"At the large annual family camp-out in the northern woods of Michigan, there are two outhouses and one is a few hundred feet into the woods down a narrow trail."
"Pros: Awesome light, haven't had any issues with any I have bought. Cons: None. Great product , wish more people used them while hunting to mark areas they are while public land bow or rifle hunting."
"Always use one as a nightlight in our tent, tie one to the dogs collar, and let the kids play with them."
"The plastic is thicker they are individually packaged with a lot of air in it so it would do well packed in a backpack."
"The hook and hole on the plastic handle are good for putting it temporarily to illuminate an area while hanging it on a wire, a crevice on the wall or a nail on a pillar. But even on most emergencies a nice tactical led flashlight will be orders of magnitude brighter, my 65 lumens led flashlight illuminates a whole room when pointed toward the roof, it just does not last as much as this SnapLight. I could not verify the full 12 hours (fell sleep....), but it seems to me they can last that much. In short in outdoors is where this device is truly useful, where the wind and/or rain would make cumbersome other methods of lighting and signaling. About the seller and shipping: =======================. On a side note I bought it directly from Amazon, but they ship it without any padding on a big document envelope, while the envelope itself has a little padding, this is too thin and the box containing the sticks got a little mauled."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Early this year I purchased new large 2016 sets of Magnatiles and Picasso tiles and ran them through a few hours of comparisons. Picasso tiles are about 1% larger and heaver, but the Picasso Tile magnets may be 1% stronger (yep, you read that right). (As in, for every extra 100 square tiles in a build, Picasso tiles have the added weight equivalent of a single tile). If Magnatiles really outshined Picasso Tiles in terms of stability, I was ready to pay the premium price, but as hard as I tried to show a clear or measurable advantage for the Magnatiles currently being manufactured, I couldn't. ------------------------------------. Background: After buying Picasso tiles two years ago, I have always wondered if I was missing out on a much better product in the Magnatiles brand. Picasso tiles have a 100-piece set priced at $100. Magnatiles are approximately twice the price for anyone who needs to purchase within 90 days (because the Picasso tiles go on sale much more regularly). Picasso tiles weigh an average of 27.52 grams per tile (a 1.03% difference). From a physics standpoint, the reinforcing lines inside the Magnatiles (which criss-cross through the middle of the tile) are more logically arranged to distribute forces throughout the tile and prevent breakage. I believe that it is this tiny ~1% size difference that makes the Picasso tiles slightly heavier overall (they are 1.03% heaver per tile). Basically, if you use 971 square Picasso tiles in one build and 971 square Magnatiles in another, your Picasso tiles build will weigh the equivalent of 10 extra tiles. If the tiles are assembled randomly, the difference would be small, but if you did a whole row of Magnatiles next to a whole row of Picasso tiles, the difference could be a little problematic. I'm going to start by saying that I kept the tiles from each brand stacked in identical piles and worked my way down through the stack, using a new tile for each test. The Picasso tile magnets were able to attract test object A at an average distance of .95 mm from the edge of the tile. The Magnatiles averaged .75 mm (so the Picasso tiles were able to pull something from farther away). Test object B resulted in Picasso tiles having a range of .55 mm and Magnatiles .5 mm. Basically, in the most conservative measure, the magnets in Picasso tiles are every bit as strong as the magnets in the Magnatiles (and may even be 1.1.-1.27% stronger). Now, because the Picasso tiles are slightly larger, it is possible that the size difference is on edges outside the magnets (I do not have the tools to be able to measure something this small very well). It is possible that this means that the magnets in the Magnatiles are slightly closer together when the tiles are in place side-to-side (too small of a difference for me to measure) yielding a tiny stability advantage. An alternate possibility is that the magnatiles magnets are placed further into the tile (by less than my measurable amount of 1 mm). (I'll put up a video of just one example of the tests run-you'll notice I didn't swap the tiles out in that video as it was a preliminary one, but I repeated the test with new sets of tiles and the video accurately reflects the results. Because the Picasso tile edges are about 1% larger, we know that there is (1% or less) more plastic (therefore space) between the magnets when a tile is placed perpendicular to another tile in a build. If you don't have tiles, you might want to know that the tile does not sit on top of one it is perpendicular to; instead, it is just outside the tile with the corner edges touching. There were no build differences using actual tiles, even in large builds; they failed at the same point every time. In a truly massive build, this would confer a very small advantage, but for all intents and purposes, this was a real-world wash. Summary on magnets: Let's say as the most conservative estimate that the magnets are identical from the same factory in China (even though the Picasso tile magnets measured 1% stronger, which seemed to negate the fact that the magnets may be slightly farther apart in building). As previously mentioned, the Picasso tiles *may* have a tiny bit more plastic between them on the edges, do have a tiny bit more plastic between the magnets placed perpendicular to each other, and are slightly heavier overall. I conducted additional large build tests, having the subjective impression that Magnatiles might fail about a split-second after the Picasso Tiles, but every time I found a difference, I went through and made sure the tiles were in exactly the same position (the tiles can sit slightly inside/outside of the tile beneath the one it is "connected" to). When I took the time to ensure that every tile was in the exact same position, I could never find the difference that I kept thinking I would find and both sets of tiles failed at the same point on every build test. ***Requests - Picasso Tiles, if you read reviews, I strongly believe you should be offering rectangles (the shape of two small squares side by side) as your primary building shape."
"The only notable difference between the two brands of tiles (other than price) is that MagnaTiles have round metal rivets in the corners that hold the tiles together."
"Magna-blocks and Picasso tiles are completely interchangeable, almost identical."
"Together it provides a nice combination of boards of different sizes and shapes for kids to build things out of their imagination. I am ordering more magnets for him to that he can try out anything he likes, hotels, hospitals, school, etc."
"We discovered these at a local children's museum and my oldest spent quite a bit of time playing with them even after the other kids in his class had left."
"I purchased the magnetic tiles after seeing how all the children in my grandson's pre-K class loved playing with them."
"They don't fit absolutely perfectly with the regular magnatile brand, but they aren't so far off that you still can't build with them (I think the need for perfection is worse for Mommy and Daddy than our 3yr old!"
"They are expensive but children really like them."

We have not had the viewer long so I cannot speak to how it will survive a 5 year old...but I can tell you it was wonderful to see him and hear the excitment in his voice as he explored the dinosaurs and space."
"One huge drawback is there's no headphone hole, so content that uses sound to enhance the experience suffers. If I paid $30, i'd probably be disappointed because really I just wanted a google cardboard viewer to look 360VR movies and digital side-by-side stereograms."
"If you like a cheap way to play with the VR, but hate the 'aesthetics' of the ugly google cardboard - get this."
"Publicly available VR movies/apps worked fine for me, although as with most smartphone VR viewers you can't control the content or even change the volume without opening the VR."
"I have enjoyed the VR package that it comes with, but I have also used for the free apps that work with the google cardboard technology. I downloaded other apps and they work perfectly with this device. I have enjoyed many hours of youtube videos, google street views, and others and I have had no problems at all. If the user doesn't have bluetooth headphones, we basically have to turn up the volume from the phone, and hope for the best. It would be a lot easier using the device itself, but you can't because the camera is covered by a translucent plastic."

"They don't do stairs and that's what we wanted them for :( you probably need the longer ones)."
"Slinky was one of those toys, and - recalling how I was mesmerized by my Slinky "walking" down our stairs as a child in the 1960's - I'd really looked forward to introducing my oldest grandson to this classic toy when he was 5 years old (I'd purchased a "Slinky Jr." at the retail level, which was a complete waste of money, and having told my grandson I'd purchase a "REAL" Slinky, like Grandma had when she was his age, I purchased a single pack of this "original" Slinky.). I can only imagine that those rating this Slinky highly as a toy had never experienced the original, or didn't actually try it out themselves prior to giving it as a gift and imagining the joy it would bring to a youngster (as I'd thought it would.). They changed SOMETHING, and this is NOT the "original" Slinky! I'd given up on my TRUE ORIGINAL Slinky search, but I really wanted my grandsons to be able to experience what I had, so I typed "Vintage Slinky" into a Google search, found several and purchased a "used" vintage Slinky from a reputable vendor."
"Dissapointed they didn't work at all and I have an older house with smaller sized stairs in certain parts :(."
"These are either not good quality or my kids are extremely rough."
"They look like the original and mostly act like it, but are either not big enough or not long enough to go down any of the staircases we tried."
"Not like the original at all."
"Pros....it's a slinky. Coms..it will not walk down stairs...seems to be smaller than the original one as I remember...or Maybe the we're a lot smaller."
