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!

Assembly & Instructions
What It Is
Thomas has a special delivery to pick up at the Gold Mine. With the Rumbling Gold Mine Run playset, part of Fisher-Price's Take-n-Play line, kids can roll Thomas up to the Gold Mine entrance ramp and press the water tower to start the action. As the gold starts to rumble, Thomas moves through the collapsing mine as the "gold" nuggets bounce around inside the cave. Thomas rolls out the tunnel doors and down the ramp. While rolling past the abandoned mine, Thomas sets off an "explosion" of rock and "gold" nuggets fly out from the top. The back of the set features an additional track ramp that connects to other Thomas Take-n-Play playsets. When playtime is done, the set folds up for easy storage.
Why It’s Fun
Kids like bringing the world of Thomas & Friends to life, and this playset offers lots of action to do just that, from the rumbling "gold" inside the mine to the "exploding" rock. The Rumbling Gold Mine Run playset will engage kids in lots of open-ended play.
Who It’s For
The Rumbling Gold Mine Run playset is for Thomas fans and train fans ages 3 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Some adult assembly is required, but no tools are needed.
