(Cute, fun, great price) 『I bought this for my five-year-old son and Thomas fan. The price was much better than you would find in the store. We've been paying about $15 for the two-car packs. This one is special; it's part of a train car. And the lion actually roars when you push his head down! A big hit; highly recommended.』 『Two cars means two times the fun!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Hot Wheels Dune Devil Pro - Green and White Cars) 『Two years ago I looked at reviews from Amazon and other RC websites regarding the Dune Devil. Most of the remarks were quite good, so I decided I would take the chance and buy one. I bought the white one first and I was extremely impressed with how fast it was for an inexpensive RC. This is the by far the fastest 9.6v rc I've ever seen from Tyco or Nikko for that matter. With high speed comes frequent spectacular crashes, so I soon found out that the suspension and body were extremely durable. My only complaint initially was that it doesn't have enough low end torque to perform wheelies or enough ground clearence for tall grass, but nevertheless, I enjoyed this RC so much that I bought its counterpart for fun with a friend. The green one is a different frequency than the white, which allows you to operate both simultaneously. These cars easily run 20-30 min on a Nicd battery at ~1000-1200mah. The biggest problem I've encountered with one of the cars is that occasionally, the rear differential will will not connect with the gears and the car will not move. After a bit of nursing along with my foot it engages again. I would definitely give these cars a 5 stars if the differential were more solid, but for thirty bucks, what do you expect?』
(Great fun until it died) 『I bought this RC car for my son and I to have fun with. I liked the fact that it was capable of high voltage torque from the optional 9.6V battery pack, plus the option to use regular AA batteries at a more manageable power, 8.4v. The car was great fun for a few months of limited use. However one day the motor was spinning freely with no movement. Luckily i got the car to work afterwords by moving the car manually and getting the gearbox to engage the motor. So we lived with that for a while, but used the car seldom. After a long winter, we brought the car out again. It was working fine for the first minute but it just died. The motor speed slowed to a crawl then stopped responding completely. I changed all of the batteries in the car and controller, and that woke it back up for only 30 seconds, then dead again. I've test all of the voltages; they were fine.
I am a mechanically minded guy, and tried to open the drive unit, but it is not meant to be serviced. Now I have extra batteries and a cool looking dead RC in my garage.
I am very upset.
it was an awesome toy.
-extra note: We were very careful not to abuse the RC, by crashing it or running it while it was wet out.』
(Can't keep the car running) 『After about 5-10 minutes of run time motor and gears dis-engage causing the motors to spin at high speed and vehicle stops. After trying to repair the vehicle multiple times I would not recommend this item.』
(Very pleased) 『For our four year old twin grandson's birthday we purchased a white and green hot wheels and are so delighted with these toys. They far exceeded what we bought from a local store. The boys were so pleased that we ordered another for their brother. These seem durable and go very fast over several varieties of terrain. Amazon's service was terrific in making sure the toys were here for the birthday and in sending the third one to the boys' house in a very timely fashion.』
(Awesome car for the money) 『This thing rocks. I bought it to replace a defective Batmobile for my 3 year old son. He can only go forward and reverse at full speed, but loves it just the same. He's learning how to drive it though, slowly but surely.
I had to put clear tape on the wheels so the thing couldnt get going at full speed in the house and so it could do donuts and stuff. Without the tape, you need to have it outside because it is really fast.
This is no RC10 or nitro rig, but for the price you certainly can not beat it. I found a few extra rechargeable batteries on clearance at TRU, they were like six bucks each. Well, worth the investment.
I would definetly recommend this to anyone who wants an RC car but doesnt wanna spend a lot of money.』 『Extreme speed meets extreme performance with the Dune Devil Pro vehicle from Tyco R/C!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A very good toy, but S&H fees are too high) 『I bought this Cars carry case for my son at a regular toy store a few months ago and he loved it; he is big into Cars (and so are we). We soon bought enough cars to fill it up and then more. When I saw that I could order more online from Amazon, I was very excited, however, one look at the shipping and handling fees ($6.90), which makes up for more than 1/3 of the toy's actual price, and I ruled it out. A shame really. In short, it's a great toy, but the S&H fees are unacceptable. 』
(This carrier is only for the mini cars!!!) 『My mother purchased this carry case to hold my 2 1/2 yr old sons cars. I love the case - well made, easy for him to open and close. BUT be warned that it is designed to hold the mini cars NOT standard matchbox size (1:60) and certainly not the standard CARS cars (1:55). My son was very frustrated when he could not fit the full size cars in the case and we ended up making a trip back to the store for a pack of mini cars. That said, the mini cars are very cute and all filled up with them, this makes a perfect travel toy.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Easy to use!) 『My kids love these. I'm not sure why the company name changed or what. But they are just like the Tomy brand that we bought. The kids did want to get the new track though even though we had tons of the blue tracks. My children have take along, wooden thomas&trackmaster and by far they love the trackmaster the best because they are battery powered. We do go through battries but the kids love it. This was one of the best buys we made.』
(Three-year-old Thomas Fan) 『I had this gift dropshipped to a special little boy in Calif. Reports are that his was delighted. Definately recommend.

(Really cute, easy for little people to build) 『I bought this for my two year old grandson, even though it says for three and up. I figured we'd play with it together. Once I started building the tracks, he started right in putting them together. I got the battery in the train and off we were. I think it's a little over priced, but a really fun toy that we played with for hours. The tracks are very well made and I think the train will hold up well too. There are a few small pieces that don't stay on, like the little signs, so I just put them away, but the tracks, house and train are just fine for this little two year old, who loves his new train set.』
(Excellent starter set, great value, brake did not work) 『This is a very simple train set, excellent value as a starter set if you're unsure if the kid you're getting it for will like trains. If he/she already has other train sets, this is probably too simple for them; its just one loop of track.
I got it for my 4-year old nephew, and he loved it. Like most boys his age, he likes to improvise and hold down the train still or drag it backwards on the track while its motor is trying to propel it forward. Though I cringed at that, the train still continued to run when he let it go. That's a big plus in my book for its durability. However, the manual brake on the track at the 'station' which is supposed to lift the train off the track to keep it from moving did not work. He didn't seem to mind though.
Perhaps the biggest surprise for us all was that my sister's 5-month old daughter was totally enthralled by it. She'd scream each time her cousin held back the train from moving, and hop up and down excitedly while it moved on the track, while trying to reach out to it when it passed her. That sight alone made it a worthwhile buy.
BTW, if you're wondering who 'Thomas' is, you've probably never met a 3-yr-old in a long time.』
(Very durable for a 2-year old) 『Bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son earlier this year. He messed with it, but did not seem to grasp the concept of letting the train run independently on the track. Now that he is only about 6 months older, he is so interested in playing with it. I recently purchased more of the engines that also came equipped with cars and items (sheep, logs) that came with them. He LOVES this now. I can honestly say that he has played with this non-stop now for 3 days. VERY durable. As you can imagine, he is more rough than an older child would be, and the trains keep running. What I love about this train set is that the pieces of the track are very easily snapped together and very easy to disassemble. Works well running on carpet or more solid surfaces. I'm looking forward to adding to this set. Would definitely recommend this item, and all that relate.』 『The perfect starter set. Children have everything they need to create their very own adventures with Thomas and Friends. Thomas rides the rails all around Maithwaite Station. Special switch track, buffer and sign to a new Sodor destination encourages set collectibility. One "AA" battery (not included) required for Thomas engine. Measures 10" x 15" x 2".』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Space Shuttle Starter Toy) 『We bought this toy for our 3 year old son who was asking for a "rocket ship" after watching a recent Shuttle launch. We're happy with this because it's a realistic looking Shuttle that has both the orbiter and the fuel tank/rocket boosters. The orbiter's payload bay doors open. The orbiter and the fuel tank separate and can be put back together relatively easily. It's fairly stable as it sits on the launch pad, however the two gray "stands" that are supposed to hold the orbiter in place do not lock or snap on to the launch pad and fall off when moved. Tape is required to hold them place. The astronauts serve no real purpose other than imaginative play because they do not fit inside the shuttle at all (and are not the appropriate scale).
Overall, it's been an ideal toy for a young child who is curious about the space program and wants a realistic looking shuttle to play with.』
(Expected more quality) 『I expected more quality for the money I paid. The toy looks good. However, the plane falls off from the fuel tank too easily. One of the three wheels that the plane has broke in the first hour of playing and the wheels are hard to manipulate for little fingers, the two posts that hold the shuttle do not firmly attach to the base.』
(Can be a little closer to reality) 『Overall, my two boys love it. But the launch pad does not resemble the real deal at all and the two booster rockets do not separate from the fuel tank. The latter makes playing the lift-off sequence less fun. Also, the color of the fuel tank is too bright compared to real life. Overall, a fun toy for small kids.』
(space shuttle) 『my son loves it, it's not super dynamic but for the price I paid for it, I am surely happy about it, as my boy played with it for a straight week and still likes it a lot.』
(Space Shuttle With External Tank and Booster Rockets) 『Found all sorts of shuttles that did not have the external tank nor booster rockets.
They were specific criteria my child asked for, so when I found this one on Amazon, I was surprised.
Comes with a couple of astronauts, and the tanks are detachable. Sits on a realistic launch pad/crawler.
Great toy, great value- made my kids birthday!!!!』 『Youngsters can simulate their own space shuttle blast-off with this deluxe playset! Our best selling Launch Complex 39 has been improved!』

(Good suff, just like all the other Thomas trains) 『My 2 year old and 4 year old LOVE Thomas stuff and this train is no exception.
My only negative is that if kids really beat on them, drop them on the floor, scrape them etc (which kids tend to do) the paint chips of a little. But they're made with real wood, so I guess that's to be expected.』
(Duck the Great Western engine) 『If your child enjoys acting out the Thomas&Friends episodes, Duck is one of the more sensible engines. He is a big green tank engine with the GWR logo on the sides. He stands no nonsense from the engines and freight cars who try to boss him around, and does things his own way--the Great Western way. Unfortunately, sometimes the freight cars get the best of him, especially when they make him crash through a barber shop in "A Close Shave For Duck."
If you could use a sensible engine in your layout, then Duck is for you. Don't worry if he's accident-prone, though. You could always get an engine that will tow him back into place. Then, Duck will be ready to work the Great Western way again.』
(One of the old standby's...) 『If you have the Thomas series wooden railway series, then by all means, be sure you get Duck. He's just one of the older trains, and is almost in each and every video. He doesn't usually have a large role, but he's a kind and good friend to all the engines. This guy gets taken to bed in our house and also, everywhere we go. It's pretty funny listening to all the role playing going on in the carseat with this guy and hey, he can even dance to the Wiggles! These trains definitely develop imagination and fine motor skills, but they also become friends. These wooden guys are VERY durable too. They don't chip like you'd think they would when dropped onto the floor. We plan on keeping our wooden train series and interconnecting them with a "real" train set when our little one gets older. Also, don't forget to check out the HO series of Thomas here on amazon. I didn't know they existed and what a neat way to introduce your little one to the fascinating world of trains. Something they can definitely grow up with and use for quite some time. Highly recommend Duck!』
(A great addition to your set) 『This toy is really durable. My sister threw it down our stairs a buch of times and it didn't even get a scratch. This is well worth the money and a great addition to anyone's collection.』 『Duck is a small pannier tank engine from the Great Western Railway and is painted in Great Western green. He has a strong work ethic and makes friends easily. Duck was given the number 8 on arrival to Sir Topham Hatt's railway and he works efficiently as part of the fleet. Duck received his name because they say he "waddles along the tracks", his real name is Montague.
He is a cheerful, busy tank engine who stands for no nonsense whatsoever from larger engines who try to order him about. Duck's work in the yard merited him with the chance to run his own branch line (The Little Western) on the Arlesburgh line carrying both ballast and passengers. He works this line with Donald, Douglas and Oliver and he has two coaches: Alice and Mirabel.』 『This bright green toy will bring a smile to any little train fan's face. Based on the award-winning PBS television seriesShining Time Stationby the Rev. W. Awdry, the Thomas the Tank train set is a perfect child's train set. Duck's job is setting cars in the yard and pulling small freight. Each wooden vehicle in the series has a different name, character, and face. Magnetic bumpers make linking up easy. Friendly characters engage kids in hours of imaginary play. Designed to encourage new motor and cognitive skills.--Sandy Hirsch』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Rubber tread issue) 『My 4 year old is in his "heavy equipment" phase, and so I went ahead and bought the Tonka bulldozer for his birthday. I thought it was a tad expensive, but put out the money because I knew he'd love it, and assumed Tonka put out a quality product. Well its true that my son loves playing with it, but the rubber tread on the dozer wheels keeps slipping off and has to be constantly put on. I don't think it is worth the money its priced at, and would shop around to find a similar product for a cheaper price.』

(Tonka Review) 『Product is a vintage high-quality Tonka design. It is missing much of the cheap plastic and push-button sound effects some common with toys today. It allows use of the inagination.』
(Thought it would be a great toy for grandson) 『I thought this would be a great toy for our 3 year old grandson. As I watched him trying to play with it, I was wishing I had gotten something else. If you want a push type toy, this isn't one for that. He's still into running and pushing bigger vehicles. This one isn't tall enough. Then he tried moving the blade up and down and that proved to be rather hard and doesn't move much when it does move. Later we took it to the park so he could play in the sand with it. The rubber tracks kept coming off. He finally got so frustrated with that, he went to play with something else. I kept thinking about how much I had paid for this toy that had turned into such a disappointing experience for him and myself. If I had know about these things before I purchased it, I would have gone with something else.』
