I tried to talk my son out of spending his birthday money on this toy but he HAD to have it. I tried on convice him it was made of cheap plastic and would be broken within a day. Well I was wrong and he reminds me I was wrong everytime he plays with it(Daily). This toy is a hit and I like that it has a volume control. I got my finger stuck in the skull trying to remove an ovesized car that got stuck. It didn't hurt because all the pieces are blunt and the kids have never gotten thier finger pinched. The noises it makes did scare my 2 year old at first but now he also loves this toy and helping his big brother play.

I love the way Matchbox is designing more products with young kids in mind. These neat little themed playsets are meant to be played with rather than stored away by collector's only. Not that I have anything against collecting. But I still like it when toy makers keep kids in mind as well as collectors. Matchbox has been doing that with these great playsets. I first got the Haunted House one for my sone and now this Pirates Buried Treasure playset.

Kids will love the spooky atmosphere with chilling sounds and lights as the cars pass through the skull island trees and lagoon. Great even for your little imaginext figures even. And for Collectors, I personally think these make wonderfull frightful dioramas for display. The sets are all well built, and work very well and are durable. Comes with a pirate SUV and playmat. Well made toy and very fun for kids.

My whole family LOVES this toy! My son picked it out to buy with his own money (and thanks to BK for the $3 coupon!) and all my kids (age 2, 3 1/2 and 5 1/2) have a blast with it! It always works like it's supposed to, unlike every Hot Wheels playset I've ever tried.

Makes cool pirate sounds - they freak the kids out just enough for them to have giggle fits every time. I love that the kids have to push levers and things to make the car go instead of it being all automatic. It makes them a real part of the action and they love it. This Christmas was our first time trying any of the playsets for cars and I wish we had gotten them sooner. They are a big hit! And this one is lots of fun. It's both the kids and MY favorite.

Oh, and mine came with a playmat that they can put all the Matchbox "Hero City" playsets around (we have 4 now) and make their own little town. Very cool! I recommend this toy for any kids 3 and up.
