hornby or tomica?

[frazzled74]

which for a 4 year old boy? the hornby toy story 3 train set or tomica road and rail? can anyone advise please?

I would say probably the Tomica one. I have a completely train obsessed 5 year old DS and we got him a Horby train set last christmas as it was literally all he asked for all year and although its absolutely lovely its very very fiddly and the train comes off the track a lot of the time. Its been relegated to the loft and he's gone back to playing with his wooden one and the Thomas one (which is a Tomy one very similar to the Tomica one I think!)

We looked at the Tomica one as well cause Im sure even now he'd love it (he's 6 after christmas) but I just can't justify yet another train set.

So I would steer clear of the Hornby one for a year or so yet and get the Tomica one-Hope that helps a bit.

thanks, he has some of the tomy thomas track that fits with tomica, so it does seem more practical, cheaper too !
