Customer Reviews

A great idea for a toy, but lacking in durability4
This was an impulse buy for my three year old and it turned out to be a lot of fun.



It's as simple as it looks. It sets up instantly and requires no skill or explanation. Load rocket> Stomp > Cheer!



Two different rocket heads (one with a whistle, one with streamers) give the younger kids a choice on what to launch - which is great.



The rockets have foam heads on them that guarantee that they won't be damaged on crashdown - and they won't injure any little heads they happen to hit.



Two quibbles:



1) There should be more than two rockets.

2) The rockets should be more durable

The foam head and stabilizers fell victim to my son chewing on them by day two (not the product's fault - but worth knowing if you're thinking of buying for younger kids).



The real disappointment is in the rocket tube. Thin walled plastic that is easy to crush. Ours had near-fractures in them by the end of day one.



The launcher is practically bullet-proof, so no complaints there - but if my son trashes the rockets that came with this and still wants more - I'll likely be shopping for a more durable replacement set.

Fun toy however cannot find replacement rockets3
This rocket launcher is a lot of fun, however, by the end of the week both of the rockets had been stepped on and broken. Once they crack, they do not fly very well. I have searched all over for replacement rockets, but cannot find where Air Hogs sells them. Very disappointing! I will be ordering the other system w/the foam rockets so maybe they'll last a bit longer!

Kids love it - could have more rockets5
This is a fantastic toy for young kids. Simple cheap, lots of fun. But it only has 2 of the foam rockets, so if these are lost or broken the fun could end.

After buying this I noticed Amazon also sells a "stomp rocket ultra" that comes with 4 rockets and the "junior stomp rocket" where you can buy "junior stomp rocket refills". There is also a "jump rocket" that seems to go higher than this one. All of these are also highly rated, so this whole class of toy seems very good.
