Those Mario Kart K’NEX toys are now available

We have been graciously alerted to the new line of K’NEX Mario Kart Wii toys by reader Drinkyjim. Basically, they are the best gaming-related use of K’NEX since that dastardly contraption someone built to shake their Pokewalker.

We had previously covered this partnership, but didn’t have any details other than “it’s happening.” Well, it’s happened. I’m not sure when it did, exactly, but the K’NEX website says these toys are all new, so I’m willing to believe them.

Be sure to get a look at the race track they’re teasing on the left. It’s really cool. And man, these plastic, multi-colored sticks sure have made great strides in recent years.
