Mattel Hot Wheels^® Colossal Crash Track Set

I purchased this set to give to my son at Christmas. My husband took it out of the unopened box and the track is so poorly packaged that the tracks themselves were bent into each other and pinched. This track did not do well on the first run as the cars did not stay on or move around seamlessly. Unfortunately this lasted less time than it took to put it together. It’s going back to the store. This is a poor product and not worth the money.

My son and I used this set this weekend, I remember why it was put away. This was the big gift from X-mas 2019, initially we thought the issue was "not so fresh" batteries. After a fresh set was installed the problems were still there, the kids will play with it but the spend more time getting the stuck cars. We have tons of cars and have found ones that do NOT work, we have found ones that produce acceptable results if run alone. The biggest issue I see is the fit and finish, once assembled the track seems to have too much preload and deflection. This condition lessens the angles for the gravity sections and clearance areas in and out of the powered sections, adding any more than one car to each track and it just does not work as advertised and is kind of a let down for such a big set.

Bought this for my son's 6th birthday and we put it together today and it won't even run at all. We have put 2 different sets of batteries in it and nothing. Very dissatisfied, my husband was looking forward to it right along with our son and it was his "BIG" present which makes it even more of a disappointment.
