We love Knex Building sets that are themed. My kids get a kick out of them, and I swear they are a bit more fun. Plus, they usually come with “guys” and Will loves “guys”. I swear he plays with them just as much as the set!
My kids love Super Mario Brothers. Will even went as Luigi this Halloween! That is why I knew they'd love the K'nex Super Mario Layer Cake Desert Building Set. Mario battles the Spinning Pokey Enemy in this building set. ! This set features K'NEX's all-new jump disk and launcher that allows Mario to run and jump like he does in the game. You can build Fire Mario and build levels that allow Mario to jump past a rocking Stone Eye Statue and over Pop-Up Sand Geysers. You can use the jump launcher to collect the hanging coins and release the pop-up flag to clear the course! (I swear Bill and I got more of a kick out of this than the kids). This set includes: Fire Mario, Waddlewing and Pokey figures plus: Stone Eye Statue, Sand Geyser and Warp Pipe Obstacles. The extra items include: Coins, Jump Panels and Pop-Up Flag.
This set is a ton of fun, and I can only recommend it!
