Architecture, Art, and Imagination central, all in one toy. Fantastic!

Standing 3-4 ft tall and all that for 13 dollars, I am kind of surprised actually. No Jokes.

Aha! I need to get the submarine so we can paint it yellow for our little 3-year-old Beatle fanatic.

This part in the description is odd, though: "... the submarine can be worn by a child." Probably not by a child who's 3 feet tall.

Cool! I'm almost 30 but I'm going to get the castle for my Harry Potter room. My 5 y/o nephew can get his own.

Okay, so we do still get large boxes for our kids as it is, but I really love the idea of me NOT having to pull out a utility knife & making random cuts for windows & all that jazz & just having a fun easy winter project to beat the blue when it's too cold to roam.

I haven't quite worked out where it will go or how to paint such a large item indoors in the winter, but I am sure we'll figure it out.

How about the kitchen, bathroom or garage? A shower curtain (or 2) from the dollar store make's a great drop cloth for painting projects. When you're finished painting, it can be thrown in the washing machine and cleaned on the "gentle" cycle.

How do I add a second woot item to my order? I want safari cruiser and undersea adventurer.

Just put 2 in the quantity and it will let you pick the design for each of them separately

Does the door of the castle open?



[MOD: Yes, the castle door swings down like a bridge]

How big are these when they're shipped / flat-packed? I'm wondering if they would be small enough to fit nicely into a suitcase to take to my nieces overseas...

Is the castle something where you can play inside it or is it more of a supported wall to play behind?

And can the kids sit inside the submarine to play? I see that it can be worn, I'm just wondering if the kids can get inside it to play somehow?

I'd been looking at something like this on another site. Their sale price was $35! At this price, I'm thinking of buying 2 for our home & maybe an extra to have on hand as a gift. When I see great sale prices like this, I'll grab an extra so when my kids are invited to a birthday party, we have a great gift ready to go.

This is a two-fer because they arrive in another play environment called a box.

Sooooo... who did all that coloring?

Microsoft Paint did all that coloring!

I want to know this, too- it looks like you can play IN it- if so, that is a great deal! Does anyone know the answer to this?

I love it that they couldn't find kids small enough to make the assembled products seem big... so we get the standard stock photos.

Remember that 3' - 3.5' is from the tallest point. These are really not that big.

this is much cheaper than buying a new refrigerator and a box of markers

I have had a couple of these and they are very easy to just flatten and stick under a bed or in a closet when not using it. For the coloring part I just gave my kids markers and we all went crazy
