Om Nom's Playground Intro Set: Cut The Rope

The final Cut the Rope Playground toy that I can think of is named Cut the Rope, and actually has a rope involved. Does it work? Sort of.

Swing Set Fail and a Portland Haul

I just got back from a nice (but way too short) trip to the Oregon Coast.  More awesome weather shots are posted on the IDstormtroopers page. Fall is a great time to get out and overturn rocks and stuff.

I also got sometime in at Toys R Us Jantzen Beach Portland, where they actually restock their toys regularly. I went a little overboard it seems. I have only jumped into the Scooby Doo packs so far, and hope to hit the GI Joes soon!!!

Also found one of those rumored to exist Stargat SG•1 Best Lock sets at Target. I only picked it up due to its extreme, never been seen, existence. It was on sale for $2.99, and was the last one. It makes no sense!!!

And also A Papa Smurf Micro Village piece with moving snail car!

Cut the Rope Playground Intro Set; Target

I am almost down to the last parts for the Playground sets from Cut the Rope. The Target set is as basic as you can get, a target and an Om Nom on a raised pillow. At least with this set, there is no malfunctioning parts, and just your own abilities of Target practice.

Maybe soon I will add all the sets together for one mega monster machine.

Cut the Rope Om Nom's Playground Quick Set: Conveyor Belt

Some of these sets are great, others not so much. I got most of these sets for a great deal, so I can't complain too much. The Conveyor Belt pretty much stinks, It slips, it pops apart, it hardly can hit a target. It looks kind of neat, but plays poorly. Maybe when I get all the machines going, it will redeem itself.

Om Nom's Playground Quick Set: Windmill

I am still quite fascinated by these Cut the Rope playground sets. They barely work, but tinkering with them provides minutes of fun. This set should be on top on your list anyways, because of the functioning spring launcher, and menacing spiked wheel. As you can see in my adventures lots of stuff can happen.

Cut the Rope Om Nom's Playground DELUXE SET instructions

This is the most maddening set of the Playground sets so far. As the largest set you are given lots of pieces, but getting them in the right places, not so easy. The illustration on the back is not much help, as you have to go a level higher, to get it to sort-of work. Once constructed, it only half works anyways, as things need to fall, land, and spring perfectly for a win. Still though, I had fun as it challenged me so much. Look for it at Toys R Us and give it a try if you dare!

Cut the Rope Om Nom's Playground Intro Set: Catapult Toy Review

Two reviews on the same day? Yeah! It seemed wiser to split these two reviews up. The Catapult is hardly fool proof. I would say 1 out of 300 are my odds. Still though, it looks spiffy, and if you collect many of these build sets you could possibly build a nice playground piece. Too bad the Om Noms are not different.

Cut the Rope Om Nom's Playground Intro Set: Spikes Toy

Even though these Playground sets function terribly, I still like them quite a bit. I think its the bright colors, and the mostly solid working parts. They just don't deliver the candy very well at the very end. Having an Om Nom figure is a plus, and the pieces that look like spikes are nice too. Maybe I will try and build a master machine some day.

Cut the Rope Om Nom's Playground Mega Set, instructions?

Round5 must not make toys often as there are a few issues with the Cut the Rope "Collect Connect and Play" playground sets. The pieces look good, they connect good, but they no work so good. Maybe that is part of the fun, to make it challenging. Or it is just a sloppy design. There are no instructions included, just a sketchy cartoon on the back of the box. Don't get me wrong, I kind of like the toy, it has possibilities, and with more sets, more possibilities. It will work great as a desk toy to tinker with now and again. There are a ton of pieces.

Luckily I got a few sets on a deal, from Toys R Us moving. The Mega set is about $12.99 regular price.
