While there are an endless number of toys out there, there has always seemed to be something special about train sets. What is it about running the cars over the tracks that has long captured the attention of kids of all ages?
For my girls, it seems to be that trains combine both physical as well as imaginative play. While a train set involves the dexterity and manipulation of the toy train itself, it also allows for the creation and telling of a story to go with the motions (something my talk-nonstop kids are especially good at).
Along with the play features, there's also the challenge of building the track and the way that it can be changed time and time again to suit that day's adventures. The opportunities for creativity are endless! The only thing that can make it better? When a train set entails all of the above but with the added bonus of characters that kids know and love.
That's why we were thrilled to see it all come together with three new MEGA Bloks play sets: the Chuggington Jet Pack Adventure set, the Chuggington Roundhouse Racing set, and the Chuggington Repair Shed.

As we are already fans of MEGA Brands and their trusted family of leading global brands in construction toys, games & puzzles, arts & crafts and stationery, seeing their take on Chuggington had us all ready to open the boxes and play.

With the addition of Vee (the loudspeaker announcer at Chuggington who informs the engines what to do) and two Chuggers, Wilson and Action Chugger, this construction set is an amazing way to start off a MEGA Bloks Chuggington collection.




From the colorful MEGA Bloks pieces to the creativity of the building possibilities to the cute details, this set has provided a lot of fun since its arrival. The girls are continuously sending Wilson and Action Chugger on exciting adventures and, from the press of a button on the top of each Chugger's head, their mouths move open and close to seem as though they are really getting in on the action!

Which is exactly what we did upon opening and constructing the MEGA Bloks Chuggington Roundhouse Racing set.




We've had a great time building this set, taking it apart, and rebuilding it in a new setup (it can be configured in multiple levels if desired), and cheering on the engines as they zoom in and out. With the open-ended creativity allowed, there's never a dull moment.

And, when it comes to keeping things running smoothly for the Chuggers, the MEGA Bloks Chuggington Repair Shed is 36 pieces of fix-it shop entertainment for any young trainee.





One person will soon be able to see the creativity and enjoyment that these MEGA Bloks Chuggington trains, tracks and more can bring to their child as well, because...
One lucky person will win MEGA Bloks Chuggington Jet Pack Adventure, Roundhouse Racing and Repair Shed sets (total ARV $95)!
