Matchbox Mega Rig Set

The Matchbox Mega-Rig series includes several play sets with interchangeable modular pieces. Each set can be rearranged into several types of vehicles, and together the possibilities are endless. The ultra-fun Shark Ship is the perfect example of how one set can bring imagination and creativity into a toy without feeling too much like like a learning toy. You child will choose this toy, and create different vehicles, boats, etc. The parts are easy to connect and disconnect, even for a small child. The pieces are durable, and this quality toy is filled with small details not immediately noticeable.

This is the toy you want. As far as I am concerned, the other sets are all accessories to this one, (but the submarine is great as well). Even without using the shark, this toy is amazing. With so many possible variations that can be formed from the pieces, this is is such imaginative set. Given these pieces, a child can take the upper deck off and use it as its own smaller boat, making this a toy that multiple kids can have with at once.

Face it, some kids are just drawn to cars, planes, trains, and trucks more than blocks or puzzles. With these sets, they can use the vehicle pieces to develop the same types of creative and problem solving skills as they would with puzzles and blocks. They learn to assemble the ship or submarine, like a puzzle, and then use the pieces like building blocks to build many other vehicles.

And, does your kid have a great submarine set already? This is something a little different.

Auctions are often the cheapest ways to get mega rigs. Additional modules can be a fun additions to your mega rig, and often incomplete sets are available at amazing prices.
