I read it only comes with one car. Does it use standard hot wheel cars or is it a special kind that I need to go run and get before Santa comes?

You can use any hotwheels car with set. Grandson loved this by the way. He still plays with it 1 year later.

This playset use hot wheel cars but not all models work properly. When I gave my son the playset, he already had more than 20 hot wheels cars and most of them ran without problem.

You get 4 engines and 5-6 cars plus a few other vehicles (a helicopter, a few automobiles and a semi-truck). You don't NEED a more, but if you want to buy more cheaply, Target has a bunch of train cars and engines for $3 each that we have (which is why I can't remember exactly how many cars you get.) Do yourself a favor and label each of the train tracks with the letter it is assigned in the instructions and photo copy the layout diagram and tape it into the bottom of the drawers. We love this table, but I spend a lot of time rebuilding the track

No sir, but my grandson has enjoyed it as is. He just turned 5 and still plays with it and his sister is 2 1/2 and plays with him and the train. I hope this helps you as I am glad I purchased the train. I have purchased all of the Toystate sets for him I have found, you see he likes trucks, construction toys, Monster Jam, and is now interested in Matchbox and diecast planes and his new bicycle from Santa.

You can buy these directly from the fisher price site (they only have the one from toy story avail now but they should be the same) https://store.mattel.com/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=140&item=60381 . Otherwise you can just find any SHORT car from Hot Wheels - the short ones work fine on it.

If you are referring to Fisher Price Wheelies cars, no. They are too big. Some Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars will work. I tried some of my old Micro Machines mini cars, but they aren't heavy enough and get stuck. And the cars have to be low-profile enough to clear through the Eifel Tower and Big Ben features at the bottom of the track. I picked up this item second-hand without the original cars and we've been struggling to find the perfect cars to use with this.

Hello BZ, Unfortunately, these cars come assorted and if you purchase from a seller who is using amazon to fulfill like myself then it is unlikely that Amazon will sort through all of the units to find the ones with the most rave cars. You can try to contact a seller who is not using amazon to fulfill the order. They may be able to dig through their inventory for you. I hope that helps. Regards, TradeIncSJ Customer Service Team

There is one controller for everything, with each car connecting to the one ahead of it, up to the locomotive. The connections are not just mechanical, they also connect the power that makes each car light up and operate (movement of elves and such).

Yes, it is really just one player, trying to get the red car out of the midst of a bunch of other cars by moving the cars back and forth as necessary until he/she has an opening to get the red car out. You might be able to adapt it for more than one player by seeing who could accomplish it in the shortest time, but the second person would have to wait until the first person had their red car out. It's fun!

I got this for a 2 year old, but my son is 13 and loves to play with it with the 2 year old. Just get extra cars so they don't have to retrieve the cars a lot. More cars is more fun.

any of the team hot wheels TCR Cars will do. just choose one you like! That's all.

Yes any hot wheels will work..it actually only comes with one car so you need to buy more cars. My 4 yr old puts random things in it and launches it also..like coins or plastic army men haha

I really don't know if you'd get the exact cars pictures every time, but even if you don't, you're getting 50 cars. And they are all different. My son is 3 and he was so excited to see all the individual packages spill out of the box. I opened them all and I'd say you get a pretty good variety, from specialty cars all the way to old school style hot wheels. My 5 yr. old daughter even found some she liked. I'd say it's a great starter kit.

You can push or use any cars that fit inside the track. The track is wide, so that should apply to most toy cars.

It has 4 standard tunes. Stock, 0 extra horses, Tow 60 extra horses, Street 120 and Hot is 160 I think, if I am remembering correctly. You can also get custom tunes. All this information is at the H&S; website. Different vehicles and years will have different options. Mine is a 2012 Ram Diesel. I hope this helps. By the way I really like the street tune, it really wakes it up. I also gained 3 MPG.

I originally purchased this item because it specifically said it worked with all hot wheels (I kept all of my 33 years old son's). When you keep the track straight there is no problem, but we added a loop feature and only some of the cars will make it around the loop and continue to the end of the track. My grandson still loves it, he is 21/2 years old and he just knows some of the cars won't go around but others do.

Any hotwheel will go on the track but to keep them going and going you need lighter longer cars. I think some five pack expressly say track on them. But 5 packs like the farrari five pack or exotic five pack should work well.

I've since boxed it up and returned it, but if memory serves: it's mostly squares, some rounded triangles, 2 isosceles triangles, a couple large rectangles, 5 or so small rectangles, and 3 sets of wheels -- one motorized which didn't work in our set (hence the return). It also had 2 squares with "riders" in them -- little action figures who "drive" the car. They are attached to their squares.
