Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We got this for our son's third birthday (along with a DVD on aircraft carriers and a trip to the USS Midway in San Diego). Of course, he absolutely loves it and although he's only had it for about 2 weeks now, has played with it every day. It is huge, with 2 catapaults to launch the supplied aircraft that come with it, and also has a few great sounds/flashing lights. It is quite a realistic recreation of an A/C carrier and must say that, having been heavily into aircraft as I was growing up, am tempted to rewind the years and play with it myself sometimes! The only couple of negatives I would say are:
1) The planes supplied with it are made-up ones, more akin to alien aircraft. They aren't any of the usual fighter jets you would see on real carrier. Not a huge deal, but a little odd, given everything else is pretty realistic.
2) The planes are also made out of thin plastic, which is probably intentional given that one of the features is to be able to catapault these off the deck. However, I do question durability.
3) The bridge of the ship is a seperate piece that slots into the main deck. However, the slot is pretty thin and it easily keeps coming off - I am considering glueing this down.
Having said the above, the ship is pretty large and durable overall and has space to store the supplied planes beneath the main deck. Love the aircraft elevator too! To conclude, I would say it is on the pricey side for what it is (paid $55 on Amazon), but my son does love it so probably worth it in the end!
