Hot Wheels City Downtown Fire Station Spinout Play Set

My four year old has a fascination with fire trucks and fire poles lately, so I knew he'd be thrilled to open the box on this toy. Sure enough, he was very excited to see it! I appreciated that the packaging was easy to open and didn't require scissors or have tight plastic that could slice me. It's an easy punch-out cardboard bottom and a simple plastic screw. At first I wasn't able to determine exactly how the features on this toy worked (what the yellow button did), but after a few minutes of play, the kids quickly discovered that it makes the car spin down on the pole when you have it up at the top. They absolutely loved that! It's also nice that this fire station attaches easily to other Hot Wheels tracks. The kids decided to build a whole city to put their fire station in, using some older tracks, and it fit perfectly. The set seems fairly durable. My 4 year old was rough on it, and the blue "water" gate popped off once, but it was easy to snap back into place. Overall, this kept my kids' attention and gave them lots of imaginative play time.

I got this for my grandson and he loved it. He is four and really in to Hot Wheels. It is really well made. He loved the way the pole in the middle would spin up and down and the track the car runs on. Now he wants to be a fireman. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
