3. Hot Wheels City Ultimate T-Rex Garage Playset

Why is Hot Wheels City always under attack from giant monsters, and why do they only target the motoring infrastructure? Whatever the case may be, it makes for great playsets like the Hot Wheels City Ultimate T-Rex Garage Playset.

Use the lift to get to the different floors of the garage and speed down the ramp ready for action, but be careful, a ravenous T-rex is waiting to devour anything that races into its reach. You can defeat this dangerous dino though, ride its tail through the loop and over the kicker and watch it knock the lunching lizard out.

The Hot Wheels Racing Formula 1 Downhill Circuit Race Playset will have any petrol head jumping with joy as they twist and turn their way to victory!

5. Hot Wheels City T-Rex Blaze Battle Playset

An awesome, action-packed stunt set, the Hot Wheels City T-Rex Blaze Battle Playset features daredevil loops and a chomping T-Rex. Speed past its dropping jaws or reroute to refuel, to beat the beast and watch its eyes roll. Be careful though, if it swallows you up, you’ll be coming out the back end.

Things To Consider When Choosing A Hot Wheels Playset

Hot Wheels playsets are a great addition to car playtime introducing new themes, stunts or even colour change elements – here are some key features to keep in mind when looking for your next Hot Wheels tracks and playsets.

Motorised or Human Powered

Both motorised and manually powered sets have their positives.

With motorised sets, Hot Wheels cars can automatically launch into the tracks which makes the sets feel more premium and, of course, fun for all kids as they watch their cars zoom by! However, with this, you will need to consider that batteries will be needed.

While for manual powered cars, as they are hands on, children can enjoy the competitive nature of play time rather than basing their races on luck! Plus, you get to save on the costs of batteries.

Can Hot Wheels tracks be connected?

Typically, tracks can be easily connected, even if from a variety of alternate playsets. Most of the Hot Wheels tracks have the same type of connectors and are interchangeable or come with an adapter to connect different track styles.  There are a variety of track kits that can be used to connect playsets or for kids to build their own layouts, ideal for older children who have ideas of the type of race track they want to build.

However, there are the odd few which are limited to one set and cannot be connected.
