Pokemon Unova Region Playset Black & White

The Unova Region Play set includes three main areas. The Ferris Wheel, The Tower, and The Forest. I'm gonna review each part individually then bring it back to the set as a whole.1. The Ferris Wheel:Pretty straightforward. The Ferris wheel has three "seats" that are shaped in little half circles. You can put the Pokemon figurines in them and rotate the Pokeball in the middle to spin!Pros: Most figurines will fit. This goes for the smaller ones made by Tomy and the 2-3 inch sized ones made by Jakks-Pacific (like the one included in the set)Stability: The Ferris Wheel is stable! It clips onto the tower but isn't wobbly or unstable. Nor does it harm the integrity or balance of the rest of the set unless you fold the entire ferris wheel in towards the back of the tower, which serves no real purpose other than unbalancing the set.Cons: The turning of the ferris wheel feels somewhat choppy, however, that could simply be human error in trying to continuously rotate the wheel by spinning the mechanism2. The Tower.The Tower is far more complex than the Ferris Wheel. The Tower comes with an elevator, opening front doors, a panel that can be laid down to extend to the upper platform on the bridge, and an energy shooter with a pin missile.Pros: AS with the Ferris wheel, when put together with the rest of the set the Tower is very stable, it doesn't shake or wobble and stays very level. The Pokeball buttons all work nicely. Although with the Doors on the front and the panel on the side it is important that they be behind the "guard" that catches them. Om the doors, this guard keeps the doors from flying open. When the button is hit the guard goes away and the doors will fly open. The elevator works well and the missile has good range and firing power!Cons: As with the Ferris wheel, the elevator feels slightly choppy.The missile will fly, it has good range and power. Left unattended it could be very simple for a younger child to lose. Not necessarily an issue with the play set but something parents should be aware of as consumers!3 The Bridge: It's a bridge, it's as stable as the rest of the set. The trap door works well, however the panel on the tower and the extending tree branch from the forest don't line up exactly with their respective sides. The Tower's Panel comes just a tad over and the branch comes a tad under meeting the line.4. The Forest: The forest comes with a slide triggered by a Pbutton which also sends a picture of the Pokemon Patrat onto a tree, a hammock that sits directly under the trapdoor and can be covered by the extending branches, the extending branches to connect to the upper level of the bridge, and a trapdoor triggered by firing the missile at the top of the tree.Pros: As with the rest of the set it is of good quality and very stable. All of the Pokeball buttons work great, the trapdoor will usually drop the Pokemon into the hammock! The slide mechanism works well!Cons: the extending branch doesn't quite meet the edge of the upper level of the bridge but not a big issue. The only real con is that the missile has to hit the trapdoor mechanism just right or it could bounce off the mechanism, fly away, and not trigger the trapdoor. To some this might be a fun thing as you actually must line up the shot. However, I would prefer that if it hits, it works.Overall, the play-set is great. It's of great quality by the standards of today. It will stand up to normal play just fine and wont fall apart. But to the adult consumers, remember that no toys are made under the stands they used to be. Children shouldn't be playing too rough with any of their toys and this is no exception! The plastic is solid, pieces clip together and stay together will! Assembly doesn't take very long at all! It's not very big so I would recommend simply finding a space for it, but if that's not an option dis-assembly and reassembly are very simple. I give it a 5 out of 5 and would recommend it to any Pokemon fan!

Great set - but when you purchase the additional figurines - they don't stand up by themselves and are hard to play with.

Not very sturdy. Lots of pieces that don't stay together well.

My son asked for (and received) this play set for Christmas. At that time, we paid the full price for the product. It is definitely not worth that price, and it is questionable if it is worth the sale price. It only comes with one figure. While that is disappointing, the real problem is the lack of quality in the product. It comes in three main pieces that are supposed to join together. The pieces do not stay together at all and continually fall apart. When my kids play with the set, one of them has to hold two of the three parts together, and that really limits their play. They do still play, some, with this toy, but they would play a lot more with it if it stayed together like it should.

I don't regret getting this playset for my pokemon fan because -- well -- he LOVES pokemon. There is a little roller coaster, a skyscraper, a bridge, and a tree, and the different parts snap together to form a fairly long set. They also unsnap easily, sometimes making play annoying.It's another plastic toy that takes up quite a bit of room, but again, worth it for the lover of pokemon.Caveat: this only comes with one pokemon figure, and getting several figures for it can be quite expensive.

I ordered this for Christmas and my 10-year old daughter was not disappointed. It was a lot bigger than I anticipated, which was perfectly fine. It does pack away nicely, though. The pieces are quite sturdy, the instructions clear and we had no trouble getting the whole thing together in a few minutes. Most importantly, my daughter loves it and is having a blast. Recommended for the Pokemon lover.

My son is crazy about Pokemon and LOVES this toy! He takes all his Pokemon characters (and honestly, other little people toys) and will play for hours with this play set. I also loves that it folds up a little for easier storage.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas 2014. She loves it. As a parent I loved that it was a cake putting together. Everything snaps into place and it seems decently constructed. She loves using the little gun that shoots a tree and activates a trap that ensnares an unknowing pokemon. The Playset has a bunch of hidden traps like that (well at least 3). It's light enough for her to carry from the table to the floor, and all her pokemon charachters can play in it.Cons:While using the elevator the Playset shakes very bad and any characters on the set usually falls down or falls offMy daughters biggest complaint is that it tips over easy. She usually braces it with furniture or boxes
