My grandson was so happy when he got his boombox. He listens to it everyday and goes to sleep with it on

Being an obsessed, Pirate fan, I just *had* to have this chest. I mean, it is beautifully designed to look very similar to the film version. Sure, it's not that $250 Pirates Chest from MasterReplicas, but it's still beautifully-crafted.
The heart, to my disappointment, was not squishy. I figured it would have the "heart-like" touch to it, but it's only plastic. It played the CD pretty well, though the sound was little low (even at the highest volume). I really enjoyed the "little" compartments to the side of the heart (inside the chest). Though you can't fit a "real" heart in there, you could definitely fit keys or a Master Replicas Pirates of the Caribbean II Prop Replica Elizabeth Swann's Necklace.
The BIG disappointment was that you have to plug it into an outlet. Why couldn't this use batteries instead?? That way I could carry this around, pretending to have the Dead Man's Chest. All it does is sit there, playing music that is only audible for a quiet party.
So, anyway, this product is perfect for any Pirates fan, but its low-sound, none "squishy" heart, and cord will probably dampen their spirit. Thanks for reading!
 A nice collectible item June 5, 2007

I bought this because I like Pirates Of The Caribbean stuff. This is a nice novelty item to have and will no doubt increase in value over time for collectors of such items. Having said that, I wish the storage compartments were a bit larger to be able to store CD's. The compartments aren't very deep so they won't hold much other than some coins or rings. It would have been even nicer if it was also a radio too. It's nothing great as a CD player is concerned, very basic. But this is a cool novelty item to have and I will enjoy showing it off to friends.
I give it 4 stars for being the unique item that it is. I would have given it 5 stars if it also had a built in AM/FM radio and larger storage capacity.
It also allows you to hook your MP3 player up via a port located in the front of the chest. I haven't tried this out yet, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
Wouldn't it have been extra cool to have provided a remote control shaped like Jack Sparrow's compass to go with it!
