I LOVE this! when i try to "teach" other kids about spying,and making misions for them (and meeeeee!) its great for traget practice and big enough to block, although i dont like the fact that it had a traget looking thing on it and the discs are lost easily, but at least are soft and painless, and lightly sting the most sensitive skin!
Wild Planet Response:Replacement discs are available.

Any of my sons friends that come to play love this toy. Having more than one unit is great because my son and his friends can all run around playing together. The discs are soft so no one gets injured.

Our 6 year old son enjoys playing with this shooter.
We find disks in the oddest places, buying extra disks is a good idea!

This toy has the wow factor, and the kids are eager to play with it. Be aware however, that it uses a motor to fire the disks (much like an automatic ball pitcher) and thus emits a constant, fairly loud whining sound when turned on. And although the disks are soft foam, they are launched at a high rate of speed so they can hurt on bare skin at 6 feet or less -- goggles strongly recommended. Finally, the disks don't fly perfectly straight -- they're like mini-frisbees -- but the resulting unpredictability can be part of the fun. Otherwise, they've been trouble-free so far (a dozen or so uses), no glitches, re-loading is easy, good fun for all ages. Be prepared to spend some time hunting for the disks though; best to buy a refill pack.

My two boys, ages 6 and 3, played with this for 3 days straight. We even cut a target with a hole and hung it on the swing set for them to practice accuracy. They LOVED it! Made well and fun for all.

The boys have received almost all of the Spy Gear and like all the items! They especially like this item as it helps with their target practice, aiming, and big enough to "block" incoming discs! Discs are bigger than most so you can find them more easily than others we have had.
