3 Stars for the Fisher-Price Shake 'n Go Spinout Speedway
580717
The Fisher-Price Shake 'n Go Spinout Speedway is bright and the cars are a bit chunky which is perfect for gripping with little hands.

The track is two levels - assemble the track, install the batteries (not included), shake the cars and you're ready to go!

The track comes with two cars so one or more kids (big and small) can sent the cars flying around the track. Once you give the cars a good shake, set them on the starting line and off they go!

The assembly is easy to do and really doesn't take anytime at all. The track itself isn't the best when it comes to being sturdy, but it's not too bad either. It's durable enough that it should last a good while, so that's a plus too.

The cars running around the track had the kids cheering and loving it.

From what I've read not all shake 'n go cars will fit this track. I'm guessing they are just too large to fit, yet there are some that would work perfectly well to change things up a bit.

So far so good and tons of fun with this track for all ages. Would be a fun and great gift this holiday season.

my grandson has enjoyed it along with race car track,  i personally thought it was over priced for such a small car,

It's okay.. It's not a horrible product but it doesn't get my five star vote because when the cars go down they are so slow and sometimes get stuck. I prefer the other fisher price little people track better because you can race two cars at the same time and they go super fast. This track is nice for pretend play but definitely not for racing cars to see which one is the fastest.

My 3 year old son is a Hot Wheels fanatic, so I decided to purchase this launching garage for him. He's connected it to some other tracks he has, but this one is his least favorite. Nothing really exciting about it. It would be awesome if it was battery operated and spun and launched on its own after being loaded with cars.

It is hard to imagine that this was made by Fischer Price.  I guess slapping on the Mickey Mouse name to this justifies the low quality.  First, the track doesn't stay together very well at all.  The cars need to be revved up everytime they go around the track, and the cars themselves don't work particularly well.

We've owned two of them, as one of them didn't work coming out of the box, as we were putting it together for my son's birthday.  The second one works, but it's one of those toys where you should take a picture of it working on the first day, cause it will quickly deteriorate quickly.

I found a similar product at the dollar store with a finding Dory theme for $1. t is a bit overpricing but good for keeping a child busy especially one who loves Cars.

This is one of those toys that kids will play with for 10-15 minutes at a time, then move on.  When you get this, you will get a sheet (not a board) of glow paper that you 'write' on with the glow pen.  My biggest issue with this is it should be a board or attached to a board.  Maybe that is a separate piece, I don't know.

I purchased two (for my four year old and five year old) and got this as a gold box deal, so for the money, I think this toy was a decent value, but having seen it, I would not spend the regular price for this toy.

I bought this for my son's first birthday, and it has hardly been used (currently 19 months).  You have to hold it exactly right for the corn to pop and they don't pop very well.  The best feature is the spinning combine part but he can't see that as he pushes it.  He'd spin it on the floor for a bit and then get board.  Buy the old fashioned Fisher Price kind!

Thought with the name "Fisher-Price" I couldn't go wrong.  The little basket doesn't stay in place.  Falls off easily.  The seat has storage but the lid doesn't open all the way up to put things in it.  Also the seat doesn't stay open for easy access. Cute.  But would I purchase this again for another gift, gotta say No on that one.  It does have a button to push with sound. (trying to look at the positive)

OK, I should probably preface this review by stating that I really didn't have very high expectations for this car and racetrack. My first impression upon looking at it was that this would be a cheap toy with very limited replayability. After trying it out, I can safely say that my assumptions were accurate. This IS NOT a great toy. This IS NOT a terrible toy. It is somewhere in the middle and you need to be aware of what you are buying before you plunk down the cash for it. Here's my summary of the pros and cons of this product:

PROS:

1. This product looks cool and really isn't all that hard to put together.

2. This product is expandable. It can be combined with other similar products to create a larger racing field/track.

3. This is a pretty safe toy. I don't see it as being dangerous to kids, furniture, toys, or pets.

4. Although it is made from cheap plastics, this toy is as durable as it needs to be. As long as your kids aren't throwing it around or stepping on it, I don't think breakage will be an issue. If your kids are demolition experts and routinely break toys, this one won't last more than a day or two.

5. While it is not completely idiot proof, this isn't a hard toy to use and it is a pretty contained entry into the world of RC cars for a kid to try out.

CONS:

1. The price on this item is too high, in my opinion. I think a reduction of around 25% off the MSRP cost is about where it should be at.

2. As several other reviewers have mentioned, the decals that come with this set are a bit difficult to take off the sheet and apply.

3. The battery life on the little car is pretty short. Be glad it is rechargeable!

4. The battery life on the control stick is also very short if you are using this toy a lot.

5. This toy is not going to be running in circles around the track like you picture in your head. The wheels do not turn and there is no way to steer the car. It is basically a chaotic bumper car that is kept on the track (most of the time) by the short walls and gravity. It ricochets around the track more than drives in circles around it.

6. As with most any indoor race track, this toy is going to take up a fairly large footprint in any room. It's too big to fit on shelves and most dresser tops, so it's going to be lying on the floor. This is fine if you have a large playroom or basement for the kids to play in. If, however, you are limited to a small amount of space on a bedroom floor, you probably won't want this obstacle in your walkway.

7. This toy has very limited replayability. The shine comes off of it very quickly. For me, this is its biggest disadvantage. When I purchase toys for my kids, I want them to be toys that will hold their interest for quite some time. I don't feel that this toy is worth the investment for the limited time that it will interest your kids.

This toy is what it is. It's not for everyone. Some will like it, some will feel like they wasted their money. Choose wisely!

Putting this trike together takes about 45 minutes. It wasn't difficult but theres a lot of parts and stickers. Also, youll need a small hammer or a rubber mallet. The construction is pretty cheap and rideability is just okay. The wheels spin out occasionally, especially on slick surfaces but it does better on rough surfaces where the wheels can get some traction. The lid to the container on top doesnt stay on at all. Eventually I just kept it off because I got tired of re-attaching it. Also, many of the stickers started to unpeel almost immediately. Lastly, the sounds effects are VERY loud. When used indoors it was unbearable and I had to remove the batteries which is too bad because my two year old does enjoy them. A volume setting would have been great. In spite of my complaints, my boy has fun on it and rides it up and down the street and inside the house.

This was one of my son's very first Thomas toys. It's a knock off but the bump 'n go feature really helped because he was still a baby when he had it so he couldn't control it yet. But the very loud sound and flashing lights scared him at first. The plastic is a bit brittle and the connector at the wheels was the first to go. But overall a fun toy. This video demo helped http://youtu.be/eG76cQzkQI4

Bought mine at toys r us for $20.

The funnel light is a small red dot.... not what I expected at all.
It goes straight, or reverse-clockwise.
My kids like it but it frustrates them because of how easy it is to get stuck. The remote won't work after what seems to be about 10-12 feet or so....

Requires 5 AA batteries (not included)

For 20 bucks, its a cool toy, as long as your kids have plenty of room. Hardwood floors work well, but not so great on carpet. Maybe our carpet is on the thicker side, but it does not want to go travel on it at all.

They could and should make a better heavier duty version and could easily sell it for about 50 bucks considering everything "thomas" is kinda expensive.

I had ordered just the Track Builder Starter Set, but, like other Vine reviewers, we received additional sets, so my review will cover most of them as well.

My first reaction was the ease of assembly -- even by my almost three and almost five year old grandsons.  My son, their father, with his past experience in assembling older Hot Wheels tracks, was full of praise for the new style tracks and connections.  In his words, Mattel should win some sort of toy award for the new design which eliminates the high-friction connectors that were so hard for little hands to master and which loosened over time.  We were also impressed with the design of the tower, with its racing flag at the end that eliminates any arguments as to whose car was the fastest.  The yellow hoop at the end didn't elicit as much interest and was shortly put aside, but the tower that launches a soft-tipped jet was, and is, a real winner.

We agreed that the "essential curve pack" was a nice concept, but with disappointing execution  -- the curves being much too frail to hold up to the stress.  Its reliance on the rubber band is a mistake since its elasticity fails quickly and there are no replacements included.  The additional straight track pieces with the newer connections, as mentioned above, are a good addition, but I would not recommend this particular set as a whole.

The track builder essentials launch pack, although relying as well on a rubber band, has a "kicker" launcher -- a nice sturdy design with a significant speed boost ability and a green "bridge" that prevents a speed-boosted car from leaving the launcher.  Despite the rubber band weakness, I think it's a good addition to the set.

The track builder daredevil drop is a nice looking track addition.  Once a car is placed at the top of the drop, a passing car will release it.  If the passing car is fast enough, the dropping car will miss it and can continue a bit on its own track, but they will crash if it's too slow.  That's about it, so if the concept sounds appealing, it's a nice addition.

The crossroad crash is also a nice addition, but don't be misled by the box.  But the jump works well and is recommended as a nice addition.

Another misleading box cover is the triple blast alley.  The launched objects are three thin discs with only enough decals to cover one side. The discs failed to launch most of the time and, instead, stopped or slowed down the cars.  Not much fun there!  Again, rubber bands are used.

In my opinion, the best of the bunch is the track builder rocket launcher -- a fun, inexpensive and reliable addition to a Hot Wheels track setup -- a real winner!  It launches reliably, although it does slow down the car, so placement at the end is recommended.  Also, the soft tip was proven to be soft enough not to do injury -- don't ask!

As others pointed out, this  is not as good as the old school heavy duty kind I remember having as a kid, but for the price it was a good deal and my almost 2 year old daughter loves it so I would still recommend this sit 'n spin.

Would rate it as a solid OK. It has good elements like lights that stay on in the truck so you know your son has left it switched on. But performance was mediocre. Had a sticky front wheel that does not spin freely so causes the truck to only turn one way and spinout if you turn toward the side that sticks. Tried losening it up but it is what it is.

Did not expect a whole lot at this price point but not sure I would say it was a great value.

On a side note - 4 e-mails from the company pursuing and then (and a first for my amazon purchases) a phone call ensuring I leave feedback. Of my 400 amazon orders this year - this is a first and I am not sure necessary for a toy truck.
