Toys and Games Reviews of Harry Potter Wand with light and sound
Customer Review: Can I give this zero stars? Cheap and not worth it - costume prop, not toy
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this for dd2's birthday today. She took one look and knew it was not what she wanted - she wanted something more authentic looking.
This is a costume prop - she wants a quality toy.
I should have known that you "get what you pay for" but I overpaid - $10 for a dollar store item, IMO. In fact, I remember buying something like this (on sale) for just $1 or $2 for dd#1 a few years ago (without the fancy box). But I was in a hurry and this looked like it would "do the trick."
Not only does it look cheap close up, BUT, we couldn't get the battery compartment open to put batteries in. Either the screw never worked or I stripped it, even tho I keep 2 little phillips head screwdrivers specifically for opening battery compartments on toys and they work on everything else. It's so recessed I can't really see what the problem is.
So, she was willing to give the substandard wand a try, but no go - we couldn't get the batteries in. it's back in the box and it's going to be returned.
BTW, the package I got (not from ordering here) is similar, but it's silver - not green and yellow. so don't let slightly different packaging fool you.
I don't really have money to toss, but she wants "the real thing" either the higher-quality resin wand or the wood one - both run b/n $30-35 - a whole lot more money, but this just isn't worth the package it's overwrapped in.
