You have a new toy. Do you read the instructions first or start looking through EF reviews?

I always read the reviews before buying but I need the instructions because I never know where to put batteries lol

I play around with the toy before reading the instructions -- then, I read the instructions to see if it has a special feature that I may have missed.

I always read the instructions, especially if the toy is rechargeable

If I buy a toy, I have probably already read most of its EF reviews, but I'll read the instructions if it comes with them.

The instructions will be around for awhile but more than likely I will never look at them. The only time I look at them is if I'm having problems with the toy.

I tend to read the reviews before making the purchase, and if I'm particularly excited about something I'll read them again while the item is in transit. So I usually have all the information I need before the toy's arrival, and only bother with the official instructions if I have to wait for it to charge or something before use. Often the instructions don't get read until I sit down to write a review, after multiple uses of the toy.

If it comes with instructions, I read those first. If not, I'd hit EF.

I usually read the reviews BEFORE buying the toy, then I'll read the instructions when I get it.

Sometimes I'll flip through all the packaging and instructions just to enjoy the fun of having a new toy but, by that time, I've usually done my homework and already read the reviews.

Most instructions are so badly written...or generic, I almost always just "figure it out".

The EF user reviews have always been far more helpful then instructions that come with the toys.

For some strange reason, I LOVE reading instructions. So yeah, I read the instructions before using any toy that comes with them.

Reading the instructions takes away from the potential hilarious mess ups that might ensue. I always just set them off to the side unless it's something I genuinely can't figure out after a few minutes of playing with it.

I figure it out as I go, but occasionally I come to Eden for a bit of extra help or tips if I need them.

I never read instructions for anything unless if it breaks.

I love the reviews but I first try myself. I have gone to Eden for tips too!
