Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play, Skarloey at the Wharf

My two and a half year old loves this set. It folds up nicely for storage. Not much to it but still very enjoyable.

This toy is sturdy and fun for my child except for the crane. The crane, which of course is his favorite part of the whole toy, is extremely flimsy. That is the only impediment to this toy living up to the usual standard of quality that Thomas Take and Play sets live up to.

Although there was no picture of a box, I did expect it would come gift-boxed and it just came in a plain brown shipping box. There was no way it could be given for a gift. It didn't seem up to the standard of normal Fisher Price toys either which are sturdy. The bridge and turntable wouldn't stay together and kept falling apart. I paid $29.95 for it. That was way, way too much.

Not the best track, it is quite flimsy, and I can't get the two poles to stay to hold up the track, nor the pieces that connect the track. I like that it can be folded up, but the pieces need to fit better together.

This is the exact same set as the Dieselworks Take n play except they changed the color and the train. Disappointing

This is our favorite take n play set (and we have about 6). My one and five year old like the moving parts. The brown supports are a little unsteady if they get bumped so it can be annoying to fix them, since the kids can't do it themselves. But it gets five stars for the moving parts.

Everything is great except that the two pieces that hold the ramp up fall off and get lost (they are designed to be removed) probably fine for an older kid, but then again an older kid probably wouldn't be playing with this. Some of the other take and play sets are entirely one piece which adds to their convenience. All in all my son still enjoys it.

I bought and paid for a new toy. It came in a box without packaging, in pieces. As I went to wrap it for Christmas I realized it was used. I am very, very frustrated.
