Toysmith Nightscapes Review

Overall, I'm happy I got this product, but only because I cdn't care less whether the constellations are correct. The star map that is provided is next to useless. Only a few of the constellations were visible on the ceiling, and I had to play games with it to even get those. I ended up just putting up random stars everywhere. There is more than enough paint to do an average-sized bedroom.

A black light is essential when working in order to see what you've done. As stated in other reviews, the paint doesn't hold a charge well, so if you just work in the dark, you won't be able to see the stars you've painted. Set the bottle of paint next to the black light while you're working, and it will help make it more visible when you use it.

Also, the stars don't hold a charge all that long (maybe 20 minutes of good visibility after the lights are out). If you want to see them for longer or if you like to be able to see them when you wake up in the middle of the night, you'll need a black light for the room.

Oh, and be prepared for the fact that they glow slightly green. I think that's unavoidable with glow-in-the-dark paint.

Toysmith Nightscapes Feature

• The 12-page booklet contains complete instructions
• Recommended Age Rage Five & Up

not so easy! - jasblue - iowa
I bought this item to add a little something to my son's bedroom. The paint looks cool when it is dark, it does look like stars in the sky, however, the glow does not last long and you have to continually turn on the lights to recharge. When painting, the projection light does not stay strong and burnt out rather quickly. You have to move fast, in a dark room trying to touch little corresponding cylinders to the correct projection on to the 8ft ceiling (kills your neck) before the light and the paint stop glowing. When light is on,the spots are not real noticible, you really have to look for them, which is good. I did this on a dark ceiling (navy) and I still need to do more, but since the light burnt out I am just randomly placing the dots, it still looks cool and my 10yr son is pleased. so in the end that is all that matters!





for begginers... - Roberto A. Mercado Rivera - Puerto Rico
it's not bad, but for the price, I could not expect any better. It is a little delicate, but will not break so quick. The ink is the important thing here, since the stars can go anywhere you want. Nobody will know the diference...

Awful Valentine"S Day Gift - Jon_Strange - New York City
I don't know what my girlfriend was thinking. Sure I like space and educational toys on occasion, but really? For Valentines day? Really? I guess what I'm saying really isn't directed at the toy just more at an appropriate occasion for giving this gift. Ladies do not buy this for your man for any holiday except maybe April fools and then bring out a better gift like, "hey look I got you this terrible planetarium that you have to make yourself and it really won't work that well and you'll step on it the day after you built it and direct your anger at me and not it's poor construction errr I mean your poor construction as you had to build it and did not use enough tape." and then like, "oh, just kidding, april fools I actually got you this other thing that is way better." Hopefully it's a BJ. Also, just because they sell it at Urban Outfitters doesn't mean that it is fun or cool, most thing there are not.





Poor Qualty - J. Shakes - Washington, USA
The theory is that you

1) Punch holes in a piece of cardboard, according to guides printed on the cardboard,

2) Use two-sided tape to form the cardboard into a dome, then

3) Place the dome on a light, so each hole projects a "star".

Each one of these steps has problems, though.

1) No holepunch was provided, so it's unclear how big to make the holes. Making the holes is tedious.

2) Although the instructions say that two-sided tape is included, in fact my box contained one-sided tape, useless for the intended purpose.

3) I never got to step 3.







Long and painful assembly - Christian Lee - Airmont, NY United States
Just to assemble the northern hemisphere required over an hour of painstaking work, about half of it punching holes and the other half carefully taping it together. The double-sided tape (included) was nearly impossible to apply without messing it up. The finished result was lame -- just a scant few stars from a handful of constellations. Most were so distorted that they were unrecognizable. Moreover, even the slightest misalignment in the dome let through light leaks. Either spend more money on a higher-quality star projector or, for about the same price, buy some glow-in-the-dark stars and use a star map to apply them to the ceiling.





Fun to build - Lynn Arbuckle - Chandler, AZ
I built this with my nine-year-old daughter. I used a small finishing nail locked in a pair of vise-grips for piercing the holes in the constellations. My daughter had fun doing this. You push down on the light to turn it on & off (4 AA's). Double-stick tape is a little tough to work with but the cardboard patterns are accurate and fit together well. We put it in her room & she was impressed with the ceiling pattern it projected. Would be more educational to have a color paper map to study while looking at the ceiling.

Check Out Laser Star for $99.99

Laser Star Review

This was just what I was looking for. I wanted something like this for my 18 year-old daughter's room. I ordered a couple of different projectors to compare which one I liked best and this one won by far! When I first turned it on in a dark room, I went Wow! and then grabbed my husband to see if he felt the same. He did. I liked it so much I bought another one for my 12 year-old daughter. Now it's the first thing they show their friends.

Laser Star Feature

• Moving Sky-Show Extraordinaire This staggeringly vivid night-sky projector features green, laser-beamed moving stars and cloud cover and, according to Paul (our in-house astro-galactic display maven), "adjustable-intensity nebula.
• If that means you can lie supine and happily stare at it for a few hours, we agree, particularly if you cue up the Dark Side of the Moon album at the same time. Or skip the Pink Floyd, and use it to lull the children to sleep.
• Not an astronomically accurate sky, of course, but you're definitely not going to care. The unit is approx 11" tall on a 9-1/2" x 8-3/8" oval base and plugs in via a wall adapter.
• The manufacturer suggests a maximum 4-hour duty cycle, white or light walls and a very dark room. Has mounting slots on the base.

Laser Star Overview

With this Laser Star kids can wish upon lots of stars when they transform an ordinary bedroom into their own private star-filled universe. Two built-in precision glass lenses, plus a green laser and holographic technology create thousands of stars and an amazing light show. The coolest most amazing light shows you will see anywhere. Laser Star creates thousand of stars with or without cloud formations. AC adapter is included. Simple to use, just plug it in. It includes a built-in key-hole slot for optional wall mounting and it measures 3.75" x 11" x 8.5".

Doesn't Last!!! - K. Cullip - JOPPA, MD United States
It simply doesn't last. Cheaply made. Would be okay for five or ten bucks, but no more!!!





Great....while it lasted - Samy Adams -
This product was pretty sweet for the short time it worked. After about several hours of use, the motor that rotates the "stars" started making a really loud hum as if it was struggling to keep moving. The lights still work no problem, but unfortunately the whole motion effect is gone. I bought mine from spencers, and I dont know what their return policy.

All in all, this is a neat little toy thats some cool effects to your dorm room, or even a larger room. However the exterior casing seems like its poor quality, and the motor also seems to be pretty cheap.

Not worth a 0





Laser Review - Galina O. Hall -
I just received my 3rd laser. Past 2 failed after 1 to 2 month of use . And this is using it about 4 times a week for about 5 hrs. My strong advise..... find something else. Laser Stars..9 down the drain 2 times now.





Very Cool - D. Blei - Chicago, IL
A friend showed me one of these and it was very cool. I purchased one a few months ago and it still works great. It impresses everyone that comes over. This is probably the best star machine out there for the price. I thought there were supposed to be shooting stars but they dont show up. You can kind of see the pattern of the stars but it is still fun to look at. Would recommend.
