Fisher-Price Big Action Construction Site with Remote Control

I purchased this toy for my 3 & 4 year old boys. They couldn't wait for me to assemble it, which was fairly easy. Just like others on here, I had trouble getting the ramp to go up all the way, but after a little adjustment it worked fine. My boys enjoyed it for a couple of days until the remote would not work. The remote controlled vehicle will start and go forward but won't stop or turn. To make it stop I have to press the red light on top of the remote controlled truck, or it will just keep on going. I changed batteries on both the truck and the remote but that didn't fix anything. It's a good idea for a toddler toy but unfortunately it is not good quality as far as the vehicle and remote go.

My 3 year old son got this toy for christmas and loved it. We had to wait to set it up because we didn't have any AAAs, but when we did he loved playing with it. After 1 dau of play the remote stopped working. When I took it to try and see what was wrong the remote was hot so I removed the Battery cover to take out the batteries and the were very hot. I let the remote sit for a few hours and tried a different brand of batteries and right away the batteries started getting hot. My son was very upset that his new toy didn't work and would love to play with it. If the remote were fixed this would be an amazing toy.

my 4, 6, and 7 year olds loved this toy, couldn't put it down for the first few days, then within a week the remote stopped working. After 3 new packs of batteries we still can't get the remote to work. We think the dumptruck is fine since the light comes on, but can't be sure of that since the remote is faulty. It's a great toy and held their attention and is one of those toys they kept coming back to, but it's no fun without a working remote control.

I bought this for my nephew. Once we got it built the fun was endless. We had no problem with the elevator lift. It worked perfectly. The kids were lined up to get their turn to run through the construction site. My nephew(age 4) gave me the biggest hug and said he loved it. I highly recommend this. I think the only down side is that it doesn't come apart easily for storage and it does take up a lot of space.

Very easy assembly and the construction site keeps our 3 year old busy. The only issue is that the elevator/crane does not go up. The elevator will rise about 2 inches and then stop. Our son can very easily lift it with his hand, but I would like it to work as advertised. Overall, very pleased.

i agree with other comments. THE LIFT!!!!!! Ours barely lifts the truck too, have to manually push it off the lift, but then, the lift falls off it's post once the truck is on, so we have to hold it in place while lifting or lowering the vehicle. Our son plays with it and brings us the lift to place back on every 5 minutes or so!!!! However, he plays with it almost all day, driving the truck around the house and off loading the boulders right under my feet!!! He is almost 2 and there hasn't been any other toy he's had (except his tonka truck) that has captured his attention for this long, so I'm happy that I found something he enjoys, just wish the lift held up a bit better. (my husband is very annoyed)

This seemed like something my son would love and we bought it for Christmas. It would be great but the elevator doesn't go up and down on it's own. You have to drive the car on to it and hold the buttons and it will finally real ease but then you have to push it up sometimes. It works about 40% of the time. The elevator down NEVER works because when the truck drives on it the other side of the elevator swings and gets caught so the elevator won't go down unless you move the other side. Kind of defeats the purpose of a remote control truck if you have to keep touching it for it just to work. If it worked the way it should it would have been a 5 star toy all around.

Two complaints: 1. The remote control - pressing a button only starts the truck moving. In order to stop it, you must press the red button on the truck, which completely defeats the purpose of the remote. 2. The lift does not lift the truck enough to get to the ramp. When you lift it, the truck is not powerful enough to drive around the ramp. When the truck does reach the second elevator, and its weight lowers it as designed, the truck then flips over while exiting from the lift.

This item does not work as well as one I had several years ago. They used to make a smaller version of this back when my sons were small. It was not RC, however. It had batteries and all it did was pick up ball bearings from a hopper on one side go around a track and dump them at another location. The bearings rolled down some ramps and the truck went around the track and picked them up again. Trust me it kept my sons, age 4 and 2, entertained for hours. It was about half the size of this new version and took one AA battery. It had some type of storage case for all the pieces. It took 4 years and 2 preschool boys to finally render it inoperable. Best 10 bucks I ever spent.
