8 Boule Polished Alloy Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After spending some time in France we had always wanted a boule aka "petanque" set and we saw this one by Jaques of London on Amazon. Jaques has been around for over two hundred years and there's a lot of good reasons for that: the products are durably made, the products are beautifully made, and the customer service is impeccable. We received our set but one of the patterns was duplicated - Jaques quickly and diligently resolved the issue until we had our complete set. After looking over their catalog, we plan to collect many more of the classic games Jaques has been supplying for centuries.

Halex Select Bocce Set (100mm Resin Balls) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The set arrives. When removed from the box, the case is dirty - it actually has dirt on it - the logo is already marred, and there are loose strings. This is a product purchased from Amazon, not an Amazon seller. Nevertheless, the case is wrapped in a protective cardboard ring. Once this is ripped open and the case is unzipped, the buyer is surprised to find that the balls - every single one of them - are marred in one way or another. Some have blemishes where the resin has been unevenly applied. Others have marks on the balls that might suggest this is a used set if the buyer had not already ripped open the protective cardboard ring. This user would return the set if the shipping were not prohibitively expensive. Save your money.

Halex Classic Series Bocce Set (100mm Liquid Filled Balls) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Garbage.
I returned them.
If you want these to keep some kids busy, fine. Otherwise spend the money to get real bocce balls. These are made from a soft plastic so they don't knock each other around like they should, they just sort of bump. They are water filled and vary from 100% full to half full. So they don't weigh the same or behave the same. That makes it impossible to be consistent.
Completely worthless junk unless, like I said, you need to keep some kids busy. In that case they are very inexpensive fun crap. But don't leave them where they could freeze. I'm sure the ones that are 100% full would crack open if they froze.

Iplay 6 Pin Bowling Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My two-year-old boy just had his second birthday and one of the gifts was an I-Play Six Pin Bowling Set. The tag says for three + years and I suspect that is true. We've set up the pins and showed him how to roll the ball, but it just doesn't work. If we give him the ball, he throws it, sometimes at the pins and sometimes elsewhere. I might mention that he's in a stage where he likes to throw other things also, sometimes over his shoulder.
In any case, the pins and the ball come in a nice clear plastic carrying case, which makes them easy to put away as a set. The brightly-colored pins are made of a soft foam rubber exterior, but they have a stiff inner core. The ball is foam rubber covered with three finger holes and has a pretty good heft to it. Neither the pins nor the ball will do any harm to interior furnishings unless they are thrown and knock something over, a distinct possibility with our boy in his present state. It's a potentially nice little toy. I expect we'll put it away for a while and then reintroduce it.

Alex Jungle Croquet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This croquet set works well indoors or out. We used it on hardwood floors with some plastic pucks that we had. The wooden balls work best on carpet or short grass. The set is well-constructed and a good size for little ones age 3 and up. Older kids and adults were able to use it too so it won't be outgrown too quickly. All in all good value for the money.
