Amazon.com Product Description

Perfectly appointed for daring animal rescues, Diego's Talking Rescue Center offers two sides of playing fun. Filled with the sights, sounds, and songs of the popular preschool series Go, Diego, Go!, this two-level, talking playset comes equipped with much of what Diego needs to leap into action, including cool details like jungle vine ziplines and a rooftop helicopter hook. With 70 rescue scenarios available at the click of button, Diego introduces information about animal sounds and habitat, encouraging kids to connect with the natural world.

Like his cousin Dora the Explorer, adventure-loving Diego rallies his friends with cheerful commands in Spanish and English, urging kids to overcome obstacles and complete the rescue with a joyful, "Mision cumplida! Rescue complete!". Five animal friends, including Baby Jaguar, are included to aid an articulated Diego figure on his adventures. Zip down the rescue cord and speed through the jungle on an ATV, or head up the elevator and climb aboard the helicopter. After the rainforest rescue is complete, the whole gang can relax in the well-appointed treehouse. Easily assembled, Diego's Talking Rescue Center requires 3 AA batteries (included). --Heather Lyndon

Good toy, kind of pricey for what you get. - Reviewed on 2008-11-05

First off, I think this toy is way overpriced for what you get. Sure it's big, but it's not that much stuff when you get down to it.

My 4-year old son got this for his birthday, and hasn't stopped playing with it yet. We've set it up on our dining room table, and he loves hopping right up on the table and playing with all the characters. He can entertain himself for 30minutes to an hour with it in one sitting, at least.

I do have some quality issues with the product. There is a folding floor that extends from the main rescue center part that is very easy to break off if you apply too much pressure. I can already see some "white plastic" where the plastic is stretching out when this happens. It doesn't take much more than a rough kid to break it off.

The zip line is also kind of awkward, in that at the end, you have this small orange shelter, and Diego falls so quickly and hits the shelter it doesn't seem very "fun" to me, but kids like it.

Bottom line, it's overpriced, but if you can get it cheap, I'd pick it up. As with most large toys like this, you really need a good place to put it as it takes up a lot of room.

The order came on time. It was represented correctly by the seller. It was in perfect condition. My grandson has been playing with it since that time. I would recommend the seller to anyone.

My son, 2 3/4 years, loves this toy. He plays with it almost every day. He played with it for hours on end the first night we had it. He love playing diego with all his friends. The toy is easy to assemble. It comes apart easily, but can be reassembled by my 2 year old with no trouble. He enjoys taking it apart and putting it back together. The only issue I've had with the quality of the toy is that the flap on the back that gives extra room in the treehouse comes off easily and cannot be put back by my son. Overall...this is a great toy. Take note that the backpack and zip line have changed since these pictures. The zip line is now a straight stiff line and the backpack snaps on to be easier than the loops.
Cabin Falls Apart... - Reviewed on 2008-03-11

It looked great on Christmas morning. It was played with for a bit - and then, boys being boys, they really played with it. And it kept falling apart. Pretty soon we were on a constant, "Fix this!" rotation. It got bad, we just put the cabin on the floor, instead of the stilts. This ruined the look, of course, so we put it back together - and even then, the playability factor just slowly went down hill.

We were disappointed with the overall toy. The Diego piece, the animals and the vehicles were very much fun - and they lasted much longer than the Rescue Center. We should have just bought the accessory sets, instead. Because that's all we played with: vehicle and diego pieces.

Might be a good toy for a gentle play-er, but we don't have any of those here.
Son loves it! But quality is not great. - Reviewed on 2008-01-16

My almost 3 yr old son LOVES it! He has played with is several times since putting it together last night and is playing with it now.
I have the same complaints as everyone else, the quality of the construction of the toy is less than desirable. The swinging door does not stay shut, the zip cord comes off when Diego slides down it, Diego is extremely hard to get into the "rescue pack" to slide down, the extension piece on the top level does not sit straight, the elevator is hard to move up and down, and the "legs" do not snap in and stay in place... so everytime you try to move the elevator and have to use force the entire top comes off since the legs pop out. It also would have been nice if it came with Alicia or at least gave you the option of buying an expansion pack that includes her. [...]
