Vehicle Reviews

12 - 15 Years ago Turtles were very popular toys... It is Great to see them come back on the shelf and available. After ordering I recieved the product quickly in GOOD condition. This toy appears that it should only be played by those who can safely use action figures that have small parts.

This is a very interesting toy. It can be fun for all ages, but maybe a little dangerous for the smaller ones. A highlight of this toy is the "can-rocket" that shoots out of the front of the bike. I would recomment this toy to any Die-Hard ninja turtles fan.

We bought this item earlier today for my son and for some reason thinking that at another store that same day we would actually find the action figures that fit on it. Boy was that a joke.....everyone is SOLD OUT...........except for oh wait one sec and let me get my order in LOL! Anyway my son loves the thing that shoots out the front and cannot wait to get an action figure and all the other fun stuff!

My son received this last year for Christmas (age 6). This Crane / Sodor Cargo set is a great add-on to any existing set. I could only recommend before purcahsing these larger peices, to consider the purchase of additional curves and straight aways. You will notice your child wanting to lay track and then adding to it these larger pieces.

The cargo crane is a great addition to the Thomas tracks. It has double tracks so two layouts may be set up to run through it, and it comes with a cargo car and block with a magnet. The crane can move sideways and the magnet can be raised up and down. My son enjoys removing the block from the cargo car with the crane's magnet. This is a fine addition to the Thomas system. It is strongly built so it can take hours of play. Your children will surely enjoy this fine toy.

My son received this for Christmas a year ago. It is still his favorite part of his train set. He is currently 4.5 years old. We purchased additional blocks (with magnets) so that he would have more cargo to move than what came with the original.

We have over 300 pieces of both Brio and Learning Curve tracks, and I cannot tell the difference in sturdiness. The only tell-tale difference is that Brio has no carve marks in the tracks, but it doesn't make it any different. My son is almost 7 and has been playing with his wooden train set for 4 years. We started with a figure 8 and although I've sunk a small fortune in this stuff over the last 4 years, I wouldn't have it any other way. His attention span was minimal with anything at age 2, and this was one of the few things he actually began to show interest in. We have one of these T tracks but we always end up not having enough switching pieces when we set up the train tracks. I found the most useful pieces are the switching pieces like this T track, the small curves and the small straight tracks. I have had to become an engineer over the last few years in order to teach my son how to set up the tracks. We have had lots of fun over the years, and I think when he outgrows it, I'm going to be the one to cry!

Well, I don't really know about durability since we haven't had it very long, but it's great to be able to make more complex track designs! We only ordered one of these (to go with some of our generic compatible track) and I think we will probably get another one. As far as educational value goes, it is great to have my toddler spend time looking at this track as a big puzzle over watching TV! She is only 25 months and does not lay out the track correctly yet, but she is very interested in it. I am really happy with our train set and now this piece. Not to mention it is something fun for me to do with her - and I don't get bored with it!

My kid (2 1/2) loves this toy. Like another reviewer mentioned it's hard to get other track through the arches (solved by adding a short piece of track between them) and the trains sometimes seem to catch on the track going up hill (particularly Toby). Great overall, well made, well used, well loved by my Thomas fan.

My son received this to go along with his other track accessories. When we are building tracks, the track that runs underneath this MUST be straight on, or the trains will hit the underside of the bridge. The wooden pull tabs that come out at the top to support the "climbing" track are neat. However, the next time I buy a bridge, I'll double check the clearance.

Bought this at a discount toy store for my sons 2nd Birthday.He loves it! He loves putting things in the bucket(weeds,rocks,dirt)and driving it around.

Our 1yr old son received this dump truck from Santa (2000). His legs do not reach the floor but, he loves climbing in and out of the bucket. Our 2yr old daughter loves riding around and filling the bucket with toys. Great toy, better suited for 2-4yr olds.

This toy is fun for kids,but the noise from the driving wheel is incredibely NOISY!Your kids will still enjoy it, despite the noise.This is amazingly annoying,but still,if you want it to be annoying,it's a great cost! But actually most Polly Pocket items do make a lot of noise like that! They are not all annoying. As long as Polly keeps this business up ... Polly has not left the building! Article By Katie Foley.

First let me say that my almost-5-year-old daughter adores Polly Pocket and spends hours with her collection. It is a great toy to stimulate imagination and pretend play. However, the car was difficult when new to open and shut, and broke within a day or two. A door fell off, and the windshield never would stay attached. The accessories are nice, but I would spend my money a different set.

overall from some views of my own I would say this is probebly one of the cobras best quad out onthe market..HOWEVER (dont boo me yet) there are a few things im dissapointed in.. this one doesnt hold most cobras as well as the old ones did. also this one doesnt have shocks like the old skool blue cobra quad. (come on, you loved the shocks on it!) the tires on the old skool blue one were tough rubber as well, mine are kinda stretched or cracked if yo would say. but in honor of growing up with G.I.Joe, I say this toy is deffinitly worth the money..

The new Cobra Venom Striker is probably the coolest deluxe vehicle to date. It takes the majority of the poorly designed and shelf-warming Assault Quad and turns it into a cool little vehicle that's a must buy!

Ever since the Ferret, the ATV has been a longstanding staple in the Cobra motor pool. While this vehicle lacks a few of the functions that made the Ferret what it is, it nonetheless makes a great replacement or compliment to a squad of Ferrets.

The Claws figure's pretty cool and was actually what spurred my like of the Claws figure. Unlike the oversized Venom Cycle, the Venom Striker holds a driver perfectly.

This is a great vehicle and is well worth picking up three or four of them.

My son loved it so what can I say. The only down side is that it really doesn't have much educational value, but then all don't toys don't have too. I'd also have to say that if my son hadn't been so exited about getting it I probably would have balked at the cost, but it was worth every penny to see his face light up the way it did!!

My son wanted a truck or vehicle for his GI Joe and this seemed to be the best answer. When we gave it to him, he was so excited that all the other toys just sat there for hours before he came back to them. Not the most intellectually challenging toy, but still a hardy, traditional toy for boys and girls. Sort of expensive, but seems worth it for such a big impact toy.

My son LOVES this garbage truck- however, it is not worth [$$$]. Garbage trucks are hard to find- but still not worth the money. I found one at [a local store] on clearance for [$$$] (just as good as this one)

My 2 year old just loves it. The soft tires are good on hardwood floors as well. Looks well made too.

My almost-2-year-old daughter LOVES to watch the garbage trucks every week, so Grandma ordered this truck for her. It is so much fun. She can put a "driver" (we use our Little People ZooKeeper, since it does not come with a driver) in the front and can load and unload "garbage" (we use blocks and plastic food) to her hearts content. It rolls very nicely and has held up to her sitting on it like a riding toy.

I would highly recommend this for any toddlers who like trucks. It is cute, sturdy and fun.

My 5 year old loves Star Wars and has 2 of the sets. He is able to play with the completed ships and they stay together really well. He was able to put them together with minimal help. They are great because they are easy to store.

Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.

The Star Destroyer is a nice looking model and, for a mini, actually has a feeling of massiveness in its design.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid (although two sloped sides can lift a little as they are on hinges to get the slope). There is no packaged instructions for combining parts of this model with others to create a different Star Wars vehicle (some of the other sets do).

All in all, very nicely done.

This is a fairly fun set, and reasonably close to the real thing as far as LEGO Star Wars Mini sets go. The main drawbacks are:

- "wings" near the back can move even though they shouldn't be able to
- no extra model to motivate you to buy the entire series (like the TIE bomber or Y wing in previous LEGO Start Wars Mini sets)
- Uses new dark gray color

The color issue is only a problem if you intend to mix the pieces with other old dark gray pieces.

On the plus side, like all of the Mini sets this is:

- fast to build
- cheap
- easy to store/display due to small size
