The quality of hot wheels toys has deteriorated so much since I was a child. While I haven’t been impressed by a single track or playset that I have purchased for my son this one is hands down the WORST so far. The ramp is so flimsy that even the car it came with can not go down such a shallow ramp and make it past the shark’s head. We figured out how to get the shark’s mouth to stay open, but the phrases from the shark are so annoying that I’d rather have not figured it out at all. Yes, my son is playing with it at the moment, but I don’t see him choosing to play with this toy much after tonight. He chose this toy for his birthday based on the commercial he saw on TV. Every 2-3 minutes I have to “fix” something on the toy. Next time he wants car tracks I will not be purchasing from Hot Wheels again. If I could give this toy ZERO stars I would have.
I bought this for my 4 year old son, and as others have said, the commercials make this toy to be a lot more than it is. However, once we figured out the playsets features and its limitations my son loves it. The number one drawback is the sharks head. It took me probably about an hour to figure it out so that the mouth would close properly when the car goes through it on the track. Also, don’t expect the car to shoot into the shark’s mouth from the launcher. It is not supposed to.
This is probably not Hot Wheels best designed playset, but my son has really enjoyed since we figured out how it works which is why I have reviewed this as well as I have.
My 3.5 year old son loves this play set. He played with it for several hours the first day that we got it. He has played with it for at least an hour each of the following days as well. We have several other Matchbox and Hot Wheels pop-up play sets that my son also loves to play with. I think that if your child loves other play sets, they will really like this one. This one has a lot of different things that they can do with the car.
My only complaint is that it is hard to prop open the shark’s mouth, which you need to do each time the car is going to go down that particular ramp.
