Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Battery-Powered Jet Engine with Thomas

41JAD79S8ML Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway   Battery Powered Jet Engine with Thomas Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Battery-Powered Jet Engine with Thomas Thomas gets more than he bargains for when this jet engine speeds him around Sodor! As seen in the new “Thomas and the Jet Engine” story. Includes exclusive wooden Thomas the Tank Engine and battery-powered jet engine. Requires one AA battery (not included). Age: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Manufacturer: Learning Curve
Customer Review: Please Redesign / Stopped Running on Day Two
Like many of the other children mentioned in the reviews, my son loves the jet engine episode. And while he loves this toy, its design is a source of some frustration. 1) The on/off switch is hard for my 3 year old to use, in fact, it is hard for adults to use. We typically have to remove the train from the tracks to do it. The button is too small and when it is turned on, it is flush with the rest of the model. 2) My son sometimes prefers to use the jet engine without running the batteries; while there is a clutch to prevent damage to the motor, it would have been preferable if the car could have free-wheeled forward. For a toy as expensive as this one, that’s not asking much. 3) The battery compartment screw is made of cheap metal and the head easily strips. The other screws use a triangular head making it difficult to open and repair (which it will eventually require).

LEGO Technic Telehandler

51%2BzMYzqQGL LEGO Technic Telehandler LEGO Technic Telehandler Lift nearly anything with this heavy-duty Telescopic Handler! It’s loaded with realistic functions that you build right in, including a hydraulic actuator that raises and lowers the extending boom, front-end stabilizers, and working four-wheel steering. You can even add the Power Functions Motor Set (sold separately) to motorize the telescoping boom. Turn the knob on back to raise and lower the boom, then flip the switch the extend it. Tilt the front forklift to pick up the cargo pallet. Boom extends over 21″. Telescopic Handler measures 15″L x 15″H. Includes instructions for rebuilding into a rugged Log Loader. 1,182 pieces.
Customer Review: Lego Telescopic Handler
Excellent Lego offerings for 2008, and the 8295 Telescopic Handler does not disappoint. Just like the real machine, the boom raises uses the new unique Linear Actuators that seemed to have replaced the older pneumatic cylinders and air pumps. This is actually a good thing, without an air tank, it would take constant pumping to create enough air pressure to allow the cylinders to function, the actuators are ‘screw’ operated, you just turn a gear wheel on the back of the machine to actuate the cylinder to raise the boom, then using a slick clutch type setup on the side of the Telehandler you flip a switch to change the gearing to extending the boom. It would have been nice if the tilting of the forks on the end of the boom would have been operated on the machine, making it look more authentic, rather than the cheesy setup of having to turn a lever on the fork assembly itself, maybe 1 extra Linear Actuator on the end of the boom would have accomplished the task, but then the price tag might have hit $100 as well…either way it is a lot of fun, and actually fairly complex to assemble the Telehandler, even more so than the Flagship 2008 model, #8297 Off-Roader. It is advisable that you motorize the Telehandler with either #8293 Power Functions kit, or if you have an extra battery box, clutch gear and the small Power Functions motor, you can simply motorize the boom, which is actually quite cool to watch. You can motorize the #8294 Excavator as well with the same 3 parts, and it adds a lot of replay value to the sets.
