2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty in the box, but what a nightmare!, August 22, 2004

This review is from: Shrek 2 Deluxe Ogre Micro Playset - Far Far Away Castle (Toy)

My 5 year old Son loves Shrek, and a friend bought him the potion playset for his birthday. It was just a little thing, but he enjoyed it so much I went out to buy the castle. Well, I made a mistake! It looked so nice in the box, and with all the features like trap doors, stairway, secret passages, I thought I was buying the ultimate playset to jarr his imagination. Sadly most of your imaginative energy is wasted trying to find ways to keep the pieces connected, keep it standing etc. I even reaaranged it in diffrent ways to see if it be more sturdy (Interlocked the sets,tried different angles, etc) nothing. If it wasnt for the things it can do, i would say it was a total peoce of junk. My son was happy just playing with the back part pf the castle, with the transformation rooms and trap doors. NOTE*** It looks as though the castle piece with the towers and drawbridge is supposed to somehow connect to the rest of the castle, when in reality, it just sits in front of it, and only looks good from the front. Its useless otherwise, and the little snap on pieces fall off constantly, not to mention it tips over at the slightest vibration.The Drawbridge doesn't even do anything! If you still insist on buying this toy, I would suggest just keeping this piece in the box and forgetting about it, or just using it for display. On the other hand, any Shrek collecter would be thrilled with this, like I said, for display only, as long as they don't let any little hands play with it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Castle is not durable, July 4, 2004

The castle is not durable at all, you spend much of play time trying to keep the castle from leaning or falling over. The gingerbread man paint is starting to fade after only 3 weeks. Disappointing and frustrating toy. Not worth the money!!
