1.0 out of 5 stars Does Not Work, January 20, 2010

The design is poor. There is no way for the bottom to spin because the parachute rubs against it. There is no weight to the front end, so the rocket often tumbles through the air. The workmanship is poor. A fin quickly fell off. This is a cheaply made toy that doesn't do what it says on the box.

2.0 out of 5 stars RUBISH FROM THE START!, December 30, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: SkyRocket Paraspinner (Toy)

My brother and I got 2 packs of these for Christmas this year and us, along with our dad were super excited to try them out. We took it to my schools field (with grass that is not super hard) and within 10 minutes the first one broke. Then it all went down hill from there. By the end of our trip, about 45 minutes, all 4 had broke in some way, quite poorly constructed. Even if they hadn't fallen apart, they had plenty major issues like for instance, 3 out of 4 didn't spin which is really bad because the spinning makes the parachute fly out and not crash land, and that is the whole point of the rocket! Over all DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, it is worthless.

2.0 out of 5 stars super bad, December 30, 2011

The parachute did not deploy 1 time. The only reason I rated it a 2 star is because it still flies.You should NOT buy these.
