Make two Toy-Con RC Cars, a Fishing Rod, a Motorbike, a House, and a Piano using engineered, pre-cut cardboard sheets and fun, interactive instructions. Then, Play! Steer the RC Car, reel in fish from the ocean, drive your Motorbike, interact with a creature in the House, and play tunes on the Piano. Then, discover how it all comes to life with Nintendo Switch~ technology and, in Toy-Con Garage, invent new ways to play! Grab your own markers, stickers, and more to customize your Toy-Con creations. Steer the Toy-Con RC Car manually, have it self-drive, or challenge a friend to a match with two Toy-Con RC Cars*. Race the CPU with the Toy-Con Motorbike, collect targets on bumpy terrain, or create your own tracks. Catch in-game fish with the Toy-Con Fishing Rod, then view what you've caught or create original fish with Toy-Con Piano in Aquarium mode! You can also play quick tunes with Toy-Con Piano, or record your own music. Insert blocks into your Toy-Con House to feed a creature, play minigames with it, and who knows what else! Then go beyond in the included Toy-Con Garage mode to invent new ways to play with each Toy-Con project in the Variety Kit or create your very own! Once you've experienced what it's like to Make, Play, and Discover with Nintendo Labo~, use everything you've learned to create your very own projects in Toy-Con Garage! Just take digital building-blocks called "input nodes," "middle nodes," and "output nodes" and, with the help of this intuitive tool's visual user interface, combine them in all sorts of different ways. Change a Toy-Con creation's reactions to button presses, movements, and more! Toy-Con Garage includes handy tutorials to get you started. Experiment with your Toy-Con Fishing Rod, Motorbike, House, and Piano, or craft original designs using your own items like cardboard and plastic cups, as you take your creativity and imagination to the next level! * Additional Joy-Con controllers required (sold separately).

Great for Families

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nintendo knows how to create unique ways to play. My kids and I have had a blast putting together, testing, tweaking, and decorating the LABO creations, and we are only about 1/4 of the way through. The cardboard is just sturdy enough, precisely cut and creased for easy pop-out and folding, and the instructions are very easy to follow. If you are looking for hours of interactive fun, pick up the Variety Kit.

Cheaper Option
on February 22, 2018
Posted by: ichthus14

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great alternative to the official Nintendo dock. Everything works (power, video, USB support) identically to the official spare, except there is only one USB port and the docking mechanism is not spring-loaded, so you have to set the Switch in a little more gently. For the price, I'm willing to make those concessions.

Got this one for my daughter. The BOTW amiibo unlock useful items in-game, and have the collectible quality as well. They are almost never in stock, so grab one when you can.

amiibo definitely have a gimmick feel, but at least they have in-game value in addition to their "collectible" nature. They are always difficult to find in stock, so grab them when you can.

Not Perfect, but Still Fun
on November 18, 2017
Posted by: ichthus14
from Ankeny, IA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I found one of these in stock at my local store and had to pick it up. Downloading the app and setting it up were straightforward (this does require a compatible smartphone). The headset and light saber controller are comfortable and relatively sturdy. I have had issues on and off with the whole AR environment "spinning", but I think this is coming from my phone, not the headset.
Give yourself plenty of space, and take on your favorite Star Wars baddies in virtual light saber duels. The "strategy" games are kind of fun, and the control feels surprisingly intuitive.
If you are a Star Wars fan and enjoy virtual/augmented reality games, give this one a try.

Access special game functionality with this Link Rider amiibo. It works with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and other compatible games, and a quick tap brings more fun to your adventures. This Link Rider amiibo figure includes the Zelda character riding a charging warhorse and brandishing a sword.

Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

This is definitely the Minecraft you know and love, and it includes a bunch of sample worlds. There are lots of teasers for DLC as well, but the fact that you get to Minecraft with Mario makes up for it!

Is anyone else concerned about the cardboard cutouts that are supposed to enhance gameplay/controllers? There's a premium added to the cost and simple logic would dictate that wear and tear will kick in very quickly, especially with younger children.

The cardboard is surprisingly sturdy for as thin as it is. Where extra strength is required, the kit has you roll the cardboard. I have a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old, and I would expect it to last for years of moderate use.
