We recently reviewed the Hot Wheels Total Turbo Takeover set and The Boy was delighted to be sent the Spiral Stack Up set which is part of the same range and can join onto it to extend the play opportunities.
Hot Wheels Track Builder: Total Turbo Takeover (Review)
The Boy is a long term fan of Hot Wheels Walltracks and has several sets which we enjoy putting together into different combinations for him. We've never tried the floor sets though and therefore were delighted when he was recently sent the Total Turbo Takeover to review.
Hot Wheels Super Loop Chase Race (Review)
The Boy is a huge fan of cars, particularly the collection of Hot Wheels walltracks sets that he's collected over the past couple of years. He particularly likes that he can stand and play with the walltracks sets as opposed to lying on the floor, and it makes racing the cars a lot easier. Wall-mounted tracks are also space-saving and don't take up valuable floor space!
We've been sent the latest addition to the Walltracks collection; the Hot Wheels Super Loop Chase Race set, and of course The Boy couldn't wait to get it attached to the wall and start playing with it.
Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Power-Tower: Demolition
One of The Boy's favourite toys, and one that is constantly played with by him and friends, is his Hot Wheels Wall Tracks. During the time since we first reviewed the series, we've added to it with several sets and were recently sent the Power-Tower to review.
The battery-powered Power-Tower has a central tower which has a spiral that rotates upwards with two routes back down to the bottom of the central tower, one which takes the cars through 'demolition jaws'.
The Hot Wheels Wall Track range is an excellent toy for little car fanatics, especially as it is wall-mounted and is a marvellous space-saving complex track. The Boy is a huge fan of these, and the battery operated sets really add to the thrill when playing. The Power-Tower is a little more noisy than the Mid-Air Madness set, but for any Hot Wheels fans, it's a good addition.
This set has an RRP of £39.99 but is on offer in various outlets for £25 in the lead-up to Christmas.

Hot Wheels Wall Tracks 'Mid-Air Madness' (Review)
Last September I was given the opportunity by Mattel to test and review their new Hot Wheels Wall Tracks system. At the time I was incredibly impressed at the system and the fact that it was wall mounted and removable, which meant that it didn't take over my entire house but was always there to be played with, by all members of the (extended) family! I wanted The Boy to have a car system but so many of them are restrictive in their layout and take up so much space, the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks doesn't, which is why we've since bought three add on sets and regularly change them around without any issue.
A month or two ago, I was asked if I'd like to review the new Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Mid Air Madness I considered it for about one second before gleefully typing 'yes please!'.
The Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Mid Air Madness is a section of the Hot Wheels track that loops around on itself to run continuously. Now those engineer-type people will be wondering how that can happen without some form of help, and you'd be right. There is a turbo-booster which launches cars up into the air to be caught by the highest point of the ramp before coasting down, crossing another gap and starting all over again! A true feat of anti-gravity defiance!
We absolutely love this track; it's a valuable, albeit slightly noisy, add-on to what was already a fantastic toy. Every child (old and young) who comes in is captivated and mesmerised by it and it's really enhanced the system. If you want to make your own little Hot Wheels fan happy, invest the £20+/- and make your track the envy of all their friends.
The Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Mid Air Madness is available from a variety of retailers, but is currently only £19.99 at Amazon.
