4 out of 5 stars My kid and I had a load of fun with this...   November 14, 2007

My 5 year old son and I have a great time with this toy. First off...he loves the dissolving alien rocks. I suggest you buy extra though. The mold and clay were fun to make. The only thing that isn't good is the veiw finder. It's not that it's blurry, it's too small...they need to make the opening bigger and the slide art bigger too. The best part though is the disolving rocks. My kid had fun using the beaker,filling it slowly with water. I suggest, don't tell your kid which creature is coming out so he'll be surprised. I'd say this is a toy for a big Ben 10 fan. I love playing with it with my son.
Note some folk have said it's not durable...it's very durable...nothing has broken when we play with it and also that it doesn't fit all the pieces. It was not meant to hold everything. It's an action playset to use with other figures too.

This was THE item my eight year old wanted for Christmas. We searched high and low finally paying too much for the product. While it looks cool, the RV doesn't hold together very well. The balls that dissolve and turn into aliens are a one-time deal and most of the rest of the set hasn't been played with since Christmas.

The action figures get more play than the RV and everything connected with. My advice is to save the money and pick up a couple of the action figures because your kids will get far more fun and use out those than this set.

It really was cool in theory but rarely gets played with.

My son (6 yrs old) really was excited to get the lab for Christmas. Not the best toy. This toy needs a lot of adult supervision, it has many little parts. The disc viewer is very blury, we haven't even touched the goop it came with. If your child is a big Ben 10 fan like mine all of that dosen't matter, he thinks it is a cool toy. I don't think it's worth it , but I'm not a 6 year old boy.

My son saw this advertised on tv and begged for it for Christmas. I looked for it everywhere and finally found one last one on the shelf right before Christmas and thought it was a great score. Wrong! After playing with it for 10 minutes, watching the Alien "balls" fizzle like Alka Seltzers til they exposed a couple of cheap, plastic toys, he completely lost interest. The van is poorly constructed and the parts do NOT fit back in, nor does it stay together. Just TRY to store it on a shelf without it falling apart and spilling its contents everywhere. This piece of junk is going right in the give-away bag. And my son won't miss it!

I have two major complaints with this toy...

1. It is not durable at all. My boys have not had much time to play with this toy yet, but there are all already plastic pieces broken off of the vehicle just from moving it around under the tree.

2. There are a number of pieces included with this toy, and the vehicle itself is too small to store the accessories.

It seems to be poorly built and poorly designed.

The only reason I gave it two stars was for the alien forms that can be made in the beaker.

This toy won't last long at our house before it sees the recycle bin.
