Kids love it, but breaks VERY easily Feb 13, 2008
By often frazzled
"mom of 4"
After reading other reviews that said how easily this broke, I bought 2 of these for my 16-month old. A friend of ours has one that she loved, and I'd searched for months trying to find it (without knowing the name of this toy). Both my 5- and 3- year olds love this too! It's a very cool little toy, but it really does break easy. My son dropped this on our linoleum kitchen floor... the red and blue handle snapped in half like it was nothing... quite a waste of $5. on the other one, the battery compartment won't stay securely on. I had to tape it down. Make this more sturdy, and it'll fly off the shelves better... its just the weakest plastic I've ever seen in my life... so beware of that!

 Arrived Used and Broken Nov 01, 2011
By Dan the Man
This toy arrive in terrible shape. Discolored, obviously used, covered in an oily residue, which was also in small droplets inside the globe itself. The globe was scraped up and the batteries leaked causing rust on the battery connectors. SO THE OILY SUBSTANCE IS PROBABLY ACID OR WORSE WHICH IS NOW CAUSING DISCOMFORT ON MY SKIN EVEN AFTER IT IS WASHED OFF. To top things off the toy wouldn't work with brand new Duracell batteries! For $5.99 I cannot waste the time to send it back!! Lesson - don't buy from Hobby Trading Company...EVERMeteor Storm LED Changing Pattern Spinner Wand!!!!

 Meteor Storm Globe Dec 31, 2007
By S. A.
My son loves this toy, but one drop of this on the tile floor or outside and it's garbage. If they were more durable, it'd be a lot better. We're currently on his 3rd replacement.
This is also good for children with poor fine motor skills, which is how it was introduced to us in the first place.

Very disappointed-broken when it arrived Jun 26, 2009
By CA Mom of 2
"CA Mom of 2"
We love this toy. We had one that we bought in a store several years ago and my girls LOVED it!! So when I saw them on amazon.com I had to buy some new ones. Unfortunately, when they arrived, one of them was already broken when we opened the box. Very disappointed in the quality of these toys. The one we had bought in a "brick and mortar" store has lasted for 3 years with my daughter playing with it all the time. It broke when a friend bashed it over and over again on a tile floor. But these online ones seem very flimsy and broke easily. Will not order again from here.
Just don't drop it! Jan 06, 2012
By Britt
My nephew had one of these and my little boy instantly wanted one, so I bought one to put in his stocking at Christmastime. Well, we were traveling out of town and the globe didn't even make it back home in one piece. It was dropped by one of his cousins on the floor and, although surprisingly it didn't shatter, a couple of the little light pieces broke off into the globe. There is no way to get them out. Now whenever we turn it on it makes a really loud clanking sound. If we could have avoided a fall, this would have been great.
