is this a reliable diecast. Does it come with lots of missing parts?

All the parts are there. It's a solid metal body. The ladder only goes two of the three flights up, the ladder deck has to be loosened to move and if you try raising the flights be careful of the smaller pieces on the ladder.

It's pretty reliable. I have a lot of models from the same collection and all of them came with no missing parts.

I've had no problem getting repladement parts. Check with your local hobby shop or the vendor your purchasing it from

It seems brand new to me. I still think it is a bargain genuine toyota part. Everything is included. I am very happy. And the shipping was extremely fast!

It's plastic, but very high qualty . The detail and paint job is on par with that of a diecast model.

I think if I just purchased this toy I would return it for a replacement.I bought this from Amazon and the package was sealed and complete.There should be no missing parts.Other than contacting Radio Flyer I don't know where you might find the missing part.

First, was it put together correctly using the pictures in the accompanying literature? Also check the literature for Corolle CO. or go online to find some info. Other than that, I have on idea.

It is not cheaply made. It's high quality die cast and plastic. Every single person that has held it that I've met has said "oh wow, it's a lot heavier than I thought It'd be.

The 1st answer by Dean is accurate and all you need to know. The 3 die set is all you'll need

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.

Yes, in theory this kit contains the correct repair diode, but requires un-soldering the old diode and then re-soldering the new diode. Additionally the front v-belt pulley needs to be removed requiring in most cases an impact driver. I found the 4 bolts that hold the alternator's body together rusted together and sheared 3 of the 4 bolts, requiring drilling and tapping and the new bolts where metric and long (special order at McMaster Carr $12). While your at it the kit contains the two new bearings to renew the old warn bearings, but you need a bearing press. I bought the kit and then spent about 6 hours rebuilding my 20 year old alternator. I'm a master mechanic with and engineering degree and 35 years of machine design and building experience. I ended up buying a "factory rebuilt alternator" which with the discount and refund of the core charge cost me only $75. Next time I'm going with the "factory rebuild" and skipping the kit rebuild. Life is just too short to save $28 with 6 hours of work. Good luck, and best regards!

I bought this in June. I had no problems and no missing parts. We loaded it with a travel pod full of camping equipment and drove 3000 miles.

It's not a very hard build. That is, not a lot of pieces. It's Revell so expect a few parts to need extra attention. Models are not for the impatient. Stick with Snaptite.

I have not had to find parts for this truck. However, my experience with missing or lost parts is to contact the manufacturer. I concur the the other answer.

Yes it comes with two cars and everything to start playing right out of the box!

Yes it does include the motor it is ready to install out of the box and I might add that it is better than the original that came with your car and to save yourself some future trouble you should change both driver and passenger sides at the same time

The one I bought didn't work well at all. I sent it back within a few days and was given a refund. You could see if a hobby store would want it for parts.
