Hot Wheels® Skate Freaks Quck Trick Skate Park Playset

I have given this toy to my son prematurely before Christmas because we are going on a trip. Anyaway, he likes the skate park very much. However, as an adult I see the faults that the kids don't care about. First of all, the park is very fragile. When you put it together it doesn't stand perfectly straight. As a result, when you launch the skater he will fail to jump high enough becasue the ramp doesn't touch the floor firmly, so there is a gap between the ramp and the floor. You need a very smooth surface for the skater to go straight up. Plus, one side of the structure is higher than the other. I have come up with an idea, however. I am going to use scotch tape when he plays with it to keep it down on the floor. The toy's idea is very attractive, it's a lot of fun, but they didn't think it through when they were designing it. My son loves it, so what can you do? Would I recommend it, maybe, if you are patient and try to figure out how you can accomodate its use.

My son who is 4 loves to collect all the Tech Deck guys - this toy is great because of all the sound effects and the magnets that the skaters cling to when you shout them up the ramp. Pretty durable and definatley a great price!
