The snap-fit assembly system offers 2 more advantages. One is that you don’t need glue or paint anymore. The other is strongly connected with this fact. Because you don’t need glue, really anybody can assemble it. Usually it takes quite some talent to assemble such a model, but thanks to the advanced snap-fit assembly system even people with 2 left hands are able to put it together!
“That guy” says about the Gundam MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame PG 1/60 Scale:
I finished putting this model together and I can say that it is by far the most durable and sturdy of the pgs available. This model has got a good balance and no part of it is too heavy. All in all, it is a must have for every fan!

Because of ots snap-fit design you don’t only save time, but there is also no need at all for glue and you don’t have to paint it either because the individual pieces are already colored exactly the way they are supposed to be. This Gundam Master Grade Freedom Gundam Model Kit has bee imported from Japan to ensure its quality and integrity and the instruction manual is in japanese, which may not help you with putting it together but it certainly shows that this model is a genuine piece.
“Bobert” says this about the Gundam Master Grade Freedom Gundam Model Kit:

Blade mSR RTF Review by Nick Johnson
Have you ever flown a Blade CX3 or mCX? Then this would be the logical next step! It has been 100% factory assembled, test-flown and is ready to fly straight out of the box. So you don’t have to be technical at all to get going with this RC helicopter, instead you can just take it out of the box, put it together and start flying!
Have a look at the features:
- Perfect for anyone who has flown a Blade CX3 or mCX
- 100% factory-assembled, test-flown and ready-to-fly
- Unique rotor head design provides nimble response plus positive stability
- Includes 4-channel 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter
- Includes 4-port charger that charges four batteries at once, plus AC adapter
| Fun-Factor |
|
| Durability |
|
| Price/Value ratio |

Now even though it is quite easy to get going with the Blade mSR RTF, this most certainly isn’t a toy for small kids. You can do some serious flying with this little helicopter, you most probably wouldn’t believe it unless you see it for yourself! This set includes a 4-channel 2.4 GHz DSM2 transmitter.
“Caraculialambro” says about the Blade mSR RTF:
This helicopter is perfectly if you are just starting out! It is quite small, but that really not a disadvantage, its rather an advantage! You see, especially if you are new to RC flying, you will crash. A lot. But because there isn’t much to this helicopter that you could break, it is really hard to damage!

| The Good |
- Small
- Easy to fly
- Lots of opportunities
|
| The Bad |
|
|
Conclusion:
I can highly recommend this little helicopter, if you are either starting out with RC flying or if you have been flying for a while and want something small that can do some real flying! The Blade mSR RTF might be small, but it will be very hard to damage so you can take risks and crash it!

“Joel L. Palmer” says this about Traxxas Slash 2WD RTR Race Truck:
Normally, RC controlled cars are verything but durable and affordable, which is a real shame. But with the Traxxas Slash 2WD RTR Race Truck, that is completely different! It is so strong that I even let my wife run it – and now she wants one of her own! I can highly recommend this monster truck!

Pure Fun 12-Foot Trampoline and Enclosure Set Review by Nick Johnson
With the Pure Fun 12ft trampoline and enclosure set, you get the best of 2 worlds – it is big enough to allow great and exciting jumps but it is not yet a professional trampoline, which is mainly noticeable in the low price of this 12ft trampoline! With its strong and rust-resistant galvanized iron steel tubing T-section construction, combined with its W-shaped legs this 12 foot trampoline is incredibly strong!
Have a look at the features:
- Trampolines made with strong, rust-resistant galvanized iron steel tubing using patented T-Section construction
- Snug, secure fit of T-Section assembly ensures extra stability and prevents shifting over time
- W-shaped legs with eight balanced contact points add stability and prevent wobbling or tipping, and high-performance steel springs provide deeper

It is 12 foot big which is fairly large, however it will still fit in most gardens. This 12ft trampoline is easy to assemble, you neither need tools nor any extra drilling. Simply follow the instructions and you can easily build this within an hour. I especially like the safety enclosure which includes sewn-in elastic net straps.
“C. Moening” says this about the Pure Fun 12ft trampoline:
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and up to now, I really like this trampoline, especially for this price. It is both solid and was very easy to put together, altough it did take 2 of us.

Conclusion:
All in all, I really think that this is one of the better trampolines I have reviewed up to now. With its 12ft it has got the perfect size for both kids and adults, even though it is not a professional trampoline. With the included safety enclosure set you don’t have to worry any longer about your kids hurting themselves and the trampoline is really strong and stable!
