| pwe7's Full Review: Hot Wheels Crash Test Playset |
My mom has recently been spoiling my son with little presents every time he goes over to her house. So here's a review on the latest toy that he has gotten from her.
How Does The Toy Work?
This set comes with a roadster looking car. That your child can drive onto the entrance ramp. Push it up against the launching bar (make sure the bar clicks or the car wont launch). Then by sliding the ramps back and forth, they can choose if they want to launch the car into the air or through the break away wall. Once they have selected which ramp they want the car to go on, push down on the silver button on top of the car launcher. The car goes speeding down the track, weeeeee!
What I Like:
Finally my mom gets my son Jaiden a toy that doesn't require like a million batteries. Woohoo, this one takes none! Also I like that any regular sized matchbox or hot wheels car can be used with this set. So my son lines up about ten cars and has a contest to see which car flies the farthest. The instruction are really clear on how to assemble and the assembly is really easy, maybe a little tedious but still easy.
What I don't Like:
Well the stickers on the break away wall have already scratched off from repeated use. I believe that we have only had the toy for about two months. Also the fact that that they give you about 12 stickers to put on a toy that is used for crashing cars on. Seems silly to me since a lot of the stickers are already scratched up. Also the toy is a little too flexible, I can see that sometimes it's a little hard for my son to slide the ramp back and forth.

Conclusion:
I think this is a wonderful toy for the price. It's nice enough that I don't think it would be frowned on as a birthday gift for one of your child's friends. It's also a great Hot Wheel set to begin your own child with or it makes a great addition to other Hot Wheel sets they may already have.
Well I hope this helps you out! Thank you for reading my epinion!
