This review is from: Matchbox: Deluxe Pop-Up Playset - Dragon's Castle (Toy)
For some reason, Amazon looks to only be selling the 2 larger sets out of this series of 5 Matchbox Adventure Sets that are currently in stores. They are portable, fold-up, and come with one car each. They interconnect with each other to form a larger play area. There is one other larger set like this one, the Construction Zone, and 3 smaller sets: Snake Jungle, Auto Center, and Harbor Patrol.
This one is a castle theme, complete with a car launching, crossbow catapult, and a red plastic dragon, with an opening and closing mouth. The one noticable flaw in this set is that the dragon is suppose to have a secret door that opens to the upper level, when you pull apart a section of his body. It is hinged and looks like it should open separate from his body, so that a car can fit easily through the tunnel when it's open, however the entire dragon must be snapped off at once, which causes the body to get in the way of cars. One little extra latch was apparently forgotten in the design. This set, and most of the others come with two platform ramps, which can be moved around the playset, and used to connect with the others sets. Having all 5, I must say it is nearly impossible due to the positions and sizes of the ramps, to connect them all in an ideal arrangement. You are left using the clip that holds the set closed as a connector, which isn't flat so cars can't drive across. Aside from a few design flaws, these sets have been a lot of fun for my son. The multi levels, tunnels, and nooks and crannies that you can play with your cars in are plentiful. With it's thin plastic, you would think the set would fall apart easily, but it doesn't and is securely made. Keep in mind the small extra pieces, cars, and ramps, have to be placed just so in order to close the portable case back up. One last note, the Snake Jungle playset, comes with the smallest accessory (choking hazard) pieces of the 5 sets. It has a small boulder, and a VERY small trophy. While the other 4 sets have some tiny pieces, they are all pretty oddly shaped and fairly larger than most under 3 choking size items. You definitely want to remove the two items from Snake Jungle if you have little ones around.

This review is from: Matchbox: Deluxe Pop-Up Playset - Dragon's Castle (Toy)
I take my 3 year old daughter on the road with me a lot for work. This and the other Match box pop up sets have been lifesavers. It isn't a terribly complicated toy and therefore requires her to use her imagination for most of her play. It packs up fairly easily and is compact and easy to travel with. Great summer trip toy to entertain kids in an otherwise boring hotel room!
