This review is from: Set of 4 die-cast Chevy Stepside Pick-Up 1/32 Scale, Pull Back Action Cars. (Toy)
I got these for my son (who is far from the “recommended” age range). He loves them.
The quality of these is very impressive given their price. They roll wonderfully – the pull back action is great & feels very sturdy. These have endured quite a bit of abuse at the hands of my son – who likes to drive things off the edge of our bay window seat – so numerous 2′ tumbles for each of these. It seems like you’d have to work pretty hard to snap off one of the doors. He hasn’t messed with the interior bits (like the steering wheel) but they seem pretty sturdy too. None of them have any alignment issues – they all roll pretty straight & the pull back action is pretty strong – it will go quite a ways on a hardwood floor.
Mine also endured a very rough shipping situation. Normally Amazon is pretty good with their packaging, but of course everyone makes mistakes & these experienced one of those. These do not come in their own packaged box – I think whoever sells them has repackaged them from bulk sets, so instead they’re wrapped in shipping paper & put into a poly envelope, staggered (so the top of one truck is in the truck bed of the other one). Normally this would be just fine – it’s enough protection to withstand the shipping journey, unless of course it’s packaged in a 3′ x 4′ box along with a 35lb bag of dog food, which was the case for me (the dog food is part of my subscribe & safe, wasn’t part of this order). I would have returned them immediately, but my son had already seen them & he’s too young to understand that, so I just let him have them. Thankfully Amazon was really understanding & gave me a credit for future use.
It seems the only possible sort of damage from that is the truck beds are ever so slightly bent away from the cab, which I think is pretty impressive for these to have withstood that so well (since I watched the UPS guy bring that big box up – it was a bit rough, understandably so given the awkward weight & size).
Great product, great quality & a very good price.
FYI – I also spotted cars like this (about the same size, pull back action & opening doors & whatnot) at a Kroger in the Atlanta area. They were $5.99 (+ tax) – but I admit, none of them were as cool as this design (more modern cars & sports cars). I got one there – a VW Beetle design – seems to be comparable to these in terms of quality & design. Just thought I’d mention that in case you have a kroger near by (unfortunately I’ve never seen them in the publix stores in my area). UPDATE – the kroger bought VW is definitely not the same quality…both bumpers have already fallen off 🙁 these on the other hand barely even have scratches..so well worth it.

I bought these cars for the 11 year old son of a good friend and he absolutely loves them! When they go on trips, his mother says he always takes at least two with him to play with en route as well as when they arrive.

Great quality model trucks,
