I highly reccomend this toy to anyone. Although I think that the reccomended age is slightly off. It is most likely to be of interest to someone older than 14, rather than a child 8-12 years old. Also, the balls can get moving at a rapid pace, and they are very hard, so be carefull, being hit because of a missed trick can be a little painfull.

I have one, and absolutely love it. Once you get the hang of it, the only limit to the number of fun tricks you can perform is your imagination.

This toy gives the impression of being unbreakable, swung full speed against a wooden door, the door lost.

As far as educational value goes, there is some bodily/kinesthetic educaitonal value, and possibly some indirect understanding of physics to be gained, but mostly its just god clean fun.

My son really seems to like this toy. I think that he thought it would be a bit more intuitive to use...that he would be able to just *do* alot of the tricks right off. When he first got it, it took a little while to get the hang of it, the feel of it.

I was watching him and he seemed a bit ....stumped....at first. Like he really thought it would be a bit more yo-yo like, or something. The instructions come with very little in the way of hints and tricks... they should as this is a different type of toy. That said, there is a website with this kind of thing.

He has had it for a while though and is enjoying it now. I would suggest this especially for older children. Rarely are truly *new* toys put out on the market so this is a worthwhile new addition.

This review is from: Astro Jax Saturn with Orange Stripe (Toy)

this toy in fun all the kids play with them during passing period.and the to has high durability to with stand the blows of concrete if some kid were to throw it step on it or drop it.this toy is not that educational ,but it will expaned the kids memory by memorizing the trick they can do with the astro jax.it was scientificly proven that if a man were to memorize specific cards in there right order from top to bottom it could and will expaned your memory.that will might even be capable of helping you do your job or helping you in school.also the fun factor is so high kids will just sit there with his /or her friends playing there laughing about what they can do. they might even have a challenge to see who is the best.That will help thre parents et there work done or go shopping in peace.Thats why astro jax ar good toys and will keep a kid occupide for hours.
