    PRWeb – Thu, Feb 9, 2012

    Officially-Licensed Building Toys Bring Popular Show to Life

    Hatfield, PA (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

    K'NEX, the only US construction toy company focused on Building Worlds Kids Love™, introduces its first line of officially licensed Top Gear building sets.

    Now, kids ages 7+ can recreate epic moments as they build and play with vehicles inspired by the world’s most popular car show, Top Gear, which airs in the U.S. on BBC America. The new products combine the American made, award-winning, K’NEX building system with the kind of boundary-pushing challenges that are synonymous with Top Gear. Many of the products will include a figure of Top Gear's tame racing driver, The Stig,

    The new K’NEX Top Gear line is available in the United States and United Kingdom offering younger fans of the program an entertaining, and rewarding, K’NEX building experience. Top Gear’s popularity continues to grow; the U.S. version of the program debuted in 2010 on the HISTORY channel and is now in its second season.

    Stig’s Track Car and Bike Building Set


    Young builders can simultaneously create a sleek track car and rough riding motorbike and then combine the two models to create a massive truck. This building set includes more than 200 parts, a Stig figure driver, graphic labels to customize the build and a Stig figure poster. Suggested retail $14.99.

    Stig’s Race Car Building Set


    Double the fun! Kids can build a lightning-fast race car and then modify it to create an all-terrain quad bike. This set comes with a Stig figure driver, graphic labels to customize the build and a Stig figure poster. With more than 150 parts kids can build anything they can imagine. Suggested retail $14.99.

    Stig’s Rally Car Building Set


    The challenge for kid car enthusiasts – to build a rough-n-tumble rally car and then modify it to create a speedy go kart. This set comes with a Stig figure driver, a label sheet to customize the vehicles, and a Stig figure poster. With more than 140 pieces there are plenty of opportunities to build and rebuild different cool vehicles. Suggested retail $14.99.

    Car Darts Building Set


    Cars and darts combine in this exciting building set inspired by an iconic Top Gear episode. Kids can create two crash cars and a cool launching mechanism that blasts them off toward a target. The buildable front loader even tows the launcher just like in the show! Once built kids can play alone or against a friend to try to score the most points. Suggested retail $24.99.

    Stig’s Attack Copter/Off Roader Building Set


    Building two vehicles at once equals big fun for little Top Gear fans. Kids can create an attack copter complete with foam missile launcher and then set it off on a mission to seek and destroy the off-roader they created! This set includes Stig and pilot figures and the copter includes three foam darts. The two models combine to create a mega-assault vehicle for more intense action. Suggested retail $29.99.

    The new K’NEX officially licensed Top Gear Building Sets include detailed instructions and are available now.
