Amazon.com Product Description
Ahoy, Mateys! This totally portable and storable 360 Pop-Up Pirate Island means kids can take the fun with them wherever they go. Simply crack open the case to reveal an adventure landscape complete with accessories. The pirate ship area has two tall masts with flying Jolly Roger flags and a deck large enough to accommodate the included matchbox vehicle. Croc Cove might be something you want to quietly venture through so as to not disturb the huge reptile that lives there--and is no doubt looking for lunch. The forbidden inland may be the best route to treasure lagoon where there’s tale of buried gold, but you’ll have to make that call. You can also ward off any enemies with the firing gun. Or you can decide to relocate your island entirely. Just fold up the pirates, crocodile, treasure chest, and car in the carrying case and walk away. No assembly is required, and other Matchbox cars purchased separately can be used with the set.

Two boys' review: 2 boys + 1 Pirate Island = Hours & hours of fun Posted 05 October 2008
My wife and I intended this toy to be a traveling companion since it folds up in an easy-to-carry case. Once our two boys -- ages 5 and 4 -- opened it up, they were entranced for hours. They quickly incorporated other pirate toys and Matchbox cars and pulled me down on their floor rug, where we role played pirate adventures.
"Papa, watch out for the crocodile!"
The toy is durable but you can't abuse it. There are lots of small parts -- pirates, cannonballs and a crocodile that snap into place.
This playset is best enjoyed with more than one person, kids and adults.
Falls apart & doesn't close properly Posted 24 September 2008
My son got this present for his birthday and he LOVED it, played with it a lot, etc... buuuuut after 2 months the toy woudn't close properly and the pieces (ramps) were breaking, falling off, and the closing latches fell off as well. Anyway, the toy is fun, the kids still play with it but it's not that well made and really isn't something that will last too long.
Fell apart Posted 19 August 2008
My daughter requested this item for Christmas last year. It was her number one priority gift.
The design is wonderful and the portability aspect was ideal.
Unfortunately, the thing disintegrated from there. At first it opened and closed easily and we were amazed. But after about one week of (not especially rough)play, pieces started to fall by the day. It is merely a skeleton of what it once was.
If it only had held up it would be a wonderful toy.
They don't make things like they used to:(
Pirate adventure Posted 03 July 2008
Birthday present for 3 year old grandson. Wonderful creative fun. He and his 5 year old brother love the 3 demensional play area. Parents enjoy the easy pop up assembly and easy clean up since it all fits in to it's own carrying case. Carrying case also has room for the extra pirates I purchased. It was great seeing the boys play quietly,createing pirate adventures and just having fun together.
Son plays with this often Posted 14 March 2008
My 3 year old son loves this toy. He plays with it a lot. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has small playing pieces that always get misplaced temporarily.
