Rokenbok Review - A Really Cool Toy!

Have you ever seen a toy that your whole family wants to play with? I hadn't! Not until I reviewed these sets from Rokenbok. My 3 yr old, my 6 yr old twins, my 9 yr old, myself, and the hubs have ALL been having fun building! Now I don't know about you, but when I find something that can entertain our entire family, I get excited!

Rokenbok consists of ROK Blocks, Classic RC machines, and Complete Action Sets. Rokenbok lets the children (and adults) build their own ideas. Or if you're out of your own ideas, visit the Hard Hat Area for some inspiration! When the building is complete that's when the play begins!



This is the Power Sweeper Value Pack. It includes the Power Sweeper, 20 little balls (which I think they call ROKs), a little man to sit in the driver seat and a ROK Star Controller. First let me just say that this thing is tough. My 3 yr old dropped it about 5 times when we first got it out of the box and it still works awesome. Nothing is even rattling! Yay! I love it when toys are built right! Anyways, it has these little ROK balls that it sucks up. The boys were thrilled! It moves all around with the easy to control ROK Star Controller, sucks the balls up and can then spit them right back out OR the sweeper tank can raise up into the air, you can lower the tail gate and spit them out the back. Great to play with alone or with any of the other sets.


This is the Get ROK'n Young Builder and Action Set. This one is by far the favorite among my boys. This is the toy they keep returning to over and over and over. This set includes the super cool Dump Truck with the ROK Star Controller, 2 little men, a Motorized Conveyor with chutes for sorting, red and blue balls to sort and several ROK Blocks to build with.

The boys just love how easy it is to set up (and I love that it's easy to put away!). They fill the Dump Truck with the ROK balls take it over to the conveyor and dump them in. The Conveyor comes to life instantly, the green chutes sort them into the loading dock, where they can easily steer the Dump Truck with the controller over for another pick up. The Dump Truck can load facing forwards or backwards making it super easy for little guys. Another nice touch is that the Dump Truck has lights and makes a beeping noise when backing up. The boys really got a kick out of it!


We also received a set of Deluxe ROK Blocks. These are my favorite!! Why? Because I really, really suck at building. I always have. BUT, with these I am a rock star! I actually was able to build a helicopter that looked just like that one!!
These blocks are awesome.

I have never seen blocks like these before. They are super easy to snap together, or apart. They have all sorts of pieces I've never seen before too. These are 3 dimensional pieces, with wheels and arch blocks, hinges and axles. Tons of fun! I love how the propeller can actually spin.

So there I was feeling all impressed with myself because I could follow the directions and make a helicopter..... and then I stumbled onto their Builder's Hall of Fame, oh wow! You have got to see all the cool Rokenbok creations!

Hopefully next time I can make this cool truck -
