 Well over the summer my best friend's 4 year old boy came up a lot, and since he is a huge Mario fan! My friend and I thought it would be good to find some project for him to work with, so since he loved Mario Kart these K'NEX sets seemed perfect! In the fall of 2011 is when it started for him actually with the Mario Kart K'NEX sets, and since I'm a big Nintendo fan myself I did not mind buying them and letting him have some fun with them when he came up. I posted videos of the tracks and sets on Youtube and this past summer I got a mssage from K'NEX on Youtube. Long story short....they wanted a video of every set put together to make 1 mega track! So this very kind lady at K'NEX sent me the whole 2012 Mario Kart Wii K'NEX set for FREE (that is no lie). Bottom line over the summer my 4 year old buddy and I worked on this massive track for a very long time (had a lot of fun building it with him), and I figured I'd show it to you all here because it is a relly big track!      To see it in action, watch the video below. |

Anyone know that moment when you win at life? Because you sure do. That's incredible.

That's sweet. I have a bunch of the original release sets. I wanted to pick up the one with Wario/Toad and the penguin, but none of the stores around here ever got it. I do have one (or more) of each of the characters besides Wario though. They're pretty cool.

That is really cool!! I always wanted to pick up one of those sets, because I have some of the Mario Kart cars and bikes. I think I will have to pick one up now.

That is killer. I had no idea the karts moved so fast! I have one on display but never actually tried it out. Those things can go!
