 I RECOMMEND MY MEEBAS! I AM 8 YEARS OLD!!! December 29, 2008
I think that My Meebas are very fun because the games are really fun and the stuffed animals are cool.
 The kids like it! December 28, 2008
Two of my daughters, ages 8 and 6, got these as Christmas gifts. My eight year old got this light blue one, my 6 year old got the raspberry one. My 8 year old loved it and was determined to get the pet. It took about two days of intermittent playing before it opened. She said that you can put the pet back in the tube for safe keeping, and you can keep playing with the digital pet, but you can't grow the pet again. The tube stays unlocked, but she says it's still a fun toy and she's happy she got it, which I think is the most important thing. My 6 year old has not been as interested, but I think that's because she's been more interested in a new video game she got for Christmas. We also have a 2 year old who grabbed the tubes once in a while, and it withstood her dropping it on the hardwood floor and it being kicked before being put away.

 Not enough play time for the money November 16, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Let me start this by saying that my daughter LOVED this. She talked about it, was excited about it, really obsessed with it. She couldn't wait for the little toy to come out and spent a lot of time between when she bought it and when the toy came out thinking about which one it would be.
Unfortunately, that isn't much time, and that's my problem with this toy. We purchased it from KMart at 5 pm, she played it for approximately 45 minutes in the car on the way home. She then played it for about 20 minutes the next morning and then about 30 minutes after school. That's when the toy came out.
After the toy emerges, the packaging clearly states, the electronic game has "limited play value." So for 19.99, my daughter got less than two hours of play from it. She does have the little stuffed animal, but hasn't played with the electronic game part for more than 10 minutes since it opened. The stuffed animal is small and appears cheaply made. It has the appearance of one of the "small prizes" you might win at a fair game. I haven't seen it either since the day she got it.
Whoever came up with this is a marketing genius, however. You choose from several colors of Meeba canisters and within each canister color range, there are several possible Meebas that can emerge. So your child can't pick which animal she will get: it's random luck. My luck, my daughter didn't get any of the the Meebas she wanted so of course, she wants another one of these.
I would not recommend this to others for two reasons: limited play time for the amount of money spent and there is a chance that your child will be disappointed in the toy that comes out and start asking for another. I do not plan on buying any more of these.
I am giving it two stars based on how into it she was before it opened.

We did not know about these toys until our grandson's request for one. They are pretty neat. He remains excited about it and LOVES to explain to us how it works.
TOO LITTLE 'BANG FOR THE BUCK' September 23, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Bought one of these for each of my daughters ages, 6, 8 and 10. Took each of them about 3 hours of pretty consistent playing to complete all the levels and the things each opened. Cute little plush comes out and they were excited. They had alot fun and enjoyed the suspense of what critter they would get and the plush is cute BUT...now the thing is basically useless. It does not relock to play again just opens with the press of a button. And, the digital part doesn't play hardly anything any longer. I now see in the instructions only found inside the packaging to be read after purchase, that it says "limited game play after plush evolves". Well, that is certainly true. Should be more like "just throw it away when the plush comes out because it doesn't do ANYTHING!". So, basically you pay for 3 hours of digital entertainment and a very small plush for $20.00! Would have been a great toy had they made it more challenging, sold it for half the price, or even if it had the ability to be able to relock with some code so a parent could hide surprises back in it to play again or siblings could put in surprises for eachother. I also agree with the other reviewer that the velcro on the plushes is not strong enough to hold it securely to anything. Great fun but too short a time of enjoyment, definately overpriced. So sad, could have been great. All of us parents need to band together and keep up he reviews so that we can save eachother some money! Thanks!
