The colors are vibrant and I like not having to worry about high lead levels in the paint.』 『Save the day and jumpstart kids' imaginations with thisset of wooden rescue vehicles. Hand painted, solid wood vehicles are a great accessory for block play, and are compatible with wooden railway sets. Measures 10" x 10" x 1.5". Includes nine vehicles.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Remote Control does not work) 『We bought this toy for our son but one of the remote controls does not work. I can't see how other people say say this toy is durable. We're not happy with the purchase. We're writing to the company that sold it to us to try to get another remote control.』
(fun time) 『These cars were bought for young adults, in their early 20's, and they had such a blast with them. I was quite pleased to see they were bigger than I thought and they are very durable. It is fun to listen and see the driver go flying. I think it was well worth the price.』
(Great fun! Durable, a bit tricky for little ones to manuever, but they still have fun.) 『This toy turned out to be a family favorite, everyone had fun with it. The controls are a bit tricky for the youngest to maneuver (under 7 yrs of age), but they still had fun with it. Once the button on the side of the bumper car is "bumped" the rider flies out with a little "eeeeeek" sound - the kids loved it. Does need lots of batteries and since the kids played with it non-stop the batteries needed replaced several times during the day. Chargeable batteries would be a good idea for this toy. Definitely a winner. Thinking seriously of getting a second set so four kids (and adults) can play at the same time. Does require some hand-eye coordination (educational part), but just plain fun for all ages.』 『Run into your opponent's side panels and watch his driver eject into the air! Futuristic car design includes real working power fans and full 360 degree maneuverability. Set includes 2 controllers, 2 cars, and 2 drivers. 4 frequency options allow for use of additional set. 30' range. Requires 10 "AAA" batteries 5 per car..

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Broke within few minutes) 『Nice tractor if you want to display it on the shelf. But - if you want it for your kids to play with, stay away. The plastic parts {front wheels, side mirrors} are so fragile they broke few minutes after taking it out of the box. And my son was only playing with it in the stroller, so there was no dropping or throwing it down the stairs. Would be a nice toy if it was more durable.』 『Vroom! Tractor brings fast-paced, free-wheeling fun to playtime from your little speedster's favorite movie ''Cars.'' Imported.. Finely-detailed die cast metal. 3 1/4'' L. Ages 3+.

I bought this bridge online (not from amazon.com) and the description said that it didn't come with ascending tracks, so I bought ascending tracks separately. Well, it turns out that the bridge actually *did* come with a pair of ascending tracks! Also, I bought a male-to-male connector separately because I thought that the 2 bridge pieces could not connect directly to one another, to form one long bridge - once I got the bridge, though, I found that you *can* actually connect the 2 bridge pieces together without using a separate connector..all you have to do is remove one of the supporting blocks (underneath the track) from one of the bridge ends. Each bridge has removable supporting blocks on both ends, so there's a ton of configurations you can come up with. If you have ascending track risers (which do *not* come with the bridge), you can connect the bridges with regular straight track<- if you do this, you can also put track underneath the connecting straight track so that trains can go underneath the bridge without any clearance problems. So many possibilities with this bridge... Not only that, but the bridge is very sturdy, very well-built. This bridge was such a great buy for me and my son!』
(Nice Bridge but Needed Fixing upon Arrival) 『This is a nice looking sturdy bridge that my son enjoys playing with. My only complaint is that I needed to repair it out of the box. One of the wooden supports was not fixed to the bridge properly - had to glue it myself. Minor issue but something that should not happen when paying a higher price for the Thomas brand.』
(great bridge) 『my 2yo twin boys are in love with this double-span bridge, which comes with 2 ascending tracks. the only caveat i have is that the two bridge pieces don't connect to each other (you need a male-male connector to do so, and that isn't included), and combined, the bridge&ascending track combo is too long for our nilo train table. so we just use the one track, or configure the tracks so that there's a bridge in 2 separate areas. otherwise the bridge is great - very durable and my boys love it.』
(Fun and sturdy bridge) 『I have three boys ages 12,6,and 2 and a half. All three boys enjoy playing together with there many Thomas pieces. This bridge stays together and can be used as a small bridge or both pieces as a large bridge without the two year old knocking it down easily. It makes building a more complicated track fun for the 12 year old without his younger brothers messing it up. A great addition to any set.』
(The greatest Thomas piece) 『We have tons of Thomas wooden railway pieces. I can tell you that this is the one we use in every layout we build. It adds height ands is easy to fit into your layout. Sturdy and colorful too. I like to use it with the arched viaduct for a sturdy raised track that doesnt fall over.』 『The Sodor Bay Bridge lets Thomas and his friends cross large bodies of water! Can be used as a single or double span bridge.』 『Frighteningly high above a deep ravine, Thomas the Tank Engine peers over the edge, wondering how he will get to the station on time. He's saved only by the immediate construction of a bridge that gets him clickity-clacking across in no time. The Reverend W. Awdry created the Island of Sodor as a place for childhood imagination to run free with hisThomas the Tank Engineseries of books. The Sodor Bay Bridge expands opportunities for dreaming and connects to any of the tracks from the Thomas Wooden Railway System. Two train trestle bridges connect to span 25 inches. Manufactured by high-quality toy maker Learning Curve, the bridge is sturdily made of wood with blue plastic supports to endure years of adventurous play.--Lynne Sampson』

(Great toy for small boys) 『My son loves trucks. He loves being able to take apart the tractors and trailers. He didn't want the carrying case for a while but was having a difficult time carrying all six at one time. I suggested that he put the trucks in their "garage" to carry the trucks. Since then, the set has been inseparable.

(Haven't seen my kid in hours!) 『My mother bought this for my 3 year old son for christmas. He is totally in love. he was begging me for 2 days to put it together and i haven't seen him since I set it up! It took me almost an hour to put it all together though. The space stations all have screws in them to keep them from falling apart when the kids play with it. Im thankful I don't have to put that together a hundred times! The track looks sturdy and the glowing feature is really neat. My only complaint is that we have a train table from Target and the space play-board is about half an inch to long for his table. Without the space board the set fits perfectly on the table. So my husband has to figure out how to trim the space board to fit the table now. Other then that no problems at all! I would highly recommend it.』 『KidKraft 100 - piece Glow - in - the - Dark Space Train Set. For exciting deep - space adventures!

Manhattan Toy
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Too expensive, not versatile enough) 『We bought two automoblox for our daughter, 5, the full sized blue sedan and green pickup truck.
We found them much less versatile than advertised -- with $65 worth of cars you can build one version of a stretch sedan. Not very interesting. Also they are much harder to "rebuild" than it appears -- a circle/square/star/triangle locking system means that a) you can't reverse the pieces, and b) you have to remove the connector from one, maybe two ends, before you can connect them. You can put the pieces together upside down -- but then the car doesn't roll (wouldn't it be cool if you could convert them from "high riders" to "low riders"?). The connectors have a squeeze piece that 5 year old hands can't manipulate so she can't do it herself. We didn't find that this provided (as the instructions said) "a welcome level of complexity". Also the people in the car each fit into exactly one location -- their bottoms are round/square/star/triangle.
I'm afraid this is one of those toys that appeals to adults but doesn't work out for kids. We've gotten a lot more use out of two 1:18 scale love bug cars that were about $10.

(Love Automoblox (but pricey)) 『This was one of the first Automoblox cars I purchased. The others were a Blue Sedan and a Green Truck.
The fit and finish is very nice. he wooden body is nicely detailed with grooves and small decals for the brand, logo, and car model.
I like that the parts are interchangeable which promotes creativity.
』
(Excellent "Model" Car For Young Ones) 『We gave this car to my 3 yr. old for his birthday - Best Present Ever! It's sturdy and well designed a great model/puzzle car for young kids. We will add to his collection. Nice toy!』
(Great Keepsake and toy) 『See my review for the sedan and truck. Great toy for children and a great collectible. I love the wooden toys and have bought three for my son. Will be buying more in the future.』
(Great cars!) 『My kids got 6 different Automoblox (regular size, not minis) for Christmas last year. They still play with them 2-3x a week, a year later. They are now 3.5 yrs (boy) and 5.5 yrs (girl). They are asking Santa for the new ones this year. They are one of the first toys the neighbor kids go for when they come over too. Even my husband and I enjoy playing with these with the kids. They are still in great shape and look nearly new. My son likes to push the car around but presses it down and we've been worried about the axles snapping as he does this, but after a year of that they are holding up just fine! I'm impressed with the quality of these, they are well worth the price.』 『Take off on an adventure of learning, building and playing with this modular marvel of engineering.

(Mac got Tacked) 『As far as fun goes, My son Loves it. Quality on the other had is a different story. Mac's trailer pin broke after two minutes of play time.
I had to find a bigger screw to replace the tiny one that just pulled through the plastic on Mac's trailer. I can't really complain about the little rollers in Mac, afterall if a kid can find a way to break little plastic parts he will.
All in all, it gets played with every day.』
(Great Fun!) 『My 3 year old is a fan of the Cars movie. He absolutely loved getting this for Christmas 08'. He has a lot of fun with it, plays with it every day, and even insisted on sleeping with it a few times.
The only thing I am not fond of, neither is he, is that opening Mack is very difficult. But, he usually asks someone else to open it, it was just really frustrating for him for a time.』
(Not Impressed) 『I purchased this item for my 3.5 year old for Christmas. First it is very difficult to open. You have to put pressure on it and pull it open. My son pinched his hand closed in it and I had to put pressure on it to separate it enough for him to remove his skin from it. Within minutes one of the spare tires had come loose (not good since we have a 1 year old running around). A few minutes later the tool box came unglued and fell out. Later in the day one of the shower parts popped off. Overall I would not suggest this toy. I really wish I would have gotten the Mac hauler or some other Mac toy. This one is not impressive at all!』
(Our 3 year old loves it!) 『Our three year old son received Mack from his uncle for his birthday. He loves it! He plays with it every day. He and his twin sister put Lightning McQueen in the back and pretend to wash him, brush his teeth and get him oil from the refrigerator. I liked that this 2008 model comes with Lightning McQueen instead of having to purchase him separately. I would agree with some of the reviews from the older model that the plastic does seem a little cheap and flimsy in some of the smaller parts. But, so far it has held up to daily play by two three year olds without breaking.』 『All the fun and adventure of the hit Disney/Pixar movie CARS is folded up into this playset. Mac the Truck has a few surprises hidden inside his trailer -- just unfold it to reveal a complete car wash and tune-up shop ready to open for hours of fun. Drive up the ramp, pump the working lift and get down to some serious repair work with this fun truck. Includes one Lightning McQueen die-cast vehicle. Measures approximately 16"L x 9"W x 3"H.』

(My 2 year old loves it) 『When it comes to Thomas and Friends, wooden vehicles are the way to go. The plastic ones are easily destroyed by my boys and the metal ones are too small for regular track.』
(Great train.) 『My son is a huge fan of Thomas and this train is a favorite of his...he loves the sounds and light. It sounds with motion, so as he pushes it along the tracks it makes the engine noise. Durable and not too loud which is a bonus for me!』 『
This deluxe version brings Thomas to life like never before! Hear his famous whistle and see his working headlight. The faster you push him, the faster his chugging sounds!
