A bit of a dud... August 29, 2010
New in VT (Vermont, USA)
Hot wheels can be a lot of fun, many of the sets providing interchangeable parts, ways to assemble components into different car crashing scenarios, connections to other sets, etc. This, however, provides none of that. It is a stand-alone piece that offers little fun, no potential for creativity, and my peanuts lost interest quickly.
I would not recommend this toy for a number of reasons:
1) Its not that fun.
2) Its cheaper elsewhere (I bought it at Walmart for $14).
3) The battery compartment is not screwed together. Presumably this is because you will be changing batteries so frequently that having to screw and unscrew the compartment would become an annoyance. However if you have younger kids they will be constantly taking out the batteries which is a pain (and possible safety hazard).
There are better hot wheels set out there, you may want to consider giving this one a pass.
 uses up batteries in 10 min. of play August 24, 2010
summer's here! (South Dakota)
I got this set for my grandsons to play with while visiting. It went together OK and they were excited to try it out. they had a lot of fun with it for about 10 min. when the new size D alkaline batteries went dead. so we swapped them out for a second set---again fresh, right out of the wrapper. Again, the batteries soon died. Perhaps the set I have has a defect?? I am returning it.
 A challenge to assemble June 13, 2010
Calvin & Hobbes
Our son received quite a few birthday gifts recently, and we are opening one gift every other day.
We are now at this toy today. I was looking forward to quickly putting it together, so I could play with it. :)
I've been trying to assemble it now for the last hour and I'm not done yet! I now dread seeing "assembly required" on any of his toys, because of the amount of time and frustration it takes putting it together. I wish the instructions were simple and straightforward. I also wish they would estimate the amount of time it takes to assemble such a toy.
I'll update this review of the product, once I finish the assembly, actually get to play with it.
Update June 28: Assembly was a little challenging, but I got it done. The entire set is quite large, and now just sits on our children's train table, unused ... even I've lost interest. :) The Hot Wheels car, that accompanied this set, shoots out very fast at the start, so I made sure that my little ones weren't on the other side of the set, in case the car went off the track. It's a fairly heavy car, which would hurt if it hit someone across the room. For that reason, I've decided to shelve this unit.
