I purchased this for my 5 year old three months ago after the Shark Attack megarig was such a hit. Overall the megarig line of toys are entertaining and creative. My son loves his legos so this toy, which he pretty much puts together like so, has become one of his favorite quiet time activities. The fun of it is that there are so many creative ways of putting the toy together that everyday he can make a different looking one. Just last week we got him the firetruck megarig for valentine's and he loves that one too. All the megarigs are interchangeable, so all the pieces fit onto each other. The pieces are sturdy and take a beating, this construction megarig has a wrecking ball with sound effects. My older nephews seem to enjoy the line of toys as well, so it'll grow with your child.

My 3 year old son got this for his 3rd birthday. He loves playing "demolition site." This toy can be configured to make many different vehicles. He can take it apart and put the pieces together. It has been good for his creative skills to come up with different vehicles. The smashing sound of the wrecking ball is not too loud or obnoxious.
The best things about this toy are that it is extremely durable and it encourages creative play.
It can be used with other Mega Rig sets also. I can imagine that the creative possibilities will more than double with 2 second Mega Rig.

I bought this for my 3 year old's birthday gift even though the manufacturer's age is 4 (I think). He has had no problem assembling it once he was shown how. It is like have many toys in one since you can assemble it into several construction trucks or one giant one as in the picture. He begged for a wrecking ball from Santa and this was all I could find for sale and it's far exceeded our expectations as far as a toy goes. Great for any kid who loves to build and loves construction. The fact that the ball even makes the crashing sound is perfect too.
