Operating Instructions
The Hot Wheels City T-Rex Blaze Battle Playset offers dynamic and unpredictable play. Follow these steps to engage in battle:
- Place Car: Position the included 1:64 scale die-cast Hot Wheels car (or another compatible Hot Wheels vehicle) onto the launcher at the base of the track.
- Launch Car: Press the launcher mechanism firmly to send the car speeding up the spiral track towards the T-Rex.
- Observe Outcomes: There are three main outcomes as the car interacts with the T-Rex:
- Get Eaten and Pooped Out: If the car hits the T-Rex's mouth at a certain angle, it may be "eaten" and then released from the rear of the playset.
- Detour to Fuel Station: The car might be diverted to the fuel station for a "pit stop" before re-entering the action.
- Conquer the Beast: A successful launch can cause the T-Rex's eyes to spin and its arms to shake, ultimately leading to its collapse, signifying victory.
- Reset and Re-launch: After each outcome, reset the T-Rex (if it collapsed) and retrieve your car to prepare for the next battle. The T-Rex can be manually reset to its upright position.

| T-Rex eyes do not spin or T-Rex does not fall. | Car not hitting the activation point correctly; mechanism obstruction. | Adjust launch angle and force to ensure the car makes solid contact with the T-Rex's activation lever. Check for any debris or foreign objects obstructing the T-Rex's internal mechanism. |
| Playset components detach during play. | Loose connections; excessive force during play. | Re-attach any detached components, ensuring they click securely into place. Remind users to handle the playset with appropriate force during play. |
