My twins wanted a hot wheels city for their birthday. Wife said I overshot the mark.

I was quite pleased, but acknowledge it is a bit much. Still looking for more pieces. They love it, so I guess that's all that matters.

@gettingoldercarguy NAILED IT!!!!

-
@gettingoldercarguy Fantastic!!
-
You didn't overshoot, you hit it out of the park. Well played.
-
@facw that'll happen no matter what I do. I just gave them an excuse and will continue to do so no matter how hard I try.
-
@facw I don't wish to get into a LALD holy war but to me matchbox>hot wheels. I don't want a lime green dragster shaped like a velociraptor, I want cars that look like my parents' and what I see on the road.
-
@zipfuel Yeah, this is a Marvell vs DC type of thing in my eyes. The off road matchbox track https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CFTG5H2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_WP21PJTQ1EAED4D2SXSD
is awesome.

Looks like you had fun buying that. Are you cool enough to get down on the floor and play with them? Are you young enough to get up off the floor?

@gettingoldercarguy are those the Motormax sets? I had so many good times with them when I was younger!
-
@amoore100 Hot wheels city and Matchbox Action Drivers playsets. Just found two more that look pretty cool. They're for my kids I tell you!

@Rusty-Vandura It hurts, but I can still play on the floor!

You mention twins; are these your spawn or your spawn's spawn?

@gettingoldercarguy oh wow, name brand, how fancy! My parents found a bunch of these Motormax 'Dyna City' playsets at Ross once and I combined about ten of them to create an entire cityscape.
We did have a few of the official Hot Wheels ones too, though, and I loved them for the realism of the road segments!
-
@amoore100 those both look awesome

Your screen name suggests you could be a grampa. But hey: Rusty Vandura entirely approves of your purchase. Mrs. Vandura and I just bought a big batch of Thomas the Tank Engine stuff from a guy through Craigslist. I will post reports accordingly. My theory is that I look for stuff that I think would be fun and I generally score.

Back in 2008, when we flew out to CA to visit my bother's family, I bought the kids a Skybusters airport set that folded up into a little carrying case. It came very much in handy while waiting for the plane at the gate, and even once onboard. Good times. Boys would have been 2, 2, and 5.

Fair enough. I hope I didn't seem like I was prying. I'm really enjoying the grandfather thing.

@Rusty-Vandura Nah, not at all. I'll definitely be an old man by that point in time.
