I bought one each of the blue and pink. I would caution that if you are purchasing this for a boy that the blue is surprisingly a bit lighter (almost turquoise) than I expected, and I am not sure how a tween boy would react in general (mine did not go for the color).

I don't expect this toy to have a lot of staying power. The included music is pretty obnoxious. However, the speaker is decent for the price of the game, so if you have a kid with an mp3 player, this should be good for some limited interest. The idea is essentially to tap to the beat. It was difficult for me to gauge the size based on the picture - it is about the size of a coaster and the depth of 4 stacked CDs.

This toy is impossible for most children to use. There is no way they can be fast enough to keep up with it. Very frustrating for them.

Very easy to play, my son likes to use it as a speaker to hear the music from his mp3. Cool idea.
