 My 5 year old loves this! |

| My son got this truck for his 5th birthday. So far, it seems to be durable. It does everything it's supposed to do (as seen on TV...). It has a ton of phrases and voice interaction- "Make a sound if you want me to dance". The price seems to be worth it. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone looking for a fun toy for a boy (or girl)! |
Great fun!

| I got this toy for my 5 year old but my 3 year old and 10 year old love it. It does a ton of different stuff, looks cool, and even though my boys have been given it a go - it has held up great. Seriously, a great gift or something for the kids. You won't be disappointed. |
BEWARE OF THE PACKAGING

I wanted to write a review on this product as a warning to everyone. We ordered this truck as a present for my 4-year old's birthday, upon careful inspection of the truck itself he really does enjoy it. BUT BEWARE OF THE PACKAGING!!! This is why, In trying to remove the toy from the box, I first took the tape off of the lid and opened the box, next I'm trying to get the piece of cardboard the truck is tied to out of the outside cardboard box (which of course is also taped together#. Upon finally getting the boxes separated I find on the bottom of the outside box #so it was in between the outside cardboard box and the piece of cardboard the truck actually sits on and is tied to) right along with the directions is a spring loaded box cutter (RAZOR BLADE AND ALL!). If I had opened the box from the bottom instead of the top) it would have been the first thing I had in my hands. The UPC code is 0027084740684, MFG PART 0002708474068, ALT SKU WI 8625, on the box cutter it says "MATOR-HANDY INDX #444, SOLINGEN GERMANY", P4458 is printed above the UPC, 23990F is the number actually pressed into the bottom of the box under the UPC. I would recommend that everyone open the bottom and potentially the top of the box and just make sure there's nothing extra in the packaging before wrapping it up and leaving your child to open it on his or her own on Christmas morning.

My 3-year old LOVES this truck!

| This is such a neat toy! It does everything you see in the commercial and has held up very well to some rough play. It dances, moves around and talks, and my 3-year old thinks it's the coolest truck in the world. His favorite part is when the truck stands up on its hind wheels and dances. It is a little more pricey here on this site (more reasonable locally) but seeing the joy in my son's face as he explores this robot truck has made it all worthwhile. Highly recommended! |
Son ignored it after 10 min

My 3.5 r old son just got this for the holidays. I thought it would be a big hit, but I was very wrong. He's not impressed with it's robot actions - the only one he likes is the dumping action. He then got his finger caught between the wheel and the wheel "flap?" (the rounded cover over the wheel) and could not get it out (my prediction - recall). Once we extricated him he turned it off and tried to play with it like a regular dump truck but even gave up on that because you have to fight the mechanics to do so - since it's motorized there is resistance when you try to move pieces manually since they're meant to be moved by a motor. I should have just gotten him an old school tonka dump truck for a lot less money and he would have been much happier. He has already told me that we can give this one "to charity for kids who don't have toys." I'm all for charity, but the $50 new toy was not my next planned donation....
I see reviews where kids like it but it's not for my kid. He'd rather move a truck around himself so he can go as fast/slow as he wants and control what it's doing and crash it without worrying if it's going to break. In his own words, he wants "a real dump truck toy." |
