"Great item but only given 4 stars because you need at least 200 of these for a realistic reproduction of the Olympics. To add further authenticity to your home Olympics diorama also purchase this authentic Olympic style USB Missile Launcher." - Mr Christopher Brind 'Brindy'

"I bought this in anticipation of stopping crime on my street... I put it in my window and it hardly had an impact. I mean, it's less than 3" tall. Fortunately, John Terry came around dressed in full policemans' uniform and scared potential criminals away. He's a hero." - Marie Hughes

"I bought this toy to take on my Olympic Journey as suggested by the technical details. Imagine my surprise when I woke up the next morning to find that it had left its case, called in reinforcements and kettled me in my bed. I'm just glad I didn't buy the water cannon or Long Range Acoustic Device accessories." - Olympiad Spectacle

"This toy is worse than masturbating to a picture of Lord Coe, official overlord of the 2012 Olympics. And believe me, I've tried." - peculiar "andrew eccentric"
