My son love dinosaurs and this was the perfect gift! The quality is amazing and it works perfectly every time. He spends hours playing solo and with his siblings. I can't wait to get more Hot Wheels.

Destined for the trash can.
Terrible toy. Does not work. Waste of money. Very frustrating for child and adult. Sales hype is well written.

Meh woulda bought more track instead of this
My 4 yr old and I thought this was the coolest track at the store has a T-Rex on it so we got it... Quick set up and even quicker disappointment. Not a very good loop de loop desgin.. should have just bought more straight track.
Anyway if you didn't use so much glue on your packaging I would have returned this but the box had been destroyed in trying to open it.

Shoddy and cheap materials
Bought this toy for an almost 5-year-old. After 2 hours of use the launcher/spring mechanism is broke. Leaving the toy unable to play with. Now I am left with an almost 5-year-old saying "fix, please".

Non working track
My sister in law bought this for my son for Christmas but this is the first time we are getting it out. It goes together except for the last part of the ramp. It will not stay connected and therefore we cannot run the track.

Very Disappointing
I would give this zero stars if I could. This is NOT for a 4-year-old. It is difficult to use, and frustrating to those using it. It is impossible to launch the car thru the track. I am so sorry I wasted my money on this. No way to return it. All show, no function. A disappointment for both my son and me on Christmas! I feel like never purchasing another hot wheel track...

Incorrect Part
This was received as a birthday gift. Part D2 was the wrong part and consequently the toy DOES NOT work. Unable to determine how to, where to get the correct part. VERY unfortunate!!!!

Great for car mad son.
My son loves absolutely loves cars, so he has been enjoying playing with this. The set comes with a car but hes been using some of his cars from his own collection. This was easy to assemble and hes been enjoying using the dinosaur chomp down function. 2 thumbs up from my car mad son

Good set but my son needed help to play
My son was excited to try this set, instructions were clear and it was fairly straight forward to build, looks good with the track going through the dinosaur and the loop, unfortunately my son struggled to use the lever successfully by himself to get the car to launch as it needs to be a hard hit on a small area so he needed an adult to help launch the car (hes 6) also ...

Amazing
My little boy LOVED playing with this . It’s easy to build and play with and folds up so you can move it out of the way when not playing with it . Will definitely be buying the other ones that match to build a bigger one , would definitely recommend to friends and family

House of hot wheels
We are a hot wheels obsessed house and this didn’t disappoint. A great addition to the collection with the chomping dinosaur and goes with the other dinosaur themed pieces we have. Good quality and sturdy. A must for any Hotwheels fan

Great for kids
I revived this product for my son and he doesn’t stop playing with it. Keeps him entertained for hours and nothing will distract him from playing with this. He is a lover of cars and dinosaurs so this is perfect!

Lovely playset
My almost 5 years old son loves playing with this Hot Wheels playset. He even managed to assemble it by himself. The playset includes 1 car but the good thing is that we've got a huge collection as my son is a massive fan. It is very enjoyable and fun to play with it, and it keeps him entertained for a very long time.
