Review

A great way to store your Wheelies cars - holds up to 12 Wheelies (sold separately) and races up to 6 at a time. Our testers were disappointed that it only comes with one car, but found lots of other uses for Zigs cargo hold - other toy cars and balls were particular favourites as they could also launch down the ramps when Zigs side opens. Zig himself was a favoruite, as well - our testers loved that his mouth moves and the headlights light up when he talks. A fun toy for this age group. 

Tester Feedback

Heath (M17m) loves this toy. I was surprised to see that the truck only came with one toy car - how do you have a race with only one car? Heath found it amusing to put the balls from another toy in the truck and have them race all over the floor. The truck also accomodates races with little hotwheels cars if you have any.

Caspian (M2) liked this truck, but was a little frustarted that the ramp/door would open too easily, until he figured out a way to hold the gate in. He was captivated by all of the movement on the face of the truck and enjoyed the sounds. Once he understood how to launch the car, he liked that a lot and kept doing it over and over. He really likes that feature, although it Would be good to have more than one car. Eric CharlesChiu
