    Decisions, decisions.... littley would love this, and at that price sounds a bargain, but the reviews really put me off. Anybody else have one and can comment?
  • I bought this last year and I have to say, it was awful :o Really bad quality..... the trains very rarely stayed on the track and if they did stay on they didn't always move properly, all jerky and stopping and starting. My son ended up getting really frustrated with it and it went in the cupboard on Boxing Day where it stayed until I finally got rid of it in the summer.

    Sorry, don't want to pee on anyone's parade but I really would not recommend this.
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    Thank you Scarlett. That is the final nail in its coffin for me. I don't have money to waste on things that are rubbish, so I wanted an honest opinion.

    Oh dear looks like I'll have to test it out before chrismas and if it's bad return it! The reviews were really mixed wondering if some sets are faulty cos others seemed ok.

    Hornby Toy Story 3 Electric Train Set £26.90 reduced from £74.99!!!
  • I also got it for DS for christmas last year and it stopped working after 1 days frustrating play, Woody also broke (very easily) off the top. Returned it to Amazon and son got something else, he wasn't bothered about a replacement.

    HTH FiFi :)

  • If you still want one despite what people have said above, then they are still £26.90 on Amazon
