About the product

Your child can build Roary, Maxi, or Tin Top – the stars of Silver Hatch Racetrack!  Sets include 16+ chunky pieces for easy building fun along with accessories and road signs for exciting after-building play!  Sets also include adapter that lets cars run on popular train track systems you may already own.  Clean up and storage is easy with the fun customized storage containers!   For ages 3+.

Our Thoughts

I am always impressed with the products that K*Nex has.   This time, they have taken a popular character on television and brought it to live with their blocks!  We don’t know Roary has we don’t have cable on our television.   But from what I have seen on the show’s website, it looks very cool.   I wouldn’t be surprised that little boys who are watching it love the little racing car.   

Once the Roary is build I find it is quite sturdy to roll on anything.    Also included in the package is a cup and a post sign that indicate a direction.     The colors are bright and the fact that the character is a race car will catch the attention of any little boy you might know.

What is fantastic is that all of the Roary the Racing Car sets include an adapter that lets kids use their car on many popular toy train tracks! (see image below)  Inside the package you will find a special set of wheels to include on your Roary to use on the toy train tracks.    I think this is a fantastic idea as many people have such a train track for their boys.   K*Nex has been very proactive to include the wheels for the train track I find and it makes their product more versatible and easy to adapt.   It takes literally seconds to transform the Roary toy to roll on the train track.

Please note that right now these products are only available at Toys ‘R’ Us and online at toysrus.com .

Now I am wondering if the next cool products of K*Nex will be the Angry Birds building sets….  That would be totally cool!
