Great gift idea. November 16, 2009
Reviewer: John Martin from St. Louis, MO United States  
Purchased for a child, but enjoyed by all. The reality on the instructions is that there are only few steps and it is working just fine.

The only problem I had was with the provided adhesive strip for the cone which  goes over the assembly, so I just introduced my own tape to bind them. Not rocket science.

The box comes attached with 4 color process small magazine style instructions and pictures. To be honest the japanese instructions printed within this attached magazine atop the box notched up its cool factor a few degrees. If it came in anything else, it might seem like it was purchased at Walgreens.

While that last bit is not a knock on the quality, just that without the great packaging in japanese, and wonderful pictures, this product just isn't as intriguing on the outset.

Makes a unique gift idea that you can be sure will be enjoyed by any child or young adult. Perhaps a few adults as well, considering Lava lamps once were a big seller.

Not much to this, but kids get a kick out of it October 31, 2009
Reviewer: Tyler Bennett from Cary, NC United States  
My 12 & 13 year old grandkids liked this little kit quite a bit.  Easy to put together and fun to play with in a darkened bathroom or closet.  You get some nice color patterns.

There's not much learning here, just some fun.
