Abstract: A toy vehicle track piece of present application includes one or more connectors. Thus, two track pieces can be connected directly to each other without any additional pieces (e.g., without separate connectors pieces or pins). Moreover, the connectors are specifically designed so that young children can easily connect and disconnect two track pieces without parental intervention. Additionally or alternatively, the track pieces presented herein, as well as accessories associated therewith, may be designed to assemble at specific grid locations so that any configuration of track pieces can be connected together to form a closed track path.

Abstract: A toy vehicle launcher assembly for launching a toy vehicle includes a housing and a launcher that is at least partially disposed in the housing. The launcher includes a load mechanism, an actuator mechanism, and a push mechanism. The load mechanism includes a first arm with a handle portion and a second arm with an engagement extension. The handle portion is configured to pivot along a first axis to move the engagement extension and the length of the first arm is longer than the length of the second arm. The actuator mechanism includes a catch. The push mechanism includes a launching member having a first end for engaging with the catch and a second end opposite the first end for engaging a toy vehicle. Rotating the handle portion of the load mechanism towards the push mechanism causes the engagement extension to pull the launching member laterally towards the actuator mechanism.

Abstract: A toy vehicle launcher is movable to a plurality of launching locations disposed along one or more pathways of a toy vehicle track set. The toy vehicle launcher is configured to impart a launching force to a toy vehicle when the toy vehicle launcher is disposed in one of the plurality of launching locations, and the toy vehicle launcher is configured to prevent the launching force from being imparted to the toy vehicle while the toy vehicle launcher is moving between the plurality of launching locations. Additionally or alternatively, the toy vehicle launcher may be configured to impart different launching forces of different magnitudes to the toy vehicle at different locations of the plurality of launching locations.

Abstract: A connection arrangement for directly connecting two tile track pieces for a toy vehicle is disclosed. The tile track piece includes a first face and a first set of primary connection assemblies of a first type disposed on the first face. Each primary connection assembly comprising a male coupler and a female coupler configured to engage corresponding connectors of a second set of primary connection assemblies included on a second tile. The tile track piece further includes a first set of receiving portions of secondary connection assemblies disposed on the first face. Each secondary connection assembly is a second type of connection assembly, and each receiving portion is configured to receive at least a portion of a connector.

Abstract: An improved toy vehicle playset contains a base, a tower, a launcher, and a housing structure. The tower may be equipped with a track disposed around the tower. An interactive object may be moveably coupled to the tower and equipped with a mechanism that is repositionable between an engaged position, where the mechanism is engaged with the track of the tower, and a disengaged position, where the mechanism is disengaged from the track of the tower. When in the mechanism is in the engaged position, the interactive object may descend the tower along the track. When the mechanism is in the disengaged position, the interactive object may descend linearly or fall along the tower without following the track. The launcher may be configured to launch toy vehicles at the interactive object to actuate the mechanism to be repositioned from the engaged position to the disengaged position.

Abstract: A toy vehicle track set is disclosed herein. The track set includes at least one track section and a support that can hold the track section in a particular orientation or position relative to a support surface. In one embodiment, the support includes a base, a support member that is coupleable to the base, and a coupler that is connected to the support member. The track section can be engaged with the coupler which is movably mounted to the support member.
