Product Description

Editorial Review

Dinosaurs are a common obsession among kids and this T-Rex Mountain playset takes children back to the Mesozoic Era for unlimited play in a prehistoric time. Per Fisher-Price’s storyline, there are two camps of dinosaurs and primitive humans who are battling with each other over land—the Predators, who are destroying all the natural resources, and the Ecovores, who are doing everything in their power to preserve the land. This multi-level playset is the headquarters for the Predators and has a variety of secret weapons to keep the Ecovores out. Kids can roll a falling boulder or knock a tree over onto intruders, or they can capture enemies underneath a claw trap with the press of a button. The best weapon of all is the button-activated T-Rex skull with red light-up eyes and roaring sounds that gulps down any caveman that dares get close to its mouth. T-Rex Mountain can be reconfigured each time kids play with it so the setup and adventure may never be the same. The set comes with T-Rex, caveman, and prehistoric bird figures and, as a special bonus, includes three additional dinosaurs and two cavemen with clubs. Three "AAA" batteries are included to power the sound effects.--Cristina Vaamonde

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice addition to the collection, June 25, 2005

We are big Imaginext fans at our house, so when I saw this, I knew it would be a hit. My sons are 5 and 2, and the 5 year old loves his Imaginext pirates and dinosaurs.
It took me about 20 minutes to put together, and that includes the time spent shooing the boys away until I was done. Like most Imaginext, it wasn't difficult to figure out. This one, however, does require a screwdriver for a battery compartment and the big T-rex head.
Pluses - the toy is sufficiently scary and makes some great dinosaur roars and crunching noises. I really like the level of interactivity as well. The boulders can be dropped through all sorts of places, which even the 2 year old gets a kick out of.
Minuses - Not quite as durable as some of the others, especially the little extras, such as fences and prehistoric plants. They keep coming off, but the kids don't mind. Also, since it is built on three levels, it's hard to pick up and carry around.
All the same, I'd certainly buy it again, as it gives my son's dinosaurs a nice home.

After reading the reviews for the product, I felt the need to post one myself. My son received this item as a gift for his 5th Birthday back in July when it 1st came out. He was soo excited because he already had all the Dinosaurs that belong to the playset. We put it together for him and it has been nonstop fun since. He really enjoys playing with it and little brother loves to hear the Dino head roar and make the crunching sound. We have not had any problems with it falling apart. This is the best thing my son got for his birthday that is actually still plays with. I would recommend that anyone who has a Dino lover get this product it is well worth it. One more thing the only problem we have is getting the leaves to stay on but I guess that isn't a big deal because you can put them in different places on the toy.

Hope this helps with anyone Christmas list!!!

We have been a fan of Imaginext for about 2 years since we purchased some of the now discontinued city sets for our son. He started his Imaginext "collection" at age 7 and at age 9 still enjoys building and reconfiguring the sets. I recently purchased the T Rex mountain since he is a science and dinosaur fan. He loves it! He combined it with his Rockslide Ridge and Coast Guard set to make a "Jurassic Theme Park." This toy really sparks some good creative play. I do not agree with the age range on the box--it may be a bit difficult for a 4 year old to put together without help-but for the 6 to 9 age group, it provides a great opportunity for constructive, creative play. The set is colorful and has some neat "special effects."
