Matchbox Mega Rig Set
Modular Fun
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.
Mattel Matchbox Mega Rig Shark Adventure
Mattel Matchbox Mega Rig Shark Adventure
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.
Your mission is to rescue your diver from the jaws of an enormous shark. Part of a building system, you can connect and combine your mega pieces to build over 30 vehicles. Every boat has wheels and also floats - so play on land or in water. Comes with huge boat, chomping shark, men, firing harpoon and more. Not for use with some Matchbox sets. Colors and decorations may vary.
The Mega Rig Squid Sub
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.
The Mega Rig Squid Sub is motorized and drives on or under water. Perfect for the bath or swim day! Part of a building system, all pieces combine and connect - so you can build over 10 different boats and subs! Plus, attach the motor to other Mega Rig? sets, and power your adventure! Ages 3 and over.
Auctions for Mega Rigs
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.

By Land or By Water
Several of these sets have the ability to go in the water. However, they are equally fun to play with on the floor. Since even the boat has wheels on the bottom, a pool or a tub is not at all needed. Your child will want to play as soon as you open the box!

Matchbox Mega Rig Adventure Pack: Terrorddactyl Trap
Polar Bear Scare Mega Rig Matchbox Playset
I'm not really certain of the point to this toy. I like the cool little vehicle, but does a kid really need a polar bear with a weapon strapped on its back?
No way am I giving that polar bear to my kid.
MatchBox Mega Rig Adventure Ice Tiger Trap
I really like the airplane, but again, why attach weapons to an animal ? This is a toy I would have to buy alone, and only give my child the airplane piece. Sorry, Matchbox, but that Ice Tiger dissapoints me.
