Monster Jam 1:64 El Toro Loco Vs. Megalodon (Walmart Exclusive)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family was selected to review some cool toys from spin master. We received a set of monster jam trucks; blue thunder and grave digger. My kiddos are pretty wild with their toys especially when they become a favourite. Since the moment they arrived my boys were excited to tear open the package. It has been nearly a week since and theyre still going strong. My youngest son (3) has fallen in love with the grave digger (mostly because its mostly blue) but also after seeing a clip of what monster jam is and what they do hes been reenacting jumps and imaginative play with both trucks on blocks, on the carpet car mat, outside in the dirt and in his car seat while we travel. The trucks have been in dirt and water, smashed, thrown, tossed, and stepped on and are still intact. The best moments as a mom and ECE are when you see that youngster in his own world, making jumps out of wooden blocks, pathways and obstacles for his trucks to play on with the sounds of revving engines coming from this immersed child while he plays independently. You see the links and connections hes making with real life and reimagining in his play, the problem solving and management of the blocks and obstacles he uses and the amount of fun he engages in. These may only be monster trucks in a package but to my little boy it became so much more in just a short amount of time. I think we have some monster jam tickets coming in our future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got the Gears and Galaxies Special Edition set (my boys are really into the space right now) and its a hit! These die-cast monster trucks can handle some rough play on all kinds of surfaces. Definitely a keeper for us!
