We received a MEGA Bloks set from the Hot Wheels line call the Super Race 8 in 1. I saw this at Toy Fair and it looked cute for younger kids to create various hot wheels inspired cars to play with. These cars are not as detailed as the rest of the Hot Wheels line from MEGA Bloks but they are still fun to build. Opinions are 100% my own as usual.

Andrew helped me with this product review. I figures this would be a fun set for the two of us to work on. He’s a little young for the set and building but he sure helps separate the colors and pieces well.

The set has 289 pieces and with it you can make eight different cars per the instructions. But you can make tons of cars based on your imagination. We haven’t gotten to the build by imagination stage yet. I was trying to get them all build so that Andrew could play with each of the cars directly.

I like how MEGA Bloks has created these cars to look like various Hot Wheels cars. At first I wasn’t sold on most of the wheels that didn’t have rubber on them. However the rubber-less wheels were actually pretty fast when you zoom the cars around.

It always amazes me how much small elements can be used to add cool detail to the cars. I wouldn’t think to use some of the elements to make these cars but after making all eight I got a couple of ideas.

This was a fun set to build and I think that as Andrew gets older he’ll use the set to build all sorts of different race cars. This is certainly a set that sparks imagination for creation.
