Description

Encourage your child's interest in science with a microscope and telescope set. On a clear night, enjoy the stars and constellations up close. The 30x60x50mm telescope brings the starry night sky into focus. It features a sturdy aluminum body and includes a tripod. When you're done stargazing, use the microscope to get up close with nature. It magnifies up to 1000x, allowing your child to study samples from plants, bugs or anything that fits onto a slide. The microscope comes with a 68-piece accessory assortment that includes prepared and blank slides, hatchery, spatula, tweezers, petri dish, scalpel and more. Adult supervision recommended.

I remember I had one of these long ago when i was just a kid.

I am tempted to buy one for myself, [I'm still a kid at heart]

Great Gift. Nice find.

I hope this isn't a piece of junk. It is made in Hong Kong. Anybody actually see one of these at a local KB Toys? If you are a first-time buyer on KB Toys, there is also a $5 off $50 purchase coupon available (excludes consoles)

Be careful about this inexpensive (aka cheap) stuff. It looks similar to the set we got our daughter for Christmas last year (maybe it was 2002?); anyway, it was JUNK. If the quality isn't good enough, you will be so frustrated with it, you won't enjoy it. I would probably have to try it before I buy it.

I second Glendor's advice. Please, please, please, don't buy one of these junk scopes if your kid has any interest in astronomy at all, you'll kill it. They're useless. Check out a reputable vendor like telescope.com, which happens to be running a good sale at the moment and they'll answer any questions you might have. They actually have a good little starter scope with accessories right now for under fifty bucks (normally $100), and it's many times better than the one from the toystore (sorry, OP, know your intentions were good!)
