Loom Rubber Bands 4800 pc Refill Kit w 16 Unique Rainbow Colors (300 of Each) & 200 Clips - Works w All Rubber Band Jewelry Looms - DIY Gift for Girls Boys & Bracelet Making Craft for Kids and Camps

After seeing so many reviews here mentioning the bad smell from their package of loom bands, I just wanted to mention that the package I received had NO BAD SMELLS at all. I ordered this package from ToysNGamesEtc in November, and liked them so much that I ordered from them again in December. Both orders arrived before Christmas. BTW, the product comes with S clips. I ended up purchasing a separate package of clips with my first order because this was not mentioned in the product description. No biggie, they'll all be put to good use. There's no such thing as too many clips, especially when you make a lot of smaller items like rings.The colors on these bands are just as pictured in the product photo and in some ways look even better than the bands that came with the original Rainbow Loom kit. However I did notice that these bands feel a little thinner and they are much more stretchy than the original bands; they're so stretchy that you may even feel that the bands might break since they become thinner as you stretch them. But no need to worry. We made several bracelets that required quite a bit of stretching and nothing broke. So far we have run into just one pink band that seemed a little thinner than the rest and might break while doing the looping part of the bracelet (after placing all the bands and turning the loom around), so we just carefully pulled that band out and replaced it with another one and continued on to complete the bracelet. I really wouldn't make a big deal out of a few broken bands in this set because I still come out ahead due to the bargain price it is offered here; it is still more economical than buying smaller packages elsewhere. Right now it comes out to 2.50 per pack of 600 bands! Excellent value indeed. This would cost more elsewhere.I also wanted to point out that when I'm comparing these bands to the bands that come with the Rainbow Loom kit, I'm talking about the "original" kit from Choon's Design and not any of the counterfeit or knock off kits. After my 8 yr old daughter opened her Christmas present, I compared her loom to the pictures on the Rainbow Loom company website (you can Google search for it) with tips for identifying the original product (or rather, how to spot counterfeit looms) and confirmed that the one I got is an original. I bought my Rainbow Loom from Michael's. I'm so glad I had the foresight to purchase extra refill bands because she went bonkers with the Rainbow Loom and went through all 600 bands that came with the kit in just a couple of days.Jan 10, 2014 update:I am so pleased with this purchase and my daughter couldn't be happier. I just noticed the price dropped to 15.95 (which comes to 2 bucks per pack of 600 bands). I could not pass this up and just placed my 3rd order for this set of 4800 loom bands. Great product and can never have too many bands. We have no problems making the more advanced style bracelets with them.I just want to mention again that the bands I received in my previous 2 orders did not smell bad at all, certainly not as bad as some other reviewers have mentioned. Mine do not smell any worse than regular office supply type rubber bands. I think these people may have purchased their set from a different seller whose product is not the same as the one I received from ToysNGamesEtc.

Does the job?

My daughter and I have made dozens of "friendship" bracelets with these bands and not one has broken. I thought they might be flimsy since the price was so good for the amount but they were very durable. I highly recommend!

I just got my shipment in the mail, and I have to say, the quality is pretty good.The bands came within 4 days, so the shipping is very fast and easy. The colors are vibrant and there are 8 packs just as shown. The smell, they smell a little bit different than the original rainbow loom brand, but nothing terrible. Each pack comes with a standard pack of S-clips which I think work better than the original c-clips. The packs have many bands, no skimping out on that part. The bands feel exactly the same as rainbow loom, not like they will break on one loop, and that's good for tight styles such as hexafish. They are also not overly thick or thin. Over all the bands are pretty good quality. They definitely met my expectations.The only part I did not like though is the broken ness. It's not overly terrible though, I have to say, I am being a bit of a snob. There are a few random small pieces of rubber band in each package, but I can only pick out one broken band per pack, which is better than some store bought packs. Also, it comes in a plastic pack which I was expecting a hard plastic container. Great over all

i'd give it 5 stars but i'm just disillusioned.I thought for the amount of rubber bands it was a great deal. Actually it is a Great Deal if you're here in America. I just realized that if you were visiting China or the Philippines you could get it for a quarter of the cost there. The price difference of 5 dollars is what i found out. I'm surprised how much markup there is from these products from China.That's my only issue. LOL. Great colors and separated so its easier to choose what color scheme you want to make your band.

My 6 year old is totally obsessed with these rubber band loom bracelets. I've sat down and made a couple myself and they're fun to pass the time. We purchased the original kit on clearance at a big box store and bought the 2 or 3 extra bags of rubber bands that were also clearanced with the kit. It didn't take more than about a week or so for her to blaze through those rubber bands, so naturally I hopped onto Amazon Smile to find a smokin' deal. These rubber bands definitely deliver that deal. At almost 5000 pieces for $10 shipped to my door with Prime 2 Day shipping, how can you go wrong? The rubber bands are good quality, if not better, than the ones that came with the original kit. The colors are vibrant and make for a variety of cute bracelets. My husband bought her a tackle box with 8 compartments to sort the bands individually by color. She throws the tackle box and her loom into her book bag and heads off to summer camp. Definitely recommended!

Used these to make some simple fishtail bracelets for the school's marching band. If you consistently wear the bracelet, they tend to crack/shrivel up before snapping. They're okay for someone who may not frequently wear the bracelets made.

These are really well priced for me. My girls are 9 and almost 11, they both love to just sit and make these bracelets. I bought them the loom and now they make me bracelets all day and all night. There is not difference in quality from the "Rainbow Loom" guys or anything you buy at a store. Unfortunately as the Dad, I gotta wear these things. That's not anything bad, just know that I'm wearing 4 of them as I type this to you.Seriously, they make so many that this was a great economical method of getting them more and letting them do more things. They enjoy reading books and watching various youtube videos to research more. These don't break often for them and they love that.
