User Submitted Deluxe Turntable Scrabble Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-09-02 Not worth the money Let me preface this review by saying I don't think the game Scrabble deserves one star. I love Scrabble and the rating is only about the quality of this particular edition. My parents own the old Deluxe edition which I have played for many years. When my boyfriend and I decided to boy an edition of Scrabble for ourselves, this was immediately what I wanted. I love the ridges on the board, the turntable, and the quality of the trays and tiles of the old Deluxe edition. Sadly, this is a far inferior edition. And for the price, I this it's pretty shocking. Problems: * The tiles are poorly made. Examples: The white "ink" on the letter E came off completely onto my friend's finger during a game, leaving only the engraving of an E on the tile itself. This was the first time the game was used. The tiles are all different sizes. Seriously. When you line them up on the tray, they don't all line up at the top and they're different widths. The letters are not all stamped in the center of the tiles, some skew to the left, to the top, to the right, you get the idea. * The trays are cheap plastic. This may not bother some people, but I love the feel of the old, wooden trays. It's nice that the tile distribution is printed on each tray, but they feel flimsy. * The board is made of the same cheap plastic and the ridges are extremely shallow. One of the main draws of the Deluxe edition is the ridges because they keep the tiles in place. These ones don't. Instead, they help create a terrain of peaks and valleys when the tiles get shifted during play. * The turntable doesn't raise the board very high off the table so it doesn't clear the trays when turned. This means everybody has to pick up their trays or keep them far away from the board if you want to turn it between each play. * And a personal preference: I don't like the dark tiles. They're more difficult to read than the traditional blond wood (probably because they're not printed well, the ink is somewhat transparent). Save yourself some money and do what we did: find an older Deluxe Scrabble on eBay and stay away from this one. If you really want it, I bet you can find a lot of people getting rid of it online. Date: 2008-08-31 Deluxe Turntable Scrabble I was very pleased with this item. Delivery speed was great and price was fair. Would reccomend Date: 2008-08-29 Classic! This classic is still so much fun the older I get and fun for younger family memebers also! Great price too. Taking advantage of the super saver postage free offer ordering through Amazon was less expensive than going to the toy store for purchase ---- without gas expense or searching for a parking spot! This is terrific comparative shopping if you can be patient and wait a few days for arrival. Date: 2008-08-19 Great Game ! Have a Scrabble home party--save on gas by having fun at home; shut off the TV; have fun with family, neighbors, friends; use your brain; and learn new words. An inexpensive price for years of fun. Date: 2008-07-27 Great game! We have owned this game for over one year and have not had any problems with durability, and we play it constantly. Can't wait to try out our travel version.
