I don’t know very many 5 year old boys that aren’t interested in at least one of the following: building (or breaking down and building over and over again), things that move (drive, fly, float), Pirates (guys, action figures in general), animals (sea creatures, wild animals), things that shoot (missiles, cannons), and just using their imagination. My 5 year old son is no exception and loves it all and you can find it all included in one set: The Matchbox Mega Rig Pirate Ship.

Provided by Mattel this is #1 on my son’s wish list this Holiday. Now I wanted this to be a surprise for him, and it will remain that way, but I had to open it up and check it out for myself before wrapping it up and placing it under the tree. It is solidly made and is sure to create hours of imaginative play for my little guy with the endless combination’s presented. The accessories include a giant squid with suction cup tentacles, a pirate chest, 2 pirates and more. The ship itself, which can be rebuilt over and over in any fashion he chooses can float in water or drive on land. You cannot go wrong with this for any little boy in your life recommended for ages 4-12 (and up) .

In addition you can purchase the Mega Rig Pirates Lair, or the Croc Escape among many others. Be sure to head to Mattel to seek out all there is to choose from and order in time to receive Free Ground Shipping!
