This post gives a quick review of Fastlane garbage truck. Fastlane garbage truck is a good toy but it has a big issue which doesn't make buying attractive.
* The big problem is with the blue garbage bin holder , the attachment to the garbage truck is too fragile and it broke after few weeks.
When i say fragile to use, Kids have to fix the yellow garbage bin to the holder and they lift the lever up to dump the garbage into the truck. The concept is good and very attractive one for kids. Unfortunately as this gets used too many times in the life of the toy, it is also the bit of the toy which is most prone to get broken because of repetitive hooking and unhooking of the garbage bin to the holder. The motor (or the pulling bit inside ) is attached to the lever by 1-2cm thick plastic , it is too weak for long term use. I would suggest the toy manufacturers to build it with a stronger, better material.
I bought the toy for £19.99 in uk , original price was £29.99. Other than Achilles heel of holder ,the whole toy itself is good. It has flashing lights , you can lift the back body to dump the garbage. It simulates the real life very well. And also for the money i paid i think its good value.
In the above pictures you can see different features of the garbage truck itself.
