2.0 out of 5 stars Needs a hundred markers to complete, March 29, 2009

My son started using this product with great enthusiasm. After partially completing three of the 20-odd pages all of his markers had run dry. The markers contain some sort of solvent that removes a layer of black ink that hides the 3D drawing underneath. I tried the markers myself and they did not work anymore. The markers become filled with black gunk almost immediately. My son discovered that if you bash the marker tips really hard against the pages some disolvant spurts out and you can make some small progress. I was ready to give up when I started trying cleaning products from under my sink. It turns out the "green" Clorox product will remove the black skin and reveal the drawings underneath. We ended up using the Clorox product and half a roll of paper towels to finish the remaining pages. It was a filthy job. However, in the end, my son really enjoyed looking at the pictures with the 3D glasses. Next time, I'll just buy a book of 3D pictures. This product is only good for 2 or 3 of the 20 pages. Not recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, poor implementation, April 8, 2009

My son saw these on tv and really wanted one- it looked cool enough for me to think it might keep him busy. It comes with 12 scenes, 3 patterns and 3 plain sheets. It comes with 4 pens that are all the same- you just color and it essentially uncovers the scene. Unfortunately the pens wear very fast even if you use them perfectly, which seems to be almost a 45 degree angle for the most contact and my son wanted to just scribble with the point down. If the pens lasted longer or the set came with about 3 times as many, this would be a great thing, but it just is the failing point. The 3D part works more or less as advertised, my son thought it was pretty neat anyway.

Great Crayola! My daughter absolutely loves (she's 7) and draws all in it all the time. I got it for her a week or so ago from Amazon (looks like all other websites are out of stock), it came really fast and she's been using that ever since. I don't know why previous reviewer said that markers are poor quality and she couldn't get the picture to come up, all works great here. Well worth the money!
