Editorial Review

Really, can you have enough Matchbox cars? I mean, think about all the places in your life that could be livened up with a few of these fit-in-your-fist wonders. If you're a kid, they can be raced down driveways, around bathtubs, across kitchen floors, or along hastily constructed ramps. Grownups will find that when placed on almost any desk, countertop, or in a coat pocket, they make life younger and more fun. This 20-car set contains five cars each from four randomly selected themed boxes. Themes include: 5 Alarms, Cars Cars Cars, Dude Ranch, Car Wash, Sea Explorer, Emergency Rescue, Canyon Base, and Wilderness Road Trip. Most have some variety of vehicles in them and include non-car vehicles like trucks, ATVs, and jeeps. Except for the Cars Cars Cars set. That one is all cars. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

This is a wonderful toy!
We bought this Car Wash for our little boy to go along with the Matchbox hero city playset.He got it for his 4th birthday and out of all the gifts he got for his birthday- the matchbox hero city car wash and the rest of the set is what he spends most of his time playing with out of everything else.We finally have a use for all the cars he has- he loves taking the cars through the wash and up the elevator to get dried off!I highly recommend the Matchbox hero city playset and the car wash by its self is a great product!I am so happy that Matchbox has came out with the awesome sets that you don't have to put together and they can be moved without pieces falling off of them.Its great to be able to use all those little matchbox and hot wheels cars we had stored in their box.Now they get played with daily and it keeps my little boy occupied on those rainy days!

My kids all love this toy.
This set was the first of 4 Matchbox playsets that my son received for Christmas. He received it at a pre-Christmas gift exchange and all my kids (age 2, 3 1/2 and 5 1/2) had such a fabulous time playing with it that we got him 2 more for Christmas and he bought one himself with a gift card.
The car wash is a pretty simple playset, but all the kids love it. So I bought one for my nephew's birthday and he's having a blast with it as well.
You can put water in it to really "wash" the cars, but I left it dry to avoid any messes.They haven't seemed to mind at all.
I love that there aren't a bunch of small pieces to fall off and get lost.It's definitely been a hit at our house.
We also have the Police Station (similar size) and the larger Haunted House and Buried Treasure sets. They are all wonderful.

My two year old loves this toy!!
This is a great toy, especially for the price.Ther are no stickers to apply. Nothing to put together. Just open and start playing.My son(2 1/2) loves to wash his cars and then spin the fan to "dry" them. I recommend this for any car loving little boy or bigger boy. My 5 year old nephew also loves to play with this toy. ... Read more

Hours of fun from an inexpensive toy
My 3 1/2 year old sonowns all of the Hero City playsets (except for the Haunted House)and he absolutely loves them. He spends hours with his cars and the sets, especially the larger airport and police station.I do agree with previous reviews that these playsets are flimsy but for the price the sets offer hours of great play (the smaller sets were purchased on sale for $4 which you can't beat!).The fact that these sets do not require batteries and come already assembled is a big plus.A child can play with just one playset or connect several to make a "town".These make a great inexpensive gift!

Falls apart Constantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My daughter both think these are great..but they fall apart allll the time. I have to be sitting with them to even keep it together. Don't get me wrong, I like to play along with them, that is fine, but I have to be there every second or it will fall apart! I think the concept is great, and they do like them, but it is very frusturating to play with for them and me as well.

Great Boy Toy!
My 5 year old loves this set!We bought the whole set after we got the 3 pack!He plays with it almost as much as Rescue Heroes! It is a little flimsy, but my sons imagination goes wild with this.Highly reccomended! ... Read more

Scrub away, pal
My 3.5 year old loves this toy! I put it on a bathtowel on the kitchen floor and he washes cars to his heart's content. Uses very little water, really, but could make a puddle. The top "squirt water or squirt soap" button is confusing, but he prefers to open the top and push the individual buttons anyway. The "dryer" sponges at the end of the wash are useless, but they do move. Tons of fun... ... Read more

matchbox hero city auto garage review
this toy is brilliant I love playing with it all you need to do is use your imageination and youll be on your way whilst you are having fun it also learns you some skills on how to put fuel into a car or take it to the garage to get fix overall this toy is fantactic i would certainly recommend it.

Very Solid and Good Toy for Money Value
This is a Christmas gift from my baby's aunt...Surprisely, it is easy to be assembled, and all the connectors and cotact parts are tight, strong, and excellent connected together. For a 2 yrs. old boy toddler, this is an excellent toy to make his body, brain, and vision working together.
After my boy played this toy, he knew everytime when we went to Gas station, he knew the car is adding the gas, and he pick it up very quick when back home to play this again, and knew what's car garage looks like. Most fun to play this toy is to put the car on top, and the baby boy can turn the top nut to slid the car slip down through the curve setup, it make him laughing a lot and also see different car got different reaction to that curve; it the car is too big, instantly he knew that car what he put there is too big---learning, also the traffic lights train him to recognize the colors.
By following the toy car paths, the boy learn the circulation of the garage setup, the logical setup will make his brain to figure out the paths and circualtion of space arrangements. Since first day he got this toy, he still not getting tired of it, my brother-in-law kids also like this toy everytime when they came to our home!!
I will strong recommend this toy to any kid whose age is 2+. And aftet his toy, I bought the other Matchbox Herocity set----Construction set. This is a different setup with the Auto Garage, but still an excellent toy set, more advanced way to play toy car and both set keep my boy never getting tired to either one, of course, I will strong recommend parents to play with the kids several times first, then the kids will know how to figure out themselves. Regarding the other HeroCity sets, DO NOT---Sky Busters Airport(too may falling parts), Emergency Car Wash(not solid connect and falling parts), and Fire Blaster(wasting money on a shooting car toy, no value at all, neither education at all). The others Sets are better than above DO NOTs, it seems those bigger set are worest than the small ones!! ... Read more

dependable and gets the job done
I have used this toy to demo a flagstone/concrete patio and about 80 feet of sidewalk. I first tried the sledgehammer/prybar route, but that was too slow and tiresome. I got the job done by myself in less than 8 hours with this toy. It is quieter than gas/air powered hammers, but I still wore ear protection. It is easy to operate and not very fatiguing-the most tiring part is picking it up and setting it down. It is heavy, but I could lift it into the trunk of my car by myself. With 2 people lifting it is a breeze and the cart makes transporting it very easy. I ran it hard all day and it never complained- and this was a pretty beat up rental tool. I highly recommend this toy if electricity is available-it is much more convenient than gas and compressed air hammers. Plus it is powerful and durable enough for all but the biggest demolition jobs. ... Read more

Don't buy this dangerous toy
The toy is dangerous.When my son pressed on the "press-n-power" figure that makes the toy go, it flipped up and hit him hard in the forehead with a sharp corner.It barely missed his eye.Both of us were stunned and my son was injured.Don't buy this toy.Unless your child holds it with both hands, it is unstable and its sharp corners fly at his face. ...

Great Toy!
My 2 1/2 year old son loves this toy.It provides endless imaginitive play for him.He fights fires everywhere and loves to drive his trucks out of the station and back in.

Fun but cheap
My 3 yr son loves construction toys and loves playing with this one. I'm glad I didn't spend to much money on it though as it lost the tower right away and two of the crane legs disappeared. Now he just holds the crane up and knocks down things with it. Though even when it was attached it wouldn't just knock down the top of the building - both levels always went over -not like it shows in the pictures. The pieces are also always coming apart and he is asking me to put it together again. Even with all that bad to say about this product he still really likes playing with it and it keeps him entertained longer than most other toys.

twelve, and still happy
I just wish though, that they were sold in stores without the whole set. It took quite awhile to get them all. I was glad to learn that they were avaible online. The toy truck goes perfect with my construction toys that I have already. I couldn't do without it.The rest of the set is durable, and have never had it break on me.

Car Crazy 2-Year Old Loves It
It might not have enough moving parts to keep an older child's interest, but my almost 3 year old son loves running his hotwheels up and down the ramps. It's been pretty sturdy for us set up on a low table, and doesn't come apart unless knocked to the floor.He likes it because it's something to "vroom" his cars around on and there's a tunnel under the road he can stuff things into, I like it because I don't have to re-assemble it very often and there aren't any detachable pieces to keep track of, all in all we're both happy with it. ...
