Doctor Who - Interactive Sonic and Laser Screwdriver Set

I ordered this for my son's 10th birthday, and he was thrilled with it, I'm glad there's a sonic and laser in the package because my husband did note "They didn't have anything like this when I was your age..." At least they can play together! We all have fun playing 'sonic laser tag' around the house, and of course my son likes using it to open doors and fix things for me!

This toy is not just for little kids. I'm 22 years old and I have just as much fun duking it out with my friends as a kid would. The mechanics are simple enough as is the concept.
