blade racers

Toy Fair's Top 10 Strangest Products:

"Described as a 'high velocity infrared racing system,' Blade Racers represents an opus in the 'toy race track' industry. This thing was unreal. They had the whole kit set up and in working order at Dynatech's booth, and as soon as they flipped the switch to let the little cars do their thing, the crowd grew enormous. Instead of the typical plastic tracks, Blade Racers uses clear tubes as the raceway for a couple of futuristic cars who absolutely blast through the track at speeds I've never seen a toy car hit before. The track itself is an impressive beast -- a huge series of clear tubes illuminated by LED lights, spanning several feet across and a few feet up in the air. Lord knows what kid would have room for something like this, but when a toy this cool comes along, you find a way to make room. Trust me, 'Blade Racers' kicks the crap out of anything I've seen from Tyco or Matchbox. It's the race car set of the future! Learn more at www.dynatechaction.com. The company is based in Alberta, Canada. Now we know what they're doing up there."

This thing is so kewl! I so want to get one of these even though I know I'd probably be bored of it after like 2 minutes.
