Geotrax Toys Collectibility

Is collectibility even a word??

Geotrax, as you are well aware, is a railroad set for your young ‘uns manufactured by Fisher Price. It is no surprise that it has become quite the hit among kids because not only is it interesting to assemble, it can also offer hours of entertainment. All you need to do is lay out the tracks in an innovative way and place the train on the tracks. The remote control that comes along will enable the kid to operate the train. Although initially, the trains could only move forward; newer trains can move both forward and backward. It is extremely fun yet challenging which is why its fan base is not only comprised of toddlers, but even adults like to collect these incredible electronic toys.

Kids love to build the tracks and also enjoy crashing the trains, which is not a cause for worry as these toys are extremely durable. These toys are taking the market by storm, and have seen several successive generations of improving toys.

This has also added to their collectibility, as previous iterations are no longer available in the primary market, meaning you have to resort to consignment sales, eBay, and Craigslist to obtain some of the hard-to-find older pieces.

Geotrax Airport: Jumbo and Captain Jim

Jumbo and Captain Jim make up the "Biggest Team," and are included with the Geotrax Airport set. Our first Jumbo died suddenly, and after placing a call to Fisher Price, they replaced him free of charge -- it was a really nice experience for us.

Geotrax Rail: In Introduction to the Playsets

Joseph Lombard — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:59:02 +0000

If you thought toys were only for kids, you might need to give that a little more thought! These days, toy manufacturers put serious effort into making toys that appeal to children and are also entertaining for adults. A brilliant electronic toy on the store shelves that is a treat for children as well as adults is the Geotrax Rail and Road Systems.

I usually describe Geotrax as a modular play system, where each set is interchangeable or can build upon the other sets. This innovative play system includes networks of rail lines, roads, trains, vehicles, outbuildings, planes, and more. This is a clever approach, as it attracts the builders from among our wee ones, but also attracts the vehicle and pretend play ones. I’ve been particularly impressed with the playability of these little toysets.

We first bought the Geotrax because out son is a classic builder. At age 2, he was putting together puzzles that our friends’ five year old couldn’t solve. I can’t twell you how often I go into his room to find a monstrosity of a construction – sometimes, it’s a house, or a robot, or a car. It reminds me of the classic Dreyfus scene in Close Encounters! We figured that Geotrax Rail packs would be just the thing for him.

It turns out that not only does he enjoy building the tracks, but he also enjoys the train and conductor characters, which are very well done and developed in an included DVD. He calls the people his “little friends” and has grown quite attached to them.

All aboard Team Geotrax!

Alpine and Will make up the "Most Adventurous" team. They are not featured in the Team Geotrax DVD episodes, but they seem to be a favorite around here.
