Thomas the Train: Take-n-Play Tote-a-Train Playbox


Fits some wooden trains
This is great for traveling. It is the only thing I have found that stores Thomas trains - even though it's take n' play, the wooden engines can also fit in some of the spots (though there is not much room for the long trains). My son (2 1/2) was amazingly entertained on an airplane and in our hotel by the tiny little oval track.
Room for the whole Steam Team (plus an extra space!)
The outside of this Tote-a-Train, equipped with a handle and very sturdy, has Thomas' big, happy face; upon opening it up, there are 9 different compartments for train storage - enough for the entire Steam Team (Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Emily) PLUS one! But ALSO included is a circular track with a stop signal arm! The area inside the track depicts various elements of places and activities on the Island of Sodor. While it can connect up to other playsets at two points, my grandson's Tote-a-Train usually sits on a shelf with his Thomas books & DVDs (closed up with Thomas' happy smile showing!), but anytime we go someplace where he wants to introduce someone to the whole Steam Team, THIS is the playset he takes! The Tote-a-Train first appeared on TnP's original Spring 2010 Collector Checklist, and we paid $14.97 for our grandson's. (Update: Fisher-Price's summer 2013 MSRP is $16.)

Update: There are 17 playsets in the TnP line as of summer 2013...
More entertainment than I thought!
My son received this for Christmas and has proved to be the BEST gift he got! It has provided hours and hours of entertainment. I never would have imagined he would like it this much. Just the little circle track inside has been fun for him. Now I am on a mission to find the tracks that attach to it so he can add on. I simply bought this for storage. I did not think he would get playtime out of it!

Maisto Tech Red Rock Crawler Remote Control Car


it is great
it is very durable and fun it can go down slides and over toys. it climbs over feet and clothes and keeps going. it is a different design than i ordered.
Highly Recommended
Very durable, simple to use, and lot of fun! It is pretty impressive as to what it can do.

This is my first time successfully using an RC vehicle. Runs easily, easy to control speed and steer, and great to play with for all ages. Laborious to open, with all of the twist ties; but, hey, free high quailty twist ties. Nice 'display box' as a gift and packed well by the manufacturer. Simple to use by most, works in tall grass, excellent RC distance.

Seems like AWD but I think it has just front and rear motors, and articulates well. Good traction on all surfaces used on. Kirkland 'AA' batteries (6 you place in the car, simple plastic lock door) lasted 3 days with lots of tough use and continued to last over a week with reasonable use; most of his things are broken within a day. The 9-volt battery in the remote transmitter works longer than the 6AA's in the car. You do not need expensive batteries but for the 9VDC remote I use a Li-Ion fire detector battery (regular...
Not the truck I ordered
I received the rock crawler very quickly. The rock crawler is a fun toy and seems to be durable.I was a little disappointed that the style was different from the one I actually ordered.

WOW
I bought this to have at Grandma's house when the grandkids come for a visit. It's the biggest hit with all ages. They can't wait to get out the "cars" and play for hours. I ordered more cars as the grandkid numbers kept expanding. Well worth the money.
neo tracks
My 7 year old daughter and my 3 year old son who is diagnosed with PDD-NOS which is on the Autism Spectrum loves this toy. I love it to because it is super easy to assemble and dissassemble. I actually roll the track up and put parts in a zip lock bag.
Get it you will not regret it and the cars are awesome also!!!!!!

Brio Classic Figure 8 Set


Nice little starter set for the toddler
This set is exactly what I sought as birthday present for a toddler. It is very simple. A two to three year old will find the tracks a bit of a puzzle, and their imigination will be given a chance to explore a variety of assembly sequences, not all of which end up in a figure 8! I hope to add to this as time goes on.
For my grandson
I tried it out, but the true test is my grandson, who even at one year loves this toy! A classic!
Brio base set
This is a great starter, I also purchased an expansion set and some track sets from a generic brand which is compatable 4 sets total. The combinations seem endless. My 2 year old loves them

Maxim Enterprise Expansion Switch and Crossing Track Pack


Great
These are great. On some of the pieces the connectors are plastic on others wood, no problem for me but some people might want to know that. Great addition to our wood train track. Compatible with the other brands.
track expansion
This is a great track expansion for our Kid Kraft train track and my son loves the turn-around piece, giving him more control over the design of his track - and he's only 4.
Track extentions
These additions allowed my grandson to make so many new train track options. Right away he was and cousins were making so many new variations. So much fun.
