Is it worth the money? It seems very expensive for a toy truck, but I can't find anything similar for less.

From my experience no, it is not. Unless it is used by a kid indoors and it will not be dropped. It is a nice toy but my 3 yearly grandson destroyed it in less than 30 minutes with one drop. If it had rubber tracks, I would be much more comfortable with reliability.

Tough question! It was worth every penny for us! My son plays with almost no toys, but he loves "diggers." We loved that this didn't have any batteries or parts that would get ruined if the excavator got wet or dirty. He takes it in the tub, outside, etc. We also found out the other day, you can order some of the parts at a reasonable price if needed. The tracks, seem to come off a lot, but snap back on with no problem.

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :) Hi!

I wouldn't describe it as a toy and besides, it's pretty expensive. I hesitated a lot before buying it, and only gave in because my youngest (4 years old) copies his big brother in everything and I didn't want him feeling left out. It was a pleasant surprise for me that, after several months of play, Superman is still in one piece.So I'm inclined to say that probably a 2.5-year-old could play with it too, but not if the child still puts things in his mouth. In that case i'd suggest putting it off for a little while or writing to the company to inquire about the chemical composition of the model and its paint. Hope this helped.

The wheels on this truck roll great. If you give it a push it rolls. It goes backwards too. It is a manual toy. No remote control. Helps child develope imagination. It's an awesome truck. My son got this last year for Christmas and still loves it. He also has the crane and garbage truck. Bruder rocks!

Yes it is worth it. Its a great set for a 5 year old. He will love it. However, its very sensitive when playing with one or more kids because it is made of plastic. I recommend this hot wheel because most kids love playing it.

The truck is pretty peppy with the battery it comes with. It lacks run time though. I would start off by getting a second battery of the same size, and connecting them in parallel. The series connection is designed solely to increase top speed, and should only be used for that. Stop and go style use will fry the batteries in no time in series. Parallel increases how long the batteries will run, as well as the raw torque of the truck. A lot of guys out there will say, "Get the biggest and tie them in series!" I will definitely say that high speeds are not this truck's friend. Although it does result in some wicked crashes!

It's definitely worth it. It may be cardboard, but it still looks super fun to a toddler and is a great storage space for all of their dress-up toys. My niece calls it her treasure box and keeps all of her "princess dresses" in it still. Definitely worth it's price. You could not get an actual wooden box that looked like this with all the accessories for only twenty something dollars.

LOL thanks so much to whomever posted this, I was about to waste another pile of money on another toy that's double the price here than other stores----THANK YOU and from now on I will check Walmart-Toys R Us, etc first. This place is crazy lately with these 3rd party sellers.

I have purchased 4 or 5 of these for my son with special needs. It is his favorite toy. The first ones I bought through Amazon and paid about $20 each for them. Recently I purchased the same toy from my local walmart for $19.97. I don't know why there would be differnt prices. Looks the same to me.

i agree with Michael. It is for adults and very much go up in price. They are collectibles and not everyday action figures. If you go to other Hot Toys resell sites you will see how quickly the price goes up. I bought this as a Christmas gift and it has gone up $100 in selling price. It is highly detailed and if you go to YouTube, you can see reviews of various Hot Toys items that are out of box and shows all the detail of the item

Yes. The only thing that sucks about this car is that the rear belts break a LOT.....Outher then that is not bad.for about $100 more you can get the Team Losi SCT tough country.That truck is sick .

It's a nice quality toy; my son adores the toy; he calls it a dog hotel, house, and carriage; he gave names to all residents, and even took the house into bed for a while. That said, it is a bit expensive, and your choice depends on how much you love stuffed dogs.

Hi Again....I'm sorry, I didn't answer your question did I . Unfortunately we do not have any other trucks other than the dump truck. Thank You for think of Little Folks Book and Toy....Barbara J.

I don't know. I can tel you that it is my grandson's favorite truck. I got it for him for his 3rd Birthday last August he fills the mixer with small jelly beans and tranfers them to his dumptrucks. It is well made and very realistic. It has not been outside at all.

It's nice, the one at Toys R Us is better for about the same price. My kids have had hours of fun making them.

No, it's a plastic scale model, it comes in like 100+ pieces, unpainted, and you have to glue each individual piece together, then paint the vehicle and when it is assembled, it is not a toy or anything like that, it just sits on the shelf, and can and will look very realistic, but the only "playing" you can do with it is assembling it, which can be difficult but very rewarding, and will help people understand more about the mechanics of a vehicle. If you are looking for an RC snow plow, I would look into finding an assembled Tamiya CC-01 Blazer with a Snow-Plow attachment, but that's hobby-grade and will cost a few hundred dollars. If you're looking to get a R/C (remote-control )gift, or for yourself, or whatever you need, you can give me a price range and age range for who it is for, I'm very familiar with the R/C scene and am a hobbyist myself, so I can help you find the right gift at the right price if you're unsure what to buy.

This is hands down the strongest built truck out of the box I have owned. Do a few searches on youtube and see how guys beat this thing to a pulp and it keeps on running. You can break it but it will take a LOT more punishment than most.
