We bought one of these three days ago for my four-year-old. On day two, after using it as described in the "instructions," the string broke. We returned it to Toys R Us an hour ago, got a new one, and after using it twice, the whirly thing cracked. $10.00 and a child's expectations down the toilet. Thanks, Mattel.

My 7-year-old loves things that spin and things that fly, so he was very happy to receive this as a gift.

I don't see how he can possibly pull the string hard enough to get the top to fly to a decent height or distance. Also, after only having the toy for 2 hours, the string became completely tangled inside. I unscrewed it and forced the pieces apart to fix the string, but he hasn't played with it much since then. There shouldn't be any way to have the string jam if you are playing with it properly, so I don't consider this very durable.

Is it cute? YES Is it interesting? YES Is it durable? Absolutely NOT. Within 24 hours the propeller cracked. Even after a tape job it exploded (fell apart). I soon had a 4 year old crushed. Come on MAttel I expected better out of you! I think you owe a lot of comsumers an apology. My advice? DON'T BUY IT!
