DISCLOSURE: K’nex sent product to facilitate my review. All opinions stated are my own.
A couple of weeks ago a large box arrived at my door and it was like Christmas morning for Wyatt! Why, you might ask? Well, the box was filled with K’nex building sets and figures. Wyatt loves to build and this was right up his alley. Pair this with the fact that we have extra time on our hands, since it is summer, and we have one happy, occupied and quiet boy.
Here is a list of the products that we received to try and what Wyatt thought of them:
K’NEXmen Mystery Figures 2 pack – Lets face it, what fun is building if you don’t have cool people to drive, fly, control and use your creations. Wyatt loves these little people and has created games around these fun figures. His favorite person he got was the green alien guy. The K’NEXmen are compatible with all leading building sets. These packs have a suggested retail price $2.99 and are recommended for kids ages 5 and up.
SUPER MARIO BROS® Wii: Mystery Figure Bags Series 1– So, they take one of Wyatt’s favorite toys and offer them in his favorite game characters. This can only mean one thing, and that is a super happy boy! He was so excited when he opened his mystery pack and saw he now has Yoshi! This series includes the following: Regular Mario™, Fire Mario™, Regular Luigi™, Ice Luigi™, Blue Yoshi™, Yellow Yoshi™, Blue Toad, Yellow Toad or Princess Peach. Suggested retail price is $3.99 per pack and these are recommended for kids ages 6 and up.
K’NEX Building Sets: Intro Assortment– Helicopters, Planes, and Trucks make up this set from K’nex, which is like a boy’s mighty machine dream. The best part is, you can use the pieces from these three sets and combine them into a big Space Shuttle! Wyatt decided to build the plane and did so easily. He is older that the suggested age, but was able to build his plane with no help from Dad. Blake then promptly took the plane and set it to flight. Each of these sets contain 60+ classic, made in the USA K’NEX rods and connectors and full color instructions and offer great building at a great price. Suggested retail price is $5.99 and they are recommended for kids Ages 5 and up.
K’NEX Building Sets: Robo-Creatures Assortment– Wyatt was most intimidated and excited about the Robo-Creatures! Available in Robo-Sting, Robo-Smash, or Robo-Strike, these battery operated sets are awesome! After building his confidence with the plane, he decided he was ready to hang with the big toys. He picked Robo-Strike (mostly because he thinks Scorpions are cool) and set to work. It took him close to an hour and a little help from Dad, but he stuck with it and finished his creation. Here he is showing you what Robo-Strike can do! Each set boasts over 150 made in the USA K’NEX bricks, rods & connectors. Each robot features a motor that allows for unique and exciting mechanical movement! Collect & combine all three to create the ultimate robotic creature. Suggested retail price is $15.99 and they are recommended for kids ages 7+.

We LOVE Mario (okay well maybe just me) but so many memories!! My girls aren’t really into them, but they do love some video game characters so there’s hope.
