- "mess"getix Cry Coaster
- This was a total bust. My son asked for this for Christmas; it was number one on his list. He put it together by himself, and it looked great, but he immediately became furious with it, as it kept falling apart. Even with adult help, we were unable to get it to work at all without falling apart. I do not recommend this toy at all, plus it was very expensive, and not worth one penny of the price. He put it back in the box and has not played with it since the first day.

- Poor Quality
- Fun for 5 minutes until lift motor stopped working. Sent back for refund. Son was totally disappointed. Absolute disgrace for such a poor quality product to be put on the market.

- Pretty cool stuff!
- My son wanted this for Christmas and to be honest, I really didn't know what it was. I searched it on the internet and saw some video and I must say, I was scepticle that it would work the way you see it on the commercial. It does have a lot of parts and the instructions are more visual than written out, so if you are not good at looking at pictures to figure out puzzles or schematics, beware. (Kind of like buying furniture from IKEA) Once it was all put together, which both my son and daughter had fun trying to figure out what piece of track went where from one of the 10 different set ups, we turned it on and it actually worked! Of course, you had to do a little tweeking from time to time to make sure everything lined up and the right curves were in the right place, etc., but my kids were facinated by it. My son also liked the feature where you can plug in your MP3 player and play your own tunes. Overall, I'd say this is a pretty cool toy. You want to make sure you have a solid flat table of at least 4' by 4' because if it is bumped or moved, the tracks can come apart. You can not set this up on a carpeted floor. If your kid likes to tinker and is into tracks and moving parts with some lights and sound thrown in, they will love this. My son (10 years old) does not impress easily and the first thing he said when it was all set up and the balls started to run the track, was, "Cool!" In a word, that says it all.

- Magnetix Track
- I purchased this item for my son for Christmas and was a bit disappointed. I feel this item to be very overpriced for what you actually receive. It certainly isn't worth $89.99 and I wouldn't recommend spending that kind of money for something like this. The track is also limited to the different ways in which you can shape it because parts are pre-bent. There aren't a whole lot of options and it's only so entertaining.

- The best gift my son ever got-in his words!
- This was a very highly desired toy. But was worth it when I got it before the holiday. My son loves rollercoasters and has owned many of them. This one by far is the best!
