Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

I bought this because it was quite nostalgic and brought back old childhood memories and I thought my child would love it. I was excited when it came out, but quickly lost a lot of that excitement when it became difficult to move on to the next image. Sometimes it flipped, sometimes it "stuck" and didn't work. All in all I'm rather disappointed.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • -

My kid loves the viewfinder

We were trying to find something that started with a 'V' for my son's show and kindergarten/'school' story. We chose the Master of Viewing. I let him play with it the day we got it and it got hooked. He played with it all day and learned how to change discs. The plastic sleeve for extra discs is very convenient and easy to use for a 4 year old. Very happy with the purchase. Now I just need to find more discs at a reasonable price.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Nostalgic purchase but product doesn't work

This product just didn't work - something about the design was VERY flimsy. I put the card in the viewport and was able to switch to the next frame by turning the lever down 4-5 times. Then it got stuck, I corrected the map, but it didn't help. I tried two other cards and the lever could be pressed but the image would not advance. Super disappointing. I was really looking forward to sharing this nostalgic memory with my daughter as a gift.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Not a Viewmaster from the 60's and 70's

This one is made of much cheaper plastic than the old View Masters. In addition, the reels freeze and do not spin. After we bought it, we found it almost impossible to get additional drums at an affordable price. These things must be of gold. (I thought I found the ONE place to buy them online for a pretty reasonable price, but the company took my money and didn't ship the product. Don't fall for the "cheap reels" scam (like I did.) I paid about $20 for this box set, but it wasn't $3. I was so…

  • Impressive

2019 a HIT for children from 4 years! ViewMaster stole the show!

LOVE View Master! My grand has some things and I wanted something different. Think back to the 1960's LOL and in fact I went to their website to find the unusual 99.99% of the time! Revenge! And voila! (I know of other websites but I don't have the time and trusting customer service is vital to me.) Best birthday present ever! He loves and can name ALL dinosaurs and loves to identify them, which he does right (that's a favorite activity for at least the last year, lol). The 3D pictures are very

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Not bad

Not Grandma's View Master

Growing up, one of my favorite toys was the View Master. My parents wisely invested in dozens of small round photo wheels and introduced me to the Carlsbad Caverns, the African Savannah, the Mammals of the World, Mammoth Cave, the European Capitols, and other educational scenes. The few photos made me feel like I was seeing other places in 3D - almost there! When I came across the View Master on Revain I was so excited I bought it straight away! When the package arrived I couldn't wait to bring

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • There are flaws
