Maisto Twitter Party

 A Geek Daddy has been financially compensated for promoting and participating in The Toy Insider's #MaistoTECHRC Twitter Party.

A Geek Daddy is excited to be a panelist for The Toy Insider's MAISTO TOYS Twitter Party on Friday, May 13 from 11 a.m. - Noon EST.  Join us for an hour of chatting about cool toys, engaging in fun banter, and competing in trivia contests for some great prizes.

Maisto is a toy company that specializes in licensed die-cast cars and remote control (R/C) vehicles. The Maisto brand name was registered in 1990 by the May Cheong Group, a vertically integrated manufacturer based in Hong Kong. With a wide variety of models and styles to choose from, there are exotic cars, off-road trucks, boats, or even planes to pick up and admire. If you’re a newcomer to the hobby, or long-time collector, their ever-expanding product line will be sure to have something for you. They even have an array of play sets and R/Cs for the little ones in your life, truly providing fun for the whole family.

To get ready for the MAISTO TOYS Twitter Party, A Geek Daddy was provided some R/C Cyklone 360 Motorcycle Bikes for my kids to test out and race.  These futuristic looking motorcycles feature giant rear wheels that change colors as you race through embedded LED lighting plus the remote control lets you flip the back wheel from side to side allowing for 360 degree spins and stunts.  I'll be sharing our experience playing with the R/C Cyklone 360 Motorcycle Bikes during this twitter party with The Toy Insider and we'll be giving away five of these toys throughout the hour.  Plus one lucky grand prize winner will receive a Maisto Tech Rock Crawler 3XL.

To participate in the twitter party be sure to follow @Maistotoys and @thetoyinsider and tweet with #MaistoTECHRC.  Plus follow A Geek Daddy (@Geekdad248) and two other awesome panelists @charlenedeloach and @allmommywants! Hope you'll join us on Friday, May 13 during the #MaistoTECHRC Twitter Party!
