I just bought several of these for gifts. One of the kids I bought it for may be allergic to wheat. Well, little did I know that when I actually received this item, on the back of the box it states that it contains wheat. Who'd have thought!!! I just wanted to let everyone know about this so no one purchases it without knowing about the wheat warning.

I purchased this toy [...] from Amazon for part of my 4 yr old son's Christmas, mainly because it was on sale and he likes Aliens. It's a great toy, well made, easy to use, and lots of fun, and would be worth paying the regular price.

This "deluxe" set includes the alien maker spaceship set [...], plus a martian landscape and extra bottles of goo.

To make an alien, you fill the hatch on top of the spaceship with "Meteor Mud" (playdoh), then snap in several of the mix-and-match alien pieces on the lid and press them in to make a mold. Then, you fill the impression with "Lunar Lava," top with a play-doh circle to seal, and let it dry for about 5 mins. The resulting alien easily peels out of the play-doh mold. You can put him in the space-ship, or the light- up martian landscape.

The spaceship is quite neat, and has more play value than most play-doh type sets I've seen. It has little hatches the aliens can sit in, storage in the middle, and holds important items like tweezers, plastic knife, and rolling pin- plus it looks cool and you can make it fly around.

One interesting factor is that the outside of the alien "sets" while the insides are sill runny, so you can dissect the alien and let his "gooey guts" run out, or roll him with the rolling pin to make him splat. We haven't tried that yet, but I can see it would be great fun for slightly older children. The little aliens will dry out after a few days if you don't keep them in an airtight container.

When I first put the set together, I thought it would be too difficult for my 4 yr old to do by himself, but he has figured it all out. My 8 yr old daughter thinks it's neat, too. The price is so good it may be worth picking up several just for refills.

All in all, a great toy.

This is just like making creepy crawlers without the baking. Just wait 3-5 minutes and the mud dries the goop. My child is 5 and he loves choosing the different kinds of aliens to make over and over, and then squashing them in the volcano and/or disecting them.
