During a recent stroll down the die-cast vehicle aisle at my local Walmart I found some Hot Wheels City Track Packs. As a little lad I tons of Hot Wheels and other die-cast vehicles I played with, however rarely did I ever had roads for my vehicles to travel on. I had playsets, but nothing else. Where were these when I got down on the floor and played?!
I recall seeing two different types of packs. This one with an intersection piece and a straight piece and another with two pieces of straight roads. The back of the packaging shows that you can connect these road pieces with the traditional orange Hot Wheels track, as well as connect them to various playsets.
The pieces of track are molded in a dark colored gray plastic. Each end of the track has tabs that easily connect to another piece. The sides of the track are raised with a concrete curb like look. This only allows room for one vehicle, despite the orange sticker lines down the middle of the track. If you are fine with your Hot Wheels city essentially only having one way roads, these are a great addition. Priced at just $2 per bag, this could be an affordable way to bring your Hot Wheels to life.
Good look. Be nicer if they had two lanes. But a good option. Thanks for the share.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a wider road piece would be nice...but I'm just glad to have something other than the traditional orange track pieces.
DeleteThese are pretty neat! I have been trying to plan city roads for my little buddy and me. We have some orange track, but they are all random pieces. These could make for a nice road system to attach to the various sets.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, do they also have curved tracks?
ReplyDeleteI've not seen curved track pieces...unfortunately.
