 Not what I remembered in quality or sizeMar 01, 2010
I ordered 2 of these for my grandchildren because I had so much fun with them growing up. I was disappointed because they are smaller than they used to be and the lines you draw are too fine. They don't erase as easily either. I would love to find the original etch a sketch but I'm afraid that doesn't exist anymore.

 Great Toy, but quality was horribleFeb 07, 2010
My Kids love etch-a-sketch, but the two we bought were broken right out of the box. You could not see the drawings, they were too faint.
We returned them and Amazon honored the return right away.

 classic etch a sketchFeb 01, 2010
works like I remember them. seems a little smaller than the ones I remember but that may be time and memory.
It was just like we all remembered...Jan 19, 2010
There were three of us sisters growing up in the 50s and 60s but only my youngest sister mastered the Etch A Sketch. Seven years younger than us she'd twist those dials and turn out impossibly complicated scenes that boggled us two older girls and dumbfounded our parents. This Christmas I surprised her, now age 50, with a new Etch A Sketch; she'd not touched one since childhood. Everyone hooted, but she quietly got down to work spinning the dials. In just a few moments she'd 'drawn' a scene from a women's section in a department store. Dresses, blouses, skirts, and pants hung from hangers and mannequins displayed elaborate hats with feathers. Etch A Sketch still has the power to work magic for those with the right talent. Or maybe I should say 'left' talent as my sister is left-handed.

Not the Etch A Sketch I remember!Jan 01, 2010
I bought the Etch A Sketch for my 2 year old grandson thinking he would have fun watching the lines being drawn on the screen. The Etch A Sketch I remember as a child had a strong, thick, dark line when I drew on it. I could easily tell where I was and where I wanted to go.
The line on this new Etch A Scetch is barely visible! I can hardly see it myself. My grandson was unimpressed and almost immediately lost interest. And like another reviewer mentioned, what line you do have won't shake out! What a disappointment! I should have purchased him another Savings Bond. Next time I will shop retail so I can try it out first hand.
