I was checking this out for a Christmas gift for our 3 year old son. I didn't think it was worth the price so we ended up not getting it then. However, I managed to pick it up on clearance for $[...] at Target. Amazing price - but that is the best part of this toy. It's not very much fun to play with and it has been sitting under our couch since we bought it. I may get it out and give it another whirl - i read the reviews about needing to shake the cars longer. It's just a really big toy and it takes up a lot of floor space.
