TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
High-octane adventure continues with the release of Disney/Pixar's Cars 2 on June 24, 2011. Lightning McQueen and Mater head to the World Grand Prix where they get caught up in international espionage. LEGO's Cars 2 building sets give kids the opportunity to build racers and locations from the new film.
Just like in the new movie, Mater finds himself transformed into a spy in the Mater's Spy Zone building set. With this 114-piece set, kids build Mater (complete with missiles and a jet pack), new character Holly Shiftwell, and a spy command center. Both Mater and Holly are freewheeling vehicles. Mater's tow chain even moves up and down, making this more than just a static model.
Why It’s Fun
Kids will like building one of their favorite Cars characters. With this building set, kids can recreate scenes from the new movie or send Mater and Holly off on new spy adventures.
Who It’s For
Mater's Spy Zone is for ages 5—12.
What to Be Aware of
It may take a few minutes to put together this building set, but the building process—and a child's pride in completing a model—is always part of the fun with LEGO.
