Orbrium Destinations Chuggington Melissa Imaginarium Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Great deal and good quality."
• "They are very well detailed and the magnets on them are really strong."
• "These are something that will last a lifetime and even be handed down, they can keep adding to it if they choose."
• "This train set is positively adorable and I was SHOCKED at how much came with it and how excellent the quality is."
• "They are well made and durable with very nice details and features."
• "These trains are very well made and look especially nice with the tracks that Orbrium Toys makes."
• "All of the train cars are good quality and made of wood and metal."

Cons:

• "The wooden box was broken upon arrival. One of the sides was not glued to the other sides, and I had to tape it down to wrap it for Christmas."
• "Splinters are already breaking off on day one of use."
• "The metal peg that holds the wheels is the piece that broke on both of them, and neither could be fixed so I ended up throwing them away."
• "The wagons are delicates and some sockets breaks easily."
• "One of engines #27 back wheels were stuck and didn't move on the track making it useless the wheels are too tight, bolt looks like it’s damaged and won't go all the way through."
• "Very poor quality. We gave this to our son for Christmas and 2 wooden parts have already broken after only 1 day of light play."
• "The back pieces of the train literally always fall off."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "I told my grandmother about it and she contacted the company and told them what happened and wanted to know if she could just purchase the little car. Not long after that, they mailed her a replacement car for my son!"
• "The first day we got it, we broke the bridge (our fault, not the company’s) and when I wrote asking for a replacement, the company put one in the mail that day."
• "It's a really nice simple set for the price, it's amazing."
• "Great quality and super for the price."
• "These trains are great! Build quality is decent enough but the value is what I love about these the most."
• "I would definitely buy this again."
• "Definitely worth the buy."

Cons:

• "Someone stepped on the plastic bridge and broke part of the connector."
• "One of the cars was missing a pair of wheels."
• "The car that was included had one defective wheel that was misshaped and didn't turn."
• "The train tends to fall off the track more so than the other trains."
• "One of the ramps to the bridge needs to be sanded down for it to be safe for our 3year old to use?!"
• "The problem however, is that because of it being asymmetrical and including junction pieces, a custom track cannot be completed that won't derail, without buying extra pieces, or not including the bridge."
• "The magnates are weak and don’t hold well with more than a few cars."

Compatibility and Assembly

Pros:

• "Easy to set up and put away."
• "All of the pieces fit together, though some are tighter and some looser - expected and not a big deal, they work."
• "The train rolls along the tracks smoothly."
• "These tracks are compatible with the Thomas trains though if you already have some."
• "They fit well on all of our wooden tracks!"
• "The train set also fits well on the Melissa and Doug table!"
• "They've held together very nicely and were compatible with the wood train tracks that we had already purchased."

Cons:

• "The tracks do align, but you have to wiggle it in and it’s hard to pull apart."
• "The track sizes are all unstandardized."
• "The wooden tracks are decent, but the train wheel bases are too skinny and they don't fit across the tracks."
• "My only complaint is the 52 piece claim. There are probably 52 pieces, most of which are little trees and signs and chocking hazards."
• "These are very cute trains, but they are not very compatible with brio train tracks, especially curved tracks."
• "The train track is easy to put together and the little storage box it came with is awesome!"
• "The trains themselves don't seem made for this track, which is odd considering, you know, they ARE made for this track."
