Title: Purchased at my son's request
Product review: My 4-year-old carefully made his case for why he needed this item for his Thomas Wooden Railway set. The way he asked for it without actually asking for it was so clever that we let him purchase it with money from his piggy bank. He was so excited when the box arrived! He LOVES this set (3 pieces) and plays with it constantly - even after having had it for a few months. I'm a little disappointed that the extra cars meant to support the boom arm aren't designed well enough to actually do that (the magnets are set in the wrong place), but that doesn't affect its play value in any way, nor has my son had any trouble maneuvering Rocky's boom arm through his sometimes elaborate layouts. I'd recommend this character, especially if your child is a fan of the Thomas movie "Hero of the Rails."
