 Fantastic fun at bath-time! September 17, 2007

My six year old loves this ship! It comes apart to reassemble into dozens of new combinations, which both challenges his dexterity and sparks his imagination - he's a pretty sharp boat designer now. As with all the Mega Rig products, it's fairly durable (we've only had one small breakage in one of the other Mega Rig toys - and we have probably a hundred pieces). And it comes with a hungry shark! Who could ask for more?
Another great toy in the Mega Rig line! November 18, 2007

My boys (ages 5 and 7) love the variety in the Mega Rig items each year. This is no exception. It is a pretty big set with lots of options for creating smaller boats. My younger son received it for his birthday, and he immediately created two smaller boats (to share with his brother and sister) along with the large section. They even combine the other Mega Rig sets to create different areas of their "world" on the living room rug.
The best feature for me is the fact that the shark has a slit on the underside. I can get my finger in there and poke out anything that the shark has "eaten", so nothing gets stuck there.
A previous reviewer gave this a very low rating simply because it includes a harpoon (so they assumed that the entire premise of the set suggests violence). THat's nonsense! All 3 of my children haven't even used the harpoon, they are so busy with other features of the set. It hasn't even occurred to them to kill sea creatures.
Great toy November 6, 2007

My nephew, who is five, loves this toy! He gets bored pretty quickly with toys. But this is one of the few that he will play with over and over again. There are alot of interactive parts such as the hook and the claw which interacts with the shark. The boat can also be taken apart to be mixed and matched into a variety of configurations including the captain action figure. I think the interaction is the main reason that my nephew loves this toy. It is a very durable toy. My nephew is very rough with his toys and after two months of constant play, it still remains intact. He has also played with this toy during bath time on many occasions.
A big hit November 25, 2007

My kids love this thing! Funny, you never know with kids, but the mega rig shark set has outstripped all other forms of entertainment in our house. (Including SpongeBob) My 6 year old logs a solid 5 hours a day playing with this.
It actually works as well (pieces fit together, he doesn't need help from dad, etc) something that is a pleasent surprise these days.
We give this one the thumbs up!
Great for my 4 year old! January 4, 2008

This was the hands-down winner for my 4 year old this christmas. The versatility and durability of the toy (in and out of the tub) is impressive. From the attention to detail, it is obvious that a lot of thought went into the development of the product.
