rc fanatic
This 2 wheeler is too tight. I have been looking for an rc motorcycle for a reasonable price for a long time. I had one before that was made by tyco that took a little 6v battery. It went super fast. but my little brother broke it. Now I'm a very experienced rc hobbyist I have a gas rc car that goes 60mph. Though I have never played with this motorcycle it looks as if it goes about 25mph. I'm 15yrs old

Money WASTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine broke the very first time I used it.

I hit a curb at VERY low speed and then the steering stopped working. I am very conservative with my RC toys, and this was no exception. It should not have broken as easily as it did. The lights are nice, but the sounds and extra batteries are not needed on this bike. If they had made it lighter and better handling, it would be a much better seller among adults, but it is too slow and bulky to be much fun for very long. A child will be disappointed by this bike, especially after it breaks.

I was luck to have been able to return this where I bought it, as TYCO is selling these through alot of outlets with restrictrive return policies (motorcycle dealerships and such)that don't normally carry toys.

If you want an RC sportbike, put the 100 bucks toward a Kyosho or Thunder Tiger that can actually be modified to do wheelies and stuff.

If you like wasting your money on trash, buy this bike.

Great
this is great even though i have never played with it or seen it up close of even in person ... Read more

Its pretty great
I have ordered this online and when I received it,I thought it was excellent,it seems to stand up to a beating somewhat as I have accidently dropped it on the floor a few times and it stayed together,however the smack to the tail with the remote took the tail off.The detail on it is pretty good compared to some I have seen,its pretty cheap as well compared to what you can get these days,this and the franklin mint have the most detailed helicopters that I have seen but its a price difference from 200 to 32 all in all I think its great for AH-64 fans.

AH-64A model review
1) I do not know where the customer saw his real Apache at, but he seems to be incorrect on several points. I work on AH-64A and D models here at Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, GA.
A) The main rotor blades are in the correct location in the picture and also are the tail rotor blades. You have a set of inboard and a set of outboard tail blades.
B) The blades are a different color from the airframe,
they are black.
C) As for the Main Landing Gear, they appear to be in the correct scale and location.
D) As for the weathering effect, well he needs to see our birds that have just came back from the Desert. They look like the one in your picture.
E) The angle of the Gunners/Co-Pilot and Pilot's stations dose look correct.
Well this all that I have to say. We are looking at a toy not a true to scale model and it sure dose look real close to scale and worth the price. Thank you for your time.

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT
Considering its price and the rarity of finding ANY 1:48 scale diecast military helicopter, this Apache is somewhat of a small miracle. However,it DOES have several flaws that no serious collector will be able to overlook: (1)COLOR-it's too light. It should be a dark olive or drab instead of the medium green that it currently is.The rotors on the bird should also be the same color as the fuselage. (2)WEATHERING/WASH-completely wrong. The color of an actual Apache is simply too dark for such an intense degree of weathering to show. (3) CHIN GUNMOUNT-incorrectly angled. It should angle back and close to the ships hull instead of projecting straight down from the its underside. (4) LANDING STRUTS- too thick as are the wheel mounts-they bring the wheels waaaay to close to the weapons pods on the winglets when you configure the ship with the missle racks on the inboard pylons.(5) FORWARD COCKPIT FRAME-incorrectly angled inferior leading edge. It should angle forward, not backward. In addition, the cockpit opens on the wrong side!! CRAZY.(6)MAIN ROTORS-ARE NOT ON THE SAME PLANE!!! Two above and two below the rotor hub!!! This is the worst of all its faux pas's and is not even seen in far more inferior Apache replicas. (7) FLIMSY MAIN ROTOR ASSEMBLY-ALSO A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I actually snapped the two small and wholly inadequate connecting rods when rotating the blades and had to slightly separate and epoxy them back together. (8)POORLY EXECUTED TAIL ROTOR-lacks detail and the one on my bird doesn't even freely rotate. One might think that I hate this copter-but here is the irony- I LIKE IT-inspite of its flaws and for the two reasons I mentioned in the opening of this review. Taken on its own, its good, but when comparing it against the MODEL POWER and FRANKLIN MINT offerings, it comes up short-unless you again consider price. In summary: great for the price, but a letdown for the detail concious collector. It's somewhere between a well done 'toy' and a so-so collectible. ... Read more

Works Great
This works great. It seems to have an adequater battery life (it seems to go fast, but the battery was doing a lot of work in our case). Easy to use. Durable. Good price. What more could you want (at this price)?

Inadequate description of battery charger
description of recharger is inadequate. Overseas buyers need to know if the recharger input is 120v/60hz, 220v/50hz or both.

No specification given.
There is no specification/description given on the site. The only specification you can find is from the picture that claims to be 720mAh. But when you recieve the battery, the actual mAh is 620 which is written on battery. ... Read more

Total Ripoff
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! For the price, we could of bought my son (3) toys that were as much fun and 100 times more sturdy.I was very disappointed, and don't know what "they" were thinking when they came up with this toy.Do yourself a favor, and walk away!

Save your money - junk, junk, junk!!
This was supposed to be one of my son's Christmas gifts.After spending an hour putting it together on Christmas Eve, my wife and I decided that it was such a piece of junk that it wasn't worthy of being from 'Santa'.The quality of the track is horrible.As an adult I would have been afraid of breaking it myself.There is no way it would stand up to the use of a child.The parts are flimsy - dime store quality at best.The only saving grace of this product is that it comes with 10 Hot Wheels cars.Buy your kids 10 cars and give them a (...) to play with.They will be much happier in the long run - and the paper bill will last longer!

My wife called Mattel customer service and they were good enough to issue a Mattel gift certificate for their list price (...) AFTER we ship the curved pieces back.Still, I expected a better product from Hot Wheels in the first place!Bring back the plain old tracks of my childhood!!

This is junk!!
We bought this for our son cause he just loves hot wheels, but after taking forever to put together, I found that some pieces do not snap together, they just balance there. Like the tall sloped track, if you look closely you will see that the very top piece is just resting on top so everytime my son touched any part of the mountain this piece would fall off. Then after playing with it for about an hour and more and more pieces falling off he became upset and knocked the whole thing over and has not wanted to play with it since. Nobody should buy this unless you feel like glueing the whole thing together. Oh and also alot of the time cars would not go around the curves very well so he had to keep nudging them down. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HOT WHEELS!!! ... Read more

a great vehicle!!!!
The sewer lid launcher is a very good toy! I haven't tried to launch any of the sewer lids because i need batteries. But it's very cool!!! I had one turtle ride on it. and you have to drop the lids in a certain way to get them in or else they fall in upsidedown

Fun!
This toy is really fun for boys.They love to shoot the lids.The lids will not get stuck if you put them in with the "sewer" word facing up.This is in the directions.However, as with all the Ninja Turtle toys, it comes apart easily.I really think they could improve the whole line.

Grandson loved it!
My Three year old grandson just loves the Turtles and has many.We got him the sewer lid launcher for his third birthday hoping he would be old enough to play with it. Well, When he could get it away from his uncle and cousin for a turn, He Had A Blast! Sometimes the lids would jam(but a hard slap on the top cures that) and it continues to fire. The sewer lids really fly out hard and we had to make a few rules about hitting people. His Dinosaurs became the perfect targets. The toy is pretty easy to turn on and off and the fire button is easy to push with little fingers.The little seat for the turtle guy falls off easily,but should not be a problem for an older child. His Mother didn't like the whiny noise it makes,But seems to fit the machine.He is already missing 5 lids and I hope the company sells them.They are good size but slipped under the basement walls. I would not advise getting this toy for someone under 3 or over 10. ... Read more

NOT FOR FAT WOMEN
Well here we are again. This time, we tried the Mega Bloks Hawg, as we call um here in Georgia. This was a fun build, but the fun stops there. Our next door neighbor was over (she goes about 450 pounds) she had a little too much to drink and she wanted to take it for a spin. Needless to say, she immediately found the limits to our toy's durability. Now all we have is a heaping pile of broken plastic. Moral of the story? Keep your Mega Bloks Harley away from drunk fat women.

lots of fun for the big kids
I bought this for my husband and 15 year old son to do together. My 19 month old son had a hand in helping from time to time and I think it has caused all three of the guys to become hooked on lego's. They put this together while watching orange county choppers.They had a blast with this and convinced me to buy them the monster truck to build next because of the great experience they had. My husband has a motorcycle and misses riding in the winter so this was a teaser for him until he can ride again. This is not something to play with after it is put together. The chrome pieces and footpegs pop off a little too easy but are simple to put back on. Great stress reliever. Looks like they will be pursuing the Ford GT after they get the monster truck built.

A Harley that rivals the real thing!!!
I bought this for my husband who really wants a Harley to ride, but this is so realistic he decided this would do until he could by a real one. This model is fun to put together and is so realistic that it is also eductional. ... Read more

My grandson loves this toy !
Recently visited my grandson, who is 5 and a 1/2 and he said it is a great toy!I thought it was a little noisy and thought it would be allot neater if it shot out if you pressed a button but he didn't seem to mind.He hooked it on to things himself and watched it pull itself up.... He would highly recommend this toy to other 5 year olds.

Crappy
this toy is crappy. i thought it would be cool with the grappling hook but the hook doesn't fire it just pulls with a pulley mechanism and thats not all, its also loud and slow and durable(tried to burn it didn't work:( anyway dont buy it its a waste of money;_; ... Read more

could be faster.
Good boat for someone 7-11 ,otherwise it might not be fast enough. It goes about walking speed and has excellent control. It can even kinda turn when it is not going forward. this boat uses 4aa's or a 6.0 v battery pack and charger. If you want a faster boat probbly get a 9.6v one. Overall I got no complaints except it could be faster.

Boat worked for about 15 minutes
Bought this for my son.It was fun...while it worked.It worked great for about 15 minutes and then it no longer went forward.You can only drive it in reverse, which takes the fun out of it.At one point, it didn't work at all then started again.It was very inconsistent.I took it back to the store to purchase a different one. ...

Editorial Review

Linear racing becomes old hat once kids try the Hot Wheels Fireball set.Its star feature: a 21-foot-long, 360-degree racing surface on which cars defygravity. A motorized "quad booster" increases car speed for those vertical featsand inevitable crashes, which are even cooler with the lights out because thetwo included racers glow in the dark. Also, this set can be used as an extensionfor existing Hot Wheels sets, creating even more racing action. Somethingparents should look out for when the cars are crashing: they can come off thetrack unexpectedly. The manufacturer says crashing cars may "exit the play set,"which basically means someone could get popped in the kisser. There is a safetynet that covers the sphere, but it can come off if not secured correctly, socaution is advised. Assembly and four D batteries are required. --DianeBeall ... Read more

Not very fun - a Dad's review
This was a birthday gift for my 6 yr old, who LOVES Hot Wheels and everything about cars.Assembly of the toy was not that bad, you just matched the letters on the tracks.It required some effort to put the screws in, as it was hard to see with the track in the way.Toy requires BRAND NEW alkaline batteries to propel the cars.Anything less will not work.The meteor in the middle is flimsy, poorly designed, and unimpressive.Toy is very loud.

Worst of all the toy is just not fun, even for kids that adore Hot Wheels.You drop a car in, they zip endlessly in loops ... and that's about it.When they crash it can be challenging for a small one to sometimes fish the cars out.6 year old walked away in less time than it took to build it.

-- A dad.

Too loud even for a 6 year old boy.
Even my son can't stand the noise this thing makes!It is going to Goodwill soon.It really made him sad that the toy in the cool ads isn't nearly as much fun as he expected.Guess hotwheels put all the money into great ads and not into making great toys.Ripped off again by hotwheels.

cardboard super track
I'm sorry, I don't own this toy. but this toy is dumb. just follow these steps and you will have your own super track. for 4 months, collect paper towel and toliet and foil rolls { the carboard part[. when you have your desierd amount of pecies start bulding your track. you can tape the tubes together or cut slits and slide them together. tape works better and saves time but slits can let you build loops and turns and weird tricks. you do ethier method. leave two ends open for the entrance and exits. remeber to have supporting objects for track parts with nothing below them. you can use hot wheels cars or marbles. have any questions? if so include them with a reveiw for this toy and i will get back to you! SECRET BOUNUS: if you cut a few tubes in half and then add them to your track, you can see your cars go while on the track! ... Read more

Poorly Engineered
The manufacturers of this toy never should have released it for sale.As noted by other reviewers, the Batman car does not operate properly.It is the wrong shape for maintaining contact with the track, and either does not move at all or is knocked out of its track slot by the Joker cycle as it whizzes by.Given that the Joker cycle moves quickly and stays on the track, there is no point in racing the two vehicles.If your child is content to watch the Joker cycle go around and around the track by itself, then the toy may hold his/her attention for about 10 minutes.That works out to $2/minute to keep your child entertained.Still interested?

very frustrating
The track did not fit together very well, it left small gaps between each piece.The batman car did not make contact with the track 90% of the time.The contacts for the batman car was made from braided wire (not a very good design).I have a 6 & 8 year old that played with it for about 15 minutes before becoming frustrated.I played with it and I also could see thier frustration level.

The batman idea is a neat way to suck you in to buying this product, but don't waste your time.

So far I'm not impressed!
The Joker cycle runs ok, but the Batman car.... doesn't run.Went to the store where I got it to try to replace it to see if another one worked better but they didn't have any more.So for now, until I can replace it I'm stuck with a race set where one one vehicle runs... so much for racing! ...
