This review is from: Giant 31" Aircraft Carrier (Toy)

We got this for our son's third birthday (along with a DVD on aircraft carriers and a trip to the USS Midway in San Diego). Of course, he absolutely loves it and although he's only had it for about 2 weeks now, has played with it every day. It is huge, with 2 catapaults to launch the supplied aircraft that come with it, and also has a few great sounds/flashing lights. It is quite a realistic recreation of an A/C carrier and must say that, having been heavily into aircraft as I was growing up, am tempted to rewind the years and play with it myself sometimes! The only couple of negatives I would say are:

1) The planes supplied with it are made-up ones, more akin to alien aircraft. They aren't any of the usual fighter jets you would see on real carrier. Not a huge deal, but a little odd, given everything else is pretty realistic.
2) The planes are also made out of thin plastic, which is probably intentional given that one of the features is to be able to catapault these off the deck. However, I do question durability.
3) The bridge of the ship is a seperate piece that slots into the main deck. However, the slot is pretty thin and it easily keeps coming off - I am considering glueing this down.

Having said the above, the ship is pretty large and durable overall and has space to store the supplied planes beneath the main deck. Love the aircraft elevator too! To conclude, I would say it is on the pricey side for what it is (paid $55 on Amazon), but my son does love it so probably worth it in the end!

My son wanted an air craft carrier to go along with his battleship. I saw this one on Amazon and thought he would love it. And, he does!! Both of my boys play with it daily. It seems very durable and has stood up well to many battles! Well worth the money!

Even though this runs out of batteries, I still like this toy. Sometimes I choose this toy over video games. The planes look like battle planes. Not too small, not too big, but just right. Better then all other tools.

Parent's note: My son loves this toy, but I feel that the included planes are really small cheap plastic things, but my son seems to like them. That is the most important thing. He does play with it often, but it a bit big with very little moving parts, so seems that it would not be that exciting, but he does enjoy it. I would say that this was a bit too expensive for what it is, but Jake saved and paid for it with his own money and thinks that it is worth it.
