I purchased this for a nephew who is a Star Wars fanatic (even though only nine years old). I purchased on Amazon at a heavily discounted price.

My nephew loved it and is not (at least yet) too annoyed that he can only project a few images. It's a great prop to complete his costuming as he has numerous other accessories and props acquired over the past few years.

It was fun to put together but doesn't strike me as much of an educational toy for someone his age. I'm sure it could be educational if you wanted to use it that way...but it's more of a nice toy or prop.

Durability of the main body of the toy is pretty good, but the little hinged projector piece will probably break off at some point. Has not yet though... Rating: 3 / 5

I first saw this toy at the Science and Industry Museum in Chicago. My son is an avid Star Wars fan, and I thought that this would be a good compromise for a Christmas gift.

While the concept of the device is a good one, its design and construction leave much to be desired.

-First of all, it was like putting a model together. It came in the same type of plastic that snap-tite model kits do, only it did not go together as well as they do

-Then there is the "optics". Supposedly, you can slide a bar forward and backward to adjust the range or clarity of site through the lenses. The plastic that holds the lenses onto the adjusting bar is extremely thin, and flexes very easily, which means that the lenses stick and don't move very well.

-The other issue is the light. While the pen-light itself works great (after all, how hard is it to make a flashlight?), the photo projection slides are lousy. You have to literally have the front of the projector against a wall to even get an idea of what is on the slide.

For the price that they charge for this, I would have been better off to get a cheap pair of binoculars and flashlight at a supercenter, then decorating them a little. To say that I was disappointed is an understatement.

I bought this to make a decent prop for Star Wars macrobinoculars. It fits the bill well. It does say “Star Wars” on the front, but I’ll cover that up. You have to assemble it yourself, but it isn’t difficult. The objective lenses are a little difficult to move in their tubes, and a trim with a sharp knife or some sanding before installation will probably help. I may put some paint on it here and there, too. The color scheme is a little bland for costume use.
