Matchbox Action Drivers Matchbox Transportation Center Playset - Unboxing, Build, and Review (2024)

Beautiful Set

The Helicopeter its cool, but the Boat can be biggers

I'm getting this to add to my action driver sets, I have them all except the volcano, fire 🔥 set bro 💯 great video, I'm going to order it from Amazon right now ASAP, thanks didn't know this was out 💯🔥🔥🔥 I didn't want the volcano.

Try contacting the ferry port on the opposite side

You know when it's a big set when it's the first one with a Montague

Heck yeah I am glad I am back to this channel! I was here like 4 years ago.
OMG just 10 comments? This channel is underrated!

I need this now

Hello 64: First, I appreciate your unboxing and review. I just went on AMAZON, and it appears that the only way to purchase this playset is if you buy a "bundle." They have it bundled with other Action Drivers playsets. I grabbed the cheapest bundle (which comes with the gas station), which I don't really need since I already have two, but it was the most logical based on the price point, which was right around $50.00. Perhaps AMAZON is trying to get rid of its inventory of older sets. Anyhow, about this playset. Now that I have seen it, I agree that this is perhaps the best "parking garage" playset, and your logic of making it a "centerpiece" makes perfect sense. Oddly, it doesn't come with lights and sound; that would have pushed my opinion over the top. I'd like to ask you about attaching the Ferry Terminal. Was it possible to attach it based on connecting the roads? Thinking the area across from the ice cream vendor. In real life, the ferry service would be attached to the road and separate from the rest of the dock. I'll find out for myself when I get my set. Lastly, I hope the list of "places" you read is a teaser- for what we will see coming for the holidays. That would really be nice. Finally, once again, thanks to both you and your wife. She appears to be very helpful, and her comments were also very helpful.

Again a nice set👍

🎉

that looks great. I wonder if the ferry boat could dock to that to drop cars off?

YES YES THE NEW MATCHBOX BUILDING!!!

I don't know Sam, I'm on the fence with this one. No lights, no sounds...the Police Station alone has over 10 unique sounds because its a call and response type communication between Dispatch and Unit, but that tells a story.
I am unsure what story this Transportation set is trying to get over other than the failed attempt to suggest other modes of transport.
Here's some ideas for MB designers, put a sound toggle switch at the bus stop so the bus can activate it when it arrives. That drives us to go get the MB city bus. Use a lighted lift arm at the dock when the boat/ferry arrives. Let the cars going down trigger sounds and announcements. Geez, they could have done a lot more for $40. But what do I know, I'm just average Joe spending my money, NOT!

Not having parking spaces on each level to store cars is really strange for parking garage. Also having the gate at the second level to stop the car half ways seems odd. The car should launch all the way from the top.

I kinda like how the train station sticker looks like the NY subway. The old-school Brooklyn boy in me approves of that. Wonder if the kids would dig the set...

Its a plastic boat because you can play in the water?

This is cool, not much parking garage but still really cool. Wouldn't be cool to see an action drivers train set? Like a freight train with an auto rack car, or something like that. But we really need is a car dealership of some kind. But, what do I want? A Saab. A Saab made by matchbox or hot wheels. Mattel is, well pretty much all 1:64 die cast manufacturers are missing is a Saab or two, the only way I've been able to find 1:64 scale Saabs, are vintage releases that are hard to find, or 3d prints. Saabs were, and still are, a niche brand. So that's probably why they haven't been able to make them (and licensing from a dead company) but it would be so cool to have something Mattel made that's a Saab.

I don't care for this set. I'm not going to buy it.
There is no real life building that looks like this.
This a child's toy

Oh, I really like this! Reminds me of the Hot Wheels Spin City set I had when I was a kid. Now then...if you're sick of Matchbox parking garages, why not give the HW Ultimate Garages a spin? I've got the Super Ultimate Garage and I absolutely adore it.

I would put this and the ferry set on opposite ends of a setup. Because the boats need 2 different points of interest to travel to and from. If they're next to each other it looks cool but where ya goin?

amazing and beautiful in overall but I wish it had a little bit more details

awesome

I love your revies on these sets and keep up the good work

Rather disappointed that mattel have been cheaping out. It really wouldn’t hurt to have a metal heli and boat. Reminds me of them removing operational airplane wheels and rip 6 wheels cars.

Would love to see one of those DIY model channels take one of these and make them really detailed, just a thought i had

Best play set ever! For kids!

When did this release

definetly buying this. just got rid of an older garage so i can really upgrade

Out already. Nice set. Can put Top Gun aircraft carrier next to it.

Hi my name is William my account The reason it says zandria because that’s my moms but I know why you couldn’t get the the dock down you have to back the boat up to the orange douck yeah

Anybody got a good recommendation for a set? (Excluding airport, ferry port and parking garage)

I have a few ideas for matchbox playset including a 50’s diner cement works recycling centre city park news station post office and a drive-in movie theatre

I didnt realize this is a new thing and this set is new, it thought it was always around, i built this for my 4 year old yesterday, he is obsessed with it, so i decided to buy 5 more sets, just built 3 today, now waiting for pizza hut and fedex lmao, not gonna lie my inner child agreed with my son on getting more right away, this stuff is awesome, where was this when i was 4? all i had was legos and a road rug with flat buildings!

my son likes to create traffic in the lot all the way to the top, press the helicopter button and flood the streets with cars lol, this is a very creative set, and the ferri is new, never seen before in a matchbox set, correct me if im wrong, hopefully they add some skyscrapers, this is the tallest building in the city next to the construction site i believe.

New subscriber here! Great review on this set. Back in the 70s, my dad got me a matchbox parking garage set for Christmas. You could build it 2 or 3 different ways. Hours of fun. Also, not far from Dayton here!

I got this today

Would be cool if Matchbox made these stuff more realistic instead of toy-ish or maybe releases a new line for older market because I personally would love to have one of these for diorama and photography purposes made officially by Matchbox

I'm so excited to get this set! Thanks for the review- it's tiding me over till my package gets here lol

Cheers from Hungary! I will order this for my 4-year-old son. He plays a lot with the other smaller parking garage set with the elevator. He will love this one.

I love these so much like I wanna get them all and just have a city district just for them. But I currently own 4 so far😅 not sure where to get more

Does the transportation centre sign to the very left of the set spin around because it will stick into the other set that you put it next to.

I have that one

Do you happen to know any info on future planned releases for new matchbox action driver city sets? I hope they keep releasing new ones!

The aircraft ship could look nice 8n the dooks. I have a 1981 matchbox aircraft in very good condition no marks or scratches
