Average rating3out of 5 stars3.0flexi use
I would recommend this to a friend!
I have many pieces of flexible track and find them very useful with my larger track designs. They allow your normal straights and curves to bend to exactly what shape you want. It is VERY important to only use 1 or 2 flexi tracks joined together so that your engines dont lose traction. I normally use 1 flexi part to 2 pieces of track and find I do not have any loss of traction. I agree that track pieces should be included in Pick-a-brick and you shoule be able to order 1 piece at a time.Play Experience3.0Was this helpful?

Average rating1out of 5 stars1.0Very unhappy with this.
Don't get me wrong, LEGO Trains is my favorite line of toys here. But, once normal curved tracks were no longer available to buy separate, I figured that this would be the same thing. NOPE. The first thing I noticed is that the flex-track only makes 1/4th of a circle, which I kind of expected, as a lot of the reviews here had pointed it out. The second thing is that trains derail easily along the flexitrack. I don't even have a powered train, I just run them using my hands, and they still derail. I am befuddled with how shoddy this set is. I would recommend LEGO to go back to the old tracks, as soon as possible. 1/10 stars.Play Experience1.0Value for Money2.0Was this helpful?

Average rating1out of 5 stars1.09v come back!!!
Pros:none Cons:everything "Flexible track" is so bumpy,wierd looking,and STINKS! dont get this set! Lego now thinks flexible track is some "replacement" for curves! My trains can hardly go around it! Now this is a good sugestion: discontinue this set and sell 8 straights in a set, 8 curves in a set, sell a left switch with a curve and sell a right switch with a curve in a different set,but keep the set that comes with only flexible track because sometimes you need one piece as a "placeholder" or to fill in that pesky gap in the tracks but otherwise is useless. I WOULD NEVER RECOMEND THIS TO A FRIEND!!!Play Experience1.0Value for Money1.0Was this helpful?

Average rating1out of 5 stars1.0Straight track good, Flexible track bad
Title says it all. I have bought a great deal of LEGO track in my day. I was skeptical about the switch to RC track, but I have truly learned to love it. The non-conductive rails offer many more layout possibilities than its predecessor. That being said, I was very optimistic about the Flexible track when it came out, but I still dislike it. It does not work well at all. It does exactly as its name implies, it flexes, moves and derails trains. No big deal, except I can no longer purchase curved RC tracks separately. Worse yet, I cannot purchase straight tracks by themselves. LEGO, can you please make straight and curved tracks available separetely again? Pretty please?Play Experience2.0Value for Money2.0Was this helpful?
