A model vehicle with body mount components are provided. A tongue member attached to a model vehicle body with a first and second tongue member is configured to engage a first securing member attached to a model vehicle chassis. A top surface of the second tongue member draws the model vehicle body towards the model vehicle chassis when the second tongue member engages the first securing member. A lever member with a lever handle, jaw clamp, and a lever pivot is configured to pivot between an engage and an unengaged position. The jaw clamp engages with a second securing member in the engaged position. The lever member further contains a retaining mechanism that is configured to rotate between a retained and unretained position. The retaining mechanism inhibits the lever handle from moving from the engaged to the unengaged position when the retaining mechanism is in the retained position.

A building block system includes one or more building blocks and one or more wheels, each building block including a first elongate portion extending in a longitudinal direction, a second elongate portion extending in that longitudinal direction, an intermediate portion connecting the first elongate portion with the said second elongate portion at a middle position thereof, a first end portion extending in a transverse direction, perpendicular to that longitudinal direction, from the first elongate portion, at a side thereof opposite to the intermediate portion, and at a middle position thereof. A second end portion extends in that transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, from the second elongate portion, at a side opposite to the intermediate portion, and at a middle position thereof. It thus includes six protrusions and two voids, each void defined between an end of the first elongate portion and an end of the second elongate portion.

A rollable toy car of the present disclosure relates to the technical field of toys. The rollable toy car includes a car body device, a rolling device arranged on the car body device, and a transformation actuating device arranged on the car body device, wherein a transformation actuator actuates a first car body to rotate by means of a first gear set; the transformation actuator actuates a third car body to rotate by means of a third gear set; and a first rolling frame is driven to rotate by the first car body, and a third rolling frame is driven to rotate by the third car body, so that the first rolling frame, a second rolling frame and the third rolling frame are jointly enclosed into a rollable shape.
