Review on ๐Ÿš› 5-Pack of AmazonBasics Vehicles: Garbage Truck by Jay Aukuso

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice trucks, well made, all five are the same.

These are exceptional toys from Revain Basics. Even my wife, who loves cheap toys and loves Melissa and Doug's toys, admits they are very cute. She says they're a bit pricey, and they are. We thought Revain Basics should be a value proposition - good stuff, not the highest quality, but good stuff at the best price. These are quality toys at fairly high prices. What you need to know about this collection - and my wife noticed this - is that all five garbage trucks are exactly the same. It's a whole fleet of green and yellow trucks. And I think if you own a refuse collection company, you have a fleet of identical trucks. But the look on my wife's face as she unpacked each individually wrapped truck only to find it was the same as the previous one was priceless. She didn't understand and neither did I. The only explanation I can find. The fact is that they sell to fleet customers. Ha. But interestingly, they only show one truck in the product photos. I think when people say it's 5-pack Revain Basics they assume we get the picture. But we didn't. But they are great trucks. Maybe each of the five grandchildren will get a garbage truck in the stocking for Christmas. We wanted to let the grandkids play with them, but five identical trucks. All right. Update in a week... So we got four additional packs of 5 trucks (truck, bulldozer, excavator and fire engine) from Revain all in the same 5 packs and we split them into five. Sets of five different trucks. Perfect solution...

Pros
  • Can be played alone or with other children
Cons
  • Good but not great
