Hot Wheels58; Sizzlers45; Extended Eight

Every kid should have one of these. We had them when we were kids, and its a shame sizzlers are out of production. I hope they become a mainstream toy again one day. I read a couple reviews where people complain about quality, the tracks snapping, the cars breaking... Well, parents, it's time to use this opportunity to teach your kids how NOT TO FORCE or ABUSE their toys. When I was growing up, my race cars would last seemingly forever, while my brother usually had his stuff destroyed within 24 hours or so. As a mattter of fact, he busted MOST of his stuff, no matter how solid the item/toy was. He would usually declare his innocence, insisting that he "didn't do anything; it just broke!" but over time he learned that toys were not designed to survive under battlefield conditions. This is a quality product, and your kids will love it as long as they play nice. The kids can break anything if they try (usually after they get bored with it, and then try to see how much punishment the toy can take). The problem with kids today is that they play video games and crash and abuse their "virtual" vehicles as much as the video game will allow, but all is fine again when they click "new game" or "reset". On REAL cars, their IS no reset button. Broken is broken. Oh, and maybe that's a good lesson for them to learn BEFORE they get their driver's license!!!!

You'd think that a product with "Mattel" and "Hot Wheels" on the box, you'd get quality. Nope. The track took nearly 45 minutes to assemble and that was mainly because the pieces didn't fit well at all. One piece cracked as it "clicked" into place as the instructions say. Once it was put together, the car was charged and rolled away on the track. It took two full charges to get it to go fast enough to make the jump and then it finally started zipping around the track... for about 60 seconds, maybe. After the fourth charge, it didn't go at all.Sum it up? Cheap plastic, ill fitting, short-lived junk. (Made in China in case you wonder...)I sure miss the nice durable toys of my youth!!! Hot Wheels was my favorite back then.

This is a great toy, but the only car that came with the set stopped working after just a few uses and it's very hard to find replacements: as of this writing Amazon wasn't selling individual cars, nor was even the Hot Wheels site. Very disappointing. Even if the one car worked, you would almost certainly want to be able to buy more cars to have an actual "race" correct??

I love sizzlers as much as when I was a kid..the jump in the middle is the only thing I would change..if it were a criss-cross like the original seventies version it would race better..

Got this for me to play with. I'm 44 years old and had Sizzlers when I was kid. My daughter and I love to play with his together. She wants a pink car. All the fun I remember rfom 34 years ago As far as an educational rating. I hadn't even thought about that aspect. But, we home school and I can use this as a great educational tool for physics education.

I am so happy with my purchase I would recommend this to everyone who likes to collect sizzlers.I can't wait to put my track together

I had this car set as a youngster in the 70’s. The vehicles had charging stations and those cars were FAST !!!! Sometimes too fast for the track 🤣! Mattel should have developed this technology.

Wow! We bought two of these sets for Christmas, and it's a RIOT! The kids have no trouble setting it up or setting up new track configurations. The cars just won't stop running and almost makes me dizzy (doesn't seem to bother the kids!). Even the adults who visit us have a blast with it (bunch of overgrown kids!).
