Editorial Review: Product Description: At gadgetshop, we have discovered the time machine. But it's not a blue police box. Or a Victorian whirlygig. Or a ball of white-hot energy, for that matter. It's an inflatable orange rubber blob with a smiley fang-toothed face on it. And it's capable of time travel to one decade in particular, when glam rock and power cuts were all the rage. Welcome to the Space Hopper time machine - a continuum-busting time warp all the way back to the mid 1970s. As well as time travel, this gadget is also capable of provoking extreme sensory recall: it's simply impossible to mount one of these without the sound of Marc Bolan or Showaddywaddy in your ears and the feint smell of Spangles in your nostrils. The Milky Bars are most definitely on me. There are limitations to its performance, however. You see, there simply is no elegant way to get on or off. There's no practical way to move at speed. But there is, undoubtedly, a thrilling return to the seven year old version of you having the time of your life. And now, rather than relying on your dad's bicycle pump to get it inflated, we have thoughtfully provided a touch of 21st century convenience in the shape of a more practical foot-pump. Buy one of these and the instructions are quite, quite simple: bounce yourself silly. We most certainly do. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Paul HFantastic back to basic`s great exercise and healthy family fun toy,dont know what pevious reviewer`s expect for £8.49 perhaps they should stick to their £39.99 computer games,we have also purchased the 4 pack hopper`s and garden games and created our own sports day,absolute great value for money. Rating:  - AVOID AVOID AVOID WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS RATING IF POSSIBLEI AM NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN BUT FEEL I SHOULD WARN POTENTIAL BUYERS OF THIS HOPPER TO STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLE. I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS "CHEAP TAT" AND THATS BEING POLITE. AS MENTIONED BY AN EARLIER REVIEWER IT IS NOT THE ONE DEPICTED IN THE MAIN PICTURE BUT AN ITEM OF ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL QUALITY. I STOOD THERE BLOWING IT UP (OR SHOULD I SAY TRYING TO BLOW IT UP) AS THE AIR ESCAPED RAPIDLY THROUGH THE NUMEROUS SPLIT SEAMS IN THIS LOW GRADE POOR QUALITY PRODUCT. MY LITTLE GIRL STOOD THERE CRYING AS HER VERY ANGRY FATHER DUMPED THIS CRAP IN THE ONLY PLACE IT DESERVES TO BE AND THAT WAS IN THE BIN. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND CHOOSE ANOTHER HOPPER. THE QUALITY OF THE PUMP FOLLOWS THE HOPPER ITSELF AND YOU WOULD BE LUKCY FOR IT ... Read More: Rating: - Hoppin' mad!Well, it did drive us crazy trying to blow it up the night before our son's birthday. Try as I might, I couldn't fit the nozzle of the included foot pump into the valve on the hopper. Husband couldn't either. Balloon pump didn't work nor did puffing into it ourselves. Several work colleagues the next day also tried and failed. Eventually, after much deliberation, we decided to cut the white stalk of the valve, inflate it and stick the stalk back in then sellotape it in place. I still don't know if it is what you're supposed to do or not but it worked. Our three year old loves rolling around on top of it - hasn't mastered bouncing yet! Rating: - Best fun we've had since the 70'sI am so pleased with this toy. We purchased this for our nephew's birthday, he loved this more than all his other presents! so did his parents who seem to spend more time on it! Excellent value for money and great fun. Rating:  - spacehopperreceived this item very promptly,ordered it monday,received next day!! arrived neatly packaged and was exactly like picture.glad i didnt read the poor review before purchasing or i wouldnt have ordered the spacehopper.Hope my son has as much fun on this as i had on mine in the 70's!! |
