MAGNA-TILES debuts Rail Racers, co-developed with first-time toy inventor Michael Bergmann

MAGNA-TILES has debuted Rail Racers, an innovation co-developed with first-time toy inventor and fan of the brand Michael Bergmann.

Rail Racers features the first-ever intuitive magnetic track pieces to create MAGNA-TILES ball runs and racing adventures. It was designed for preschool-aged kids to easily build, without the need for complex pieces and adult assistance – and is fully-compatible with all other MAGNA-TILES sets.

“Rail Racers embodies everything that makes MAGNA-TILES so special – it reflects the strong community built around our brand, the open-ended possibilities of our products and the creativity they inspire in young children to explore new ways to play,” said Michael Valenta, President at MAGNA-TILES.

“As the original magnetic construction brand, we’ve spent over 27 years redefining the magnetic building category, setting the standard for quality and innovation that parents and educators can trust. Working hand-in-hand with one of our biggest fans to introduce Rail Racers is an exciting development within our growing MAGNA-TILES portfolio that will inspire a whole new way to play!”
