Hot Wheels Track Sets and Play Sets

    Hello collectors and welcome back to my blog. Today i want to show you a few ways you can have more fun with your cars. Just the simple fact of collecting the cars it is fun, with hunting for them in the stores, looking at them at home or categorize them, but there is another way of having fun with them and that is using the Track Sets and Play Sets. They are in a very big number out there, for all the tastes, needs and possibilities. We are going to see two of them and i will let you be the judge of which is the most fun. 


Acceleracers AcceleDrome Track Set



Crashin' Big Rig Camion Crash Play Set



The Acceleracers track set is a motorized one, with many pieces and it is difficult to put together without the instructions sheet, it also requires 4 D batteries and 3 C batteries, it is not that cheap and the price is raised for the extra batteries. But once all these are ignored and resolved it is an awesome track to play with, it makes a lot of sound, you can add many cars on the tracks and it can be played with a friend, racing each other. It also takes a lot of space, so it can not be played everywhere, you just need the right space for it. The action of this set is very spectacular and you can see that very well by watching the video. A problem comes when you finished playing and you want to store it, it must be put in the original box, or in any other boxes to store all the pieces that come with it, because if you lose some important pieces it might be impossible to find spare parts or to make it work as it was originally intended, the box is huge and it takes a lot of space.
 
The Crashin' Big Rig play set is an easy to get set, it is a lot cheaper than the track set shown above, it doesn't require any batteries, so no extra cost, it doesn't make to much sound and it doesn't have any automated parts, it can be used by the younger kids very easy. Also the instructions sheet is not needed, because it comes already assembled, ready to be played with. The action is simple, exactly as you can see in the video. It is fun as well, but nothing spectacular like the AcceleDrome track set. It is small, it can be played on any surface and after playing it can be easily be stored on a shelf, under the bed or in any other corner of the room.
 
Hope you enjoyed reading and watching the videos. In the end the choice is yours and it depends on your likes, needs and possibilities. Leave a comment and let me know which one you prefer the most. Happy collecting and have fun with your Hot Wheels.
