Review: Angry Birds Go! Pig Rock Raceway

Noah's an Angry Birds nut. The Hubs has him hooked. We have every version of the game on the iPad. We've enjoyed the Angry Birds Star Wars Telepod playsets. The latest in the Angry Birds family is Angry Birds Go!  The birds get mobile now!  In this game, the birds have go-karts to help them triumph over those pesky pigs.

Noah was over the moon when our friends at Hasbro Games sent us Angry Birds Go! Pig Rock Raceway to play with.  From a set up perspective, this was a pretty easy one to put together.  Noah probably could have done it himself but there are a few stickers that needed to be added so I took over the set up responsibility. I have a thing about the stickers being put on correctly. The kids played for hours with it.  It's still set up in Noah's room, weeks later.  Santa even brought him extra Angry Birds Go! carts for Christmas to use with this playset.  And what I love most about this set.....both kids can play at the same time! There's no fighting over who's turn it is or yelling over not sharing. Noah and Emmy loved seeing who's kart would cross the finish line first!

Angry Birds Go! Pig Rock Raceway allows you to race head to head in order to topple the pirate pigs. Obstacles and pirate pigs stand between your kart and the finish line! Then use the Telepod technology to teleport your favorite kart into the Angry Birds Go! app. Angry Birds Go! Pig Rock Raceway retails around $29.99.  It comes with 2 kart, one that is exclusive to this set. Make sure to download the app for your electronic device, grab your kart and GO!

Thanks Vanna!!!
All set up, ready to race
Hello Mr Piggy
They loved it!!!!
Thanks again to our friends at Hasbro Games for this opportunity! Noah just can't get enough of it!!!

Disclaimer: I was provided an Angry Birds Go! set in exchange for this review. All opinions are 100% mine (and Noah's) and 100% honest.

Angry Bird Telepods Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I received a free product in exchange for this review

My son has many obsessions. He's an almost 7 year old boy.  They love a lot of things.  One thing he's been in to for a while now is Angry Birds.  The Hubs got him hooked on the original version of the game on our phones and every version there after. Now that he has his own iPad mini, he has every version of the game on it as well.  Star Wars Angry Birds is his absolute favorite!  He started collecting the figures and has quite the collection.  He was more than excited when a package showed up at our doorstep from Hasbro Games.  We ripped opened the box to find the Angry Bird Star Wars Telepod Death Star Trench Run and an Angry Bird Star Wars Telepods figure pack. We quickly opened each item and got to playing!

Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods Death Star Trench Run
Pure joy thanks to Hasbro Games!!!!
Noah has been dying to get an Angry Bird play set.  This set comes with 2 figures (1 exclusive to the game), a Telepod base, 1 X-Wing Starfighter launcher, 8 blocks and 1 ramp.  We chased the launcher around the house for a while.  Pull back and off it flies! Noah and Emmy both loved taking turns setting up their structures and sending their launcher to knock it down.  It was fun to watch them playing together, taking turns, and getting creative in how they were stacking their blocks. I know for a fact more of these play sets will be towards the top of Noah's Christmas list this year!

Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods Figure Pack
Our new additions....and the Telepod base!!!!
Noah was also able to add 2 new figures to his Angry Birds collection. But this wasn't your ordinary Angry Bird figure pack.  This figure pack contained the key to unlocking hours of excitement.  With the release of Angry Birds Star Wars II, you can teleport your figures into the game!  Yep, you heard right!  You can now see your figures in action on your smart device.  All you need is your smart device, a Telepod figure, and the Telepod base.  Simply place the Telepod base over your device's camera, attach your figure, and BOOM.  Your figure is now in your game! And to make it more exciting, you can now play on the "Pork Side" and fling the evil pigs.  Noah was counting down the days until the new app arrived.  Now he's teleporting his birds and pigs into his games.  (I've even secretly teleported some of the figures into the app on my phone!  It's really cool technology!!!).  To learn more about the app, check out starwars.hasbro.com.

You can find these awesome toy sets at local retailers.  The Angry Bird Star Wars Telepod Vehicle Packs retail for $19.99 each and the Figure Packs retail for $5.99 each.  But lucky for you, Hasbro has been kind enough to offer one lucky reader a Vehicle Pack and Figure Pack of their very own!  Just enter below.  Don't miss out on this one!!!
