5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a "bullet proof" Sand Play Set, July 2, 2008

We found these and got them 2 weeks before a vacation. Great price to begin with. This set is bullet proof. The gauge of the plastic is very thick. These will not crack like most if not all other play sets. The rake tines will give slightly but won't snap or crack. The shovel is stiff for digging. Plus they have a little nub for thumbs to help push or pull. The bucket is VERY sturdy. The castle is equally strong. We had loads of fun using this on the beach. Other children on the beach wanted to play with them. Reluctantly my girls let them ;). Cust service from Green Toys equally great. We lost the rake to the Atlantic, we got home and emailed Green Toys on how to buy a new one. They send a replacement free of charge and some little extras.

You will not be disappointed with this set, based on it construction, if you don't lose a piece or two. It will last you for a long, long time.


UPDATE 5/2010

Just wanted to update this review. My girls are 3 years older and so is their play set. They are scratched up like any producted used in sand. BUT the color has not faded and NOT one crack any where. Even the rope used for the bucket is good to go. Now we left them out two winters and garaged the other one. BUT if not for the scratches the look good as new.

I bought these for my 3-year old and 17-month old to use in our backyard sandbox. I was so excited to find something that wasn't the usual primary-colored shiny plastic. This set is gorgeous, the pail has a strong and cool-looking rope handle. Our girls play with this every day. It was a great purchase. Not the sort of outside toy that you throw away at the end of the season, it's just so durable.

I'd been waiting for this product to become available for some time. The product was more than I could have hoped for...no cheesy handle, instead it has a strong rope. It is very durable and, best of all, all three of our grandchildren love playing on the beach building sand castles. In fact, that have requested a couple more sets.
