What is the difference between the Itoya Evolution and Original book?
1728619
The difference is the design of the portfolio itself. Original has a plastic insert on the spine of the portfolio and inside it usually has a plastic folder/sleeve connected to the inside cover. Evolution has a stitched up border but without the plastic spine and inner folder/sleeve. Both are the same in what it's used for, which is to protect photos or artwork. Both are great. I own both kinds because I like to switch it up once in a while. Hope this helped.

The 4th edition is only different from the 1st-3rd in appearance, the rules are the same, but for example, one edition has sea tiles instead of borders.This is the basic, original game with a board extension for extra players, which is nice. The other "editions" are variations which simplify the game (family, junior) or change it up completely (Star Trek Catan) - probably not good starting points unless kids or complete trekkies are involved. Then there are expansions which require the core game (seafarers, cities & knights, traders & barbarians, explorers & pirates) and also have their own extension expansions.So yeah, just start with the core + extension.

Hi Kendyl,Yes this is the listing for the "original" larger game. You will see that there is also a statement that there is a newer version - this is the one one you do NOT want to purchase.

I did not find any difference other than the packaging and directions in japanese. I think it boils down to the fact that the American model is discontinued

also the new one has a human figure on the slide sound part and the old one has Lily, the female frog. My son can easily take the purple door off of the "open" sound on the old table but has not been able to remove the door on the new one. He has the new one at grandmas's and the old one at home. If you can get a used leapstart, get one because the differences are minimal. But if you're buying new, the new model seems better.

I'm not familiar with this item to give you a clear answer. My niece asked if by original, you meant the kind she had when she was a kid. Even if you did, she can't answer either way because she doesn't still have hers to compare. Up until this Christmas, I had never even heard of the Fashion Designer, period. Sarah did say that both her girls love this thing.

The one I usually purchase is portrait format (bound on the 11' side), although Itoya does also make them in landscape format.

***Copied and pasted my response to a similiar question*** Hi Janice, or in this case jloveforever4 The bookworm within me squeals with joy because I really love Vtech's V.Reader :) To answer your question...The e-reader on the Innotab does not compare to what the V.Reader offers. As you stated the V.Reader books (cartridges) come with games built in to help reinforce reading skills. This is not the case with the Innotab. The books available on the cartridge games are just the e-book. The stories are animated and include a dictionary but no games. The Innotab's e-reader does have educational value cause it will read the book to your child and define words, however I could do that myself. The skills my son learns through the games (at least for me) are what give the V.Reader value. Vtech has updated their V.Reader, so when looking to purchase one you will see that most retailers still have the old one available. You can tell the difference between the two because the new one has a raised keyboard (soft buttons) versus the old one which has a touch screen keyboard. The new one includes a photo viewer/video player, a mediocre art studio, and an app to practice writing so it may be something worth checking out (I have the old one). If reading is what your looking for the V.Reader is the better device, and with all those upgrades you will still have it all in one (minus the mp3). The titles available for this device are great and we use ours right before bedtime. It's a great way to spend extra time with my little guy! Hope that helped.

Not really worth it if you have the original. As I recall, it has a few different/new cards.We lost our original deck, so had to get the new one!

Hello, I just came onto the site this morning and they introduced the new versions! You should see them on the front page! Take care!

It is the Classic ed. but the original tokens were wooden and these are plastic. That's basically the only difference. The paper pad to write your answers is also different.

I can't really help you out since I have not used the evolution. I have examined both balls and I think the solution just looks like a richer ball, it also has a much better grip when its new. I assume this holds true as they both get older. I have seen some older evolutions and to me they look like a rubber streetball, whereas the solution still looks like a nice indoor ball.

As I looked up this game on Amazon right now to see the versions to which you are referring, there is not difference except the price. The only thing different than the original game (which is the one you asked about) is the Telestrations 12-player party pack. As the name suggests, it includes 12 notepads, markers, erasers, etc, which makes it nice for large groups. Also, the notepads have 12 pages in them to accommodate the larger group rather than the 8 pages included in the original game. If you're getting the original 8-player game, go with the $25.

I have purchased 2 C R Gibson 5 yr memory books for my daughter, unsure which one you are comparing to but the pink "Hannah" is printed on and I think the "pooh" is cloth

I like the newer version better. It's more interesting and somehow simpler than the previous version. i do understand how expecting one thing & getting another is disappointing.

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.
