This thing is awesome starting from the box. Its big, its heavy and full of vehicle fun. It has a great variety of vehicles from tiny motorcycles all the way to Big Bus and everything in between. As for this box I got for my son the ones I liked/recall the most are 3 motorcycles, 1 big bus, 1 Mars Rover, 2 track stars, and a minion pig (Angry Birds all the way) My son is unboxing them on a 1 per day basis and its really cool to see him going thru all the cars to pick one for the day. Its a real excitement for him everyday to get to pick a new vehicle to unbox. The price, the amount, the variety. this box is a win-win overall
Cons: Low quality, couple cars don't have good paint (chips)., i remember cars as a kid were indestructable, sand snow bathtub...paint was great! no worries!
Amazing value.
Loved the selection of cars.
If I ordered another 50, would it be the same 50 cars???
I did notice that the "motorbike" with 2 wheels doesn't stay upright! . . . perhaps a bigger rear wheel? or bigger front, smaller back (after all... the bike is always falling downhill...front wheel traction (and weighting) for direction is better than in the back!). Have never been able to get bike to loop!
Same problem with the trike...front wheel is too small in width. Car tends to slip sideways and not ride on the wheels. No chance of looping here.
Maybe consider a 3 wheeler, similar to the bombardier bike (can-am roadster)?!? with 2 wheels in front, for directional stability?...
Would also love to see "vintage" 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s cars....or maybe a link on the Mattel site to take me to people who are selling "good vintage products".
Pros: High quality, Durable, great variety, cool packaging
I bought this for my 3-year-old for Christmas this year. The box is shoebox sized and has 50 assorted cars neatly arranged in their packages inside. The variety is perfect - super cool cars of course, with even a few motorcycles, airplanes, and helicopters. I can't wait to see his face when he opens this gift. He will love it and play with them for years (in fact, he still plays with his Opa's Hot Wheels!).
