Editorial Review

Safe cracking always seems pretty exciting when depicted in thrilling spy movies. The thief must listen closely, have nimble hands, and often work against a tight time constraint to pull off the big heist. Now that action is replicated in toy form with this unique safe cracking kit. Three different challenges are presented: connecting pretend circuits with a special included stylus, spotting secret numbers in a sequence to determine the right combinations, and matching certain sounds to defeat the lock. In our informal tests, all three challenges worked well and were tricky without being impossible. Parents may wish to consider the philosophical implications of a toy that teaches kids how to commit felonies but even youngsters who are not preparing for a life of crime are likely to be entertained and challenged by this set. --Charlie Williams

I bought this toy for my 9 yr old. He was very excited because he wanted this toy but had not been able to find it in any store. At christmas this toy got everyones attention. Everyone wanted to figure it out. I recommend this toy.

I got this for my son for Christmas in 2005 and it is something that he still plays with quite a bit. It is very sturdy and even after over a year of use, it is still in perfect condition. He now has his five year-old sister playing it too.

After my 8 year old son was playing with it for a month I threw his safe away as a punishment for an unrelated thing. He fixed his behavior and asked for the only present: same exact safe. I bought it again. He has been playing for another month with it now and isn't bored yet. Awesome toy for the money (at Amazon).

It's fun because it showed me how to crack the moving codes and alarm codes. The safe part is pretty good but kind of bad thing is that you have to figure out what kind of code to open it with. If you don't know the code you can't open the safe so if you lose or forget your password you can't open it. You can reset it though.

Just to say, this review is based on all the reviews I read, I do not own this toy.
I can see that the educational value is that the toy has hand- eye cordination, and kind of logical.
The durablity is probabilty very strong bacause its a SAFE.
Its probabably very fun, reading something from the mom who has two boys who have 3 safes each. That of, which is amazing.
