Summer Block Party #9: Mega Bloks: Thomas & Friends Sodor Search and Rescue Review & Giveaway (US & CA)


There are two things Josiah is currently obsessed with: Mega Bloks and Thomas the Train. When I saw the Mega Bloks Thomas & Friends Sodor Search and Rescue I couldn't wait for him to receive it. I knew he'd be super excited!

Here's a little about it:

Mega Bloks Thomas Sodor Search and RescueEnter the world of Thomas and Friends with this great buildable playset from Mega Bloks! Build the Sodor Search and Rescue playset in any way you wish, building to new heights and winding lows as buildable Thomas and Harold characters patrol the area. Use the hardworking crane to load and unload new cargo, land Harold on the Helipad to give him a break between patrols and turn trains on the track switcher to get them going towards new adventures!

Ideal for children ages 3 and up!


Features:
  • Build and rebuild Sodor Search and Rescue the way you see it!
  • Literally take your builds and rebuilds high up into the Island of Sodor for a truly dynamic adventure!
  • Includes Thomas and Harold buildable characters
  • Included container doubles as a building platform for dynamic building possibilities and ensures pieces remain safe and secure when stored away
  • Includes different accessories like opening doors, track switcher and working crane - have a different Sodor Search and Rescue Adventure every time!
My Thoughts

Like I said, I knew Josiah would love this toy, but what I didn't count on was just how cool it really was! We have several different buildable Mega Bloks sets, including Smurfs, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Ni Hao Ka i-Lan, which were all hits in our house, but the Thomas & Friends Sodor Search and Rescue is, by far, the very best set we have!
The main problem I have with blocks is a good way to store them, but this one actually comes inside a plastic container. Even better, the container doubles as part of the track! Josiah has gotten a kick out of the set because the possibilities for creating the tracks are endless. Every day he has played with this Mega Bloks set and every day he's displayed everything in a different way.

Mega Bloks are the perfect size for smaller hands. We began with the biggest Mega Bloks when Josiah was a year old and have moved up over the years. The Smurf set pieces are a little too small for him, but the Thomas & Friends set is perfect. Nothing entertains him like the imaginary play Mega Bloks creates. Plus, it increases his hand-eye coordination! I really can't say enough about them! Any child that loves Thomas will have a blast with this set!

Buy It
 You can purchase Mega Bloks Thomas Sodor Search and Rescue at Amazon.com for only $29.99! It's a bargain for how much use it will really get!

Win It
We are grateful to Mega Bloks for Offering One Lucky Winner Their Very Own Mega Bloks Thomas Sodor Search and Rescue! Yay!
