I got four of these, I think three or four years ago at Christmas. It's, um. . . the basketball player, baseball player, skateboarder, and uhhh... whoever the other one of one of the pairs is.

They are fun for a while. They are more fun when, of course, you have more, because when you link them they'll go into each other's cubes and party. When you shake an indivisual one they'll throw up. And of course they all have their one minigame, which is related to their hobby.

But the minigames are fun until you find the rythm. Then you actually find out that it's the exact same idea in every single game. In basketball, you have to time your shot to make it fall. Baseball, time your swing. Skateboarding? Time your jump. You start to realize that it's actually the same time span between each hurdle, each hit, each shot, when you are able to make it. Soon it's not very fun anymore - they all act the same, pretty much. After you've watched and played for an hour or so, you've seen all 100 animations they each have.

I'm not going to tell you to cancel the order or not go to the store, because for the first... week? they are fun. But you have to set them down for another month or so before you can tolerate picking them up again. My batteries have now died on all (little wonder, 4 yrs. old). They do take watch batteries. So you'll want to keep that in mind - if you play with them constantly they will die eventually.

But if I had free batteries right now I'd grab my screwdriver and have at 'em.
