Damaged and non-returnable

I ordered this item as a Christmas present. The photo shows that the box was completely damaged, so I will not be giving it away. I also cannot return or exchange. money wasted!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Slightly torn

You're never too old to play jacks

When was the last time you sat down and played jacks? It's still a fun game and only takes a minute to relearn. These jacks also come with a storage bag which has never been included before. Aaaaah, progress.๐Ÿ˜

Pros
  • Boosts confidence
Cons
  • A prize that will bust a piggy bank

Still one of the best games on this planet

Still one of the best games on this planet. I engaged every teenager on my street in healthy and strategic competition, conversation and entertainment around this game. They're still trying to beat me. In my 50s, I can still beat anyone in this game. So much fun, so little money!

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • So far so good

Not classic jacks!: Games and accessories

I am very disappointed in these jacks because they are not 'classic' jacks! slightly larger than the old sockets. I grew up listening to Jacks in the 1970's so my originals weren't as old as some have claimed. Would love to find these!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

It's nice to see something "old ", "new " again.

Bought these tools to teach my 8 year old granddaughter. She had no problem handling the ball or the jacks (which are larger than my original jacks, which I've had since childhood). I even got my husband to play and we had a great first lesson. Brings back all the fun I had when I was a kid.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Zero

TOO BIG to be classic

These jacks are too big to play a real classic game. I'm very disappointed that something marked "Classic" isn't classic - they're new bushings that don't even fit together. These "pigs" are too big to "put in a pen" etc. I'm attaching a few photos. All silver bushings are AUTHENTIC, from my own collection; The giant gold ones are the ones that came with this set. :(

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Great size and quality

Great sockets. The size is almost the same as I remember when I was a kid - about 5/8 inch in diameter. The ball is bouncy and almost 1 inch wide. There is a seam on the ball, but that's not a problem. These jacks are really good quality. They are actually heavier than I remember, which is good. I received 5 gold and 5 silver jacks, a red beach ball and a small cotton drawstring bag to keep them. I hoped they would. I think it's difficult for such a simple device to compete with tablets andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
