Why Hot Wheels Wall Track
Tommy always likes toys that hark back to simpler times. Fads come and fads go but classic toys have a timeless simplicity which means they never go out of fashion. Toy cars are just such a classic. Whether a fan of the replica cars made by Matchbox or the more flamboyant and imaginative cars made by Hot Wheels most boys, and some girls, love to collect and play with toy cars from an early age. They instinctively know a cool car when they see one; clearly this is not a skill you need to learn!
Tommy was a fan of the Matchbox cars, but he takes his hat off to Hot Wheels for the exciting and thrilling world of Hot Wheels Wall Tracks. If you haven’t seen these wall mounted race tracks yet I seriously suggest you click the “More Info” link above.
My little niece chose my Christmas toy on behalf of her family last year and thoughtfully got me the Mattel Hot Wheels Stunt n Dunk. Grateful as I was I will admit to being slightly underwhelmed. Once you had set up the toy and jumped the car through the hoop a couple of times…well that was it really. If I was 8 again I would rather just race my car manually around the house or make up jumps the old fashioned way using books and other household items.
Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Review
Hot Wheels Wall Tracks are a lot more exciting because you can stack racetrack upon racetrack vertically on your wall and then gravity becomes your friend! Start a car at the top of the racetrack and watch as it speeds its way along the tracks and through the various cool tricks and stunts. No more short, one trick, tracks, no more having to crouch down, or lay, on the floor. These wall tracks can keep going as you add more and more sets of track.
The Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Starter Set is a great, and reasonably priced, place to start. With several stunts and tricks plus a diverter switch leading to path variations means there are different tracks and pathways within one set up. With four other wall tracks available, and no doubt more on the way, you can continue to expand and build out your wall tracks and experiment with different installations.
Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Instructions
A word about installation and set up. Adult help and supervision is recommended with these top toys as the tracks need to be set up correctly for the cars to race smoothly and easily. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, with the fold out instructions doubling as a wall template, and a real positive is that there are no screw fixings involved, so no permanent holes in your walls.
It is worth mentioning that the adhesive strips used to attach the tracks to the walls are, by definition, very sticky and can take wall paint away with them, if and when you decide to remove the tracks from the wall. In a kids bedroom Tommy doesn’t see this as much of an issue, but you won’t want to set these Hot Wheels wall tracks on your best living room, or dining room, walls. Furthermore you really need smooth walls for the adhesive tape to work really efficiently. Boys will be boys, but try and remind your son that the wall tracks should be treated gently if he doesn’t want them breaking away from the walls.
Tommy’s Verdict
This is definitely a great innovation and super cool edition to the world of Hot Wheels and another benefit for parents is that you won’t have to continually tidy his Hot Wheel race tracks off the floor! Hot Wheels Wall Tracks are great toys for boys which is why Tommy has added them to his Top 10 toys for boys list.
