Matchbox Airport Takeoff Adventure Playset with Diecast Toy Audi Car & Plastic Plane

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun toy for toddlers. Assembly was easy with clear instructions. Holds children’s attention and gives lots of dimension with the movement aspect of the plane/ tower that spins around and the car that you can drive around on the base.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set was well packaged and easy to open and unbox, but it requires assembly. The instructions were mostly clear, but the process was lengthy and not kid friendly. It took us about 30 minutes to complete assembly. The instructions include the application of some incredibly tiny stickers, as well as stickers on difficult surfaces like the rounded control tower. The stickers give you one shot to apply, so if you make a mistake you'll need to break out the scotch tape. The instructions also omit what to do with three pieces. They're not hard to figure out, but it's worth noting. This set has a very limited number of play functions. The plane flies/lands and the hangar door can be manually opened/closed. It comes with both a plane and a car, which is very welcome, but the set ultimately feels a little light. The most glaring omission is the complete lack of sound. Unlike most other Matchbox play sets, this one has no sound. It seems really obvious that pressing the tower should have resulted in the playing of some takeoff/landing related speech and sounds. Many other sets also include lighting elements that this set lacks. Lighting the control tower or the runway seems like another obvious miss. Speaking of the control tower, the tower is lubricated to ensure that it spins correctly. Unfortunately, it appears to come a little over lubricated from the factory as our tower seems to leak a little bit of black lubricant whenever it is spun. We expect this will diminish over time. The theme is a huge draw, and my kids are still enjoying the set, but the lack of function and lights/sounds is a glaring omission that impacts the fun and results in the toy being less than it could be.

Our favorite toys! My son has loved the idea of playing with his cars in this city. It gives him the chance to be imaginative and I like that we can keep buying more to build onto the city. It is made of good quality and this one in particular is large! This has really grown with my son since he was 3. He’s how 6.5 and still plans daily with this and the other parts of his city.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids have been obsessed with airports and airplanes lately so this was the perfect addition to their Matchbox collection. The set includes one die-cast car and one plastic airplane which seems a little flimsy compared to the car, but that is not a dealbreaker for us. There were a lot of pieces and stickers to assemble before it could be used. The instruction booklet is all black and white which made sticker placement a little tricky. Their favorite parts so far have been the door that opens to reveal the attendant and being able to really “fly” the plane by attaching it to the clip on the tower.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not expecting to be as big as it is. My 3 year old loves it and plays with it everyday. I like that it comes with a plane and car. It came with instruction how to put it together and it was super easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were so excited about this toy. They have a ton of matchbox cars that they play with in every way possible every day, but this was our first play set. It was easy to assemble, the kids actually intuitively knew where the pieces went. Some of the stickers were a bit fiddly but they are not essential for use. I love that the toy is both active and passive. Most of the play still revolves around their imagination and active movement of the cars, but there are some fun features like the plane coming in for a landing and the passenger coming out for their ride. The kids noticed right away that there were spots to connect it with other sets so i already know what they want for their birthdays. The pieces are made of durable plastic and fit together easily. It also disassembles easily for storage. They will spend hours with this airport set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This airport was a tad tedious to put together, and the instructions could be more friendly- but...once it was assembled, it was AWESOME! There is plenty of room to roll cars, a clip on the control tower to "fly" planes, and a bunvh of other fun airport details to play with. My five year old loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a playset that turns playtime into an epic adventure, the Matchbox Takeoff Adventure Playset is an absolute winner! My little one hasn’t stopped grinning since we unboxed it—and honestly, I might’ve stolen a turn or two myself. The highlight? The realistic control tower lets kids “fly” the plane just like the pros! Clip the plane onto the handle, taxi down the runway, and whoosh—launch it into the air with a smooth lever motion. But the magic doesn’t stop there: press the button on the tower, and the plane glides back down for a picture-perfect landing. My kid loves shouting, “Touchdown!” every single time. The interactive details are genius. The Audi e-tron toy car isn’t just a cool add-on—drive it up to the terminal, and the doors swing open to reveal a luggage-toting attendant. Plus, the hangar doors actually open and close, making refueling and “maintenance” feel like part of the story. (Pro tip: The hangar’s also a great spot for stashing the plane after a long day of flights!) What really sold me? The expandable design. We connected it to our existing Matchbox tracks, and suddenly, the airport became the centerpiece of a whole mini-city. It’s awesome seeing my kiddo mix storytelling with hands-on play—whether they’re orchestrating a busy travel day or rescuing a stranded toy car. Final boarding call: This playset is a blast for kids who love planes, cars, or just dreaming up big adventures. The mix of realistic features and creative freedom makes it a standout. Whether it’s a gift or a surprise “just because,” prepare for liftoff… in both fun and imagination!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to put together, nice detailed set that keeps my sons attention. It is an excellent sized addition to other Matchbox sets that we have but also doesn't take up a lot of space to store it. Very entertaining.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cute set, however it’s a little hard to fit some of the pieces together. The cars and plane are nice quality and should last a long time. I would buy other sets to complete this one for my little ones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This airport matchbox toy is so amazing! It’s so easy to put together and so much fun to play with, I would say this toy is great for all ages from 2+ but just because I’m saying 2 doesn’t mean a 10 year old wouldn’t love it because they would I just mean it’s easy to play with so all ages would love it

Awesome set! Came well packaged!
