Couldn't find this anywhere, it was a decent price and our son is crazy, absolutely crazy about Skylander's so we had to get it for Christmas. As one reviewer noted, it does smell kinda funny (petroleum-ish?) so I made sure to air it out in the attic before wrapping it. It's been sitting in the foyer, waiting for the first day back at school and so far I've not noticed the odor, but if you put your nose close to it, you can smell it. Other than that, it's colorful, has a separate zip pocket in the front that has spaces for pencils, fairly durable--hey it's a kid's backpack and our son is 7, so he's not carrying a whole lot of heavy material. Our son loves it so that's all that matters to us, really.
