I used to play with Hotwheels and Matchbox cars as a child, and now my son is at the age where he could start a collection. I've tried several playsets from both MB and HW and both seem to be lacking in quality. The ideas are good, now the craftsmanship needs to be improved.
We just purchased this for our daughter at Toys r Us for more that 10 dollars over MSRP. This was a bad start. The "wheel" carousel to lift the car up does not unload the cars properly on the second level even when the arrows are aligned. The unloading cars always fall under the off-load ramp and crash down to the bottom of the wheel. The manual lift doesn't work as the plastic is so flimsy the whole structure twists and the car usually falls backwards. One person needs to hold the structure while anything is done on it. I can barely get it functioning let alone a 3 year old. Garbage.
Cons: Low quality, Not durable, difficult to operate
Difficult for my 5 year old to operate. Doesn't do much. Poor quality. Terrible instructions for assembly. Save your money cause this thing is not worth it.
