Cut, Connect, and Go Farther Than Ever Before with 100 Feet of Building Possibilities

The Fat Brain Air Toobz Mega Run Distance Kit revolutionises Air Toobz play by breaking down the barriers of traditional building sets. This innovative expansion includes a massive 100-foot roll of flexible poly tubing that lets young engineers stretch their Air Toobz airways as far as imagination allows. Build down the hall, up a flight of stairs, across multiple rooms, or even from your window to a neighbour's house. The Mega Run transforms Air Toobz from a tabletop toy into a whole-home (or neighbourhood!) adventure.

What Makes the Air Toobz Mega Run Distance Kit Special?

Unlike standard Air Toobz sets that limit builds to the rigid tubes included, the Mega Run Distance Kit provides 100 feet of customisable, flexible tubing that you can cut to any length needed. This flexibility enables builds that were previously impossible: winding through doorways, travelling up staircases, spanning across rooms, or creating elaborate outdoor installations. The special connectors lock the flexible tubing securely to standard Air Toobz components, seamlessly integrating long-distance runs into your existing builds.

One Hundred Feet. Unlimited Destinations.

Key Features & Benefits:

100 Feet of Flexible Poly Tubing The centrepiece of the Mega Run kit is a full 100-foot roll of flexible, durable poly tubing. This isn't rigid plastic that only connects at specific angles—it's flexible tubing that bends, curves, and routes wherever you need it to go. The tubing maintains proper airflow even when bent or twisted, ensuring balls travel smoothly through even the longest, most winding runs. The 100-foot length provides enough material for multiple builds or one truly epic distance run.

Cut to Any Custom Length One of the most innovative features of the Mega Run is the ability to cut the tubing to exactly the length you need. Building a 15-foot run down the hallway? Cut 15 feet. Creating a 40-foot run from upstairs to downstairs? Cut 40 feet. Need multiple shorter segments for different parts of your build? Cut the tubing into as many pieces as needed. This customisation means zero wasted material and perfect-fit builds every time.

Special Locking Connectors Included The kit includes special connectors designed specifically to attach the flexible tubing to standard Air Toobz rigid tubes, elbows, and accessories. These connectors lock securely, creating airtight seals that maintain the powerful airflow needed to propel balls through long-distance runs. The connectors attach easily—just insert the tubing and twist to lock—and provide the same reliable connection as standard Air Toobz components.

Compatible with All Air Toobz Components The Mega Run integrates seamlessly with every Air Toobz set and accessory. Connect flexible tubing to straight tubes, elbow connectors, T-junctions, Switches, funnels, or any other Air Toobz component. This universal compatibility means you can incorporate long-distance runs into elaborate tabletop builds, extend existing systems across rooms, or create hybrid builds combining rigid structure with flexible routing.

Build Across Multiple Rooms The 100-foot length opens up entirely new building possibilities. Create runs that start in one bedroom, travel down the hallway, and end in another bedroom. Build systems that begin upstairs and deliver balls downstairs to waiting collectors. Route tubing through doorways, around furniture, or along walls to connect distant locations. The Mega Run transforms your entire home into a building canvas.

Vertical Building Capabilities The flexible tubing excels at vertical runs that would be impossible with rigid tubes. Route tubing up staircases, from ground floor to upper floor, or even from upper windows down to ground level (with adult supervision). The tubing's flexibility allows it to follow staircase angles perfectly, whilst the powerful Air Toobz airflow maintains enough pressure to propel balls upward through vertical sections.

Outdoor Building Adventures Weather permitting, take your Air Toobz builds outside with the Mega Run. Create runs from house windows to backyard play areas, build elaborate garden installations, or even connect your Air Toobz system to a neighbour's house for collaborative building projects. The durable poly tubing withstands outdoor use, opening up exciting new building environments beyond indoor spaces.

STEM Learning Through Large-Scale Engineering Building with the Mega Run teaches advanced STEM concepts including distance and measurement (calculating needed tubing lengths), spatial planning (routing through complex spaces), air pressure dynamics (understanding how pressure changes over long distances), structural engineering (supporting long tubing runs), problem-solving (overcoming obstacles and routing challenges), and systems thinking (designing builds that span multiple environments).

Encourages Ambitious Projects The Mega Run inspires children to think bigger and attempt more ambitious builds than ever before. Instead of being limited to tabletop creations, they can design whole-home installations, create neighbourhood connections, or build elaborate multi-level systems. This expanded scope encourages planning, persistence, and the confidence to tackle large projects.

Develops Planning and Measurement Skills Using the Mega Run requires children to plan their builds carefully. They must measure distances, calculate needed tubing lengths, consider routing paths, and solve logistical challenges like routing through doorways or around furniture. These real-world engineering skills develop mathematical thinking, spatial reasoning, and practical problem-solving abilities.

Perfect STEAM Expansion For:

Extending existing Air Toobz collections to epic scales, children who love large-scale building projects, STEM education projects about air pressure and distance, creating whole-home or multi-room installations, collaborative building with siblings or neighbours, classroom demonstrations of long-distance airflow, birthday gifts for Air Toobz enthusiasts ready to expand, outdoor building adventures and garden installations, and teaching concepts of measurement, planning, and large-scale engineering.

What's Included:

100-foot roll of flexible poly tubing (suitable for cutting to custom lengths), special locking connectors for attaching tubing to Air Toobz components, instructions for cutting and connecting tubing, compatible with all Air Toobz sets and accessories, and suitable for ages 6 years and up (adult supervision recommended for cutting and outdoor builds).

Why Parents & Kids Love the Air Toobz Mega Run:

Parents appreciate how the Mega Run extends play beyond single rooms, encouraging whole-home creative projects that keep children engaged for hours. The kit teaches practical skills like measurement and planning whilst delivering exciting, large-scale results. The ability to cut custom lengths means the investment provides value across many different builds. Kids love the thrill of building runs that span incredible distances, the adventure of routing tubing through their entire house, the satisfaction of successfully completing elaborate multi-room systems, and the excitement of outdoor building possibilities.

Building Ideas with the Mega Run:

Bedroom-to-Bedroom Delivery System: Build a run that starts in one child's room, travels down the hallway, and delivers balls to a sibling's room. Create a ball-sharing system or competitive challenge where siblings race to send balls to each other.

Upstairs-to-Downstairs Grand Prix: Route tubing from an upstairs window or railing down to the ground floor, creating a dramatic vertical descent. Time how fast balls travel from top to bottom.

Backyard Adventure Course: Take Air Toobz outdoors with a run from a window to the backyard, incorporating trees, play equipment, or garden features into the route.

Obstacle Course Challenge: Create a winding course that travels through multiple rooms, around furniture, up stairs, and through doorways. Challenge family members to design the longest or most creative route.

Neighbourhood Connection: With parent permission and supervision, build a run from your window to a neighbour child's window, creating an exciting ball-sharing system that connects houses.

Multi-Level Tower: Build a tall structure indoors or outdoors, using the flexible tubing to create spiralling descents or vertical climbs within the tower.

Educational Value & Learning Outcomes:

The Mega Run teaches children about distance and scale, showing how engineering principles apply to large projects. Children learn practical skills including measuring (calculating needed tubing lengths using tape measures or estimation), cutting (safely cutting materials to precise lengths with adult help), spatial planning (visualising routes through complex three-dimensional spaces), physics (understanding how air pressure propels objects over long distances), problem-solving (overcoming obstacles like doorways, corners, and elevation changes), and project management (planning, executing, and completing ambitious multi-stage builds).

The hands-on nature of routing tubing through real spaces makes abstract concepts like distance, airflow, and structural support concrete and understandable.

Expanding Your Air Toobz System:

The Mega Run works brilliantly as an expansion to any Air Toobz set. Start with a basic Air Toobz building set to understand the core mechanics, then add the Mega Run to unlock whole-home building possibilities. Combine the flexible tubing with rigid Air Toobz tubes for builds that feature both structured tabletop sections and long-distance flexible runs. Add multiple Switches to control where balls travel through your expanded system, or incorporate funnels and collectors at various endpoints throughout your home.

Each build teaches new lessons about distance, routing, and large-scale engineering.

Safety Considerations:

The Mega Run is designed for ages 6 and up, but adult supervision is recommended for cutting tubing and planning outdoor or multi-level builds. When cutting tubing, adults should use appropriate tools and supervise closely. For outdoor builds or builds near windows, ensure proper safety precautions are in place. The durable poly tubing is designed to withstand normal play, but avoid sharp objects or excessive force that could damage the material.

Storage and Reusability:

The flexible tubing can be rolled up for compact storage when not in use. Because you cut the tubing to custom lengths, plan builds thoughtfully to minimise waste. However, even short leftover pieces can be incorporated into future builds, and the connectors are reusable across many projects. Consider storing different length pieces separately for quick access during future building sessions.
