Fisher-Price World of Little People Pop and Surprise Train Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my two year old's birthday. She loves vehicles and little people so I thought this would be a great toy for her. Unfortunately, it has quite a few problems.
The houses kind of push down into the track, and they snap off easily. The train only makes noises when it passes over a few places in the track. I thought the train itself would make some sound but it does not. The figures, such as the horse that come with the set are cute and well made.
HOWEVER, the train is far too large for the track. You can clearly see this by the picture on the box, that the train takes up more than half of the track. This didn't really seem like a problem to me until we took out of the box and my daughters (2 and 3 1/2) tried playing with it. Its nearly impossible to push the train around the track without the cars coming apart, and its not very entertaining either because the track is so small compared to the train!
For [...]I expected a bigger track and a train that made some sound. This is just terribly disappointing and my kids played with it for about two hours over the period of two days and have ignored it ever since. If you are looking for a trainset for your little one, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Battle Zone Field Command Military Micro Machines Playset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This particular playset was discontinued in 1992 and is very rare now. It is part of the Military series called "Battle Zone". This model is the Field Command playset. It is a Command Post that includes 1 M551 Sheridan Tank and 1 Humvee, and 3 troops. Later sets had only one vehicle, if that. It has a bunker the tank can hide in and shoot from, sandbag position on the roof, revolving radar dish, and more. Road through desert like landscape with a hidden land mine that flips the vehicle over. Nice way to display your military miniature vehicles. You can find more vehicles at Amazon if you do a search, and they have them used at garage sales, flea markets, and auction sites.
Micro Machines were tiny plastic toy vehicles, much smaller than Hot Wheels at about 1.5 inches long. They were made by the Galoob toy company in the 1980's and 1990's. The cars were usually sold in a 4 pack of related vehicles. They included civilian cars, truck, boats, planes, construction vehicles, and military equipment. They had unusual items like spacecraft, monster trucks, hang glider, surfers, all kinds of things. They also had franchise agreements to make toys for different movies and shows such as James Bond, Star Wars, Star Trek, Indian Jones, Predator, Terminator, Aliens, Babylon 5 and more. They made plastic heads the size of a shoe, that opened up into a related playset, such as a Yoda head that turned into the Dagobah swamp, or a Race Car helmet that transformed into a race track. The Galoob designers were very original and creative, and designed some of my favorite toys ever. In 1999 Galoob was the 3rd largest toy manufacturer in the USA, and competitor Hasbro purchased them in 1999. The new owners promptly shut down production of many of the Galoob toys including Micro Machines, and sold off the inventory. You can occasionally see the Micro Machines name on Star Wars toys, or toys sold overseas but they are gone at this time in USA. This makes the old sets, especially those that are still new in the box, very collectible. Now that the kids that owned them in the 1980's are growing up, the price can only go up on the collectibles market. Other really fun sets included the Hyways & Byways series with models like Wildcat Canyon, Colonel Cobbs Farm, Spikes Auto, Big Dady's Drag Strip, On-M-T Gas, Deep Sea Drive-n, Earls Auto Repair, Drawbridge set, Roadbuilders, and so much more.

Dueling Racers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy is my 11-year-old's favorite. You can configure the cars differently every time you build them. They are fun to race and the battery powered motors are so much better than the spring powered ones. It's a really good value and a great addition to your basic k'nex set.

Mega Bloks Thomas' Mountain Adventure Playset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HOrrible product! Its very difficult to put together because it falls apart even as you the adult are putting it together. The reason is that the blocks are all a lose fit. All this toy did is frustrate me. When I finally was able to put decent set together, it fell apart while my son was playing with it. I felt so angry because my son was very excited about this. Do not buy!

Kettler Baby Locomo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read the review that said this product was poorly made. I decided to get it anyway. How could a toy for $49.99 be all that bad? Well it is! The plastic is rickety, it tips easily and it is just not a great design. I can not recommend this. It's not even worth a fraction of the price.

The train car also boasts such features as removable safety foot rests and a seat belt, so your child will stay safe when you're outside, along with a highback seat for extra security.

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.
