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.
