I'm not a fan of cheap toys which need fixing straight out of the box. Maybe there's a lesson here about the trap of buying a cheap toys Vs a toy from a well known toy company or brand (mind you the big companies can also produce some rather rotten toys). This Super Loops slot car racing set from K-Mart is typical of the generic made in China toy that would be seen all over the world. It's a large and very inexpensive toy compared to buying a full scale Scalextric playset. The Super Loops slot car set cost $39, and that price is never going to purchase a large quality toy in Australia. But curiosity can be an evil thing, so I purchased a playset to see what you get for your money. To my surprise the playset came together fairly well BUT the slot car set was near impossible to play until I pulled apart the hand controllers and made some design changes. But why should I be the one who has to make fixes to make the toy work? Recently on my YouTube channel I looked at a different smaller car racing set called Micro Chargers which worked straight out of the box and is cheaper than this Super Loops playset. If you gauge a toy's goodness by the fun it delivers the Micro Chargers toy completely out strips whats offered up via the Super Loops slot car playset. But many people will see the much larger Super Loops slot car set in the toy store and think they are getting better value for money. Just because a toy looks to have great bang for buck doesn't always hold up when it comes to playability and fun past the first day of play.

Here is a link to the Micro Chargers racing set which is an excellent car racing playset.

This video is another very delayed upload due to the massive problems I have had during 2014 on my YouTube channel. You will see footage of the large, cheap EZTEC G Scale train set Black Canyon Express before I purchased my third train set as seen in my Christmas train video for 2014. As you will see the problem with this train is once the traction tyres fail this train has lots of problems getting traction on the plastic train tracks. Sure it's a massive and very impressive toy, but it can present a fairly limited lifespan. Buy cheap buy twice, buy thrice. At least that keeps the Chinese toy factories very busy.
