I played with these as a kid (a looong time ago) & they worked very well, the toys concept is very simple yet we as a society have been sucked into this "cheaper is better" product mode either by our own greed or lack of choice in the marketplace and we get junk like this in return. The pump is super flimsy (the old ones used a metal rod not plastic) & doesnt seal worth a darn thus the rocket only shoots up 5 feet or so & it only does that 1/2 the time. I returned this one & bought a more expensive one here on Amazon ($9) & unfortunately its no better (the rocket fits so tightly on the pump its about to break every time you try it). It went back along with this one. We need to stop buying this communist chinese garbage and tell manufacturers/retailers we wont purchase their products until they stock better quality goods. Bottom line is this could be a fun toy if properly designed/manufactured!

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Annoyed, August 8, 2010

The end of the pump handle broke off the first time I tried to use it. The one time we got it to work it went about 3 inches into the air. The pump's seal did not work at all after that. Not worth the money to send it back, but hoping to warn others. I should have read the reviews before I bought it...

I have bought several of these for my daughter, myself (Yes, I am a big kid at heart), and for kids in the neighborhood. They are always in good condition when I get them and every one has worked well. I loved this back in the 70's as a kid and love it even more now because I get to introduce a whole new generation to something that is so simple, yet is so incredibly fun! This is better than any video game or electronic gadget. All of the kids in the neighborhood will come running when they see me and my daughter playing with this. They all want a turn shooting it off and it never gets old. This kind of toy is what fun is all about. : )
