This review is from: Hot Wheels Trick Tracks Blast Launch Stunt Set (Toy)
This is one of the most poorly designed Hot Wheels toys I've ever used with my 5 year old son. On its own, all it does is launch a car, which then triggers a robot to turn and launch a second car. Whee. However, the trigger to get the robot to turn and launch is really finicky - so most of the time you can only get him to turn, but not actually launch the second car.
If you're using this with other tracks or stunts, it really sucks. The car has to be travelling relatively slowly and have a blunt end to trigger the stunt. Then, as above, the robot usually misfires. Worse, even if it does fire, it's relatively low-powered so that you can't really use it to go on to the next stunt.
Yes, this is a lot of info for a stupid toy - but your kid will be super excited at the idea of car-launching robot, and then after you've opened it and can't return it, you'll realize it stinks. You can thank me later.

Just got this for my daughter to connect to her other trick tracks and it works very reliably. We've only experienced one misfire and in that case it overshot.
