They LOVED it!
on August 20, 2016
Posted by: KidsPlayParent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] - Let me just start by saying that I have 2 kids, ages 4 and 9. As any parent of multiples knows, it can be extremely difficult to find toys that appeal to all of them, especially with big age differences. This one however, kept BOTH of mine occupied and engaged (Score!).
- I let my 9 year old open it and put it together. He said the directions were easy to read, and it took him maybe 10 minutes to finish (his 4 year old brother wanted to "help").
- The toy is very simple and easy to operate. You decide which track you want the Minecart to go on, aim the ramp, pull back the launcher and let it go. The only recommendation that I have, would be to add a larger loop onto the end of the launcher, as it can be a little tougher to pull back and lock into place. It is definitely not impossible to be able to do, however adding a larger loop to grip while pulling it back would add a little more ease, especially for little hands. Besides that, everything else is great!
- Both of my kids' favorite part of the toy (besides the fact that it is Hot Wheels AND Minecraft :) is the loop, although the Minecart crashing into the ghast caused quite a bit of laughter as well. We also like how the Minecart is designed to keep the mini-figure in while it goes around the track. It looks like you can attach Hot Wheels tracks to the set as well, and it is also compatible with regular Hot Wheels cars.
- This set is definitely something that I would purchase, for my own kids or as a gift. Two thumbs up from our family!

Pros: High quality, easy to use for multiple ages
Cons: could use a larger grip on the launcher

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My four year old was really excited when he noticed a new Minecraft toy! He helped set it all up, and explored the characters he recognized from playing the game. It was easy to assemble and kept him busy playing for hours. The only downfall was that the launcher was a bit too hard for him to pull back the whole way.
Pros: High quality
Cons: launcher a bit too hard to pull all the way back.

Hours Of FUN!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our four older kiddos (ages 11, 9, 6, and 4) were super excited when the Minecraft Hot Wheels Ghast Attack Track Playset showed up on our doorstep. I handed the box over to the kids and our 9 year old read the instructions and assembled completely on his own in less than 10 minutes.
Then, it was time to test it out. The kids spent hours launching the minecart around the track as well as into the Ghast. They absolutely loved when the head pops up! Such a fun feature!
The track stays together well, which makes it easy to move. The kids love it so much that they've been taking it from room to room with them as well as out to the patio when we go outside to play.
My favorite part of this set is the fact that the kids are able to use the included minecart as well as their Hotwheels cars so they have enjoyed testing out how different vehicles react on the launcher.
Overall, super fun toy! Enthusiastic thumbs up all around our house!
Pros: High quality, engaging

Fun toy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The track playset is a fun toy. It took me about 10 minutes to assemble the track. My son was excited to launch the minecart into the loop but we had trouble getting enough speed to do the whole loop at first. I figured it out that you need to do 2 notches to get more speed.
First you launch the minecart twice thru the loop to get the ghast to open its eyes and mouth. Once the mouth opens, then you switch the launcher to aim at the mouth and make it pry open. My son was entertained for quite some time.
You could also launch other hot wheels cars.

Pros: High quality, good packaging. easy to open the box

Such A Fun Toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fun toy! My husband and son had a blast putting this together (although it is simple enough that I bet my son could put it together on his own now). My 4 year old's favorite part is hitting the ghast! He also loves the big loop! I would definitely recommend this toy!
Pros: High quality, keeps kids entertained, the aiming and shooting works on gross motor skill
I would recommend this to a friend!

innovative track toy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Mincraft Hotwheels Ghast Attack is an original track toy. It was easy enough to put together and the three step play system is innovative and fun. My 3 and 4 year old do have a little trouble pulling the launch device back, but they manage. My youngest loves setting it up for the next round of play, and he does so easily. The included car does not always perform perfectly but my boys did not mind and did not get frustrated, they just laughed it off and tried again. This toy holds my children's attention, and is compact enough to travel with us. I would recommend this toy to friends.
Pros: Durable, High quality, innovative, portable
Cons: difficult for little hands
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best of both worlds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow it took my 5 year old grandson 20 minutes to put this together. I was a bit nervous because there are no written directions just pictures but I think he enjoyed putting it together as much as playing. He loves minecraft toys and hot wheels and this toy is the best of both! It took him a couple of practice runs to get the minecraft vehicle up and all the way thru but once he got the hang of it he was all giggles! His 3 year old brother was also intrigued and wanted to have a turn as well. The rubber band pulley to shoot the car was safe and each run would vary as far as distance, speed and outcome so it held his interest for quite some time. The other great thing about this set is you can add additional hot wheel track to really extend the play time. Helps with coordination too!
Pros: Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!
