ZURU 6718 Metal Machines Croc Attack Playset

My 3-year old grandson got this for a present. He loves it but there are 2 issues. #1 the only car that will work is the one that comes with it. We tried dozens of matchbox and hot wheels cars and none could make it through. So don't let this car get mixed up with others!! #2 There are these cheap blue barrels (they are actual half barrels, the front side only) that barely stay together, that you are supposed to pile on each other, pull open the closed mouth just enough to get them in to force the mouth open a little. There is no good way to secure them so you just keep trying until you are successful. Then when the car shoots into the dinosaur's mouth the barrels fall out and the jaw clamps shut. Without the barrels you set it up with the dinosaur's mouth in the full open position where it will not close on the car and "eat it"! If there was a better set-up with the barrels it would score much higher with me!

This toy sucks. The instructions are garbage and the concept is weak. How do you win? How does the croc win? Why does the top half of its face fly off when the car hits it? I don't have an alternative recommendation for this but just... Don't get this. The only redeeming quality is the car. But I wouldn't spend $17 on an ugly plastic hot wheels

For the alligator I need a button they eat it. Florida alligator need a button the eat it when it blast in to his mouth
