Sorry boring I know.
DS (5) has asked for a hotwheels set for a Christmas. It is all that he really wants but there are soooo many.
Can anyone please recommend one that is going to get played with for more than 5 minutes?
Thanks

DS7 has been obsessed with Hot Wheels since he was tiny, so we've got loads! His favourite things are the actual cars themselves to be honest, most of the playsets have amused him for a little while and then been abandonded - including the massive Ultimate Garage that he never plays with anymore but will not let me get rid of! Likewise the Toxic Gorilla... He still loves getting the cars but I don't really buy him the sets anymore. Some of them don't really work the way they're expected to and end up being more frustrating than anything else.

If your DS really wants a playset however, the two that DS plays with more than any other are firstly the Drag Strip Champion (this one on Amazon), which is good because it can be taken apart and rebuilt easily, and you can buy more track for it if he wants to make it longer. The other is the Roll Out Raceway (this one), which can be folded up and you can keep some cars in it. He likes doing tournaments with both of those!

Lots of cars and some basic "loop de loop" track is best and great fun.
(Smyths also have little packets of Hot Wheels trading cards for £1 which can be a fun little stocking fillers).

For my son it’s all about the Ultimate T Rex Transporter 🤣 He’s getting the Mario Kart Hot Wheels track for his birthday in a few days though.
