Dinosaur Train - Collectible Dinosaur Train With Lights And Sounds

My 3 and 5 year olds love this train! The train is ok quality- not as nice solid as Geotrax but i'm not too concerned about it breaking. Sadly it is just the right size to not be compatable with our Geotrax set (we do have a tunnel that it mostly fits through- if Laura the Giganotasaurus gets off) so they like using that as a time tunnel. The train says a few phrases and lights up when it goes through the time tunnel. Not too load or obnoxious. The cars are easy for a little one to connect/ disconnect but as a result don't hold together well if you want to pick up the whole thing. The figures are ok quality and have nice detail (very true to the show) BUT they don't all stand well on thier own- esp on a moving train. They have a hole in thier feet and a matching "peg" in the train cars- but the hole in the foot is too small! GAH!!! The kids don't care doesn't care but I'm a bit dissappointed. I got it at the store with the giraffe mascot for $[...] We also got some train car/ figure...Read more

I pre-ordered this for my 2 1/2 year old twins who love this show. It arrived last week, and I'm very dissapointed. The train is surprisingly small for a cartoon aimed at young children. It's also cheaply made. The top piece of the engine fell off immediately and won't stay on. The cars don't connect well. They have enjoyed playing with it, but I doubt it will last through the month.

Most exciting feature of this product is that when my child presses the smoke stack, it provides great sounds: the conducter saying, "Time tunnel; next stop the cretaceous time period, etc," as well as part of the Dinosaur Train theme song. Hoping this feature will last as long as the toy does - won't become inaudible over time.

The trains are easy for my 4-year old to remove and attach without constantly coming apart; so, that's nice. It's a good toy for the price. My son loves it (took it to preschool to show his teacher and friends). As I have mentioned in other reviews, the action figures do not stand up (or stay standing up) very well and can be very frustrating, but there's no other options out there (not interested in interactive dinos or plush ones).
