Mattel Games 30188 Magic 8 Ball®

Take a moment and go back to your childhood and ask those silly questions...I was so happy when I saw this and had to have it.

Excellent

It is an iconic item. Get one to solve arguments between kids. Fun for everyone. Good item to keep on the shelf in a handy place so you can consult the 8-ball any time.

It is a bit hard to read and takes practice to get the message to appear but is is OK. I would not return it - can be fun.

Still fun and fabulous after all these years. Unbelievably stupid but I love it.

Hard to read so only serves as gag value when you first pull it out to answer that unanswerable question

Took me on a real nostalgia trip. The magic eight is well-made, and reminded me strongly of my magic eight ball when I was a kid. The only change I would make would be that the messages on the bottom could be a little stronger more clear - on our ball lettering was kind of faint.

As I see it, yes without a doubt it is certain you may rely on it. Most likely it is decidedly so. My sources say no need to ask again later.
