Vehicle Reviews

When This toy came out of it's box, I was amazed at the stunts it could do. You could launch it off a counter and it would not break, just like the original Hot Rocker. Sure it had to charge once every five minutes (like all mini R/Cs) but it was wearth it considering how fast it could charge and how fast it could go. A must buy (but personaly I prefer the Rebound).

Don't waste your money on this. The commercials and ads fail to tell you that the car only runs 2 minutes (per the instructions)per charge. My 4 year old lost interest in 10 minutes after having to keep recharging it. (5 times!)

We initially were not going to purchase this since it had gotten two bad reviews....but my four year old son has been obsessed with monster trucks for awhile and insisted on buying this. Anyway...yes, the instructions can be confusing but all in all our son played with it all day long. He loved getting his other Hot wheels Monster trucks and trying them on the track (they also work). He really got into setting up a HOt Wheels Monster truck challenge and was able to win against the Crusher. If your son LOVES Monster Trucks he will probably enjoy this toy.

I think Hot Wheels has some great stuff out there....but this is definately NOT one of them. Putting it together is a pain in the neck..it's very hard to click every together and the instructions could not be more unclear. (be aware that the pieces do not come out again, so you're stuck with this large contraption to store afterwards). There is only one function...pull the truck back on the lever and try to hit the monster's chest....so we did....but it was virtually impossible to do. The truck keeps falling in the "pit" and gets eaten every time. It's just poorly designed. It's VERY loud and my intelligent 5-year old stopped playing after 10 minutes.

My 5-year-old son is really into monster trucks, and he was so excited to get this toy. He saved his money for months to buy Crashzilla. This toy is fairly expensive--we paid $25 for it at our local target. It really only does one thing. You cock back the truck and aim it for the monster. You either get eaten or knock its head off. Wow! For $25 you'd expect a lot more. My son was bored with it in a few hours. A better choice for those young monster truck lovers are the Crank & Crush sets. They are only $12 and keep my son entertained for hours a day. Stay away from this one!!!

I am giving the shipper a negative comment, I ordered this on this on March 28 and still haven't gotten this!

I have played my share of video games for a person of my age and status (34 year old English teacher), and I have to say that if a game can disappoint me (I'm not really demanding at all, honest) something is definitely wrong. I've never ever played such a repetitive game in all of my life (unless you count Ms Pac-man after level twentysomething). I can see how it would appeal to the young gamers who're probably playing their third or forth game ever, but this game is a complete joke to anyone who has played any other game where you fly around in the air and shoot stuff. I don't even know why they have "levels." You can't get more redundant than this.

The game illustrates the movie well. It has realistic flight simulators with an ID4 touch. Thumbs UP!

This toy and it's stupid battery "pak" are going back to Toys R Us. It's crazy that the "pak" and the toy are the same price (If you can find the "pak"). NEVER buying Tyco ever again!!

The rating listed for this battery pack is misleading (...), I am actually reviewing the battery pack - not the toy. (...) it clearly states on the front of the box that the battery pack is required for operation, as is the case with many r/c toys. This battery pack is great - no more running out of batteries, just recharge. Lots of playtime for a single recharge too ! And, it only takes a few recharges to pay for itself many times over !!

I would like to be able to rate this toy but I this brings "batteries not included" a new meaning. Grandma bought this for my 6 year old son for X-mas. I seen batteries not included so I thought plural, but I was wrong. I don't know what Tyco was thinking about when they placed that on the box. I spent almost a full week hunting these "batteries" with no success, until one place. But to my shock they were out with no idea when they would get any more.So, now my son does nothing but pushing his rewinder around the house. I wish I could rewind time so grandma would not buy this.

Don't bother with this toy. It will not stay together and is very flimsy. We were very disappointed that we wasted our money on it.

This track looks very cool, but it just doesn't stay together. There are too many individual peices that do not stay together. Everytime by boys touched it, something would fall apart and I would have to re-assemble the entire track. I do not recommend this track at all!!!

We got this for our 5YO son's birthday. It took us about two hours to assemble. Once assembled we found that it does not work all that great. It is constantly coming apart. The only fun thing about it is the sound effects. We seriously thought about using super glue to make the pieces stay together . I would not recommend this for any child - it is quite frustrating for my 5YO and for me.

i bought this for my 5 year old nephew and he was very excited. it was fairly easy to put together, though some joints were troublesome. the real problem was that the cars don't stay on the track. every turn, which is about every 5 seconds, is a disaster. either you slow the car almost to a stop or it just flies off. and this was me operating it, not the child, but we were both disappointed.

Great concept, poor execution. The track is not wide enough for easy passing without bumping. Cars are fast but track leaves much to be desired.

when i got this toy for my son,all batteries were inc. 9v plus 6v nicad and charger!and i got it for less than the price on this site! my son loves it, esp as it rolls over and back on to it's wheels again

My son received this toy for Christmas. No batteries were included. No problem, right? Just go get some. Well, easier said than done. We called the local hobby shop looking for the 6V NiCad battery it needed. They stated that these kinds of r/c cars require that you purchase their batteries from the original retailer as they are proprietary parts. Neither Amazon, nor Wal-Mart seem to have these batteries available through their websites. I tried calling DSI's 800 consumer hotline number, it is disconnected. Their website is also gone. Through research, I found out that DSI went from a public company to a private comany in March of 2003, but no other further news of the company can be obtained. I tried calling a non-800 number I found for them, but the lines were busy, so I can't prove they still exist. So, unless, I can find a battery for this thing, it won't be rocking and rolling, it will just make a nice display piece.

We bought our son the big ride-on John Deere gator for his 3rd birthday and thought this "little gator" would be cute for him to play with when he couldn't be with the big one. He loved it when he got it, but within 15 minutes, a piece had broken off. Two hours later, a wheel broke off and another piece of plastic was coming off. It was very disapointing for my son, especially since he was only driving it on the carpet and not playing roughly with it. I'm sending it back for a refund and will choose another toy. (The big gator is running strong, however! Save your money and buy the ride on!)

This toy looks pretty cool ,you can't find much Gohans like that.
I don't have it yet thow I have one just like it but only with a car.Why erverbody loves DBZ or GT it just plane awsome, mostly everbody in the USA and Japan loves it.Their about75% of boys and girls that like Dragonballz in the two countrys the other 25%is girls that like Barbie amd Salormoon and the other girls that like it is if they have guy friends or brothers.

Complete junk. My son was very disappointed with this toy (as was my husband). The tracks do not stay attached and the other pieces continually fall off. It looked like a lot of fun on the picture. However, my son never plays with it.

My son was so excited to get his car wash; but instead of making him happy, all it did was cause him frustration and upsetment because it never worked properly. If I had kept the box, I would have returned it to the store we purchased it from. The only thing worse than the huge rip-off it was, was seeing how much it disappointed my son.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. WHAT A JOKE!! Assembly was frustrating at best, and it wouldn't stay together once we finally put it together. I would have returned it, but we were on the other side of the county at the time, and, being a pathetic optimist, I thought I could fix it with super glue. I am glad that we never put water in it since everyone said it leaks profusely. ...
