<p>Superstructs has launched SuperBuilds, a search engine for models to build. SuperBuilds is a searchable database loaded with fun Superstructs models and the downloadable building plans to help you make them. With SuperBuilds, young builders can quickly find new building ideas based on the Superstructs sets they own. </p>
<p>All searches are based on the components in each set, so you will not receive results that cannot be made without buying more sets. But if you wish to see what else can be made when you do own more, the SuperBuilds system can show you that too! Our designers have been busy and they don’t seem to limit themselves to designing using the components from only one set.</p>
<p>Check it out! <a href="http://dbx.superstructs.com" target="_blank" type="button">SuperBuilds</a></p>

<p>They have helped us build Atlantis, the Sumerian Zigarut, and the Egyptian Pyramids. They have been with us from the earliest primative societes and taught us the crafts and artistry of master-building. They have helped humanity to build its character and they are about to reveal themselves for the very first time&#8230;</p>

<p>WABA Fun previewed its new line of collectible building characters at the International Toy Fair in New York.</p>
<h2><strong><a title="arcateks.com" href="http://arcateks.superstructs.com" target="_self">VISIT THE ARC-A-TEKS WEBSITE!</a></strong></h2>
<p><strong>About the Arc-a-Teks Building Characters</strong><br />
Arc-a-Teks are fun and adorable collectible character sets with a compelling story. The first series, due to release Summer 2010, consist of three sets (Earth, Sky and Sea) and six characters. Each set includes 40-42 pieces, enough to build two complete Arc-a-Teks characters simultaneously and collector cards that reveal the Arc-a-Tek&#8217;s name, details and a secret code to unlock additional Arc-a-Teks online. Kids can also use the web site to learn more about the history of the Arc-a-Teks and their muse-like influence on many of Earth&#8217;s own famous designers and inventors</p>
<p>Like all our Superstructs sets, the Arc-a-Teks line is flexible and open-ended, allowing kids to combine pieces from any set for endless building options. For ages 3+; SRP: $11.95.</p>
