Radica Skannerz UPC Scanner Game: Commander

Needed this lmao

My 9 1/2 yr. son received a second one for Christmas. His first one was a lot of fun until one of the buttons jammed and it quit working. This new one did not even last past Christmas morning before becoming jammed. Now it does not work either.I am very disappointed in this product. When it works, it is a lot of fun for kids. Problem is, it is not durable for use by a careful child and won't last a second in younger, less experienced hands. It also is difficult for yonger ones to make the scanner read bar codes. Younger ones will have more fun helping you scan in the self check out.I will not be buying another one of these and do not recommend this at all. There are better values for $20.00

Well I got my Skannerz for Christmas And EVRYTHING I scan Comes out nothing ...

i have the original skannerz green color and i got the commander. it is better than the original because the stakes are higher during a battle sutch as, if you lose a battle you lose a monster of your own, but if you win the battle you get the opposing monster. and you can even banish monsters from your tribe. this game is really fun but the way you scan the upc's is a little hard and kids under 10 may think it's hard to do. so I think it should be for kids ages 10-15.

My son just got this version, he already had the green version.Basicly, skannerz are toys that read bar codes to collect monsters and creatures, and battle them. It can be any bar code and that is what makes them the perfect grocery shopping toy! No whining about how long you are taking anymore. Now my son is happy to follow me down the aisles and scan items...This version is a bit better in that there are more monsters available. There are a limited number of monsters to collect so the more, the better. There are also more options with this unit. You can choose to do battle or run, something you can't do with other versions...and if you win a battle you gain another monster. The flip side is if you lose a battle, you lose the monster. But the changes do make for a better game.The game takes 3 AAA batteries and you do need to change them a bit fast or you lose the data which is really frustrating for your kids. There is also a reset in the event of an electrical problem. Which also clears all the data.I did have a problem with the other unit and the company customer service is going to send another one so they are quite responsive and that is very good to know.Overall, I am very happy with this as it gives my son something to do during a time when he is usually quite bored. shopping!

My son got this because he tried to play this at a friends house (two brothers) and loved it, but they had already progressed with their scanning knowledge and the toy was ready to go when he borrowed theirs to play them. He immediately went out and bought one, and it was $20. He is sooooo frustrated and doesn't understand why when he went to the supermarket with me and scanned MANY items, nothing happened. We need some customer service to assist on what to scan and what not to so we waste no more time! I would NEVER by this for a gift.

My 7 year old LOVES this toy. The first one we got did not work at all but we exchanged it for one that did.Not every UPC has a monster in it - maybe one in 20. But it's exciting when you get a monster. He had trouble understanding the directions for battle on his own but once I read them (a few times!) and explained them, he's been winning most battles and enjoying it.It's nice to have at the store and we find UPCs on everything now. If it was more than $... I would say don't buy it, because I can see him getting tired of it soon and I'm not the only one to have had a problem with one, but for $... he's had a blast.I agree, any kid younger than a bright 7 year old could scan the monsters in but would not be good at understanding the battles, etc. Still, it's a fun gadget.

This skannerz toy is very easy to use and fun to play! My kids and I love it! entertaining!
