HOT WHEELS Trick Tracks Triple Stunt Starter Set

July 3rd, 2009

HOT WHEELS Trick Tracks Triple Stunt Starter Set




The Triple Stunt Starter Set features three ready-made stunts that kids can connect in any way they want! Blast through the super flame launch, fly around the gravity-defying 360 degree; loop and confront the menacing tower claw for insane vehicle destruction. Create your own stunt combos for hours of daredevil fun. And best of all, these stunts will connect to any other Trick Track stunts for on-going action-packed fun. Includes one vehicle. Not for use with some Hot Wheels vehicles. Measures approximately 20″ x 12″.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Fun but not perfect
This Hot Wheels track is a lot of fun! Unfortunately, we have to manually trigger the last stunt because the claw never drops the car on the target. Out of about 40 times the claw has dropped the car on target ONCE. But my kids still LOVE it.

5 Stars beat that
i like the game because the wheel that launches the car launches it like a special track and the crane lowers and drops the car on the switch that triggers all the cars on the sides and i like that the car in the middle goes off a ramp.

2 Stars Flimsy design
I ordered this for my 4 yr old (almost 5) grandson for Christmas. He has 3 of the other Hot Wheel tracks that can be connected to this starter set. I ordered it based on the positive responses on this site, however, this track was very flimsy and soon lost its appeal. We had the entire family room covered in tracks that had to be disassembled after the holidays. It’s all in a box in the corner now and I doubt if any of us will have the time or inclination to put it all together again. It’s a lot for an adult to deal with and even more for a child. I don’t think I’ll be purchasing any more Hot Wheels tracks!

4 Stars Wiz Bang Fun
We bought this for our 8 yr old son based on the reviews here. It’s really fun to play with and is quite durable. The only silly thing is, we can’t get it back into the travel box because one part just won’t come apart no matter what we do. We don’t really care but since we went out of town for Christmas, we couldn’t repack it when it was time to drive home. Otherwise, it’s great.

4 Stars Fun starter set for a child with patience
Our 5 year old son received this for Christmas, and he’s still loving it…which says a lot considering how many toys he has to choose from. If your child is relativly new to race tracks (like ours is), you’ll probably need to help him/her assemble it. It doesn’t take long to set up, though (5 to 10 minutes), and it seems to be holding up well to all the wear and tear so far (everything still works great after 20+ uses). You should be aware that the cars do need to be moved from one section to the next, and several of our sons cars from his personal collection did not fit into the launching section….so it might be a good idea to explain that to your child before he/she begins playing with it. However…all-in-all I’d say it was a good buy.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A classic for good reason
My two year old son loves everything Melissa and Doug and the lacing beads did not disappoint. This toy has many educational uses; he loves making patterns and stacking the beads like blocks. He is building his fine motor skills and working on problem solving (how to get the string through the hole without it falling out, which even led to a discussion on gravity.) The beads are well made and the wooden box they come in stores everything very neatly. A great product at a great price!

5 Stars Spectacular!
Use beads with typical and special needs children in regular and adapted form. Kids just love them (starting at age 2).

5 Stars Mother of 4
This is great quality and very durable. My son has had a lot of fun using it.

5 Stars Simple toy for young children
This toy is great for young toddlers, large bright colored pieces. Can be used to teach colors, shapes and stringing different pieces together. A good way to entertain an youngster.

4 Stars Great learning toy
My two year old grandson loves these beads. They are great for working on eye/hand coordination. A couple of the smallest beads could be a choking hazard, as is the string, but we just watch him closely while he uses them.
