Missing half the parts
My 3 year old opened this xmas morning and there were no screws, clear pieces, or the red rocket parts. Target is replacing but seriously? It was xmas, I had to say I'd file a complaint with the elves

Beautiful and unique design, poor quality :(
The paint on the doll's face is scratched off near the eyes and mouth. The paint is on the inside of the helmet. I was inspecting the toy before wrapping it as a gift. I can't give this as a gift to my niece... Beautiful design but poorly made. I'm very disappointed. The sticker on the inside of the rocket is not stuck well and it's lifting up.

4 year old loved it

Proceed with low expectations
Great toy but the drill doesn’t work at all. Just opened a pack of new batteries & still nothing. Also, then product details on this app say it requires 3 AAA batteries, but the physical manual says 2 AA. Obviously the main issue is the fact that it doesn’t work at all

I'm sorry that our Design & Drill Bolt Buddies Rocket didn't meet your expectations. I did just double check our guide, and do see everywhere says that 3 AAA batteries are required. If you'd like to reach out to our customer service team they'd be happy to replace your drill. Please email us at GetHelp@EducationalInsights.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Great gift!
My 3 year old nephew went NUTS for this gift. It was an absolute hit. Definitely going to be buying him more of these toys.

A robust little rocket!
My son was eager to dive in and quickly start taking this robust little rocket apart and using the drill to put it back together again. He found it a bit tough to get the nose cone and base on, so I had to help him with that. It was also a little tricky for him to get the dog to slot into the rocket otherwise he really enjoys playing with it. I can see how the way he plays with it will develop and change as he gets older. He's already started to become more creative with it using the launch pad and moon as a backdrop to his space fuelled stories! The box opening out into the backdrop it such a fantastic idea, we loved it.

Almost perfect
This was purchased as a gift for my son's third birthday. He absolutely loves it, that is, until he tries to play with it. The drill concept is a little advanced for a three year old but that didn't stop him. What DID stop him was the door to the rocket constantly falling off. Seems to be just a poor design on that one part but because that's really the only movable part aside from the screws, it can be very frustrating for both of us.

Not played with enough
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the kids had some fun playing with the rocket in the beginning. But after they put it together and took it apart they kind of lost interest. Now it has been sitting in the toy room untouched. Will probably be donating it later. I received this through bzzagent to review. I am not paid for my review.

So engaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. It was easy to build and my daughter loves to play with this a lot. She tries and fixes everything with the drill. I like that it's not noisy and doesn't have small parts. Highly recommend it
