Cons: Low quality, Not durable, won't stay on wall; too heavy
I cannot get it to stick to the wall as it is so heavy. I had to buy two way tape but it didn't work either. Now I have to go back to the store again and get the strongest command tape. Try explaining this to a little one that wants to play with it, but it keeps falling off the wall. It is so frustrating.
i love this piece. just make sure to take your time with install and wait the time necessary for command strips to properly seal to the wall before attaching tower
My grandson wanted wall tracks for his 5th birthday. I sent him pictures of the many sets available and he chose the Power Tower with the car cruncher. His dad mounted it and after the prescribed waiting time to allow it to adhere to the wall, he got to use it. He loves it. Out of his large collection of HotWheels cars, some scoot through the cruncher, some get caught and some don't stay on the track and have been set aside. His mom reports he played with it all afternoon and his 1.5yr old brother is fascinated with it, but tries to take it off the wall---obviously 1.5 yr olds are not ready for it. I got a phone call from my grandson describing the whole operation and a big thank you.
I would have rated this five stars but for the fact that once assembled, a kid can break it easily. The toy is awesome looking, and everything (including the elevator, chomping mouth, and chopping saw) worked just like on the box. Assembly was pretty easy (had it on the wall and working in 15 minutes), and the instructions were easy to understand. My only complaint is that the way the brackets hold it at only a few points, when a child gets curious and pokes around looking at the parts, it comes apart and off the wall. Once reassembled, it continued working, but I worry that repeated kid treatment will damage it more significantly. That said,it's still a ton of fun, and watching the kid's face when he saw it going was worth the purchase price, even if it doesn't last forever.
