(RP Minis): 9780762493418: Smiriglio, Matt: Books Review: Fun and silly gift - This is a silly gag gift and it’s exactly what it is—fun for a laugh. The light and sound effects are entertaining, and it’s a cute little novelty item. For about $7, it’s worth it if you’re looking for something goofy to give someone or just to have as a quirky desk toy. Don’t expect anything serious, but it’s a good little joke gift. Review: A must have if you are a UFO / Alien aficionado - This cool UFO item really made my day when it arrived. I had pre-ordered it before it was actually published. It comes in a cleverly illustrated box that is quite appealing. There is also a fun little story book that comes with it, that provides the backstory as to why the aliens are compelled to abduct cows that features some great illustrations. But the best part, of course, is the UFO that actually does abduct the bovine that comes with it! It took me a few tries before I figured out how to activate the UFO and then proceed with the abduction business, but, hey, had I read the instructions first I could have done it the first try (i.e., READ the brief and easy to follow instructions for the best experience). The small mound of grass that comes with this is perfect to nestle your unwitting cow upon for the abduction to come! No spoiler alerts, but the sounds the UFO makes when you make a "successful" abduction are quite fun to hear. It also makes a different sound if your abduction attempt is a fail. And yeah, the UFO itself lights up with some cool blue lighting effects, and also has the "shaft" of light to beam upon your bovine as you try to kidnap it. Lastly, there is a clear plastic "cone" that the UFO can rest upon, appearing to "hover" over your bovine, and thus is perfect to keep it on display to intrigue your friends when they come to visit. I had only one small problem, and that was the unit just did not operate at first despite following directions...I quickly opened the unit and inspected the batteries, and saw there was a small bit of corrosion between the batteries (these are button-cell LR44s AKA AG13s). A quick wiping away of this and all worked fine (but this is why things don't often have the batteries installed, so I'd recommend that the batteries be kept separate from the unit to avoid this, esp. for long periods of storage). I've owned a shop in the past that carried light up items such as these and it's just not a good idea to have the batteries pre-installed b/c leakage issues over time. You should easily be able to find replacement batteries when needed at the dollar store places, just be sure to bring the old ones with you in case you aren't sure about which ones to buy at the store as many of these button cells can look alike to the untrained eye. Overall, this is a great gadget, perfect for oneself, and a great gift for anyone that is into this genre of product. Great design guys, you really made a cool total package here!

IT'S AMAZING!
First, I want to apologize to the seller for the delay in my review. I live in Ecuador and had to wait for it to arrive. And secondly: IT'S AMAZING! It's the best toy I've ever bought, ha ha ha. It's so cool. The sound, how carefully it was shipped, and everything else made it a wonderful shopping experience! Thanks to the seller, they deserve their 5 stars!

AWESOME LITTLE UFO TOY!!
Sweet little product! Its pretty small, but that's kind of what makes it even cooler. Overall everything seemed really High quality. The packaging came undamaged and it has a really nice attractive outside box. The items inside are packaged really nice too! Each item has its own bag for the most part and comes with the cool little UFO chronicles book. Everything was clean, crisp and packaged well. I was impressed and it was better than I was actually expecting. And the product itself is great and seems high quality. The UFO looks nice, the lights are pretty frickin' sweet and the magnetic cow is an awesome little touch. The best part is everything also actually worked! Lights worked and the magnets for the cow worked and the on and off buttons....I do want to point out though, when I first tried to press his head it didn't turn on and I wasn't sure if I pressed it long enough but it was FINE! I guess I wasn't pressing it right or hard enough. But anyways, works GREAT! Also, for others, if your light doesn't turn on right away the instructions state the batteries get loose and to unscrew the bottom and adjust the batteries and it should work and if it doesn't at that point the batteries are dead...(HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME, I DIDNT NEED TO OPEN THE BOTTOM! I'M JUST PUTTING IT HERE IN CASE OTHER NEED TO KNOW!)

Bien hecho. Divertido. Con sonido. Con luces. Tirado de precio. Hace falta decir más? A qué esperas para hacerte con uno?

I bought this for my nephew who is currently going through a major alien/UFO phase, and he absolutely loves it! The little cow has a magnet inside and gets perfectly “abducted” by the UFO – he plays with it nonstop. It’s very well-built, sturdy, and the details are super cute. Really impressed with the quality. Highly recommend for any little space or alien enthusiasts

Välgjord. Mycket fiffig. Roliga ljud. Magnet som kan lyfta kossan - och då ändras ljudet. Rekommenderas!

Pourquoi est-ce un livre ??? C’est comme ça que ça m’a été vendu… Sinon c’est très chouette. Par contre la boîte est toute petite. Je m’attendais à quelque choses de plus gros mais ça va

If your into UFO's then this is worth the purchase its just silly and fun and cool.
