2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 3, 2004

This review is from: Take Along Thomas & Friends - Work & Play Roundhouse (Toy)

I bought this and 5 vehicles for my 3-yr-old. I was frustrated and disappointed with the quality of the flimsy cheap track and the way the track fits together. It just seems cheap (the track) and getting the track to store as it should underneath the lid is something a younger child will NOT master. (I even have to play around with the track a bit to get it to work so the lid/roof shuts!) Booo! Stick to the real stuff.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Crap, January 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Take Along Thomas & Friends - Work & Play Roundhouse (Toy)

Stay with the wooden trains, this set is crap. The trains get stuck in the little doors all the time, as well as toddler hands on occasion (seriously). The catches on the doors wear out quickly so they won't close (which is frustrating to little engineers). The tracks take more coordination to assemble than little hands can muster. I hate this toy, but the trains themselves are nice. All and all the wooden Thomas trains are much better. They are easier for little hands to control and the tracks can be assembled in different ways to keep the toy fresh.

3.0 out of 5 stars My kids love it - I don't, January 6, 2007

My boys love all things Thomas, so in their case this is a great toy. My major complaint is the fact that it is not so easy to "take along". The track storage compartment at the top is not very big and if you don't fit the tracks in perfectly, the lid just doesn't close. Not a very convenient take along toy and the tracks are always scattered about the house. I agree with other reviewers - the wooden tracks are much better - I would rather take enough of those along to make a simple track than this toy.
