This is one of my 4yr old son's favorite toys. Need I say more? The toy is all one piece that is what mom likes about it:)

Like others, I bought this toy b/c it resembles the Mystery Machine and my child loves Scooby & haunted houses. A great design overall with cute action & sounds...BUT almost every time the van goes through one of the turns, it gets lodged inside. You have to get it out with a hand or shake the toy to get it rolling again. If it didn't have the one catching place, it would go smoothly. This had an initial great 'wow' factor and my child was most excited opening it out of all their Christmas gifts, but soon tired of the van constantly getting stuck inside.

I'm a "Grown-Up" Toy and Game Enthusiast, and I can tell You with much confidence that this Playset is Destined to Become a Classic. It's simple, yet complex enough to keep anybody's attention... both Young and Old. It's made of the durable kind of plastic, not the cheap stuff that tends to crack or break if You sneeze too hard. The sound effects are right on target... not too loud, not too soft, and definitely not distorted. Some assembly is required, but it's very minimal and not a big deal... the only Hard part is unattaching it from the inside of the box... so take Your time with that part, as to not accidentally damage anything. Bottom line, this Playset is definitely worth Your hard earned Pasos. :)

I have a 2 1/2 year old who is just a nut about anything scary. He loves Halloween, ghosts, pumpkins, skeletons, bats...it's amazing. He's not the least bit scared. When my wife and I saw this matchbox set discounted at a toys-r-us before Christmas we knew he'd love it.

This is part of Matchbox's Hero City line and features a neat haunted house set-up as a car is elevated to the top, travels across a bridge held by a skeletal hand, then rotates inside the house and down a platform, then pivots and travels along it's way with a helpful shove from a ghost, all with spooky sounds playing. My son just loves it. It's eay to assemble and the only problem I found is that when it has to rotate in the upper room of the house, the mechanism sometimes becomes jammed but it's easily corrected.

A fun toy!

This is a good toy for kids who like scary sounds. My son is almost 7 and still plays with this toy. You don't have to be a genius to put it together like other brands.

Overall, Matchbox is much better quality than Hot Wheels. I won't even buy Hot Wheels anymore. I spent $50 on the T-Wrecks playset 2 Christmases ago and it was just a waste. The dumb dinosaur just kept falling over.
