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. The World Grand Prix comes to life in Fisher-Price's Cars 2 World Grand Prix R/C playset.
The World Grand Prix R/C playset includes such locations from the movie as the Minion Garage with Easy-Rail Station, Tokyo Pit Stop, Porto Corsa Racing Venue with collapsing bridge, eight pieces of Snap-Lock track with an Acer (one of the Cars characters) push vehicle, and a Finn McMissile Turbo R/C vehicle. The easy-to-use Turbo R/C remote lets kids "drive" Finn McMissile forward and backward along the track. (Finn McMissile even works off the track on hard surfaces.) Finn McMissile also says phrases from the movie.
The World Grand Prix R/C set works with other Cars 2 GeoTrax toys to recreate the excitement of the movie and help kids embark on new adventures. Other Cars 2 GeoTrax playsets, track packs, and R/C cars are sold separately.
Why It’s Fun
The Cars 2 GeoTrax line lets kids build their own Cars 2 world. The World Grand Prix R/C set offers lots of fun racing action just like in the new movie. Kids will like reenacting scenes from the movie or creating new adventures for the Cars characters.
Who It’s For
The World Grand Prix R/C set is for ages 2—7. It's great for kids who like Cars the movie or for kids who like to play with cars.
What to Be Aware of
Assembly is required, but no tools are needed. It takes about 15-20 minutes to put together.
We really like the design of this, which is easy for preschoolers to operate while giving a really satisfying train experience.
The versatility and the long-term play value of this toy makes it worth the price for parents of Cars fans, particularly since it integrates with other GeoTrax sets.
This set requires six AAA batteries (three for the R/C controller and three for the vehicle), which are not included.
