Mega Bloks Hot Wheels Speed Race Pit Stop, Twin Mill, Rodger Dodger & Review!



I picked these up a couple years ago during my Mega Bloks Hot Wheels fascination, and finally got around to photographing them. Because I had all four racers out of package, I thought I'd review the Twin Mill included in the Speed Race Pit Stop and red Rodger Dodger with my Mega Bloks Twinduction and 24 Ours. Check out the video:


Getting more into Lego builds recently over at my toy blog, the Super-DuperToyBox, I've come to the conclusion that I prefer the quality of Lego over Mega Bloks, and for the most part Lego vehicles are more genuinely creative builds, relying less on specialized parts. Still, I love these HW original designs in brick form, and am a fan of Mega Bloks minifigs, particularly these simple, helmeted racers. I have some more articulated Mega Bloks minifigs, but these are my favorite.



Below, the Mega Bloks racers with their 1:64 scale Hot Wheels counterparts, 2016 Stars & Stripes Series Rodger Dodger, 2014 HW Workshop Twin Mill, an orange 2012 Twinduction, and one of my 2014 Track Aces Series 24 Ours...

HW 2014 "Track Aces" 24 Ours


I felt it appropriate after my last post on the Mega Bloks Hot Wheels 24 Ours, that I show these 2014 castings of the same car in 1:64 scale. I'm a fan of this car, often fond of Hot Wheels' original creations within the racing and muscle car genre, this model inspired by the famous Peugeot LeMans race car. I love the color scheme on both these, and am a fan of that PR5 wheel type! Check out the video:

Mega Bloks Hot Wheels 24 Ours


I put one of these Mega Bloks Hot Wheels cars together back in August, and while I'm not typically a Legos/Mega Bloks kinda guy, it is fun assembling when a cool Hot Wheels car is the end result. This one went more quickly than the Twinduction, and had just a few less parts. White cars aren't my favorite, but the blue and orange highlights appeal to me greatly. I also love the Mega Bloks mini racer figure included with these! Hot Wheels/Mega Bloks fans can also get sets with the Bone Shaker, Roger Dodger, and Bad To the Blade cars, among others. I think I love the 24 Ours even more that the Twinduction... such a great race car!






The Mega Bloks Twinduction with the 24 Ours- two GREAT Hot Wheels cars!


I've assembled quite the Mega Bloks race team, which have their own place among the castings I keep displayed near my photography table. As author of the Super-DuperToyBox, I'm an action figure enthusiast first, the reason I enjoy these so much...
