5.0 out of 5 stars Really neat!, December 27, 2006

By	D. M. Kilgore "SuperBookWorm" (TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is really neat. It lights up and spins and all that good stuff. The "comet maker" is really only a tiny flashlight... and be prepared to put some pretty good size holes in your ceiling... but it is a great thing to watch and very educational when used with the soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neat, January 4, 2007

By	J. Leigh "jleigh7" (chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Planets rotate on 2 tracks to give the illusion that the planets are all moving at different speeds (an effective illusion).

It would have been nice if the ring of Saturn were semi translucent plastic rather than cardboard.

Since Pluto has been downgraded from planetary status you can perhaps hang the Star Trek Enterprise orbiting the outer solar system, the Borg cube, or the Death Star (the geek potential is high with this...)

3.0 out of 5 stars less than expected but cool looking, December 16, 2007

By	Mir "Mom of boy" (California foothills) - See all my reviews

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

flimsy. I bent wires to hold planets on, then glues other end of wire into base, otherwise, planets can fall off easily. Motor is so loud I wonder if I got a lemon, but someone else complained of this too. The moon is cool, but battery door came broken....planet decals torn. Overall quality less than usual for Costco....but looks really cool nontheless!
