Monorail Metropolis Start Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm 16 now and I still play with my Rokenbok sets. I first got this very start set when I was 9 (an older edition of course but a Monorail none-the-less) and immediately it became my favorite toy. Almost every penny I got for birthdays and Christmas for the next few years would go to getting more cool Rokenbok sets to keep building and adding. I can truly say that this toy inspired me to become an engineer - which I still fully intend to do.
Don't get your kids 'action figures', get them something that will stimulate their creative and constructive instincts - get them this!

Maxim 50 Pc Tumbletree Town w/ Buildings, Vehicles and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally got these blocks for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas and it turns out my 12 and 13 year old kids love them too! It seems no one is too old to enjoy building with blocks. The cars, trees and people add to the fun and imagination and my little one loves knocking over the towers even more than building them. What a great product!

City planners can stack the decorated blocks to build a few skyscrapers, a bunch of medium-sized buildings, or just have loads of little one-story buildings. Each car and truck has a place to go in this busy town. After rescuing a cat from a tree, the fire engine can put down its ladder and go back to the fire station. The mail truck can deliver mail to all the buildings and then carry out-of-town mail to the train station for pickup by the next cargo train. If the people get tired of walking, the taxi can give them a ride. Besides being a great addition to any train collection, it's perfect for those times when you need to pack a few toys to take along on vacation or a visit to Grandma's. With trucks, cars, people, trees and signs, you don't need to bring along a whole train set to have hours of fun. Includes 29 building blocks with painted details, four trucks, three cars, four people figures, four trees and six traffic signs.

CAT Dump Truck 11 Function Digital Radio Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't buy this toy. It does not work as advertised (the dump bed does not work) and it you have to turn it off and back on over and over to get it to work at all. The antenna is also too fragile for a kids toy.

Starter Set # 10 Construction Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i bought these while in Germany a few years ago, and they are a great toy. My son made lots of different creations from the pieces and has had many uses for all the parts. I have two sets and am very happy. The books are easy to follow, the models actually roll or move as shown. I don't know why they aren't more popular here, but if your kids like kinex or legos, then these will be a hit.
The pieces are all wood or plastic, even the tools. I recommend a container to store, as it's easy to loose the washers, but other than that, they are great.

Tonka Toughest Mighty Loader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On the shelf or on line, this trucks shovel appears to lock into position above the rig but it doesnt. It took me nearly 10 minutes to remove strapping anchored to this truck within the packaging. My son spent a minute playing with this truck only to move on to his other toys. Yeah, the shovel portion drags on the floor and will NOT lock into position above the rig. This truck can hardly be moved through the carpet much less in sand. I grew up with Tonka trucks and this was obviously designed by some young suit that was babysat by the television and playstation. If your looking for a durable fun truck for your child, move on as this truck wont get the smile your looking for.

Lego Railway Express Train #4561 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This might be the only Lego train that I would consider giving three stars. I picked this up at a garage sale last year and when I got it put together, I decided that it needed an immediate rebuild as an entirely different train. Your mileage may vary, and kids are going to go nuts over any kind of train, but I did not like the design. The engine is this odd little wedge that uses a custom base. The cars have ugly blue tinted windows with large flip up sides. The cars themselves are far too long, something that looks very wrong as the train rounds a curve (much of the car stretches over the trackside). In the set's defense, I do like the emphasis on a train that can be loaded and unloaded (see, for example some of the newer passenger trains that lack doors entirely!). Perhaps I'm too conventional, but with a small amount of your own Lego pieces, you can turn this into a much more attractive design.
I should mention that this set comes from the 9 volt era of Lego trains. 9 volt runs on electrified track. Lego discontinued the system in 2007; motors and metal covered track have become increasingly scarce. The new "Power Function" trains use the same gauge track but they employ infrared remote control and battery-powered engines.
Cheers

Matchbox Real Working Rocky-Mid-size Rocky Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll start out by saying I received this truck yesterday and am taking to the post office this morning to return. Do not waste your money, the only thing about this truck that is like "Rocky the Robot" is the color. I guess we can say "What do you expect for $20." The descriptions makes it out to be completely like Rocky except smaller version. Not at all, yes it will say a few phrases, if you push down on the cheep looking load of gravel (I think that's what its supposed to be) in the dump bed. Yes will go up like Rocky, if you push it up and then it will say something. Besides losing my [...] for Rocky, I am now having to pay [...] to return, besides the shipping that Amazon charged me to send it to me. (even though I ordered it with other items and should have been free shipping) Have learned my lesson, only order things that I have actually seen somewhere else.

Norscot Cat 160H Motor Grader 1:87 scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was the second of this series that we purchased. I have been very pleased with the quality and durability of these products. They are made of a very heavy, durable metal. The blade on the bottom is only plastic and did eventually break off, but that was after two years or more of playing with it. I am very satisfied with these vehicles.

Bruder MAN Fire Engine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my son's favorite fire truck, and he knows a good fire truck when he sees one. It has held up AMAZINGLY to the rough and tumble play of a three year old. The ladder extends and retracts, the hose actually can shoot water, should you choose to show your child. Unfortunately my son figured it himself and has extinguished many a "fires" throughout our home. Worth the money.

Mighty World Emergency Response Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son has the police motorcycle, police car, and ambulance. Within a day of owning each of these items something has broken on each one of them. The handle bar broke on the motorcycle, the siren came off the ambulance and the wheel falls off. I think this line is so cute and my son loves it. However it is expensive and not well made. I have a difficult time recommending it to anyone.

Airfix A05007 1:72 Scale Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina Military Aircraft Classic Kit Series 5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have built several of this Airfix PBY kit, and I have had fun every time.
It's old--1966--but well made.
And even though it is 1/72 scale, it turns out quite large when you build it.
I have also built some other kits of this same plane, but this is my favorite.
The whole kit is well thought out, and comes in medium gray, which takes almost any color of paint (with the possible exception of white) well.
The model itself turns out beautifully: the lovely fish-shaped body, the big teardrop turrets, the high parasol wing.

Tonka Toughest Mighty Truck (Handle Color May Vary) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Believe it or not, this one is even better than the original Tonka Mighty Dump Truck. I had already bought my kids one of the classic Tonka Mighty Dump Trucks like I had as a boy. (The youngest was tearing around with it in the sand box, across the drive, everywhere, basically like I had.) I didn't intend to buy this new bigger one, I was just going to buy the Road Grader and Quarry Truck Pack. By a stroke of fortune the store was giving that pack away with this new Toughest Mighty Truck for about the same price, so I figured, "Wow, free truck!" and plopped it in the cart. Turns out that it would have been well worth it regardless.
I had seen this newer monster sized version, but wasn't sure what to make of it. This one is well thought out, and Tonka really did improve on the existing design. The larger, wider size makes it even better for little ones to push around as fast as their legs will go. It has fewer angled corners so wipeouts are less likely to draw blood/raise a lump than the older ones. The new handle at the top of the dump is great for dragging in and out of the sand box, storage box, etc. The open cab works better for some construction action figures (if you can find them.) Fits great in a 6'x6' sandbox and would do well in a 4'x4'. On top of the functionality, in ways it looks more like the newer more massive real life loaders in service now.
The only potential negative is that it is so large that it is probably overwhelming in small sandboxes. This also means that even high lifting loader toys will have trouble dumping into the bed without a ramp or a bit of "air time." Hasn't slowed my little ones down yet, though.
Now, if Tonka would just bring back the old 3920 Mighty Loader...
