Batteries not included because batteries are not needed.
I love this car set from Tomy. It is the pull-back type which winds up and goes. We got this set for GI when he was still very young. It has served us well over the years. Fortunately we still have enough tracks to enable the cars to just keep going ... and going ... and going.
We would set up cars to go one after another. After a while, the car which we had set off first would 'run out of steam' and the other cars would end up pushing it along the tracks. Other times, we would set the cars off at different areas of the tracks. The cars would sort of follow each other around and the kids would watch intently. They would get excited when the cars approached the intersection at the same time. They would scream out warnings as if the cars could do something about the impending collision.
We used to have four different cars which could go around the tracks. We are now down to two decent ones. Here is one close up.
The cars go through the Drive-thru Burger Stand.
Afterwards, they have the option of going around the tracks, or turning the corner and heading for home.
We brought out this set so that the visiting cousins could have some toys to play with. When we got the tracks set up. GI said, "Didn't these cars and tracks used to be bigger?"
"No son, you just used to be much smaller. Now turn the car around again and wind it up for your cousin."
