      Comments about Playable Metal Car Kit:

      Parts don't fit, there is no accompanying useful instruction. It shows pictures of what you can do with it but doesn't show how to get there. In the end it was just a waste of time and lots of frustration.

            This was supposed to be a fun little manly toy. What it is instead in a pain that causes you anger because the pieces don't fit together as they should.

                This was a big hit with all the men in the room. The components are beautifully engineered, sleek pieces that fit perfectly together. The tools and set screws work wonderfully and our college engineer was delighted with this new take on an Erector set.

                    The Playable Metal Car Kit is great! It is high-quality and lightweight.

                    If you are a building enthusiast, however, you will need to order additional parts in order to make the cars that you want, as this seems to be only a starter kit.

                    Wonderful gift idea!

                    • Durable

                      Best Uses

                        Comments about Playable Metal Car Kit:

                        I bought this as a gift for someone who loves to put things together. He really likes it but we wish there were some instructions or better pictures showing how to make the different cars. Also, according to the parts list, there should have been two right threaded wheels and two left threaded wheels but one of the left threaded wheels was not threaded. It's difficult to use it. However, this is a great product that allows the user not only to make cars, but other structures as well.

                        Service and delivery comments:

                        Delivery was prompt and arrived in great condition.

                        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                        Merchant response:We're glad your friend got revved up about creating cars! And we're sorry the wheels were out of whack. Please give us a call at 1.888.365.0056 so we can get cruisin' and ship a replacement to your friend.

                          Comments about Playable Metal Car Kit:

                          It's a more complicated big kid version of lego's. Little more of a challenge makes it a more fun for adults.

                          Service and delivery comments:

                          Yes delivery was prompt. Yes it arrived in good condition. I did use customer service I entered my apartment number at checkout but for some reason it was not included when it was shipped when I contacted customer service they told me they couldn't change the address, when I contacted UPS they told me only UncommonGoods could change the address. Luckily USPS was still able to deliver the package after some trouble. UncommonGoods was going to charge me if the package got sent back to them to send it back to me! It was their fault in the first place and they wanted to charge me for what they could have fixed but chose not to!

                          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                          Merchant response:We're glad you like the product, and apologize that you had trouble receiving your order. Once an order has shipped, we generally cannot change the address information. If a package is returned to us, we can reship it free of charge as a one time courtesy.
