If you love headaches and disappointment, I suggest you buy that Crystal Radio kit. Instructions (even the included pictures) are awful and many people had to go and bug a different diode to actually get it to work. You also need lilliputian fingers to be able to get the things together.

Bionic Ear - It really bugs me when I can find the exact same thing on Amazon for $23.00 (with free shipping when your order is over 25 bucks) And there is another version (that looks the same) called the "Educational Insights Sonic Sleuth" for $21.46!

Night Vision glasses.
You would think that WOOT would know that it's parent company sells these for less. $15.54 Amazon Prime.

For $7 the Kitchen Chemistry set lets me make flip-flop slime?! I can eat that right off the flip-flops I have now for free...

Awesome that some parts of some of these kits have not changed in 40+ years. The giant beige earphone (& twisty wire) to the radio... the switches on the circuit board kit... probably most of everything just with updated packaging...

The dinosaur is not a T-rex, it has too many fingers. Personally I don't care, but my child would be disappointed. Never underestimate the passion of a boy and his dinosaur knowledge!

You sure about that?

Don't get that "Treasure Tracker" for you kid unless you also teach him/her the Metal Detecting Code of Ethics http://gometaldetecting.com/Code-of-Ethics.htm and get them an experienced and responsible detectorist to help them get started. Might just as well get a good detector that you too can use (not this toy).

Interesting that they dropped the price on the Poof-Slinky Bionic Ear by $11 the day after my first comment. But too little, too late -- already ordered from Amazon!

Unfortunately, they are not deals if Amazon offers it for less.
