Rokenbok Sweeper

The Rokenbok Sweeper is really fun! Daddy really loves the Rokenbok Sweeper. He wants one really bad, but he says we'll have to wait until my birthday or next Christmas before we get one. We both played with one over at my cousin's house. Daddy let me play with it a little bit and was real patient in trying to teach me how to move it. He likes it for a lot of reasons but probably the biggest reason he likes it is because he can go around and suck up all the balls that I scatter all over the floor. It's kind of like a hungry hippo but with wheels that goes around gobbling up all those balls. I like to put a bunch of the balls in a bowl and shake it up and down until they all pop out all over the place. I think that's funny. My Daddy thinks I'm funny. When Daddy thinks I'm funny I don't get into trouble for making all the balls go everywhere and under things that make them hard to find again. Daddy always seems to be able to find them all though. He probably keeps a count. I'll have to try harder next time. Sometimes I show him how I can pick up the little balls with my little toes and he tells me he's proud of me. I can pretty much do any little trick like that and he'll tell me, "Good job, Michael!" I have a pretty good Daddy. He told me to say that. Anyway, the Rokenbok Sweeper is more like a little remote controlled vacuum that loves to eat up all those Rokenbok balls. When my Mommy gets out the vacuum cleaner I sometimes go into another room and close the door, but sometimes I cheer for her while she vacuums. I'm not sure my parents understand why I do that. I'm not sure I understand why I do that. In case you're wondering what the Rokenbok Sweeper is like you can see a video of it below.

Rokenbok Power Rok-Lift

Yay!!! I got a new Rokenbok. Today my Daddy took me to a toy store to look at toys. They had a bunch of Rokenbok stuff. We looked at all the different sets you can get to add to your Rokenbok world and the store had a display where you could play with a couple of the rc vehicles. It was a lot of fun. Daddy kept looking at all the sets and seemed to be thinking real hard about something. Maybe he was trying to decide which one to get me, or if he was going to get me one at all. I like my little Rokenbok world now, but I really wanted something to add to it. We walked away from the Rokenbok display to go look at other toys, and I really didn't think anything of it. While I was playing with a cash register that talks I kept noticing my Daddy going back around the corner. I think he was probably going to look at the Rokenbok display again. He kept coming back to see how I was and then going back around the corner again. After doing this a few times he came back around the corner again, but this time he was holding a box. He held it up in front of me and asked me If I thought this Rokenbok would be neat. I raised my arms up in the air and said, "Woohoo, that looks like a fun Rokenbok Daddy." Then he told me we could get it and take it home. I was so happy. It was the Rokenbok Power Rok-Lift. I call it the elevator though. I put a bunch of balls into a bucket that sits in the elevator and push a big button and it goes up and up and up until it dumps the ball into a yellow thing and then goes down and back and forth through some yellow chutes until it comes out on a big yellow thing. Once the big yellow thing gets enough balls in it, the weight of the balls makes it tip over and dumps them out again. It was so much fun to play with once Mommy and Daddy finished putting it together. Before I went to bed my Daddy connected the elevator thing to some of the other Rokenbok stuff we have so that when the balls get dumped out of the big yellow thing they go into a sorter that separates the red balls from the blue ones. I can't wait to play with it again tomorrow. You can see what the Rok-Lift elevator thing looks like in this video.

Rokenbok Action Sorter & Conveyor

I really like this video because my favorite thing to do is watch the balls go down the chutes. This sorter is really neat. I wish I had one, but my Daddy made me a little sorter with the few yellow chutes that came with the starter set and it was the best Rokenbok he's made yet. He made it so that the balls separated and ended up in two different bowls.

Rokenbok Lift & Load Rail Tower

This is a good video of the Rokenbok train-like thing. I can't even think about getting the monorail, I've barely even gotten started with Rokenbok. Maybe next year.

Another Rokenbok Wrestling Video

This is another short video of a boy and his daddy wrestling Rokenbok vehicles. This time the daddy wins. I can't do this with my Daddy because we only have one Rokenbok rc vehicle. That's okay though because I wrestle my Daddy for real. Just like this daddy winning this Rokenbok wrestling match, my Daddy usually wins our real wrestling matches because he tickles me into submission and I laugh real loud, or he just holds me up in the air over his head. It's a lot of fun except when we accidentally bonk our heads together. That's not so much fun because Daddy has a big head.

Rokenbok Wrestling

I like this video because it shows a little boy and his daddy playing Rokenbok, kind of like my Daddy and I play Rokenbok together. They make two Rokenbok vehicles wrestle each other until one tips the other one over. The little boy won and his mommy was happy. I would love to do this with my Daddy, but I'm still a little too young to control one of the vehicles, and did I mention that we only have one vehicle. This little boy has a good daddy.

Rokenbok TransGripper and Trailer

This is a video of the TransGripper and Trailer. I like to play with my John Deere tractors and hook a trailer to them. It would be really fun to have this Rokenbok vehicle because it comes with a trailer that I could put my little farm animals on and take them around my EO Barn. Daddy would like it too. He would probably play with it after I go to bed.

Rokenbok ROK'n Roadways

This video is short but it features Rok'n Roadways, the only other Rokenbok addition I've gotten since I got the starter set for Christmas. Daddy is real creative in trying to make something fun for our one Skip Trac to drive on, but we probably need to get at least one more Rok'n Roadways for him to be able to finish his designs. It's not that expensive either, which is probably why my Daddy got it.

Rokenbok Night Shift Start Set

My cousin has this too, but my Daddy hasn't quite gotten around to getting it for me yet. That's okay though, he's still a good Daddy. I like this because I think it's fun to watch the balls go up the conveyor belt. If I just had the conveyor belt I wouldn't really want anything else. I could play with it while my Daddy built a new Rokenbok to drive our one vehicle on. Sometimes he tries to build buildings that are real tall but then realizes that he doesn't have enough pieces to finish it.

Rokenbok RC Forklift

I love the Rokenbok RC Forklift! I don't have it yet, but I'm going to get it one day. My cousin has it at his house, but my Daddy hasn't gotten it for me yet.
