My 5-year-old son begged for this after seeing the commercials for it, and I don't think he spent more than 30 minutes playing with it once he finally got it. Firstly, the croc repeats the same 15 seconds of annoying insults and irritating laughter continuously. Fortunately, you can turn this off. Secondly, we tried a wide variety of cars and it was pretty rare to get any of them to drop down and land correctly. I couldn't get any of them to launch from the boat. My son has bought most of the Hot Wheels tracks released in the last couple of years, and this one didn't seem to be well designed at all for having fun. I would recommend passing on this track.

My son had wanted this set since he first saw the commercial on TV. I told him that none of the Hot Wheels sets ever did what they said they would do on TV, but he still got this toy as a present. So sure enough...it doesn't do what it's supposed to do. He probably has way over 300 cars and we haven't been able to find one yet that works with it. I know it says "not for use with some cars", but that is ridiculous. So now my son has a toy that doesn't work, but that he won't let me return because he's convinced that someday he will find a car that works. People shouldn't market toys that don't do as shown on TV. This is very misleading to both children and adults. I am not impressed with this set at all.

No wonder they are selling a 30 dollar toy for 5 bucks, it does not work and the quality is sub par. I have three boys so we get alot of hotwheels toys and this one is the worst I have seen. Do not take if it was free. Garbarge and disappointment await. I gave one star because you have to, but I would give negitive stars if I could.

My son received this for his 4th birthday and we love it. Yeah, you have to find the right type of car (don't they sell a set just for this item?), but once you do it really does work. Just takes practice and a little bit of patience.

I'm dissapointed in this product and have to say in Mattel. Do they test these products? My 5 year old son saw the product on TV and wanted it (oh, the power of advertising!), we bought it, and regret it. The set does not come with a car first of all and many of my son's matchbox cars do not fit the launcher. The launcher doesn't even launch. It just drops the darn car! The sound is annoying so don't bother buying batteries either.

Leave this one "on the shelf"!! A "Hotwheels" product which doesn't come with "wheels"!????!!! Who would have thought at $25.00 it doesn't come with a car and then they have the nerve to make it not work with other Hotwheels cars!! This is a very annoying junk toy which was such a disappointment to my son Christmas morning. I would not have been so disatisfied had I shopped on Amazon and got it for the price being offered now--$5.00!!

After reading all the negative reviews, I was hesitant to buy this toy for my son. but he really wanted it, and everytime he saw the commercial he went nuts!! I bought it in September and put it away for Christmas. He talked about this thing almost everyday! Finally on Christmas morning, he discovered that Santa left it for him. It didn't require much assembly, Just sliding ramps onto the croc. Our Crazy Croc works perfectly 7 out of 10 times. It's good for him to see that things don't work exactly the same every time. We have a great time with it. The noises it makes are pretty cool, it burps and laughs and says a few phrases, but thankfully it can be shut off. My 3 1/2 year old LOVES it. The key is to make sure everything is lined up, and to find a car that fits it. We have about 50 different cars, and most of them fit. He has his favorites, and most of them fit. Not every car has to fit, Isn't that the beauty of the world? That everything is different, works different and gives different results for different people? I'm certainly glad we got it!!

My 4 year old son received this toy for his birthday. He was extremely excited after having viewed comercial after comercial for this play set. My children have several of the Hot Wheels and Matchbox play sets and realize that some are better than others. However, DON'T waste your money on this product. Between my children they have about 150 cars. We have yet to find a car that works on this set. The voice stopped working after a few minutes of play. Even if we could get it to work, there isn't that much to do on the set to even make it interesting. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Mattel in releasing such a poor product into the market.

I got this for my grandson (6) who wanted it because of the commercials. As stated by most of the other reviewers, it just doesn't work. Everyone who bought it should be able to get their money back, or Mattel should send each one a free car that will work. It's a piece of junk. The Terrordactyl works very well, but you'd be crazy to buy the crazy croc. Maybe we should all send them back to the Company with out complaints.

I purchased Crazy Croc even after reading all the bad reviews, but my son really wanted it so I bought it for him for Christmas anyway. It was the worst gift i've ever bought....please don't even waste your money....trust me, check the reviews first, now that's worth it....
