Do the Matchbox cars work with this garage? I'm a grandma who has been away from this stuff too long!

My grandsons have a collection of hot wheels and match box cars, it appears that the cars all work well on the garage.

Yes they can. They will roll down just fine. Our son shoves any one he can find down the track! :)

I tried many types of cars last week and the matchbox cars DO NOT work with the elevator lift--they just roll right out and fall. They only cars that seemed to work for us were the originals. Sorry my answer doesn't seem to match what others are saying...We tried it for hours!

Yes they do. It would make an awesome toy, though my son chose to start collecting these scale cars. I now have about 20. Great detail, the doors open on most models (but not all), and be aware that if they don't ask for a color preference, they will send you their choice.

We have over 40 cars and most of them do work (most were received when this track was received, but my son had about 10 cars prior to that). Even the cars that say "great for track" will fall off or may not completely go through the loop. The "Triple Track Twister" cars have what looks to be a plastic bottom so it makes them lighter. However, I think the only cars we haven't been able to work on any of the sets we have are the long, heavy cars and for some reason a convertible. Other than that most work well.

I bought 2 cars and the remotes are only paired with the car it came with. It will not intervene with each other. The remotes were paired right out of the box. Fast cars by the way! My boys love em!

I don't think so. I asked my 5 year old twins who love the Tomica sets - they both said no. They have a bunch of Tomica cars they use with this garage along with all their smAller hot wheels and matchbox cars. Larger hot wheels and matchbox - like SUVs - get stuck.

This works only with very small or micro cars. Standard matchbox won't fit through some sections and will fly off the track.

It does on the smaller cars and trucks. The wider or taller cars and trucks get stuck in the chute. The majority of the Matchbox cars fit but if they have big spoilers, exhaust pipes etc, those get stuck. Our grandson liked the Blastin Rig just to haul his cars around and didn't use the Blastin action much. I would buy it again as it's held up really well for a rough and tumble three year old boy.

Yes indeed! You can mix and match all of these sets. In fact, they are putting out some pretty cool sets that move (like cars, trucks, etc.)

Actually, it does. My grandson had match box cars and some of them did work. It was the lighter ones that worked. If the weight is too much, the mechanism isn't strong enough to push the cars up the track.

Those are standard HotWheel/Matchbox cars, standard size, the real ones. No fake.

I have found that all Hot Wheels brand cars work with this set... The cars from the Disney movie Cars seem to be a little wider and sometimes don't fit the track well. Hope this answers your question.

Sorry, I cannot provide an answer to your question. I purchased item for grandson who resides in Mexico. I have never actually seen the garage. My daughter has informed me our Grandson loves is and he does have matchbox & hotwheel vehicles of sorts!

Hmm, from what I found, the animals don't work well on the vehicle sets.... the different vehicles work across the vehicles sets and I'm sure the animals work across the animal sets.... but my children have one animal set- and one vehicle set (they have the garage).... and once in a while they will slide the animal around on the vehicle set, and (of course you can roll it along the tracks)... but it won't interact on the other set's "smart points"

It works w/ matchbox and other brands, too. It's more dependent on the size of the car.

Depends on your kid. If he loves cars then he will like this garage. If he doesn't play with cars very much he probably won't play with this garage.

the good thing about match box cars is that they are exact replicas of real cars... but no, their doors, hoods or trunks dont open, in my 20 car pack came an icecream truck that the back door opened... rear stuff

If it is a hot wheels slot car of the same scale and voltage it should work. I couldn't test any other slot cars with this. If you are looking for a matchbox car style track with a friction/gravity style of locomotion this is not what you are looking for. This has a small slot and two electrified rails for each car to pull electricity from which powers a small motor in the car.
