This review is from: Hot Wheels Dragon Fire Track Set (Toy)

Overall this toy is super fun. I like the mechanical portion and it works well. The toy works as advertised. The only issue I have is with construction. I pinched my hands several times trying to put together the twisting ramps. It also required a lot of leverage on my part to connect everything. Just be careful when assembling. The toy comes apart for transport very easily, though! Be careful: Don't bend the plastic parts by force. This is easy to do, but if you are patient it will work out. My son is 7 and enjoys this toy a great deal.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a bore..., January 7, 2008

This review is from: Hot Wheels Dragon Fire Track Set (Toy)

This toy is all flash and no substance. It works. The cars shoot around the track a few times befire they finally wipe out. But the boosters don't seem to have anough torque to recover from one car to the next so if you try to run more than one car at a time, it's likely the second car through the booster will not make it around the loop.

But all that aside, the toy is a bore. My kids (ages 3 and 5) were on FIRE to get this toy up and running and were so excited once it was assembled to play that they could hardly contain themselves. About 15 minutes after they started playing, they lost interest and went back to manually sending their hotwheel cars down the simple track going down the stairs to the basement. The toy just has no substance. You put a car in, it shoots around for a while, then it eventually flips over or something and stops. The end. It was more fun to build having my kids searching for and handing me the right lettered track piece than it was to play with. But I must admit, they were certainly sold on it's packaging hype and flashy layout.

Final word: Fun to watch for a few minutes, but not worth the $40. There are much more engaging ways to entertain a child for that much money.

This review is from: Hot Wheels Dragon Fire Track Set (Toy)

We first bought this toy for my son's friend (both age 3). His father and I had to assemble the toy in front of 4 very "eager and energetic" kids so that they could start playing it. Assembly was quite easy for being placed under that type of pressure. The track pieces are letter-coded, making it very simple to figure out with/without instructions. For Christmas, I assembled the toy the night before (now I'm a pro) so that he could immediately start playing with it. It's quite durable and my son carried it upstairs to his room with no problems. Another reviewer commented about the fingers getting caught in the wheel. I agree. But, we have taught our son to turn off the machine whenever it jams before trying to fish out the stuck vehicle. No problems! Quick tip: Play with the toy on a hard/smooth surface. We noticed that on carpet the cars don't make it through the track as well as on hardwood floors, etc...makes the fun last and last.
