Brush roller would not work right out of the box, but I had thrown away all the original packaging so I had to take it to a local repair shop which added 50 dollars to the purchase price. Works fine now.

Ok,my HD player of choice was HD DVD. I own about 100 HD DVD disks. These players were far less expensive than Sony Blu Ray. The movies were generally less expensive than Blu Ray. HD DVD had more features, easy to update on line, less expensive...easy choice. The dreaded evil Sony corporation w

Product Description:

Rev up little imaginations with this fun and engaging building set. Part of the award-winning Gears! Gears! Gears! line, the Floppy Jalopy set lets little ones assemble a remote control car, then watch it wiggle, spin, and spring to life as it rolls along on four sturdy wheels. The appealing 133-piece set features special gears designed to make this custom ride the talk of the block, including flashing headlights, silly springs, glow-in-the-dark eyes, and a floppy hood "mouth" that opens and closes. With the help of a simple wireless remote control, young designers can take their new car out for a test drive. Color-coded instructions provide easy-to-follow assembly instructions for four different models, or build your own wacky creation. Should more than one Floppy Jalopy roll onto the scene, young drivers can create a Floppy Jalopy derby by using one of four different frequencies on the remote control. Compatible with all Gears! Gears! Gears! building sets, Floppy Jalopy offers expandable creative building play. To really get the gears spinning, this jalopy's motor requires 3 AA batteries (not included); the controller requires 4 AA batteries (not included). --Heather Lyndon
Kids can create big time fun with the Floppy Jalopy car-building set. Set includes 133 pieces including a remote controlled infrared motor with a 25' range, headlights, windshield, bumper with license plate and even a hood "mouth" that opens and closes. Kids can follow the simple, color-coded instructions to build the Floppy Jalopy or use their imaginations to build a one-of-a-kind vehicle. Requires 7 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures approximately 14" x 8" x 8" when assembled.

Floppy Jalopy
2/25/2008
This toy was bought for my child therapy practice and I took one look at the contents and knew that it was too complicated and had so little reference to a real car that there was no way to relate to it. I am going to give it to my grandson for his birthday, and I wonder if he won't find it too complicated also. Your basic gears are much more useable and allow the child to create their own fun. I will buy one of those and let the kid create their own jalopy.

Fun if you can build it yourself
1/15/2008
We got this toy for our son's 4th birthday. It is definitely way too hard for him to put together himself, but like another reviewer said, it was fun for him to identify the pieces by color and to fetch them to dad; BUT all that being said, 100+ pieces quickly lose to the short attention span of a 4-year-old boy. Dad kinda messed up in the end, because the robot didn't move right (it clicked and clacked but struggled to go forward AND backward at the same time). He then realized he forgot a few parts! That could be a criticism on the instructions or my husband's ability to read them, so I will leave this to your imagination. Overall, my son was thrilled once it worked, but he played with it for a few minutes and that was it. I think this will be a better toy in a few years when he could do the building all by himself. I am going to stick to Legos for now. He plays with those for ever and ever. He is also a fabulous marble-run builder. Perhaps when he tears the Jalopy apart and builds his own concoction, it will be fun (though it might not move). I dare say the best part of this toy is the name. My 2 year old and my 4 year old both love saying "Floppy Jalopy."

Jalopy Review
1/1/2008
Great toy and fun to put together and play with. Our 4.5 year old loves it. Part and gear meshing is relatively loose which makes it easier to put together..but a bit jerky while running. Remote control only allows for forward and backwards motion..no turning. Overall a fun toy for kids not ready for lego mindstorms.

Caution when removing remote pieces from packaging
12/25/2007
My kids were so excited to play with this toy that they couldn't wait for mom and dad to help them remove the parts. They broke the main gear box with the extendable remote for the car. The remote piece snapped off and it is impossible to glue back together because it is on a wheel. I would definately wait until your kids are at least 6 or 7 before purchasing this. Without the main part of the toy this car won't work.

Requires Creative Thinking
10/15/2007
This is a great toy for critical thinking and for following directions. We found that it takes a lot of patience for a four year old because he can't do much of the 'putting together' by himself - some pieces are a tight fit and the directions are complex.
