...

Biology Workbook: The workbook was in excellent condition and I am enjoying it very much as a teacher! I can recommend it highly!
bad
Cute, but very thin: I buy many stockings and pantyhose from ILOVESEXY, however, many of the leg avenue pantyhose are so thin, that they rip,just by putting them on. I only weigh 125lbs, so they should fit perfectly. I reccomend wearing 2 pairs at a time.
good
Great book: This is a great book, I sadly believe I have lost mine however. I am not unable to function without it, so I have no need to get it again, but it was indeed a great book. Seller was easy and fair, and shipping was just fine as well, no delays :)
good
Useful for everything boat related: This book is useful for pretty much any boat related knowledge, from rules of the road, to identifying sailboats. If you have an interest in boating you can't go wrong.
good
Refreshing new artist: Tyler Hilton is a great new artist with a refreshing style. His throwback melodies are reminiscent of '50s and '60s rock. His upcoming album should be highly anticipated and is sure to deliver more great music.
bad
Not the Best...: I bought this CD expecting it to be the same type of music as the hit (When it Comes)... but when I finally got it, I listened, and kept trying to accept it and appreciate the music... But I still can't bring myself to do so. I will admit that I do, in fact, like "When it Comes". Its got a good guitar ...

We Love Tyler: When i got this cd i thought it would be good but i was blown away by how amazing it was! His voice is great and all of his songs are catchy and great to sing along to! tracks like "Pink and Black" "Gald" "Rollin Home" and "Our Time" are some of my personal favorites but whatever genre of music you like ...

Amazing CD: Tyler Hitlon's CD is awesome! If you like John Mayer or Ryan Cabrera this is a most have CD for your collection! All the songs are fantastic especially "When it Comes" and "Pink and Black". Make sure you pick up this album!Jacqueline Wolfshialover@charter.net

Buy this CD and you'll thank yourself!: Tyler Hilton....a name you might not know now, but for SURE will within the upcoming months!

AWESOME: Absolutely amazing so relieving of my neck pain. I have an invert table and this does the same thing but is much easier and takes up so much less space. Its feels like having a chiropractor pull up on your neck like when they do traction. I love it.

What A Slap In The Face To Masami Ueda: Do NOT buy this cd. Ever.

Too simplistic: While Mr. Harrison makes some extremely valid arguments in this book , I wish he had also explored why the Anglo-protestant culture , which he holds up as"best in class" went about enslaving the world and what impact this has had on various countries , whom they enslaved.Perhaps some of the progress tho...

Don't do it!!: The high chair looks great when it first comes out of the box but it is all down hill after that. It is impossible to keep clean. The finish is flaking off, after less than 6 months of use. It is not worth the struggle to keep up. If you already have it, call the customer service number and order a secon...

Looks nice, low functionality: I have used this highchair for 2 kids now and finally decided to sell it because I did not like it. It's a beautiful chair and looks great in the kitchen. It's much nicer looking than the 'plastic' ones you see. What I don't like about this chair is the day-to-day functionality of it. It ...

compact, but hard to clean: We have a small house, and really wanted two of these high chairs for our twins. Space-wize, they are great; they have a small footprint and look nice along side the rest of our furniture.The 2nd tray and the slide-out cup holders are a great addition to this high chair. The shelf under the ...

what is it saying?: not sure what this book is supposed to be. It is really just a rehash of very old ideas about Carroll with some pop culture uncomfortably tacked on. The 'myth' has been dealt with far better by people who really seem to understand it (it's too deep I think for Brooker's milieu), and the pop culture ...

Makes My Blood Run Red-White-And-Blue: I agree that every American should read this book -- and everybody else for that matter. I don't agree that it's scholarly.
