Not even worth the $5. 
2006-12-31
I got this for my grandson (6) who wanted it because of the commercials. As stated by most of the other reviewers, it just doesn't work. Everyone who bought it should be able to get their money back, or Mattel should send each one a free car that will work. It's a piece of junk. The Terrordactyl works very well, but you'd be crazy to buy the crazy croc. Maybe we should all send them back to the Company with out complaints.
Crazy Croc is a piece of "Croc" 2006-12-31
I purchased Crazy Croc even after reading all the bad reviews, but my son really wanted it so I bought it for him for Christmas anyway. It was the worst gift i've ever bought....please don't even waste your money....trust me, check the reviews first, now that's worth it....
Lame, toy! 2006-12-27
Leave this one "on the shelf"!! A "Hotwheels" product which doesn't come with "wheels"!????!!! Who would have thought at $25.00 it doesn't come with a car and then they have the nerve to make it not work with other Hotwheels cars!! This is a very annoying junk toy which was such a disappointment to my son Christmas morning. I would not have been so disatisfied had I shopped on Amazon and got it for the price being offered now--$5.00!!
Very Disappointed 2006-12-26
Ho Ho Ho!!
My 6 year old has been asking for this toy for about 6 months now and today he finally got it. He's had it for about 5 hours now and is already tired of it. We've tried no less that 20 different cars and have yet been able to get it to work. The only thing it seems to do consistently is play that obnoxious sound over and over again (if you know how to turn the sound off, let me know. I'm ready to remove the batteries or clip the speaker wire).
Do not buy this toy. You'll be very disappointed in it.
Big disappointment 
2006-12-22
We bought this croc for our son (5) who loves anything Hot Wheels and found that most of the cars don't work with this. Also, the sounds are annoying to the point of my son wanting it to stop.. which is very rare. Half of the time the crocs mouth won't drop shut, and I agree with one of the other reviews saying that it's nearly impossible to get the car in the boat. We tried and tried and got it in there once. Most of the time the car never even made it to the boat because it flipped over after dropping from the crocs mouth. Amazon is correct in charging only $5 for this toy, it's not worth any more than that.
Hot Wheels Crazy Croc of Crap 2007-05-25
My son had some birthday money and could pick any toy in the store. We just assembled it and attempted to play with it and my 6 year old is completely disappointed and I am as well. Do toy makers not test this stuff before they put it out on the public?? I wanted to spare you from making the same mistake..make another toy choice. Makes me feel like I need to go to the toy store with a preapproved list of researched toys.
workes sometimes... 2007-02-26
Most of the other reviews for this toy are correct. when it works my kids love it. and it is pretty cool when it works. but it doesn't work very well very often. you need to find just the right car and everything needs to line up exactly. and even then the car crashes a lot. we have found one car (out of about 200) that works somewhat well. but even with this car the success rate is about 1 in 15. so, read the reviews and make your own judgements. personally, i'm glad this was a gift and i did not spend any money on it. my kids will still play with and enjoy it, but not as much as they would if it worked better.
problems in quality control 
2007-01-18
I happened to have 4 of these and gave them to kids and check how they play.
2 out of 4 work fine. most of cars fit into the slot and kids love to play with. the other 2 have a problem to fit the car and the spring in the boat does not work properly so the car stopped when it get in the boat.
manufacture needs to do quality control on these item so that customer does not have some defective product
Works Great for us!

After reading all the negative reviews, I was hesitant to buy this toy for my son. but he really wanted it, and everytime he saw the commercial he went nuts!! I bought it in September and put it away for Christmas. He talked about this thing almost everyday! Finally on Christmas morning, he discovered that Santa left it for him. It didn't require much assembly, Just sliding ramps onto the croc. Our Crazy Croc works perfectly 7 out of 10 times. It's good for him to see that things don't work exactly the same every time. We have a great time with it. The noises it makes are pretty cool, it burps and laughs and says a few phrases, but thankfully it can be shut off. My 3 1/2 year old LOVES it. The key is to make sure everything is lined up, and to find a car that fits it. We have about 50 different cars, and most of them fit. He has his favorites, and most of them fit. Not every car has to fit, Isn't that the beauty of the world? That everything is different, works different and gives different results for different people? I'm certainly glad we got it!!
Do not buy this toy! 2006-12-31
No wonder they are selling a 30 dollar toy for 5 bucks, it does not work and the quality is sub par. I have three boys so we get alot of hotwheels toys and this one is the worst I have seen. Do not take if it was free. Garbarge and disappointment await. I gave one star because you have to, but I would give negitive stars if I could.
