Great Nostalgic Toy!
"This is great! Reminds me of one my grandmother kep in her toy bin, when we would go to visit. It works just the same. It's terrific for a wide range of ages, boys or girls. It captivates my daughter!"

Brings back memories!
"I remember having these when I was younger. Very cool. My children were not so impressed and my son bent it but I still gave 5 stars because my kids are really hard on their toys."

Very fun, old fashioned toy
"A friend of mine bought something like this at another store and it was broken within a day...my son was very disappointed. I bought this one and it works wonderfully. I remember having one as a child and I loved it. I put it in his stocking to open Christmas morning. Now, my son, husband, and I try and see who can make it go the fastest!"

The 70's are calling.
"Take a trip back in time with the all too familiar Gyro wheel. Spend hours getting your technique perfected from a fast snap wrist action or my son's favorite slow,go Gyro flow!"

Great Stocking Stuffer
"Put this in my son's stocking and it was a hit. Both he and his Dad love to play with it. Simple, but entertaining."

Great toy for the price
"This is a great toy! I bought it for my son's Christmas stocking and he really enjoys it. Frankly, I love playing with it,too. When my son bent the metal frame I was able to bend it back and get it to work again quite easily."

Wonderful stocking stuffer
"We bought these as stocking stuffers for our children and we also bought one for each of our stockings! They were a hit and since are not in the stores the kids were SURE they came from the North Pole, which was a bonus! Everyone that played with them asked where we got them, and after we said Santa, we would whisper Land of Nod. Even the kids that heard that thought it was a magical place, and well, it is!
Buy extras to share so you can keep your own!

Great Nostalgic Toy
"This is one of those great nostalgic toys that a kid can't be without. As a "grown-up" I thoroughly enjoy it myself."

Just Buy it!
"Come on, it's only four bucks! How can you go wrong? There are some nostalgic toys that are just that- nostalgic. They may not actually be fun for your kid. This is not one of them. This one is fun for babies and toddlers to watch and older kids to do for themselves. It's well made, functional and (did I happen to mention) fun! Perfect size for a stocking too . . ."

Another High Quality Old Fashioned Toy
"This is another toy we bought as stocking stuffers for our kids and for relatives. It kept the kids busy and continues to be pulled out to play with almost a year later. There aren't many toys that stand up to that test."

Great old fashioned toy!
"This is a great retro toy that if you remember playing with as a kid you will still love - it is hard to put down! It is a stocking stuffer for my son so he hasn't played with it yet, but I know he will love it! Great price also!!"

Blast from the Past!
"Purchased two of these for my children for Christmas. I bought them mostly because I remember playing with mine as a kid and always loved this toy. I tried it out before putting them away for Christmas and it is just as fun now as it was when I was a kid. I will enjoy watching my kids playing with something I loved so much! I may have to buy more for the rest of us!!!"

Worth it!
"I bought this item for myself, as I remember the one at my Grandma's house that I always played with. I have not found this item elsewhere. It's a decent replica, but not as sturdy as Grandma's, which is to say that the track got bent fairly quickly. Still, it's a good toy and I would buy this again (and I may have to)."

no one can put it down!
"These were stocking stuffers several yrs ago. They were on a tray in our family room and everyone would either reminisce about theirs from childhood or fall in love with it. There is something entrancing about them!"
