Matchbox 4-Level Garage [Amazon Exclusive]

time to put together, so don't do as I did and open it right away and make them wait while you set it up. It is also likely that they will want to help with sticker installation. I have no problem with the stickers being straight, but I wish you would send us the stickers back. Make sure that you do it ahead of time.

The directions are a bit vague, mostly because they don't appear to correspond to the garage that is actually enclosed. I took the pictures of the box in the same way as I did for the instructions outlined in the directions. Among the parts where the instructions were lacking, I found the following to be frustrating There is no way that the blue air tank and the air tools on the second floor would go at the TOP of the shelf as illustrated by the instructions and photos, but rather they would go at the bottom of the shelf beneath In the photo, the object is freestanding in the middle of the floor, which will not balance and fall in two For reference, I have included a photo. There is a lot of construction going on in the carwash and the kids loved driving through it. This new toy has both a ramp and an elevator, which means for the first time two kids can actually share it without much struggle. There is ample room for two people in this apartment. You got a great deal! The item I picked up for $20 (perfect condition) was used, and I think I would not pay $40 for it.

Despite terrible instructions, I was able to figure it out on YouTube! Thanks for building me this little garage! I'm very satisfied with it! There is no need to worry about the assembly instructions since all of the reviews say the same! The problem is. Using a YouTube video to demonstrate how to assemble, I assembled the case step by step I got a BREEZE as soon as I took my step. This video is called (Video Title Mission 4 in the Matchbox game Build the level garage city playset with spiral ramp action and the automatic car wash (

The stickers are the worst part. Be sure to put as many as you can as you build. As I saw stickers in the video, I paused the video to apply It took quite a bit of time and effort to put this together, since several of them weren't shown along the way. Overall, it took me about 70 minutes to put Given how much my heart sank when I saw the instructions, I think that's not too bad. The video helped me deal with it in a way that I wouldn't have been able to. The ramp toys we've bought in the past have not been the best sellers in this house, so I was surprised when this order arrived. In spite of that, these ramps seem to stay together better, because they're more rigid. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to order. For the toy, it is 5 stars, but for the instructions, it's 1 star.

Despite the fact that my kids love Hot Wheels, I've noticed that they tend to get tired of them quickly and they only play with them under the couch or in corners. Here's the Matchbox Garage and now every car is in high demand. This has been a fabulous toy that has been regularly used for the past few weeks by my 2 and 4 year olds. Playing with this toy together appears to be a favorite of theirs, since it is one of the very few toys that they actually enjoy more As far as this purchase is concerned, I am very pleased. Then I will give you a few tips that hopefully will be of assistance to others. The assembly instructions are unnecessary - don't bother reading them This was made quite easy for me using a YouTube tutorial video. You just have to pause and play the video repeatedly until you get it down. As well, I noticed that the elevator did not work very smoothly Despite the fact that it went from bottom to top, there was a "click" in the middle. This "click" point was actually stopping a car from reaching the top of the elevator when it was loaded As the elevator hit that point, it would drop a half inch, you would go up, then go down, and so you would end up stuck at level 2 as you endlessly turned the dials. Initially, I was about to return it, but then I realized how much time and effort I put into the assembly, plus making sure the stickers aligned perfectly. In this case, I changed my mind and decided to fix the problem. It's safe to say that it's a straightforward If you wish to inspect the plastic rod for any imperfections in shape, just unscrew the elevator crank at the top, pull out the rod, and examine it. During the manufacturing process, there was a circle that stuck out a bit right at the midpoint, which I think was To smooth it out, I took a sharp knife to it and progressively shaved away the excess. Daddy was a hero after I put it back together, and the kids loved it when it worked again.

The pros are It is easy to use for my three-year-old and she loves it. The toy is also relatively compact for such a toy. ** * *Con This set includes a lot of parts, but the directions are awful and the picture on the box differs slightly from the part The back of the book is also not in color. It includes a picture list of every part (without a number scheme which will tell you which part goes where) and encourages you to put all 4 trillion (that's fine). You will need to apply about 50 stickers before you start assembling. The pieces were arranged by the factory and I had to assemble them myself just to figure out where they There are three kids under the age of five in our house, and these are the worst toy assembly instructions I've ever The good news is that you can do it if you have a glass of wine and an hour. And stop worrying about the fact that two stickers won't fit in the intended places and another two have a mistake on the back.

I bought this for my 5 year old son for Christmas to go with his extensive collection of Matchbox cars and Hot Wheels. It took me about 20 minutes to put it together I spent 30 minutes on the phone. Unlike other reviews, I found the instructions to be frustrating, so use the box as a reference. As of now, I haven't put the stickers on, but they appear to be easy and will make my room more appealing. A lift is included with the set, in addition to an elevator, gas pump, car wash and a section on paint and tools. A barrier is also present to allow your car to choose which track to follow. Since everything is powered by kid energy and imagination, there are no batteries to replace or annoying sounds to deal with. As you collect additional sets, you are able to connect There's nothing wrong with the product itself, but it would be nicer on carpet if it had a flat base. I have already carried it around, and it stayed put even when my son hauled it around. I found my son to be content to play alone, but he also loved playing with my husband and I. For the price, this toy is amazing! Only comes with one tow truck, but the cars multiply so quickly! Both Hot Wheels and Matchbox car sets work fine. Some Cars vehicles work as well. There is a thin piece of clear plastic as part of the car wash area, that is the only cheap or flimsy part.
