Tomica Super Big Playset Review

Tomica Super Big Playset

My wide-eyed and excited 7 year old tore into the box ready to make a cool train set up. We pieced it together and found that there is nothing that KEEPS it together. Everything just lays on top of the supports or loosely within the plastic forms. If you accidentally nudge any one part of the track, supports, or buildings (as children often do), the whole thing gets screwed up requiring lots of repair and reset time. With a younger sibling wanting to play, too, we spent the day dealing with a crying child whose train set kept falling apart. Nothing (no clips, slots, boundaries - nothing) holds the track or supports in place so the whole thing is very unstable. We thought this would be such a fun toy, but it only brought frustration for everyone.
In addition, the way the tracks are laid out, you either have to buy another train or manually move the trian from the upper track to the lower track. It is not all connected. The set comes with one train.
I am also concerned about the road pieces. They are simply cardboard cutouts with a glossy surface. They will easily bend or tear and be ruined with a wet spill. It would have been better with plastic.
All in all we were disappointed with this product. This is our first Tomica purchase and I think it will be our last.

Byun Byun Circuit Tomica World (Japan) Review

This is an excellent circuit for matchbox and takara die cast cars to whiz round. Has rollers in the middle of the straights to give your car a boost. Half the time, the cars will get to the other roller and continue going round without any assistance. Larger models like trucks and vans wont fit inside the rollers. Well made from durable plastics. The rollers will even sound an alarm if a car is stuck inside it.
They had it on display at a shopping mall in Hong Kong and my 3 year old was captivated by it. Amazingly crazy prices being charged on Amazon, as it costs HKD299 (US$38) retail at Sogo and HKD 329 (US$42) at ToysRUS Hong Kong.
I also bought the byun tower addon for HKD499 (US$64).
Main downside like most Takara toys here is that the instructions are all in Japanese, which is not a big problem as its pretty easy to set this one up.

I bought this for my Son who is 3 years old. He has always wanted a RC car and this seemed like a durable inexpensive option for him. I like the fact that is easy to steer and that it has light on the front that show if it is on or off.
This car is steered by the right and left wheels. One thing with these types of cars is that they should be able to do a complete 360 but with regular batteries this car us unable to do 360s on most surfaces. Be prepared to buy a 9.6v battery pack so that you don't have to waste so much money on AA batteries. Also with a good battery pack the car is supposed to be 30% faster. Don't buy the Tyco battery pack there are plenty of other option here on Amazon for much less money.
Edited after playing with this for a week:
I Must say that I am impressed with how durable this Tyco RC Stunt car is. My son's two favorite activities with his car is driving them off the dining room table and driving them down the stairs!! It has held up prefectly and just keeps going and going as long as we put batteries in it. A note on the batteries while we were at my in-laws over Christmas we put in some really good Energizer batteries. WOW what a difference they made over the super cheap batteries I buy from Menards. It would do 360s and was much faster then we had expierenced in the past.

This car is still holding up great. It is the end of March here in WI so we are finally starting to get outside more. I am sure he will be driving this around outside for most of the summer.n The 9.6V Rechargeable Battery Pack and Chargerlisted here on Amazon are a great addition to this car and have saved me so much money on batteries. They also make the car a lot faster then regular AA batteries.

Now that we are outside with this thing it is really amazing how much time you can get on 1 battery pack! We consistantly get over 45 min of run time. We are going to buy our 2 year old this same car but in red. This thing just keeps going and going and never stops until the battery is dead.
