Thomas and Friends 3D Trick-or-Treat Pail

Not sure what happened in other reviews, but I'm rating this bucket high. It came preassembled but wasnt quite snapped all the way. After careful examination I saw how to finish snapping it together and it was perfect. Yeah, it has a little rough patch here or there but nothing more than you'd expect in a PLASTIC kids bucket. Still holding up days later with lots of rough play. I'm so glad I took the chance and bought it. It is NOT completely sealed for liquid or sand so dont expect it to work for that, but great for toys!

It looks like it can break easily, but my rough boy plays with it everyday and still doesn’t break lol

It was in 2 prices when it arrived; but, it snapped together easily. There is a seam that runs around the entire bucket; but, it still looked great with my son's conductor costume. He loves it and carries it everywhere.

This item arrived on scheduled and well packaged. The item is made out of hard plastic including the clips that are located on the sides and bottom. My Grandson who is into Thomas the train engine loves it. Pro: It is hard plastic and should take the beating that a 3 1/2-year-old will put it through. Pro: The opening is wide enough for his little hand to drop things in without getting scratched. Cons: The latches/tabs on the side and bottom were ( as many have reported) my biggest concern. The two sides of the item arrived attached-bing held mainly by the side tabs. The bottom tab was attached -but I could see daylight-so it wasn't attached completely. Thanks to the other people placing a review- the tabs were my biggest concern. The bottom tab has a long center tab with clicked into an opening. This was not connected and the reason for the daylight. I unhooked the side tabs and then the bottom and carefully reattached all the tabs making sure that the bottom tab was fully inserted into the opening. Once that was done, the pal was tightly connected and ready for my grandson to use. additional comments: My grandson discovered the pal early and started to play with it. He filled the pal with his matchbox cars-so it was a bit heavy...to the point he could barely lift it. It was a great test and it passed with flying colors. Suggestion to the manufacturer. Since the pal looks like Thomas-adding wheels to the bottom or offering a coster of some type that could be attached to the bottom would be something worth considering. My grandson picked up the pal and tried to roll it along the floor like any other Thomas train or matchbox car. Is the price a bit high for this...yes, I think so. If the little Thomas in your life is going to dress up as Thomas for Halloween or just for fun, it is a great fun tool for teaching them how to pick up their toys.

Opened the box - it comes assembled and noticed one of the clips is broken as well as the stickers are peeling off on some of the corners. Tags are still on, so unless someone returned it and I got a returned item this Thomas train bucket isn’t fantastic. It will work for trick or treating, but sad that it’s not good quality. I don’t have time to exchange as I need it for something now.

I almost didn't purchase this item due to the reviews saying some were received broken and not sturdy, but ours came in great condition, all in one piece, and our son loves it!

I wasn't quite sure was to expect with this but I was surprised that it is made out of plastic and seems to be very sturdy! My son is going to be a train conductor for Halloween and this will be his candy pail. It looks like it will hold a bunch of candy well. It comes flat and you just snap it into place.

I bought this for my 2 year olds halloween costume last year. He plays with it nearly everyday and used it again this year for Halloween. It has held up great. At first I thought it was a rip off but after it has held up so well with my rough little boy for over a year I feel like I got my money's worth. It's still is great condition. I paid $15 for it and it was well worth it.
