We bought this for our 3 year old son who loves construction vehicles. So much that I’ve spent most school days driving him around hunting for construction sites so we can have snack and watch them work.... We thought this set would be a super cute “treasure box” that he could earn one truck each week (or after doing chores/helping around the house). Not exaggerating, 5 minutes after getting the steam roller, the roller popped apart and he brought it back to me tearfully. I was able to pop the roller back together and he went back to playing. It has popped apart a few times since, and I may hot glue it together and see if that fixes it. The excavator-his absolute favorite-will not stay together at all. Simply playing with the arm trying to get it to “dig” pops The arm off and he’s literally bringing it to me every 10 minutes to fix. It pops back in easily, but has loosened up quite a bit and looks like it will eventually give way and not work at all. He hasn’t earned the rest yet, so I’m not sure how the rest of the vehicles will fare. But based on the 1st 2....I don’t have high hopes, and I’m already shopping around for better quality construction vehicles for him to play with. The body of the 2 vehicles are metal, but the attaching parts are plastic. With minor adjustments I feel like this could be a great product, but as is, probably should be a decoration and not a play toy....

Customer Service for this product was amazing. I purchased the construction truck for my 2 year old grandson. I was there when he opened the present and almost immediately one of the little trucks broke. I e-mailed the company and the immediately sent out a replacement box of all of the little construction trucks. They arrived quickly and my grandson was happy for a few days until many of the other little trucks started breaking. The main carrier is built sturdier and has held up to normal play. This is not a toy to be played with - but to be viewed and handled delicately. It is a great idea and if they could just make it sturdier it would be a wonderful toy that any little boy would love. The way it is constructed it will not last long in the hands of most little kids.
