“The "Time Cruisers" series have had some good sets, but this set in particular is really great. When the wheels move, the propeller spins and the side circles spin to. The set even comes with a cart full of different time period hats. The Hypno Cruiser is a good set and if... More your looking for a playable set with rare pieces.”

“The Time Cruisers theme is a perfect distillation of 90s styling, but it was also surprisingly innovative from a technical standpoint. Each vehicle in the theme used a simple mechanical feature; as it rolled forward, parts of it would spin. Six different vehicles appeared... More under the Time Cruisers umbrella, and each of them approached this concept from a slightly different direction.”
