Sweeties Note: It appears that you have to go to their site everyday at 4 pm to enter and be one of the first 300 (400 on the last day) to enter and then you get the free Mario toy. It appears (not completely clear on this) that they are only accepting 300 entries per day.
Upon initial registration by a child under the age of 18, the parent of the entrant will be sent an email notifying them that their child is one of the 300 entries per day entitled, if their parent approves, to receive a completely free K’NEX figure.

Sweeps Rating: Trip (Okay); Free toy (Winnable)
They accepted my entry, so we’ll see! I couldn’t even get the page to load with Internet Explorer, but I did get it to come up (slowly) in Google Chrome. Not sure why, but I had them side by side to try both right at 4:00. Good luck!
i wonder why they make you pay for your own travel expenses and then have to wait for reimbursement after the trip.
You have to go to website exactly at 4pm enter your birthdate and at following page enter your personal information and then submit. You have to be the first 300 people to do all the above to receive toy figure and be entered into drawing. Found out from experience!

I was one of the first 300. Finally! Yeah!
