Hot Wheels Should Be Ashamed!!Review by dianniabone, 2010-04-24
I bought this son for my 4 year old. He cried and complained about it from the time I put it together until the 30 minutes it took me to put it back in the box from whence it came. For starters, the car that came w/the track was too big to fit in the hot/cold compartments. It was extremely difficult to get the car to launch off the launcher as shown on TV commercials and advertisements. You know its bad when your 4 year old screams "take this toy back to Walmart" This gadget was a HOT MESS!!!
I suggest that you by your child the individual color changing cars, get you some cups of water or put some water in a sink, and have a blast. Plz don't waste your time or the gas it takes to ride to the store to buy this toy.
Believe the bad reviews!

This toy is probably the worst toy my 3-year-old son has ever received. So bad that I am taking the time to write the FIRST product review of my life. His grandmother gave it to him this morning as an Easter gift thinking it would be a quality toy considering the Hot Wheels name. I grew up with Hot Wheels, and we have several of the other Hot Wheels toy sets, and they are all great. But I can not believe Mattel released this one for sale. Like everyone says, the cars are fine. Ice cold water changes the color, and warm water changes it back. But the "Custom Color Shop" is useless. The launcher is a bad design. You have to smack it down with exactly the right amount of force so that it passes under the waterfall at exactly the right time. Too little force, and the waterfall empties and the car doesn't make it up the ramp to hit the water. Too much force, and the waterfall empties but the car slams into the track entrance, or jumps the track. Each time it doesn't work, you have to fill the ice water tank and try again. Some of the other sets have rubber-band powered launchers. I think that would solve the problem with this toy because it could be designed to exert the correct amount of force each time so that the car will shoot up the ramp at the correct speed to hit the waterfall at the right time. Anyway, after playing with this toy for about 15 minutes, and probably 10 attempts, we got it to work as advertised one time . . ONE TIME! Fortunately we were able to see how it is supposed to work, and when it works, it is cool, but it is too frustrating to keep refilling the tank and keep trying it over and over with a slim chance of it working. And yes, as you would suspect, water DOES get everywhere. Shame on Mattel for tarnishing the Hot Wheels name with this piece of junk.
Big dissapointment
Review by Lara Cartagena, 2010-03-22
The track is too fragile, the car did not change color and the launcher works every one in ten tries maybe.
Not worth it. I did not get the car to go under the waterfall once.
waste money
Review by Y. Gould, 2010-01-29
Boring toy, launcher doesn't work most of the time...water gets everywhere....son played for 30 minutes and got frastruated and lost interest.
Good thing is...bought for less than 15 dollars. Now the toy is going to stay in the plastic bag for more than who knows how long before we see it again....
Don't waste your money
Review by Jenna, 2010-01-10
What a bummer. My son was so excited when he saw this, however, it is a huge let down. Our track doesn't even stay together, the launcher doesn't have enough to get the car up the track. The water get everwhere but on the car. However the color-changing car is cool without the track. Huge disappointment from such a big name.
