He always gets this Speed Racer truck/car. My ten year old son bought this with the money he'd saved up. We shopped around the internet before we bought it on Amazon. My son assigns everyone in the house a particular Hot Wheels truck w/car. Huh. This was the best deal we found.
The cars race. A very big deal. The trucks drive up and upload their cars. This is really a fun toy. Speed Racer rides inside, lifts up at the push of a button, then unloads down a ramp that lifts up from the top of the truck. He always wins.
I know it is durable because it has fallen off the racetrack a few times (the kitchen bar is a part of the race track so it's pretty high).
If the creative people behind Speed Racer the movie had shown as much brilliance as the genius who licensed the toy contract to Mattel's Hot Wheels division, it would have been a box office smash rather than a box office disaster.This launcher big rig is a perfect example; one Speed Racer Hot Wheels car can be carried and launched onto the floor at the touch of a button after the docking station is swung out. Push the car backwards to cock the launcher, and you are ready to do it again. Swing it back into place and press the button again to raise the elevator. Roll the car up the trailer roof/loading ramp and press the elevator back down. It comes with one car, a Mach 5 WITHOUT any movie accessory.Defects. It would have been nice if the launcher could be connected to Hot Wheels track like the Hot Wheels Speed Racer Carrying Case Launcher with car can be and if the cab had been either detachable or at least turnable.
I bought this for my 5 year old grandson who is a Speed racer fan for christmas. I hope he will like it and play with it alot. He lives in Oregon so we won't see him for christmas this year. It looks like he will have fun with it though.
This is a small truck and car set made of plastic. It works fine, but not that exciting.
I took this to our 4-yr-old grandson for his birthday. It was his favorite present. His 6 1/2-yr-old sister wanted to play with it, too. We were wishing for at least one more car with the set.
