  I picked this up at Wal-Mart tonight as a Christmast present for my nephew. As I was leaving the store at least 3 different kids were all tugging on their mom's sleeve and pointing at my cart. One child nearly ran into me, he was so mesmerized by the box.
  
  I think this is going to be a winner on Christmas morning. :)

  My 9 year old son received this for Christmas and has been having a blast! He can make so many different types of vehicles, the set is sturdy, the characters are fun to play with. He absolutely loves it! Very versatile and imaginative set.

  Bought this for my grandsons for Christmas. They are 6, and they love this toy. It is a well made toy with numerous parts that can be put together in many different ways. They love all the Mega Rig toys and spend many enjoyable hours playing with them.
  
  

• Santa's blunder

  
  By A2GYE196IWBFOC on 2007-01-18
  I was convinced that Santa was making a spectacular choice when he brought my 5 1/2-year-old both the Arctic Mega Rig and the original dinosaur one.
  
  In it's fully assembled state the Artic Mega Rig doesn't have the weight it requires to make the treads on the wheels move consistently. The couplers of the pieces aren't strong enough to keep everything assembled well.
  
  Having said that, my son seemed content to play with the smaller configurations at least on Christmas Day. The day after, it was in a box in his room where it remained untouched until today(January 17th). I brought it out for him because he was home sick, bored and looking for something to play with. We put it together and fifteen minutes later he had lost interest.
  
  Now, maybe it's simply the pairing of the wrong toy with my boy but then again, he's a kid who loves monsters, Godzilla, and for the longest time all things Imaginext.
  
  To me, this toy has an absolutely cheap feel that in no way merits the steep price tag. I give it 3 stars because the dinosaur and snow monster are pretty decent and seem to get along well with all the Imaginext dinosaurs my son has.

  My 4 year old son got some early christmas money from his grandparents. So we went and bought this toy at Target (and paid 30.09 for it) He loves it... his favorite part was that you can take the whole thing apart and put it together different each time. My only concern was that the snow monster needs camera batteries or cell phone batteries??? What are those???
  
  
• Great Xmas toy

  7yr old son has had many many hours of fun rebuilding this into many different tracked and wheeled vehicles. Quickly lost interest in snow monster part but the vehicle part is easily changed around for new setup each time. Highly recommended.
  
  
• Excellent toy, at an excellent price!!

  My boys got this for Christmas (ages 2 & 6). The price at stores was $40+ ..Amazon was much more affordable. The set is durable, the boys love being creative with all the different pieces and attachment. Great fun!
  
  
• favorite Christmas present- Mom and Dad happy too

  My 5 year old son got this from Santa this year and he is thrilled with it. He has been asking for this for months and of course, we were scared that it would not live up to the commercials. We were plesantly surprised that the toy is sturdy, easily assembled and is easy for younger kids to manipulate.
  
  This toy breaks apart into 25 separate pieces so that you can do several different variations on the theme- it is great to see my son's creativity come out! Plus the pieces are basically big and colorful enough that you won't constantly worry that the pieces will be lost.
  
  I highly recommend this, especially now that I see the price is $[...] less then what we paid.
  
  
• Stupid commercial.

  I can't stand it that I fell for another one of these hotwheels/matchbox sets. They always look so cool on the comercial and they are always cheap plastic out of the box.
