Summary: Great Game - HORRIBLE BOARD

Review: No doubt about it - scrabble is a great game - but they have a lot of nerve charging the price they do for this piece of junk. The "deluxe" board is cheaply made and DOES NOT hold the tiles in place. I have the older version of the deluxe game and it is a true winner - whoever dreamed up this version ought to be fired - but probably won't because my guess is it cost them pennies to make and they are charging far too much for the quality that just is not there.
You may as well just by the standard edition - because this one doesn't hold the tiles in place either.

Review: I just purchased this after years of playing on the old baord and also using the old version of turntable game. This new deluxe edition turntable is very disappointing!! It is very cheaply made and I can imagine it falling apart before the years end, the game board is not all one piece but the edges can be lifted up and pulled away from the board. the racks are plastic I see these as eaily get stepped on and crushed. This is a very poor quality game and would not waste my money on it again! I plan to try and return it if the store will take it back.

Review: This "deluxe" scrabble board was a huge disappointment for me. I used to have the previous Scrabble Deluxe board, which I purchased in the early 90's, with the hard plastic board and raised edges for the tiles to fit in and I loved it. The pieces were all very sturdy and I was so pleased with it. I purchased this board as a replacement for my old deluxe board which I gave to my mom. This board is made of extremely flimsy plastic and the raised tiles are a joke. The tiles pop out of them very easily. The surface of the board is made a crappy coated cardboard I think. I would suggest finding the older version of the deluxe board on ebay.

Summary: caveat emptor! waste of money

Review: I bought this deluxe scrabble board, thinking that it would hold my tiles in my place. I was WRONG. As other reviews have already mentioned, this 'raised' grid is made out of flimsy plastic, and is hardly raised at all, so if you bump the grid a bit, the tiles still scatter. This was a total waste of money, and I should have gone and tried to find one of the older hard-plastic versions. Beware!

Summary: Love my Scrabble but shipping was a nightmare!

Review: The game is great but I'm probably not going to order any items again since there was a big communication problem between DHL/Airborne and the US Post Office where I have a P O Box.
Because I have been a victim of identity theft, I do not have anything delivered to my home. However, your website said that an attempt had been made to do just that.
DHL/Airborne says they turned the package over to the US Post Office on September 23rd but they're both pointing fingers at each other as to who attempted the home delivery.
I finally got the package last night - 10-20-05.
