Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (fun, but not great) 『My son, 9, loves science and has been having fun making these (with some adult help), but so far, the fun has been in making them; he does not like the candy enough to eat it after he eats it.』
(Tastes TERRIBLE !!) 『After two separate attempts at making sour candy that was actually edible, we've given up on this toy. Both times, I worked along side my son and made sure the instructions were followed exactly. Once the citric acid and flavoring were added to the sugar/corn syrup mixture, it began to smell, fizzle and bubble. After the (miniscule) molds were filled, we tried it. It tasted horrible! One lick and we threw the rest away. It's not that it was sour - we could have handled that. It was that it had no flavor whatsoever that resembled the added flavoring; instead, it tasted awful. Extremely bitter, acidic, not sweet in the slightest. I used a candy thermometer and removed it promptly when it hit 300F, or crack stage. It's as if the citric acid had a reaction with the sugar mixture and completely ruined any good taste it may have had.
My son saved his allowance for this toy. What a huge disappointment.
There was nothing in this box that you probably don't have at home (except citric acid). I recommend following any candy recipe you get online or in a cookbook instead of this product. Candy molds are very inexpensive to buy. You'd spend less than you would on this product and have a more satisfying experience!
I gave it 3 stars on educational value because my son learned two TBSP = 1/8 cup. The recipe actually says to add 1/8cup water...I've never seen 1/8 cup called for in a recipe! We had to look it up to find it's the same as two TBSP...which was a learning moment. Other than that - a big waste of time and money.』
(toy the teaches scientific skills while being tasty) 『Daughter begged for this product because she had had several other kits similar to it and she loves sour candy. She did make some sour gel on Christmas Day but has yet to make anything else. I did take te time to look at the recomemnded activites and did see hat the projects do teach scientific process and measurment skills. Might take it to school and make some sour candy with my first graders.』
(It was really easy to understand and work with) 『I found the product to be very educational and fun at the same time. It was interesting to see just how easy it is to make different types of sour candy. The kids want to try more of the items from this company.』
(Sour Candy Factory) 『I purchased Sour Candy Factory for my 11 year old grand daughter. On Christmas Day after all the presents were open, she and her two cousins were excited to make some sour candy. It was the biggest disaster, was entirely unsuitable for any age child, made a big mess, and the molds were so tiny as to be completely useless - the hot, sticky mess ran all over the couter. The toy is not only unsuitable but very dangerous and to be marketed as a fun toy is utterly misleading and untrue. It is a horrible product that was aimed at children who requested it based on the promise of being able to make sour candy.』 『
Get ready to pucker up when you make your own sour candy. How sour can you go? This kit includes everything you need to make sour liquid candy, hard candy, powder candy, lollipops and more!
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (weel made) 『My 4 year old is a cars freak and enjoy this alot at first but there seems to be limited appealed to this toy. But it well made.』
(Ack! No replacement cars!) 『We got this for my son's first birthday because he loves to drop things and roll cars. It was great until my nephew came over this weekend. Gulp! I keep hoping he hid them here and didn't take them home in his pockets where they would be lost forever. I can't find the cars and apparently there are NO REPLACEMENT PARTS. Hot Wheels don't roll past the first curve... so at the moment we have a toy that doesn't function since there are no cars that work on it.
I would give it 4 stars if we could still play with it.』
(Does not work with original Cars) 『My 2 year old son is a huge Cars fan (Lightning McQueen, etc...), so we've been building his collection of Cars. We received this as a gift and were excited to open it, but quickly disappointed when we realized that it would not work with the original Cars that we have been collecting (the kind you can buy at most stores that say "The World of Cars" on the package).
So, one star for this product. Feels like false advertising to be Cars branded, but then only to work with the two mini-cars that are provided (mini-Lightning and mini-The King).
Seems like the company could have designed it to be a little bigger with slightly wider tracks and then all of the original Cars would be able to work on it.
By the way, in our experience, we tried some Matchbox cars on it, and they tended to be too long for the track and got stuck.』
(Good toy for the price.) 『I purchased this toy for my 2 year old son who LOVES the movie Cars. It's the perfect size for him to carry around, it's got a nice carrying handle. I have found that regular hotwheels or matchbox cars tend to move slowly and get stuck on the way down and the regular die cast Pixar Cars are just to darn big to use. The perfect cars to use (even better then the ones that come with Raceway) are from the Pixar Cars Mini Adventure series. I am very happy with this toy - not too expensive and has kept my son's attention for more then 5 minutes!』
(Great Buy!) 『I ordered this for my sons 2nd birthday! He loves it and my husband and himenjoy trying different hot wheels to see which one is the fastest! I even enjoy playing with it! Great toy!』 『Lightning McQueen and the King are back racing again! This time you get to be the one at the starting gate. Flip it up or down to hear cool racing sounds and phrases from the cars before they hug those curves on their way to the finish, in side-by-side racing action. Lightning and King store in the base. Other die-cast cars, sold separately, also fit on the Spiral Speedway. Features an easy-carry handle. Requires two "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 8.5"L x 15"W x 15.5"H.』

I like that the trailer is open sided, helps toddlers learn control when plling his truck around. Works will with his other Plan City toys. Small enough to take to restaurants, doctor's offices, and any other place where you need a few small toys. The first "E-Zero" company, Plan Toys makes their toys out of recycled rubberwood, and vegi dyes. I love a company that is both child and eco-friendly.』
(VERY TINY) 『I had purchased this and the taxi/police car set for my nephew for Christmas thinking, from the pictures, that this was much larger! I was extremely disappointed, so much so that I did not give it to my nephew. Unfortunately, with the shipping costs, it's not worth returning either, so I'm just stuck. Nice.』
(Great toy if it weren't for two key issues...) 『I bought this to go with the parking garage. He absolutely loves the garage. There are two frustrating issues with this car transporter. #1 - it comes unhitches very easily #2 - the back gate does not stay up
Between those two frustrations, my son is very un-nerved by the toy. However, it's really cute how the cars fit on it and he seems to really like the concept. I thought ours was defective, but it seems others have the same issue with the back gate. I would expect for $13+ dollars for the details to be worked out. I am going to return it.』
(Great toy) 『It is a nice addition to my 2 year old's wooden car selection. I like how open ended and sturdy they are. He is two and gets really frustrated that the truck and bed comes off so easily. They are connected by one little parts and come apart very easily when the child is not careful. I think older he gets, the easier it would be to play with this particular truck.』
(Fun toy, but very small) 『When we got this, I was suprised by how small it was. It is part of the Plan City, so I guess it's proportional. Having said that, my son (2 1/2) loved it. He wanted to sleep with it every night. He did get a little frusterated because the back gate doesn't stay up. Also, he took all of the little black wheels off. That could be a choking hazard for little ones.』 『This set will give children hours of fun. The cars can be loaded and unloaded one by one around Plan City. It is compatible with both Plan City rail and Road Systems. Product number: 60430. Recommended Age: 3 years and up. Manufacturer: Plan Toys』

』
(Love at first sight) 『I was looking for a car-type-of-thing for my 1 year son. Most are for older kids but this one wasn't so I got it for him. He actually quite enjoys the noises it makes. He quickly discarded the driver and "trash" that actually looks like doggy poopy. He plays with it everyday so I think it's a winner. Not very educational but entertaining.』
(A solid toy with the right features.) 『Lets make this simple as we are just talking about a toy dump truck. This is a solid build toy that should be able to handle much your child's rough play indoors and out. This includes the wheels and the dumping mechanism. The singing driver is a little bonus, if not slightly annoying for the grown ups, that has one of those triggers that the toddlers can't really break. While the driver is not poseable it is detachable for some action figure fun. Oh.. and don't worry about choking as the action (or inaction) figure isn't easy to swallow.
The one thing I found unnecessary and kinda annoying is the "payload" that the dump truck comes with. It's just a hollowed out lump of what looks like is supposed to be a pile of dirt and debris. It's not even a round lump of plastic to roll around. It doesn't even fit into the loader that well. If there is any part of the toy that could be lost forever with the kid not ever missing it this is it.
All in all this is a great wheeled toy that will give your kids some quality fun time without breaking down on the rough play. It would be a more perfect toy if more thought was put into all of the accessories.』
(fun) 『My son (9months old) LPOVES this little dump truck. He has played with it a lot and it seems perfect for his age. It seems to be very safe and the music and sounds are a very reasonable level so as not to drive me crazy. I am really pleased with our choice and plan to buy more of the little people vehicles to go with it.』
(My 3-year-old loves it) 『He loves it, I think it's pretty good. It sings a little dump truck song that I find annoying but he likes a lot. It's not too loud, which is nice. It also makes some truck noises. It has a plastic dirt pile in the back which is weird; it's just molded plastic that looks like dirt. My son basically took it out and got rid of it. He finds other things to put in the truck that are more interesting. He really, really likes this truck.』 『In and out, in and out - that's what dump trucks are all about! Kids will have heaps of fun loading and unloading "dirt" with this Lil' Movers Dump Truck. They'll also discover how to "make things happen," like fun sounds and wiggly-wobbly action. Truck comes with a song that will help them learn about the "ins" and "outs" on how a real dump truck works. Includes truck, driver and pretend dirt.』

There is a button on top of the caboose that you push to activate the sound. The full song plays before it stops. It is a nice volume and adds some fun to the wooden railway cars.』
(Fun!) 『This musical caboose is fun for my son and works well. It's his second favorite piece in the set.』
(Musical Caboose) 『We love this toy. All the Thomas trains are great. This one plays the Thomas theme song. The kids love to push the button and make it play over and over. It's not too loud. Great toy』
(My Grandchildren both loved the Musical Caboose) 『After buying a Thomas&Friends Musical Caboose along with a couple of train sets, I quickly found out that I needed to find more musical cars and engines to keep my grandson and granddaughter from fighting over the Musical Caboose.』 『
Little engineers can now enjoy playing the Thomas&Friends theme song while recreating their favorite stories.. When you push the button, the Thomas&Friends theme song plays and the interior light shines! Requires two button cell batteries (included).

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (just for fun) 『any child will love this toy, great to play with or just to collect and admire on a self and keep forever』 『New for 2009! Finally, the kids can drive all their friends to school on their very own classic free wheeling monster-truck style school bus. This fantastic die cast yellow school bus is much larger than the usual school bus. This school bus measures 8.5" long and features big monster truck wheels too! Children absolutely love it. This large school bus features great accurate detailing for the most realistic pretend play, including a back door that can open, a pull out stop sign which extends just like the real thing, oversized wheels, a working suspension. Made from heavy gauge die-cast steel and plastic. Compare the size of this 8.5" school bus with a smaller 4" school bus (last picture). Ages 3&up.』

The only complaint I have is that the battery powered trains always needed a boost to get up the big climbs which was a bit of a nuisance. Still it is well made and well worth the money.』
(this pack lets us make some nice configurations, we really enjoy it) 『My son and I have gotten a lot of really good use out of this expansion pack. I bought it to be used with the Sodor Bridge (we LOVE this bridge!), and this pack was a good choice. We don't use a train table, so we're not limited by a table's surface area. We just use the floor! We're able to cover a lot of length and get some nice elevation with the tracks in this pack, so it's a good value, but I do agree with the reviewer that said that this pack needs more risers (ideally, it would come with a couple more pairs of risers). Still, it's a good value, and provides a lot of fun!』
(Great addition) 『We started with a basic generic wooden train set and have been adding accessories over time. This is one of the better ones we have bought. I was going to just get the stacking risers but this a a better value for your money. When building your layout though, I would start with this piece and build off from it to better incorporate it.』
(The best railway toy ever) 『My kids (4 years and 2 years old) love playing this toy. We bought the Thomas traing engine with the basic wood railway and now we are lovers of this toy. Really easy to use, durable and funny to play. This expansion pack adds great high ways and tunnels to the railway.』
(not enough parts) 『This set would be nice if it came with more risers. Immediately, I had to run out to purchase more risers to create the elevated levels. It is fine on a train table if you have enough curves and risers to keep it going. We also have the Nilo table that allows you to cantilever the track off the edge of the table, but being that my son is only 2 1/2, that's a concept better saved for next year. You probably need at least 4 additional risers b/c you need to have a riser at each track link for support. I ended up running out the same day for risers, which I could only find Brio, which are slightly shorter than the Thomas risers and creates some instability. You're only limited by your creativity and when you come up with a new idea, unfortunately, it also means purchasing more track parts.』 『
Thomas&Friends travel up and down, over and under as little engineers add elevation and challenge to layouts with this deluxe expansion pack. Includes 13 pieces of track, 1 riser and a Builder's Guide that's filled with exciting layout ideas.
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Uncle Milton Remote Control Tarantula) 『It was already broken when it arrived. The battery coil was disconnected so you were unable to use it because the battery was unable to connect to produce power. Thankfully, we have handy people here. It was a christmas present. Two legs fell off recently. Don't waste your money. I will be using it as a halloween decoration.』
(toy review) 『This is a wonderful toy for children and I would recomend it to anyone who loves pranks or bugs of an arachnid type. It is great for studying the tarantula anatomy.』
(Tara the Tarantula is a winner) 『Tara the Tarantula provided loads of fun for my husband, who is an entomologist. Seems to be anatomically correct too! My cat, who is too sophisticated to play with most toys, suckered for it too -- at first recoiling, then chasing it!』
(Amusing for a while) 『I got this as a gift for Christmas, because I love spiders and Halloween. I had high hopes for this toy. I am disappointed that it does not work on any carpeted surfaces, and I have found that the spider reaction time is pretty slow. I find it to be poor engineering that the spider uses one size battery and the remote uses a different size battery. Still, it will amuse me for a while, and it occupies my cat here and there.
』
(Fun on hard, flat surfaces.) 『This guy is a real blast when he unexpectedly crawls out from under a chair, but watch out lest he get stomped by someone in fear, ha ha. So he only works on hard surfaces that are relatively flat. He appears most realistic if you paint over his light up eyes with thick black paint and control him using repeated short pushes on the buttons on the remote control.』 『
It's RC Tarantula! Watch it crawl with real spider-like movement. Its furry texture makes it seem like the real thing! Use the unique spider egg remote control to send RC Tarantula scurrying across any smooth, flat surface. Go ahead, scare your friends and family! Ages 6 and up with Adult assistance recommended.

I got him the Bruder truck which is too big for now, and the Matchbox brand truck, which is perfect for him at age 3.5. These go with the Bruder garbage truck, but I went ahead and let him play with them. He LOVES them. Yes, they are way overpriced for what you get. Decent quality, but should be half the price. However, I haven't seen any similar ones elsewhere, and mine loves to play "trash pick-up" with them. We even made some trash out of foil, etc.!』
(Very pleased) 『My grandson has enjoyed these small versions of garbage cans for hours. They are durable. He has a toy garbage truck with its own garbage can already, but the extra cans really are nice to have!』
(Great to go with Bruder Garbage truck) 『They are made of cheap plastic but still have been a great toy to go with our garbage truck. I would recommend.』
(Fun addition bit pricey) 『If you have a garbage truck from Bruder they hook right up and they are a fun addition. They allow "more stops" and more trash to be loaded. The bigger silver dumpster doesn't work with the side loader ( model 2763) which my son has. It may work with a Bruder rear loader which we do not own. The Silver dumpster is fun though for him to load up. If you look at dumpsters in Germany, they Silver model is something you may see on the streets but not in the US, however it holds trash and if your Son or Daughter likes playing with the trucks, it doesn't mater at all. The tall cans are the same as you may have already received from buying another Bruder truck. Overall they seem a bit pricey for what you get but thats what they cost and there are no others. Not disappointed at all, quality plastic and fun for the kid but you just know they could cost less.』 『Garbage Trash Bin Set (3 small and 1 big) for use with MB Actros (02660 and 02661) garbage trucks.
