We couldn't WAIT to take this toy out of the package! We already own the Fast Tracks toy from Mega Blocks which also has ramps and such - so naturally since we had so much fun with the first one we had to tear into the second! There are so many fun interative elements to this toy - the elevator makes noise as you lift it up, the elevator car-floor spins, and then lifts so you can dump your trucks down the ramp. It also makes fun noises while you lift and lower the elevator. The garage door opens and makes noise as well - it's fun to "park" your truck in the garage. The car wash section makes fun bubbly noises and then a noise that sounds like the dryer that you drive through at the real car wash. When you drive your truck into the elevator, it even makes the classic "ding ding.... ding ding" when you drive up the ramp. The only down side to this toy as with the Fast Tracks toy - is that there just aren't enough ramps. You can only build one full size ramp that goes from the top of the toy to the floor --- major bummer in my book. My son is learning how to lift gently to make the elevator go up, how to spin the elevator car-floor, how to build the cars, how to build the ramps - and he's doing it all by himself - but mommy just HAS to get in there too because it's really a fun toy. Even after he's gone to bed and I'm cleaning up toys, I find myself running the cars down the ramps as I clean! FUN FUN FUN!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Fun, Fun!, March 30, 2005

This review is from: Tiny n' Tuff Garage (Toy)

My son received this as a gift for his second birthday, and he LOVES it. He likes cars and trucks of all kinds, but this is by far his favorite; he is happy to sit and play with it for 20 minutes (or more), which is an eternity for a 2-year-old.

We like it because it has 3 volume levels, plus an "off" setting, and even the loudest level isn't obnoxious. If your little toe touches that garage, it's bound to set off one of the noises, but the sound effects are fun and endurable, even after the millionth hearing.

In spite of its sound effects and movable elevator, this isn't a high-tech toy that plays itself while the child watches. I really like this garage because it encourages pretend play, and when my son is a little older, he'll be able to adjust the ramps himself in various formations. For now, it's fun to watch him start to predict where the cars will go when they slide down ramps, or in and out of the elevator. I wish there were more ramps and ways to configure them, but for a toddler, it's plenty of variety.

We also got the Mega Blocks Fast Track toy (which is nice because we can use some of those ramps and supports to add to the garage), and the Mega Blocks Farm. Both of these are fun, but the garage is the clear favorite in our house.

The set very sturdy and durable, too, even though it gets dragged onto the couch and table and into various rooms. Another big bonus is that it doesn't come with tons of small removable pieces that end up adding to the clutter because you can't remember what pieces go with which toy. I am so happy when I find toys he loves that don't require extensive clean-up or inspire migraines after their use.

I would recommend this toy for cars & trucks afficionados--lots of fun!

My son already has the Mega Bloks wagon so we wanted to get him something he could build upon. He loves to send the car up and down the ramp. I like how it has 3 different sound settings for volume so if it's too loud we can turn it down. My husband likes to move the ramp all around and make the car jump off of it.
