Mario Kart K'nex Cars



    I must say , I fell in love with these sets from the start. My daughter and I have 
had hours of fun putting these sets together. It made for a low cost daddy / daughter
 time. I know they started making these in 2011 and are still going. The first series 
they came out with was Mario Kart Wii, It included: Toad , Bowser , Yoshi ,
Donkey Kong , Diddy Kong , Mario & Luigi. There are 2 versions of Mario , Luigi 
& Yoshi. A regular model & a deluxe model that runs on AA batteries.







There is also the Mario Kart 7 car sets. I really like
 the new designs and the way they hook to motors.
I bought all of them to do with my daughter.

Super Mario K'nex Figures

First and foremost , If you have not seen these Mini Figs that K'nex has put out you are missing out!
These amazing little Super mario Figures were first brought to my attention from my little sister. She is all about video games and had to show off her new find. I am sure it was to have someone to trade her doubles with in hindsight. After she gave me my first Yoshi  Figure I was hooked and bad! Then they came out with series #2 , and there where all new figures i wanted , and now there is a new series ( series #3 ) and full play sets! What have i got myself into now :p After looking around online i found that i was not the only one that was obsessed with the new K'nex figures. Then i found out the best Secret for anyone that is as into the Super Mario K'nex as me. They have a little Pint Rectangle on the back of the package with a number on it.
That number is the same for every figure , but the line under one of the numbers , that is your ticket to knowing what is in your "Blind Bag". I found the Codes for the first 3 series online , and figured out the 3rd my self. So if you are as much into Super mario K'nex as i am you are in for a treat :)
