I was sent this toy to review. The opinions expressed are my own…and my little guys opinion about this “AWESOME DINO TOY”. When the Dino Construction Wrecker The T-Rex Skid Loader came, I didn’t even get a chance to get it out of the box before Talon started jumping up and down! He asked, “My Dino? Momma, mine. PLEASE?” How can anyone say no to that. I quickly got it out of the package and my excited boy ran out my back door. He loves outdoor play, the dirtier he gets the happier he is! I followed him outside. We had put the sand box away for winter and I was curious what he would do. That didn’t stop him. He found the only patch of dirt on the side of my house where we keep our garbage cans (yikes) and he was digging away.

He quickly noticed that the tracks that it left in the dirt was DINO TRACKS he was in heaven! I noticed that the product was made out of quality material, it was built tough enough to withstand my Tornado! (that’s Talon’s earned nickname) I also, like that I didn’t have to put batteries in it. It is ran on kid-power alone! has been a big hit with Talon but also with my six year old son too! If you have a little guy that loves playing with trucks, dinosaurs, outdoors and in this is the perfect Christmas gift!
