User Submitted Playhut Mega land Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-04-16 Great fun for indoors and out! This is a great toy for people who don't have much space. If you are used to the things that twist and fold for storage; all of these pieces fold up in a similar way. It's super easy to set this up and take it down. My son loves it and when we are done playing it all folds up to a nice small size for storage. You can use it indoors or outdoors. The only hazard we are finding about having it indoors is you end up with balls everywhere. Which the cats enjoy but I don't enjoy much. Luckily my son thinks picking the balls up is a game, so it works out okay. The balls that come with it are not enough for the ball pit. I went and bought another 200 balls to fill the ball pit up nice and good. My 14 month old son loves it. It is about as durable as you would expect it to be for the cost and portability. Similar to many other twist and fold items. It does blow over easy and get knocked over pretty easy; but for my son that's all part of the fun :-) Surprisingly my cats also love chasing each other in and out of the tunnels. We've had this a couple months now and it has stood up to kid and cats so far. We love it and my son will spend a good hour or so playing in there at a time.

I wouldn't be that pleased if it didn't store easily. It's very easy to set up and take down. The kids really enjoy all the balls (we added 100 balls). One downfall is that it tips really easily. Both kids can knock it over very quickly. Basketball net has never worked. It came missing the piece that props it up. Great toy for the price. Date: 2008-01-21 WATCH OUT!..... This product was purchased for my two boys as a Christmas gift last year...The second time I pulled it out to put it up I was poked by a wire that is located in the seam on the top of the tunnel. To keep my boys from being cut I threw the tunnel out and immediately contacted customer service with my concern and asked for a replacement tunnel. After disregarding the fact that the seams are flimsy and potentially dangerous seeing that the wire that is supposed to be contained in them is very sharp...they went on to tell me that I had to take a picture of the playhut...the tunnel...the seam...the damage...and then they could check their inventory and see if they could help me with a replacement. I offered to read each and every box/tag number that I could for them but that I had discarded the tunnel-I've never heard back. Not only is this toy potentially dangerous but the hoops you have to jump through in order to get help from the customer service department are not worth the 100.00 price tag. Date: 2008-01-21 Best toy of the year I bought this when my daughter was just starting to crawl and she has always loved it. She still crawls through it and whenever we have play dates the kids love it. I did purchase extra balls but I got them at toys r us for $9.95 for 100. I love that if you don't have the space for the whole thing you can just put some of the cubes away in a closet. Date: 2008-01-20 Fun, but potentially dangerous - reported to CPSC Megaland is indeed a lot of fun. Our 12 month-old twins absolutely love it, and we always find new ways to play with it. However, be careful. With rough play the metal strips can separate and cause a severe injury. Below is the text of a recent complaint I made to the CPSC: Megaland by Playhut is a collection of three pop-up tents and 2 pop-up tunnels. The strips of flexible metal used to give the objects their shape and pop-up nature can separate, leaving two very sharp ends that could easily cause a laceration or severe eye injury. Both of our tunnels broke in this way, and the ends of the metal strips pierced the fabric covering. Fortunately, we noticed this in time and threw them both away before any harm could ensue. My guess is that this only occurs with rough play (e.g., children jumping on the tunnels and compressing the strips); however, the fact is that children play rough, and our tunnels broke after only two weeks.
