It's a shame that Hasbro has stooped so low as to to producing and selling at an exhorbitant price a cheaply-made version of one the most enjoyable, educational, and popular board games ever played. It is made of cheap, thin, breakable plastic, with flimsy plastic tile racks, and a very cheap looking board. When I saw this on Amazon and read the manufacturer's description (which turned out to be very misleading), I though it be would be professional quality. For this kind of money, I should not have had to twist in the rubber "legs" or stick the decal letter counters onto the racks, nor should I have had to suffer the embarassment of having the tiles slip off the board every time it was turned on its pedestal -- thus ruining the first and last game played using this set. As as matter of fact, it is not worth any amount of money.
The only good thing I can say about it is that Amazon was gracious enough to send me a pre-paid return label, accept my return and fully refund my money. It is not. If you're thinking of buying it: DON'T. This Scrabble set is definitely not worth the $145 I paid for it. I play Scrabble on a regular basis and wanted a durable, "deluxe" set with a turntable to add to my collection of Scrabble sets.
And, to add to the cheap quality, I had to put parts of the set together.
The board is totally colorless unlike mine where there is a color code to each double or triple letter or word score.Also, I was led to believe that when I used my newly opened Amazon credit card I would receive a $30 refund, which I have not received. I was disappointed in that my granddaughter's version is unlike mine. Please respond.
I can buy this from Hasbro and walmart for 29.99. Maybe some one needs to check if you have the right price listed. Did someone make a error.
Drawbacks: The pieces are easy to lose, and turns can take a long time, especially if you have all vowels in your queue. The game is really fun, and pretty educational. For those who havn't played, scrabble is a game where you get 7 letters and arrange them in words on a board for points. The catch is that you have to make your word fit within other players' words by using the same letters. It has certainly helped my spelling skills.
