I can’t promise anything about the quality, but the one I was looking at also promises returns for 30 days, and the seller has good reviews.

I’ve spent the last day or so looking at TONS of different planetarium models, and everything I’ve seen suggests this is the only one worth buying if you want something pretty and educational that will stick around for a while.

Ah well. I figure I’ll get the pro, and hopefully by the time it breaks (I would guess a couple of years, based on your evaluation of the technology and other reviews I’ve seen) hopefully I will be magically wealthy… Or maybe the extra will be cheaper then!

Anybody that bags this planetarium will never be satisfied with life due to their over the top expectations. If you are not impressed by the 60k stars projected onto the ceiling in the comfort of your own room, night or day, then how boring are they?

All in all the Sega Homestar Pro 2nd Edition is well worth the money. You can pick them up now for as little as USD$160 including free postage, my one cost USD$180 which is still great value for money. My 5 & 6 year olds love this in their room at night. I have gone a bit crazy with buying “space” products since my son has developed a keen interest in astronomy I have purchased this as well as the Uncle Milton’s solar system and moon in my room. I figure it is much easier and comfortable to learn about our solar system and the rest of the galaxy from the comfort of your own home, rather than buying an expensive telescope, waiting for a dark clear night in the middle of nowhere on top of some mountain. Which is where David should go and stay!

I just got my Sega Homestar Extra. I was so very excited about this product right from the outset. I purchased it via eBay for almost $550 bucks. This vendor from Japan also sent me a xerox copy of the working manual in English. As soon as I set it up and have it turned on, my heart just sank. This unit is almost like a slide projector and nothing more. The stars sizes are so large, it’s not even a good representation of what the actual star-watching is like. I could’ve just buy a slide projector and buy a couple of star or galaxy slides and make my own. I am really bugged about the size of the stars, as they are simple just huge, on the wall and the color disk looks faded when projected. The rotating disk just spins the star round and round in a circle. I wish it would’ve simulated the star movement, but it didn’t, it just spin in circle. Anyhow, I wish Sega uses the laser technology to make this product instead of using cheesy slides, because that’s what the effect turned out to be.……

In conclusion, I recommend people to skip this product because there is nothing that this product does that really mimic the real star look at all.…

Good luck!

I bought homestar pro 2nd edition along with some disks and looks so cool; I would like to know

if anyone has 3D homestar planetarium disk version (with glasses for 3d viewing), and how to

obtain it; I cannot find sega toys’ e-mail address.

Please help

Thank you
