Radica Usa Ltd Skannerz UPC Scanner Game: Commander

My son just got this version, he already had the green version. Basicly, skannerz are toys that read bar codes to collect monsters and creatures, and battle them. It can be any bar code and that is what makes them the perfect grocery shopping toy! No whining about how long you are taking anymore. Now my son is happy to follow me down the aisles and scan items... This version is a bit better in that there are more monsters available. There are a limited number of monsters to collect so the more, the better. There are also more options with this unit. You can choose to do battle or run, something you can't do with other versions...and if you win a battle you gain another monster. The flip side is if you lose a battle, you lose the monster. But the changes do make for a better game. The game takes 3 AAA batteries and you do need to change them a bit fast or you lose the data which is really frustrating for your kids. There is also a reset in the event of an electrical problem. Which also clears all the data. I did have a problem with the other unit and the company customer service is going to send another one so they are quite responsive and that is very good to know. Overall, I am very happy with this as it gives my son something to do during a time when he is usually quite bored. shopping!

i bought this toy for my children and they have just had so much fun with it

Needed this lmao

This skannerz toy is very easy to use and fun to play! My kids and I love it! entertaining!

My son's friend had one of these toys, thus began the search for it since the stores have stopped selling them. I think they have been discontinued by the maker. Still he has enjoyed it and he loves to go to the store with me now because he can scan all the bar codes he wants. No real educational value unless they want to grow up and work at a grocery store. My son is 9 and it might be hard for some younger kids to use this toy.

My 9 1/2 yr. son received a second one for Christmas. His first one was a lot of fun until one of the buttons jammed and it quit working. This new one did not even last past Christmas morning before becoming jammed. Now it does not work either. I am very disappointed in this product. When it works, it is a lot of fun for kids. Problem is, it is not durable for use by a careful child and won't last a second in younger, less experienced hands. It also is difficult for yonger ones to make the scanner read bar codes. Younger ones will have more fun helping you scan in the self check out. I will not be buying another one of these and do not recommend this at all. There are better values for $20.00

a nice birthday gift for my son. he loves to explore things and places.. this skannerz will surely make him excited to go with me in the hardware store.
