 Do not buy this product July 12, 2008

The toy itself is fine but the website is worthless. We were unable to get to the main page. The help desk told us to access the site without using our internet provider. Apparently some people are accessing the website via magic. Anyway - we are taking this toy back and getting a Webkinz instead.
 So, so June 24, 2008

The toy is cute, but the website is not adult friendly, let alone child friendly...needs way more work!! Not very much to do on the site, and very slow loading...webkinz is way better.

We gave this to our 9 yr old son for Christmas, and he really likes it. He loves the toy, and that's good enough for him. He hasn't gotten on the website yet, but I know he'll like that, too... he's into that kind of stuff.

The penguin Wii toy is adorable. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my grandson who is wild about penguins. The nice thing about finding it on Amazon was that no stores in the area carried it. It was shipped quickly and arrived in great shape.

I bought this "toy" as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend (cheesy, I know). I was going to do the International Star Registry gift certificate but thought a cute [...] option was much better than shelling out nearly [...] for a piece of paper. However, the site has serious technical problems. I logged on with my "secret code" and named my animal and chose my constellation. However, I was never given star coordinates. I went to print out my certificate and the constellation is listed, but the coordinates box is left blank. My star chart also shows no star. I emailed customer service, who were responsive, but it is now nearly three days later and I have been assigned no less than four accounts and have bought another bear to try again - to no avail. I am calling again tomorrow, as I am a customer who simply wants the product she paid for. There were no coordinates assigned to any of the accounts created for me. I don't know how it happened, and I'm not sure customer service does either. In short, it's been a frustrating experience for something that should be very simple. Buyer beware - I'm not sure the technical aspects are quite up to par yet.
