Blast Pad Pro Rocket Launcher - Kid and Air Powered Fun - Largest Rocket Soars 90 FPS - Super Durable Rockets and Stomp Pad Launcher - Top Outdoor Toy for Boys and Girls 3+ Years and Up

Given to my godson for Christmas 2012 and it was a major hit.Adults were able to launch the rockets no less than 120' into the air. The kids' were amazed. My three girls and my godson couldn't have been more excited to wait in line for their turn to launch the rockets.The whole kit comes packed in a box that is more akin to a carry case, because Marky Sparky had the foresight to use Velcro, instead of tape, and included a handle - a very, very nice touch. It takes about 10 seconds to set up - take the tripod out of the carry case, insert the launch tube through the bottom, place a rocket on the launch tube and jump/stomp on the stomp pad. Physics takes care of the rest.Like all of the Marky Sparky stomp rockets, the stomp pad isn't hard plastic and can stand up to the pressure of a full-grown man stomping on it! This is a first-class stomp rocket. The rockets, themselves, are thin plastic tubes that are both light and stiff enough to handle the rigors of high flying. The tripod is sturdy enough for its application, for sure, but we did have a little problem with the launch tube coming out of the bottom of the tripod during some launches and loads.Because of that, I'd recommend the Marky Sparky Blast Pad Advanced Missile Launch System over the Air Bolt. That said, though, the Air Bolt is awesome and perhaps better suited for older kids. We had a 3-year-old, a 4-year old, a 5-year-old, a 7-year old and a 40 year-old launching this thing. The littler ones would have, definitely, fared better with the Marky Sparky Blast Pad Advanced Missile Launch System, but the older kids would have enjoyed either.Kudos to Marky Sparky for another terrific product!

I saw this product at a local toy store. I got it considerably cheaper here. The rockets are durable but don't take too kindly to being bent. They are basically thick straws. If you fold them they won't hold air as well....as anyone who's ever tried to drink from a broken McDonald's straw has found out. It was very easy to setup. My son did it by himself. Had the whole family and even the neighbor's taking turns seeing how high we could get this to fly. Definitely worth the purchase price!

We have had this out once so far and our nephews loved it. Neighbor kids flocked to join in the fun. We had a blast, but the materials are not as sturdy as we hoped. It has survived one outing and we hope many more but I was asking kids to "be careful." If you are looking for something to add to an outdoor activity I would recommend this product. If you are thinking it will be around for years to come --- doubtful.

I gave this toy to my 3 year old granddaughter to play with at the beach this summer. She never used it at the beach, but it became her favorite toy when she tried it after coming home. She liked it so much that I got her the larger version for her 4th birthday. She opened it on her birthday, and my son immediately set it up at the park where she had her party that day. The kids at the party lined up for hours for a turn to launch both the small & larger rockets. They also used much energy chasing the rockets as they returned to earth after their launch. This is without a doubt one of the best gifts I have ever given to a child. I recommend it highly.

My son is 11 and I bought his this for Christmas. We have had several before and always had fun. Stomp rockets are built lite so they go further so inevitably they don't last long. This is the same but wow it really flies high! Just wish a company would build the stand a little better. But, of all the stomp rockets we have this has been the best.

I bought this item for my grand son's 4 year old birthday. We had a mall picnic and the adults enjoyed it as much as my grandson. It was a hit. My son sent me the link, so I knew it was going to be enjoyed by all. The adults had contests on who had the highlaunch.

My family loved this toy, and you can launch the rockets unbelievably high. If you leave it outside the pvc will break down and become brittle in what seemed like a short amount of time.

We have had a lot of fun with this . It's worth noting if you get some of the shorter rockets they almost double in hight when you launch them.
