Dreadful Quality - do not buy., 06 Oct 2008
We bought this set for our 'Cars' mad son last Christmas and I can hand on heart say this has been the worst quality toy we have ever bought him. It literally falls apart and will not stay together. It is very flimsy and totally unplayable.
I felt compelled to write this review as my son has seen this advertised on tv in the run up to this Christmas again and I would hate to see anyone else wasting their money or ending up with a disappointed child.
Please buy something else. You will regret this purchase.
poor planning, 28 Mar 2008
This toy had the potential to be great, through eihter shoddy workmanship or poor testing it is a big het down. I thought that the price was a little high but my son adores all his other Cars toys, most of which have been quite robust and lots of fun, so i thought that for the price this would be brilliant. On opening this at christmas the main problem was clear, the twist lock to close the trailer is usless. My son has played with this as the race track/road combo but gets very frustrated that as a truck and trailer it just won't stay together. this is the secon worst waste of money after our bob the builder sun flower valley playset! my son has had much more fun with the smaller mac truck which stays together and after much use is still lke new!
Do not waste your money on this toy!!, 16 Mar 2008
Our boys were extremely excited about this toy, so it was very sad when this toy was found to be extremely poorly constructed. The lorry trailer section never closes properly and the parts are flimsy and poorly designed. We thought that for the money this was going to be a perfect Christmas present, and in the end we just binned it after much frustration.
Please do not waste you money on this. I noticed another review has given this 5 stars. I can't believe this a review of the same toy.
Aaargh!!, 06 Feb 2008
What a load of rubbish! I have to agree with most of the other reviewers that this is so fiddly. My son plays with this for five minutes, gets bored and leaves me to wrestle with it for half an hour trying to put it together. This is the first review that I have ever written for Amazon but I feel so strongly about this product that I don't want anyone else to waste their money like I have.
Not much Fun!, 17 Jan 2008
As with other reviewers, not impressed at all. Got for my three year old for Christmas, thought it would be a really playworthy toy but not at all! If he didn't notice it missing I'd take it back for refund. Luckily got cheap (£34) but seriously not worth it. Hard work to put together, doesn't close up properly and labels are coming away at the side. Best left, he's more impressed with the die cast cars I get for £3!!!!

Fantastic Play Value & Excellent Value for Money!, 26 Nov 2008
The WOW toys are a great invention. We first came across them in a garden centre about 5 years ago. We then discovered more in the range and have kept acquiring them. My daughter loves Katie's caravan as much as she did when she was 2 - she is now nearly 8!
My son's favourite is the new Combine Harvester and they both fight over the Ambulance on a regular basis! The toys don't need batteries. If you run them a lot on carpets, they do get dust behind the wheels and if you clear this out the friction push and go effect is restored.
Some of the toys can go in the bath - and all of the people are great for bathtime fun.
With encouragement and imagination - these toys can give hours of amusement and fun! We love them.
On holiday, we take a basket of these toys and they last both the 4 and 7 year old all week! Much easier than taking different toys for each child.
Unlike most of my children's toys, I will definitely be keeping the WOW range for future grandchildren!
Best birthday present!, 02 Nov 2008
My little girl was sent this by a relative for her 2nd birthday. It tuned oput to be her favourite present by miles. She loves it so much she takes it to bed with her! Lots of scope for imaginative play and storytelling with the characters and pieces provided. Very sturdy and well built.
A really great toy, 21 Oct 2008
WOW, why can't all toys be this good!
Whoever designed it did a great job! It's really well made (has been thrown across the floor on a few occasions and survived intact), the friction mechanism is amazing (it travels for miles) and, best of all, there are just so many parts to it, it keeps kids entertained for hours (20 month old, 4 & 6 year old all happily play with it). If there was a battle between this and Fisher Price Little People toys, this wins hands down.. I just wish I had come across Wow toys before.
fun, imaginative and no batteries needed!, 01 Oct 2008
My daughter received this for her second birthday and it is absolutely brilliant. It amazed me how much she used and developed her imagination with these toys. They are bright and engaging and are suitable for both girls and boys. She'll be getting a few more WOW toys for Christmas!
Lots of fun and durable. , 01 Apr 2008
WOW toys seem to make unusual toys that go down really well with both my 4 1/2 year old son and his 2 year old sister.
The camper van is a great size (a little over a foot in length) and is jam-packed with clever detailing. There are 3 opening doors: the perspex driver's windshield, the side of the van (which provides a seating area when opened) and the rear end (which is opened with a satisfyingly finger-sized button). Inside are sculpted sleeping and cooking areas, all brightly coloured.
There are a wealth of accessories for such a small toy. I won't list them here, you can see them for yourself in the product photo. My children are especially taken with the dog and his sleeping/eating accessories. Children generally find animals fascinating and WOW regularly add some animal element to their toys which fires children's narrative imagination far more than a simple transport toy alone could ever do.
Highly recommended for long-lasting entertainment value.

Falk - Ford + Trailer (Sit and Ride)
I bought this toy for my son's first birthday based on the previous review. I just wanted to say I couldn't agree more with the gentleman's comments. This is a really sturdy toy and ideal for little people as it doesn't tip over easily. My son likes to use it like a walker at the moment (his feet don't quite touch the floor on it yet so he can't get around while sat on it without assistance) and really enjoys pushing it about and beeping the horn. Alternatively mum or dad can push him around which absolutely delights him. I am really pleased I purchased it and believe it is fantastic value for money. The only con is that you need quite a bit of space available for manouevre, especially if you are using the trailer as well. All in all a fantastic toy.
Good fun tractor, 13 Sep 2007
I bought this for my grandson in June this year. He is a big boy and fitted on to this tractor straight away. It provides him with lots of fun and he associates it with a real Ford tractor. I think that this association is important. I will be buying more branded type lorries and tractors as time goes on. Simple types first more complex ones later on. Honest, they are for him.
This tractor is very simple to assemble. A sturdy toy, which I feel will be passed on once he has outgrown it. Amazon pricing was unbeatable as was their delivery.

Product Description
Recycling has never been so much fun! Fred is your friendly recycling truck, use his bucket to tip waste into the truck or sort the bins and flip them into the rear. Drive off using his powerful friction motor with realistic engine sounds. Watch the automatic waste crusher spin then slide open the clicking door to empty the truck. Three different recycle bins, a boy and girl recycling team and a sturdy carry handle complete this great role-play set. 2 - 5 Years

Wow......, 23 Nov 2008
Another superb toy from Wow!
Our 2 year old grandson had this given him on his birthday.It was a total hit from the word go. The novelty of sorting the recycling, collecting it and loading up the truck gives him constant pleasure and keeps him amused for hours.
I thought nothing could surpass his love for Ernie the fire truck but this delightful toy could do just that.
As with all the Wow toys this is really well made and beautifully designed.
I cannot understand anyone buying anything but Wow toys - no batteries needed!
We love it!, 07 Nov 2008
I bought this toy for my son's 2nd birthday. We love the scale of the vehicle and the fact that it comes with little figures. My son was bored with the larger scale toddler vehicles, but not quite ready for the matchbox style ones, so this range is perfect!
There are moving parts and lots of detail which keeps the kids occupied for hours. The recycling theme has caught the imagination of my 4 year old daughter, who has started to help sort our rubbish!
Brilliant for 1s to 2s, 06 Sep 2008
This toy is brilliant - all our grandchildren have enjoyed playing with it, from pushing it around - with a satisfying sound, to putting in the dustbins, tipping them out, lifting the door and starting again.

I bought this toy for my son's first birthday based on the previous review. I just wanted to say I couldn't agree more with the gentleman's comments. This is a really sturdy toy and ideal for little people as it doesn't tip over easily. My son likes to use it like a walker at the moment (his feet don't quite touch the floor on it yet so he can't get around while sat on it without assistance) and really enjoys pushing it about and beeping the horn. Alternatively mum or dad can push him around which absolutely delights him. I am really pleased I purchased it and believe it is fantastic value for money. The only con is that you need quite a bit of space available for manouevre, especially if you are using the trailer as well. All in all a fantastic toy.
Good fun tractor, 13 Sep 2007
I bought this for my grandson in June this year. He is a big boy and fitted on to this tractor straight away. It provides him with lots of fun and he associates it with a real Ford tractor. I think that this association is important. I will be buying more branded type lorries and tractors as time goes on. Simple types first more complex ones later on. Honest, they are for him.
This tractor is very simple to assemble. A sturdy toy, which I feel will be passed on once he has outgrown it. Amazon pricing was unbeatable as was their delivery.
Wow......, 23 Nov 2008
Another superb toy from Wow!
Our 2 year old grandson had this given him on his birthday.It was a total hit from the word go. The novelty of sorting the recycling, collecting it and loading up the truck gives him constant pleasure and keeps him amused for hours.
I thought nothing could surpass his love for Ernie the fire truck but this delightful toy could do just that.
As with all the Wow toys this is really well made and beautifully designed.
I cannot understand anyone buying anything but Wow toys - no batteries needed!
We love it!, 07 Nov 2008
I bought this toy for my son's 2nd birthday. We love the scale of the vehicle and the fact that it comes with little figures. My son was bored with the larger scale toddler vehicles, but not quite ready for the matchbox style ones, so this range is perfect!
There are moving parts and lots of detail which keeps the kids occupied for hours. The recycling theme has caught the imagination of my 4 year old daughter, who has started to help sort our rubbish!
Brilliant for 1s to 2s, 06 Sep 2008
This toy is brilliant - all our grandchildren have enjoyed playing with it, from pushing it around - with a satisfying sound, to putting in the dustbins, tipping them out, lifting the door and starting again.
Not happy with product, 26 Nov 2008
I ordered this item but was found it of very poor quality, the detail was good but it was not strong enough or sturdy enough and I cannot imagine it lasting two minutes with any normal three year old. I returned the item, the company that supplied the product, Top Mark Toys, were excellent, they responded immediately and refunded my money.
Exciting for all ages!, 07 Aug 2008
I was nearly as excited as my 2 year old when this arrived - what a great looking toy with easy mechanicals even for younger kids. I/we are now tempted by so many others in the range but would need a bigger house to cope!
Indestructible, 06 Dec 2006
When my son was approaching two, this was the only thing he wanted. Took me ages to find it... and when it arrived I thought it didn't look very sturdy. How wrong I was! He's nearly six now. Won't let us throw it away, still very attached to it and it's still perfect. He's not particularly gentle on toys. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a "big yellow truck with a scoop on the front and a digger on the back".
A great little digger, 09 Sep 2005
Beautifully detailed digger yet durable enough to pass the garden soil test, worked alongside the Bruder Actos Dumper Truck, my 3 year old son would tell you they are WOW!!! We now have our own mini M25 running from the back door to the greenhouse, all built using the Backhoe loader and dumper truck. Thoroughly recommended by me, and my boy.

Dreadful Quality - do not buy., 06 Oct 2008
We bought this set for our 'Cars' mad son last Christmas and I can hand on heart say this has been the worst quality toy we have ever bought him. It literally falls apart and will not stay together. It is very flimsy and totally unplayable.
I felt compelled to write this review as my son has seen this advertised on tv in the run up to this Christmas again and I would hate to see anyone else wasting their money or ending up with a disappointed child.
Please buy something else. You will regret this purchase.
poor planning, 28 Mar 2008
This toy had the potential to be great, through eihter shoddy workmanship or poor testing it is a big het down. I thought that the price was a little high but my son adores all his other Cars toys, most of which have been quite robust and lots of fun, so i thought that for the price this would be brilliant. On opening this at christmas the main problem was clear, the twist lock to close the trailer is usless. My son has played with this as the race track/road combo but gets very frustrated that as a truck and trailer it just won't stay together. this is the secon worst waste of money after our bob the builder sun flower valley playset! my son has had much more fun with the smaller mac truck which stays together and after much use is still lke new!
Do not waste your money on this toy!!, 16 Mar 2008
Our boys were extremely excited about this toy, so it was very sad when this toy was found to be extremely poorly constructed. The lorry trailer section never closes properly and the parts are flimsy and poorly designed. We thought that for the money this was going to be a perfect Christmas present, and in the end we just binned it after much frustration.
Please do not waste you money on this. I noticed another review has given this 5 stars. I can't believe this a review of the same toy.
Aaargh!!, 06 Feb 2008
What a load of rubbish! I have to agree with most of the other reviewers that this is so fiddly. My son plays with this for five minutes, gets bored and leaves me to wrestle with it for half an hour trying to put it together. This is the first review that I have ever written for Amazon but I feel so strongly about this product that I don't want anyone else to waste their money like I have.
Not much Fun!, 17 Jan 2008
As with other reviewers, not impressed at all. Got for my three year old for Christmas, thought it would be a really playworthy toy but not at all! If he didn't notice it missing I'd take it back for refund. Luckily got cheap (£34) but seriously not worth it. Hard work to put together, doesn't close up properly and labels are coming away at the side. Best left, he's more impressed with the die cast cars I get for £3!!!!
Fantastic Play Value & Excellent Value for Money!, 26 Nov 2008
The WOW toys are a great invention. We first came across them in a garden centre about 5 years ago. We then discovered more in the range and have kept acquiring them. My daughter loves Katie's caravan as much as she did when she was 2 - she is now nearly 8!
My son's favourite is the new Combine Harvester and they both fight over the Ambulance on a regular basis! The toys don't need batteries. If you run them a lot on carpets, they do get dust behind the wheels and if you clear this out the friction push and go effect is restored.
Some of the toys can go in the bath - and all of the people are great for bathtime fun.
With encouragement and imagination - these toys can give hours of amusement and fun! We love them.
On holiday, we take a basket of these toys and they last both the 4 and 7 year old all week! Much easier than taking different toys for each child.
Unlike most of my children's toys, I will definitely be keeping the WOW range for future grandchildren!
Best birthday present!, 02 Nov 2008
My little girl was sent this by a relative for her 2nd birthday. It tuned oput to be her favourite present by miles. She loves it so much she takes it to bed with her! Lots of scope for imaginative play and storytelling with the characters and pieces provided. Very sturdy and well built.
A really great toy, 21 Oct 2008
WOW, why can't all toys be this good!
Whoever designed it did a great job! It's really well made (has been thrown across the floor on a few occasions and survived intact), the friction mechanism is amazing (it travels for miles) and, best of all, there are just so many parts to it, it keeps kids entertained for hours (20 month old, 4 & 6 year old all happily play with it). If there was a battle between this and Fisher Price Little People toys, this wins hands down.. I just wish I had come across Wow toys before.
fun, imaginative and no batteries needed!, 01 Oct 2008
My daughter received this for her second birthday and it is absolutely brilliant. It amazed me how much she used and developed her imagination with these toys. They are bright and engaging and are suitable for both girls and boys. She'll be getting a few more WOW toys for Christmas!
Lots of fun and durable. , 01 Apr 2008
WOW toys seem to make unusual toys that go down really well with both my 4 1/2 year old son and his 2 year old sister.
The camper van is a great size (a little over a foot in length) and is jam-packed with clever detailing. There are 3 opening doors: the perspex driver's windshield, the side of the van (which provides a seating area when opened) and the rear end (which is opened with a satisfyingly finger-sized button). Inside are sculpted sleeping and cooking areas, all brightly coloured.
There are a wealth of accessories for such a small toy. I won't list them here, you can see them for yourself in the product photo. My children are especially taken with the dog and his sleeping/eating accessories. Children generally find animals fascinating and WOW regularly add some animal element to their toys which fires children's narrative imagination far more than a simple transport toy alone could ever do.
Highly recommended for long-lasting entertainment value.

Nice cute truck BUT, 14 Aug 2005
The problem of this truck is that the rear panel rapidly (and I mean it: less than a day) doesn't stay vertical, which really annoys my little boy. So I am oblige to stuck it with something (tape, match, etc...), which is neither very secure nor very handy. A pity as you get 3 little vehicles in one box to play with, and the truck looks very cool.

Terrific tractor!, 25 Nov 2008
Falk - Ford + Trailer (Sit and Ride)
I bought this toy for my son's first birthday based on the previous review. I just wanted to say I couldn't agree more with the gentleman's comments. This is a really sturdy toy and ideal for little people as it doesn't tip over easily. My son likes to use it like a walker at the moment (his feet don't quite touch the floor on it yet so he can't get around while sat on it without assistance) and really enjoys pushing it about and beeping the horn. Alternatively mum or dad can push him around which absolutely delights him. I am really pleased I purchased it and believe it is fantastic value for money. The only con is that you need quite a bit of space available for manouevre, especially if you are using the trailer as well. All in all a fantastic toy.
Good fun tractor, 13 Sep 2007
I bought this for my grandson in June this year. He is a big boy and fitted on to this tractor straight away. It provides him with lots of fun and he associates it with a real Ford tractor. I think that this association is important. I will be buying more branded type lorries and tractors as time goes on. Simple types first more complex ones later on. Honest, they are for him.
This tractor is very simple to assemble. A sturdy toy, which I feel will be passed on once he has outgrown it. Amazon pricing was unbeatable as was their delivery.
Wow......, 23 Nov 2008
Another superb toy from Wow!
Our 2 year old grandson had this given him on his birthday.It was a total hit from the word go. The novelty of sorting the recycling, collecting it and loading up the truck gives him constant pleasure and keeps him amused for hours.
I thought nothing could surpass his love for Ernie the fire truck but this delightful toy could do just that.
As with all the Wow toys this is really well made and beautifully designed.
I cannot understand anyone buying anything but Wow toys - no batteries needed!
We love it!, 07 Nov 2008
I bought this toy for my son's 2nd birthday. We love the scale of the vehicle and the fact that it comes with little figures. My son was bored with the larger scale toddler vehicles, but not quite ready for the matchbox style ones, so this range is perfect!
There are moving parts and lots of detail which keeps the kids occupied for hours. The recycling theme has caught the imagination of my 4 year old daughter, who has started to help sort our rubbish!
Brilliant for 1s to 2s, 06 Sep 2008
This toy is brilliant - all our grandchildren have enjoyed playing with it, from pushing it around - with a satisfying sound, to putting in the dustbins, tipping them out, lifting the door and starting again.
Not happy with product, 26 Nov 2008
I ordered this item but was found it of very poor quality, the detail was good but it was not strong enough or sturdy enough and I cannot imagine it lasting two minutes with any normal three year old. I returned the item, the company that supplied the product, Top Mark Toys, were excellent, they responded immediately and refunded my money.
Exciting for all ages!, 07 Aug 2008
I was nearly as excited as my 2 year old when this arrived - what a great looking toy with easy mechanicals even for younger kids. I/we are now tempted by so many others in the range but would need a bigger house to cope!
Indestructible, 06 Dec 2006
When my son was approaching two, this was the only thing he wanted. Took me ages to find it... and when it arrived I thought it didn't look very sturdy. How wrong I was! He's nearly six now. Won't let us throw it away, still very attached to it and it's still perfect. He's not particularly gentle on toys. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a "big yellow truck with a scoop on the front and a digger on the back".
A great little digger, 09 Sep 2005
Beautifully detailed digger yet durable enough to pass the garden soil test, worked alongside the Bruder Actos Dumper Truck, my 3 year old son would tell you they are WOW!!! We now have our own mini M25 running from the back door to the greenhouse, all built using the Backhoe loader and dumper truck. Thoroughly recommended by me, and my boy.
not the tonka of old, 12 Jul 2008
i bought this for my son he a tough 2 and a half year old and neded something tough for him when i was a lad tonka ment it was tough as steel this is made of a tough plastic not sure how tough yet need him to go in a tantrum to find that out but its not the same as tonka of old but i will still get him more as they are good and sounds and lights keep him amused
Nice cute truck BUT, 14 Aug 2005
The problem of this truck is that the rear panel rapidly (and I mean it: less than a day) doesn't stay vertical, which really annoys my little boy. So I am oblige to stuck it with something (tape, match, etc...), which is neither very secure nor very handy. A pity as you get 3 little vehicles in one box to play with, and the truck looks very cool.
Excellent toy, 15 Sep 2006
Bruder makes sturdy vehicles for rough boys...my son takes this tipper truck out to our front garden with his friend and they fill it with pebbles and empty it and fill it and empty it..and so on until they find something else to put in it. They find this very satisfying. Then on a Saturday morning its used to ferry his little sister around the house then the teddies have a turn...I like toys that keep them busy and use their imagination and so do they. Quite a large toy and would do any age. Great detail and quality.

Dreadful Quality - do not buy., 06 Oct 2008
We bought this set for our 'Cars' mad son last Christmas and I can hand on heart say this has been the worst quality toy we have ever bought him. It literally falls apart and will not stay together. It is very flimsy and totally unplayable.
I felt compelled to write this review as my son has seen this advertised on tv in the run up to this Christmas again and I would hate to see anyone else wasting their money or ending up with a disappointed child.
Please buy something else. You will regret this purchase.
poor planning, 28 Mar 2008
This toy had the potential to be great, through eihter shoddy workmanship or poor testing it is a big het down. I thought that the price was a little high but my son adores all his other Cars toys, most of which have been quite robust and lots of fun, so i thought that for the price this would be brilliant. On opening this at christmas the main problem was clear, the twist lock to close the trailer is usless. My son has played with this as the race track/road combo but gets very frustrated that as a truck and trailer it just won't stay together. this is the secon worst waste of money after our bob the builder sun flower valley playset! my son has had much more fun with the smaller mac truck which stays together and after much use is still lke new!
Do not waste your money on this toy!!, 16 Mar 2008
Our boys were extremely excited about this toy, so it was very sad when this toy was found to be extremely poorly constructed. The lorry trailer section never closes properly and the parts are flimsy and poorly designed. We thought that for the money this was going to be a perfect Christmas present, and in the end we just binned it after much frustration.
Please do not waste you money on this. I noticed another review has given this 5 stars. I can't believe this a review of the same toy.
Aaargh!!, 06 Feb 2008
What a load of rubbish! I have to agree with most of the other reviewers that this is so fiddly. My son plays with this for five minutes, gets bored and leaves me to wrestle with it for half an hour trying to put it together. This is the first review that I have ever written for Amazon but I feel so strongly about this produ | | |
