1.0 out of 5 stars Worst toy ever, September 20, 2006
This review is from: Hot Wheels Terrordactyl Track Set (Toy)
First, it took over an hour to put together, including when we realized two pieces of track were mis-labled, AND when we had to take apart a "hard-wired" piece with a screwdriver to fix a flaw. At one point we told my little boy we thought it was broken and we'd have to get another toy -- he put his little hands over his face and burst out in tears, and that broke my heart in a million pieces so we kept at it. We finally got it put together and quickly realized, there is no way in the laws of either physics or engineering that it will ever, ever work the way it is supposed to.

It takes no batteries, which my husband thought would be a plus, and relies on the child pushing a lever to propel cars forward and around the track. The track has two options (theroretically) -- to go all around the loop-the-loop, or shoot at the dinosaur and set the dinosaur into flight.

Yeah right.

If our son were older and knew how it was supposed to work, he would have been sorely disappointed. But as he's three and a half, he thought it was too cool that the cars just launch randomly into space, never once doing what they were supposed to do. If you push the lever too hard, they fly off and hit the cat. If you push more gently, they just whiz and fall off the track.

And the dinosaur? Total garbage. Try to hit it and it just falls off -- no majestic soaring whatsoever.

Total waste of money and time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Designed, but fun once you MacGuyver it, October 10, 2006
By 
J. Birchett (Winston-Salem, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hot Wheels Terrordactyl Track Set (Toy)
My son absolutely loves this horribly designed thing. We bought it yesterday and spent the requisite hour setting it up only to find that we couldn't get the stupid "Fair start Lever" to work the way it seemed that it should. The instructions say to lower the lever and then the players can crank the levers to make the cars go around, but the lever does absolutely nothing. It seems designed to avoid touching the red stop-blocks that it should be holding down. We were able to span the inexplicable gap in this lever with scotch tape and then use a trash can twist wire to permanently affix the start lever to the red stop blocks. Now the cranks are able to fire the cars out all the time.

The toy is a bit complex for my three-year-old, but he loves it anyway. I have to constantly put the pteradactyl back into the "launch tube" because he isn't strong enough to get it seated. He doesn't understand the game aspect of the toy at all, which is why we disabled it, although it doesn't work anyway, but you have to disable it to get the toy to work at all. He also doesn't understand how to set up the volcano and switch the track diverter, but he's happy having the cars launch off of the ramp anyway, so it's just as well.

Some of the older boys in the neighborhood played with it after I rigged it up and they seemed to enjoy the competitive game aspect of it, but I could never give this toy a review above a three because it didn't work out of the box. Anything that has to be rigged with tape and wire to achieve the advertised functionality should get a one, but the kids loved it so much, I gave it a three.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, does not do what it "advertises", November 3, 2006
This review is from: Hot Wheels Terrordactyl Track Set (Toy)
I was really disappointed in this toy. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it. I have a 5 year old who has a hard time "launching" the cars so that they keep going around the track. Honestly, I have a hard time keeping the car moving around the track. The pterodactyl is suppose to move from side to side so that either car going around the track can hit it and send it soaring, but the wind up mechanism wears down very quickly. Batteries would have been better than the wind up mechanism.
Save your money, there are better car sets out there. My son has hardly played with it since he got it three weeks ago.
