MEGA Hot Wheels Bigfoot

My son loves this truck. A great addition to his hot wheels collection

Excellent transaction.

Most of us will remember BigFoot and the start of a new trend in monster trucks. Big foot is recognised as the first of modern day monster trucks back in the late 70s early 80s. This set is good value for the price at just under £55 at time of review and would make a great gift for avid lego builders and model makers who like to display their models. What I love about this monster truck building set is the large easy to follow and read instructions with large pictures showing the building stages. The appropriate building pieces are also bagged into 8 bags for easy locating of the piece and step by step construction. The pieces are very similar to lego blocks and construction kits. This is a hot wheels branded monster truck and carries a good pedigree of quality being this brand. The truck once completed (which I haven't done just yet) has interactive parts such as working suspension struts and steering wheel adjusting etc. There is a fantastic smaller die cast BigFoot model car included so you'll have an idea of what your finished monster truck will look like. This is targeted at ages of 10yrs and upwards but can be enjoyed with younger children with adult supervision to improve their fine motor skills and thinking. My little boy loves monster trucks although he is only 4, this will be too hard for him to build alone he can help daddy to build it :-) A degree of patience is needed with any building kit and this has over 500 pieces so it will keep older kids or adults busy for a while. Once you get started though, it's hard to stop building and gets quite addictive. This is a super gift idea for anyone that's into monster trucks and kit building and it's a decent price. Being from the well known brand of Hotwheels you know your getting a quality product.

MEGA Hot Wheels Bigfoot was a hit in my home. My son loved it. I thought it was great that the kit included a small, official Hot Wheels, version of the truck. It allowed my son to play with it while we completed the Mega block kit to create the GIANT Bigfoot truck. I’m not going to lie, when opening the kit everything seemed a bit daunting. There where A LOT of pieces and the instruction manual is 90+ pages long! However, I quickly realized that the kit was organized in a way that made it easy to complete the build using number bags of parts that corresponded to the instructions. The instructions were AWESOME! Very clear and not confusing at all. In total, the build took about 3 hours over two evenings to complete (1.5 hours each evening) The finished product is impressive! The truck is LARGE and heavy and is constructed in a way that make it really solid! The tailgate opens and the hood does too. There is even an engine inside! The suspension also articulates thanks to thick rubber bands & real suspension architecture that is installed & built during construction. I highly recommend this toy!

I like this, and there is a lot to like, but it is definitely an adult build that many children, even older children will struggle with. My partner, who is an engineer with very strong attention to detail skills was totally absorbed by this for hours. Admittedly, he was fascinated by elements such as how the suspension worked and kept grinning and showing me, but even taking that time away, it’s still not a quick build. The set-up is really good, with some of the best instructions I’ve ever seen, including pictures and clear descriptions. I love the fact that the elements are packed into separate bags, which really does help. It comes in a cardboard box that would be easy to wrap for gifting. You also get a die-cast model of Bigfoot, which is really good quality and looks great. I do like the fact that this could be a parent/child build and the child can see what the aim is and also have something to play with. At the time of writing this review, the cost is £52.93 on offer, and given the quality of this and the addition of the die-cast model, and I think it’s worth it.

The box suggested our ten year old would be okay but I quickly ended up taking over. He went off playing with the die cast Big Foot truck included while I got on with the build. I found it quite a fiddly and challenging build. The suspension really needed some patience for me. It looks brilliant as it is so detailed. As I am old enough to remember the real Big Foot from popping up on TV in the 80s to crush a car or two it looks just like I be remember. A pleasing bit of nostalgia that the kids are now banned from touching for a bit. It's dad's display model for the foreseeable future now!

This is a great set for older children to build, or as a family build with younger children. It ties together two great aspects- hot wheels monster trucks (and in particular the very well known Bigfoot) with construction bricks (Lego style but made by Mega- previously Megablocks). Once made it is designed more to be a display model but is durable enough to sustain some play. The suspension works, and the steering wheel turns, and you can lift the bonnet to see the motor, so it would be a bit disappointing to just leave it on the side. There is a smaller die-cast metal model so you can see what its going to look like, but also maybe use it to distract your child when you realise you want to take over the build? It is a big model (about 25cm long) but I do think that it’s a tad expensive (although not when you compare it to Lego prices.)

Very well designed and detailed, easy to operate and quite sturdy, suspensions seem work surprisingly well. May Not be very good on grass or hilly areas , but excellent on tarmac and smooth surfaces. What impressed me most is that It seems very durable, has taken a pile of abuse from my son as he’s quite hard on toys. My son keeps playing with it making it jump and roll and crash with other cars. After a month of playing in this way the Grave digger is still intact. Great design and quality. Well built for the money.

Ottimo prodotto. Assemblamento divertente. Bellissimo il fatto che abbia lo stesso modello HW in dotazione nella confezione

Really neat build. Super fun to put together. I really like lego cars but the bigger technic sets don't feel like I'm building legos. Mega knows what they're doing the quality is great, the build is sold and doesnt feel like it'll fall apart when I pick it up. I recommend mega construx over lego now for everything. I wished they focused more on their building sets and release more

Husband saw the original Big Foot back in the day, he was excited to get this item. Bonus item, was the small collectable.

Für Fans des Monstertruck-"Sports" ist "Bigfoot" sicher ein alter Bekannter, aber auch wenn man nicht viel mit der Materie am Hut hat, sind die "dicken Dinger" zumindest ein exotischer Anblick und beeindrucken gerade die jüngeren Zeitgenossen nach wie vor. Klar, dass sich da auch irgendein Klemmbaustein-Spezialist mit passender Lizenz für die entsprechenden Modellumsetzungen findet. Und MEGA liefert hier insgesamt eine sehr solide Performance ab, insbesondere dann, wenn man den Preis von aktuell knapp 45 Euro (ich selbst habe es hier für unter 35 Öcken erstanden) mit in die Bewertung einbezieht. Dafür gibt es passable Klemmkraft, dicke Reifen, ordentliche Farbtreue, bedruckte (!) Teile und noch ein Hot-Wheels-Wägelchen des Gefährts oben drauf. Die Bauanleitung ist eindeutig verständlich, echte Hürden gibt es auf den zweiten Blick eigentlich nicht. Moment, zweiten Blick? Mein Sohnemann, der das Modell zum 8. Geburtstag bekam, war der vollen Überzeugung, es handele sich um ein komplexeres Teil, vergleichbar mit der Technic-Sparte des Marktführers, und traute sich nicht so recht heran. Aber nach ein wenig Ermutigung war der "Bigfoot" innerhalb von zweieinhalb Stunden aufgebaut und sogar fürs Spielen dezent modifiziert. Apropos: Das kann man wirklich exzellent machen, wer hier also ein Utensil für die "Mad Max"-Ecke oder andere Wildheiten haben möchte, findet eine exzellente Baugrundlage. Ein wenig Zahnschmerzen bereitet mir die recht simple Federungstechnik, da das verwendete Gummiband zwar eine effektive und pragmatische Lösung ist, aber eben auch altern und spröde werden wird. Dann muss passender Ersatz her. Wie teuer war das Ding gleich noch mal? Ist also verzeihbar. Alles in allem ein sehr ordentliches Set und wer ein wenig Geduld hat, bekommt es regelmäßig mal für weniger als die Hälfte der mutigen UVP. Dann kann man aber bedenkenlos zuschlagen.

Producto con descuento por ser "segunda mano", En realidad la oferta es por tener la caja dañada en una esquina. Todo en el interior en perfecto estado. No falta ninguna pieza. Instrucciones claras y de gran tamaño (demasiado). El precio del set es algo elevado, si lo comparamos con otros sets de la marca. El resultado final es muy satisfactorio. La gestión de Amazon perfecta.
