Awesome monster truck addition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My sons' eyes lit up when they saw the box for this toy. They immediately got to work putting it together and then played for a couple hours off and on during the day, even having their cousins come over to play with it. They were enthralled by the giant gorilla and how he reacts to trucks hitting him and they giggled at his underwear. The monster truck that the set came with was different from ones they've seen before and they immediately argued over who got to use it. This is a great addition to other monster truck sets that they have.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great toy for monster truck lovers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great toy. My five year old son loves this. It was easy to assemble. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is due to how loud it is when the gorilla pops open. When you launch the trucks it’s also pretty loud when they hit our hard floors. There are a lot of moving pieces to ramp or fly the trucks off of. This is NOT a small toy. It kept my kids busy for hours. Nice that it comes with 1 monster truck and 1 smaller car. Although for households with more than one kid you may need to have other trucks.

Interesting toy, but not right for everybody

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son found this fun, however it did not hold his interest for a very long time. There are multiple ways to llay with it and he enjoyed having the monkey guy eat the cars and then smash the monster truck into it. I found he did not use the monster truck launchers all that much, instead he would just use his hands to push his truck around. He enjoyed making the monkey fall onto the stadium seats and crash. I noticed that it was difficult to get the truck to launch through the tire unless either launcher was pushed just right, which led to some frustration for my son. Also putting the stadium seats back together so they sit just right was sometimes a challenge for him. As far as from a parent stand point of putting it together, i felt the instructions could have been a little more detailed. Sometimes trying to figure out what the picture meant as far as where something went was not the easiest. Overall i believe it is a good product, just not necessarily the best playset for the monster trucks.

Great raucous free play car set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Arena Smashers is not your typical car track. It is a free play, catapult, wrecking, smashing free for all and my 6 year old loves it! I was a little hesitant after building it because it isn't what he's used to with a car track but he immediately started flinging his truck and using his imagination to fight the King Kong in the middle. The set comes with 1 monster truck and 2 plastic car molds that can be used with the set. The downside of the set is that it is very difficult to build. The stickers are a one shot deal so place them carefully. The directions are a little confusing and some pieces require a little more muscle than usual to snap together. However another upside is that it does not require any batteries!

Loads of hot wheels fun!
on July 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is big, it is entertaining and everything you expect from Hot Wheels. My child loved it. Assembly was straightforward, lots of plastic parts but it was easy. My child loved helping me find the specific parts and click it together. Stickers were easy to apply and a nice easy to follow direction booklet. The monster swings and makes noise as you try to launch cars through the tire. The launching part was the only area I would say my child had some difficulties. The monster is wearing underwear and my child thought that was hilarious, it was a funny touch. Another fun feature is this toy comes with a giant hot wheels car/monster truck. This was a big hit at our house! It is a big item, taking up a good amount of space but it is well utilized and loved at our home. It’s a great addition to anyone who loves hot wheels!

100 stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son said he would like to give this “100 stars”! Not too hard to put together and my 6 year-old put most of it together by himself. I do dread putting all the stickers on but there weren’t too many and they were all clearly labeled. Cleverly designed.

Just like having a monster truck show in your home

from Pearl, MS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product arrived in a timely manner and it looks exactly like it does online. The instructions for assembly are clear and pretty easy to follow. It took my and my eldest son about 10 minutes to put it all together. My 4 year old (won the toy is intended for) enjoyed playing with it and now I have to buy him more Hot Wheels monster trucks and/or cars to make fun more enjoyable lol. The only thing I don’t like is how flimsy the stickers are. All in all, it’s a good toy with quick assembly and fun action to keep my little one entertained.

Great playset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome playset!! This playset held my sons attention for hours. He loves trying to shoot the trucks through the wheel. It also came with a truck he didn't have so that was a huge hit! Very easy to assemble.
