1 Stars Major Dissapointment!
We purchased this for our child for Christmas. It was the ONLY toy on the list. The toy was a huge hit Christmas morning for about 30 minuites…then is stopped squirting water. We tried EVERYTHING,blew out the air, filled the tank, called Mattel direct the next day…Mattel put us through a series of tasks and explained that air frequently gets into the system. Nothing we did fixed this item! Thanks Mattel, you knew there was an ongoing issue but still put this thing on the market just in time to make little kids sad for Santa!

5 Stars Fun!!
My sister got these for her grandson’s. When she showed us what they do we had to get them for our Grandson’s who are into dinosaur’s. My husband got such a kick out of them that we got one for him as well. I’ve taken it to work and have had fun with my fellow co-workers checking him out and getting sprayed.

4 Stars Screature Fun
My son loves this toy. He carries it around like it is his own personal pet.

5 Stars Couldn’t stop playing with this little guy
I bought this for my nephew who is 5 and he loved it ! He loved the sounds and the fact it interacts with you. I think he played with it all night long. I loved the fact that it came with batteries already inside. I think it’s a great toy for kids who like dinosaurs or robots.

5 Stars How can I return it?
It seems like a very nice toy. My grand-daughter is crazy about dinosaurs so I bought her this one for Christmas. Unfortunately it was the wrong one. She already has this toy.

Now I am stuck with it unless I can return it. Please tell me how to return it so I can buy myself a book with the money instead.

Twilight “Lion and Lamb” Keyring/ Bagclip

Made of sturdy metal measuring 4″ and includes charms of the lion, the lamb, apples, faceted beads, and the Twilight movie logo.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Nice Idea, poorly made
I love the Twilight Saga and all “stuff” that comes with it. I purchsed this to hand on a hobo bad with the rest of my trinkets and charms from various weekend adventures. I was amazed that this key chain/charm began falling apart within a week. It was entirely overpriced and didn’t hold up as well as my favorite cheapy charm/keychains. I was very disappointed.

2 Stars Buyer Beware!
My daughter received this keyring as a gift and was thrilled. However, after hooking it on her backpack for only a day it fell apart. We repaired the keyring, but it continued to fall apart. Now she has the keyring pinned to the display board in her room. It’s really pretty to look at, but to use it, forget it. She even tried to carry it in her purse but with the same results.

5 Stars Love it!
I love this new keychain. The only problem with durability that *I* can see is that a couple of the rings which attach the charms & crystals were not closed all the way. Simple matter of looking it over carefully & using needle nose pliers to close any that needed it. As stated by many, this item is not shiney silver - it’s a flat pewter color which I think is still very nice looking. The charms are all one dimensional & the “crystals” are some sort of shiney cut plastic (which you’d never know unless you touched them). I removed the keyring from mine & attached the chain directly to the clip, which hangs from the review mirror in my car. All in all a very attractive item, perhaps priced five dollars too high however.

5 Stars Twilight “Lion and Lamb” Keyring/Bagclip
Brought as a Christmas gift. Can’t wait to see my daughter’s face as she saw same in a store & said she liked it. It’s very sturdy. Hopefully it will endure the wear & tear of her school bookbag.

4 Stars Not as bad as some have rated this!
I was skeptical when I ordered this as some of the reviews were quite bad. This is not anything great but I guess this makes a good gift for a teenager who is into the Twilight book/movie. I am not disappointed. For the price we pay (around $9) it is a good buy. I like the lion and the words “twilight”- they look quite good. I hope the teenager I got this for likes it too!

5 Stars Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great toy, so easy to transform. I really recommend this toy to any Transformers fans.

3 Stars Not for small kids
This is a great looking toy! But…It is not for children under the age of 8 y/o. It’s pretty hard to figure out how to transform back & forth.

2 Stars Lesser Barricade
i wanted the barricade that came with frenzy mini figure, but the price was ridiculous, and this wasn’t worth however much i paid for it either. feet don’t stay on too well, arm design is pathetic at best, transformation is annoying, not difficult, just cheap. the only thing that could have revived this toy was frenzy, but not anymore.

4 Stars pretty decent for the price
This Transformer is one of the easiest to transform. On scale from 1 to 10 (1 is easiest) I would say 4 for a grownup, not a child that it is intended to which is 5+.

1 Stars Broke on Day Two
I ordered this for my son. He found it interesting, but wicked difficult to transform, and while playing with it the second time, part of it broke. I would not recommend this to anyone. I’m forty and I could barely transform this toy between the two forms. The moving parts continually snapped out, needed to be put back together, a task I found annoying and at times difficult. But then again, it broke, so now I don’t have to do anything with it except try to return it and get my money back.

Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Breakaway

Serving in an army of robots tied to the ground makes BREAKAWAY unique. He is one of the very few among the elite AUTOBOT flyers, and he is unmatched for speed in a straight line. While other pilots focus on aerial acrobatics that confound the enemy, BREAKAWAY is content to speed over a fight at seemingly impossible velocity, releasing bombs and missiles that strike their targets before the thunderous boom of his passage can catch up. Team up with this faithful ally and get ready to take on DECEPTICON forces! In robot mode, check out this super-cool AUTOBOT soldiers spinning gatling cannon! Then, with a few twists and turns, change the robot figure to fighter jet mode and gear up for lots of high-flying adventure!

4 Stars awesome toy great size
bought for my twins christmas stocking. looks awesome in package. wont know bout durability til then. but good size so its worth the price alone. paid more for smaller size transformers elsewhere so a good deal here. would recommend to anyone. also bought the chroma motorcycle transformer and am equally happy with it.

3 Stars Kinda disappointed
When I first saw Breakaway in the stores, before ROTF release, I decided I needed to get him. Even though I knew he wasn’t in the movie, I collect TF planes and the fact that he had a F-35 JSF mode made me all the more eager to get my hands on him.

In plane mode, he is amazing! Good, accurate details… I can’t ask for more in Deluxe class toy. Had this been a Voyager, you’d expect a firing projectile and stuff. But as a JSF model, this is classy and very realistic looking. The paint job/ camaflouge is ok too… can live with that.

Unfortunately, that’s where the good stuff ends.

Had a little trouble tranforming to robot mode, but once I did…. I was massively disappointed at how small his head is. His face/head is pretty much a “pilot’s helmet” inside the cockpit. While it looks normal in the pictures, in reality… the head is the same size as a Legends class toy!!! Add in the fact that his head is a same height as his shoulders (instead of above), giving him a hunched-back look. The latter I can live with too, but not the tiny face/head. Plus the cockpit glass keeps getting in the way, so from a distance, you can’t really see his face.

The other complaint I have is that Hasbro didn’t need to give him feet with four ‘toes’. In robot mode, it looks funny. In jet mode, they look really weird when they’re tucked away at the bottom of the fuselage. What was wrong with plain, rectangular feet?

All in all, I’m a bit disappointed. And the Mech-Alive feature isn’t too great either! I’m just going to keep him in plane mode mostly.

That said, he is same size and looks great next to some of the other jets I have - Dreadwing (Mig-29), Starscream & Thundercracker (F-15s) & Sky Warp (SU-37).

5 Stars favorite toy
My grandchildren love to play with transformers. In some points they are challenging, forcing kids to use their brains.

I enjoy playing with transformers too.

5 Stars cute but fierce
This is jean`s son.I got this from santa and with three transformers in one box!The robo mode is great because it has a sub-machine gun, very detailed and people say the cockpit can`t open but I waned to see his face on the outside so where the big cocpit is lid it up and taadd you have it. The vehicle is detailed but no guns.This toy made it the best christmas ever.

4 Stars Nice looking jet that looks like a F-35
The transformed is a good looking F-35 fighter jet, and on its own a good toy. The transformation adds more fun.
