I would go with the smart industries toy chest. i use these and I am very happy with them.

All of these cranes are very similar. I do not operate a toy soldier crane but i do operate smart and coast to coast cranes. I am somewhat unhappy with quality of coast to coast cranes but people swear by them i think mainly due to price. My smart cranes

are great, I have no problems with them besides the occasional mech or broken string type of problem. That said, they are very easy to break in to. I would consider buying a toy soldier due to the fact they have a better reliability reputation than coast to coast and yet they also dont have the design flaw that smart improt cranes have.
