My kids love playing with these. The rockets are soft, so it’s something I don’t mind letting them play with inside. The rockets do have a tendency to come apart (the nose in particular tends to come off), but luckily it comes with a bunch. We just glue them back together when they fall apart.

These were a great toy for outside fun for all ages

They were fun while they lasted but the outside of the pump is made of paper so it was ruined after being left out in the rain.

My 4 year old grandson loved this right up to the point that the first rocket launcher broke and had to go in the bin. The second one also didn't last long. I expected more than a couple of hours or playtime from this.Issues experienced:The base of the launcher is made of CARDBOARD like a Smartie or Pringle tube! Stand on it or get it wet and it cannot be used again.The main body of the launcher is OK, but the tip on both were poorly formed. I had to trim off lumps of plastic moulding to get the foam rockets just to slide on. I then had to sand paper the tip to get the rockets to slide on easily.The foam rockets are make of a stiff light foam, that if stood on, deforms and then no longer work as well. They are OK but could be much better.The nature of toys like this, is that they ned to be constructed to a level that can stand up to being used as intended by childen.One other thing to note is that they are much smaller than they appear in the images.If the description stated that a main part of this toy is made of cardboard, I would not have bought it.

I thought this set had bigger rockets like the set I already had, but, they fly farther and are more accurate. The seal on the launcher is longer and tighter making better pressure and the rockets are more aerodynamic and accurate. Definitely made Easter with the grandkids more fun.

The rockets do fly well and a 6yo could use it without help. But a younger, less careful kid broke the mount shaft off within minutes of playing with it, by waving it around and knocking it on thinks. Hot glue only lasted a few shots so now it's trash.

Absolutely brilliant for little kids. My 3 year olds, love to take them to the park and see who can launch them the highest. They also love to chase and fire at each other. I love that the rockets are so soft, it doesn’t hurt anyone. I think any kid would find these fun.

We originally bout one rocket pump for our eldest grandson....10 years ago...it was played with and enjoyed often....the youngest grandson Started to enjoy the game....but old age and lots of fun late the tube started to disintegrate....we thought we would not be able to buy another. But we found it on amazon and as a double so the grandaughters can join in....looks good. Trying it out this week on our first day out with grandson since lock down.

Both rockets that cam attached to the launchers as other reviews have mentioned had been glued on at the tip, presumably by assembling the foam rockets before the glue on the launcher tube had fully dried. Was able to get the first off with only minimal damage, the second rocket would not release without tearing the foam and splitting the rocket. Have been able to salvage by mending the split with tape but less than ideal! The lancher's themselves are plastic tubes inside a thick cardboard outer tube. Not sure how robust this will prove to be in "battles" with a 9yr old but the rockets launch pretty well and I think should prove a popular present for as long as they survive.

We bought these for an Easter gift. Due to Covid-19 they didn't arrive in time. However, once the did, we put them aside for a nice day. As masks and distancing are still our choice, this is perfect for an outside activity with our grandson. Everyone enjoyed seeing how high the rockets would fly.Probably won't last for years, but we would buy again. Also a good way to interject fun into a space or rocket unit while homeschooling.

Love these things. We had the larger set for adults, but my grandkids had trouble with them. I found the minis and we couldn't be happier. My three year old grandson is so excited that he can use them. Great to use in the house. Nobody and nothing gets hurt.

My grandkids love this. I gave it 5 stars, because for the money its great. Don't expect something that will last a long time, its a cardboard tube. But my grandkids are here for a month and they love playing with it when they come to my house. I would buy again. I actually have fun with them with it!

These suck, but I love the rockets as Nerf Mega-Missile replacements. This may or may not have been intentional, but as you can see from my pics below, they are the same size and are of the right length to be launched by other foam launchers. I also measured the velocity of their shots on my ProChrono Digital chronograph in feet per second (FPS). These blasters are the Nerf Demolisher (60 FPS) the Nerf Thunderblast (72 FPS) the Nerf Tristrike missile-launcher (44 FPS) and the Buzzbee Air Warriors Extreme Blastzooka (a ridiculous 90 FPS reading on 20 pumps). The stock plastic tube these rockets came with are housed in a cardboard tubing which is not even large enough to propel the rocket very far, even with significant force being use to launch it. But load them into a Nerf Launcher or the Blastzooka, and wow do these missiles fly. Expect the fins of these rockets to eventually fly off, but they can be secured with some superglue, so no biggie. If you are wondering what the last picture is about, I wanted to show you the size differential of a Nerf Mega dart (which is small enough to fit it's orange tip in the base of these missiles).
