Product Information
Full details
This Mega Construx Hot Wheels Rodger Dodger collector's set is designed for builders and Hot Wheels enthusiasts aged 10 and up. Its key benefit is providing a detailed, large-scale (1:20) buildable replica of the iconic Rodger Dodger with premium details and a bonus diecast model. A potential caveat for younger builders is the 1011-piece count, which requires patience and fine motor skills. The set features authentic design elements, a Magic 8-Ball paint scheme, a removable hood and motor, and includes a diecast Rodger Dodger with a random Magic 8-Ball message and a display stand.
