Amusement Train 5549
« on: May 30, 2014, 23:35:41 »
So today while I was at Toys R Us I picked up this cute little set.  I'm undecided on whether it was worth the $21.99 price tag, but with my nephew coming to visit tomorrow it was a set that he could easily play with and enjoy.

It's cute enough.  3 figures (a conductor, Mom, and Son).  Not time consuming to put together or sticker.  It does require assembly though (unlike most other wheeled sets that you can typically play with from the box).





I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

thanks for the review of a neat set. We want it but $22 is a lot.

I am going to wait until they do another sale to get anymore of the amusement sets. They are all a bît pricey but I do think they are some of the better sets that PM has come out with in a while
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Its a cute little set, but does seem priced a little high, especially compared to the concession stand. Probably the set I want least from the series.

Thank you for the review ;)

I really like the driver klicky - I mean, it is nice he has that shirt under his coat. And the boy's torso is really pretty too...

You can barely tell from the picture (and in real life) that the driver has glasses on his face.

Looking closely, I can just make them out.  They are the fine silver ones, the same as my avatar wears.

Thanks for the review!

It's a really cute set, and a good one for younger kids, since the klickies can be put in the cars without too much futzing.
