Tyco NSECT, Scary boys toy!
Review of Tyco N-Sect by
gt5952
Advantages: Advanced toy, develops imagination and play, and brings out the mischevious side of kids!
Disadvantages: A little expensive,
...The The Tyco N.S.E.C.T. is a definate boys toy, and frankly freaks me out, which is why a certain little someone probably likes it.
Bought some time ago, it came in a broken state, however, good old Tyco, are sorting the matter out!
It was bought for about £80 in Toys R Us Swansea, and lay unopened for some time until its new owner came over.
As a toy, its quite advanced, and despite the cost, is actually quite good value for money.
Its made from a tough ABS plastic shell that houses all the workings, strength wise, the body would absorb a knock, but the legs of the thing would probably break.
In a nutshell, its a robotic spider, it has 6 legs, two eyes (LED\'s) two jaw like pincers, and the real attraction, a rear end that opens up and shows a multi rocket launcher, that fires a few missiles at the touch of a trigger...

Ciciu
Advantages: Helps Improve Concentration, and general PC skills
Disadvantages: Batteries essential,
...on with it a little more by himself and to hear him giggle away when he makes something happen is very rewarding.
Positives
1-Great for learning basic computer skills
2-Plugs in to the TV so no tiny screen like the laptop versions
3-Saves worry of the child accidently deleting something on the PC or clicking on some website that is inappropriate
4- He no longer even attempts to touch our PC as he has his own
5- Introduction to numercy, and phonics
6- Teaches perseverance
7- Helps improve concentration
8- Sturdy
Negatives
1- Mouse can be very sensitive on some games, while not so on others
2- No adapter for the keyboard so batteries essential.
I bought this from Toys R Us for 34.99 They are generally on sale for between £35-£50 so definately shop around. John Lewis also had it advertised for £35 before Christmas. Where as Ebay bids were going up...
