Tomica Hypercity GAS STATION by Tomy

1. Detailed2. Quality3. Works with Hot Wheels cars4. 3 year old Son loves it!I purchased this gas station setup for my 3 year old's birthday. He's been fascinated with car washes and gas stations lately.Age suggested is 4 and above. I just took out the little figure it came with.This has been all my son has played with now for a week!It's actually a Store, Gas Station and Car Wash! The car wash has little brushes that actually move when you slide it back and forth. The store has operating sliding push button doors, detailed inside, and the pumps had sliding credit cards in them, working gauges, and removable pumps on a cord. Pretty detailed! But easy for a 3 year old to play with.This kit is modular. It comes in 4 sections that needs to be snapped together. Although they don't hook together permanently.If you build it and want to move it you either need to slide it onto a piece of cardboard or take it apart and then rebuild it.Once the parts are build out of the box, the modular pieces are fast to put together and take apart.My son loves rearranging the layout of the station, so it's a plus for us.It can be attached to other Tomy city parts and make a whole town if you want.For the quality, design, playability and price is decent considering what most toys cost now.Shipping was fast.

This is an ok toy. Bought it for my 3 yr old who loves things like this. It has given him lots of entertainment, but there is a lot of pieces and its not very sturdy, It falls apart very easily. Probably would be better for an older child. We actually super glued it togeather and it works much better for him.

Be sure to open it in advance and glue it together onto a piece of cardboard. I actually cut up the box and used it. My grandson carries it around but I glued it together first on the advice of another reviewer so there is no problem.

Item shipped rapidly, and the pricing is great. Have been a Hot Wheel/Match Box/Tomica collector for years. Tomica products are genuinely better than Hot Wheel counter parts. This gas station is very detailed with little movable parts. It's being displayed on my shelf as a diorama which works great with all 1/64 scale models. Highly recommended for toy collectors.

The garage is pretty cute but as you assemble its various parts together, you realize it's not designed to be sturdy, but rather easy for a kid to disassemble. For instance, the roof of the garage simply rest on top of it: there's nothing that really keeps it in place... so obviously it will fall... Not convinced by this, a bit disappointed.

My 4 yr old son loves it but I think the pieces are waaaay too small. It's kind of annoying to have to put it together.

We had a lot of fun putting it together as a family. Now the little spends hours playing with it.

Realistic (at a distance) and a essential addition to a Tomica busy town.
