Automoblox are Amazing!

[ChunkyNicksChunkyMom]

A friend on the board told me how much her son enjoys these. When I googled them and saw how expensive they are I was very skeptical. They are really recommended for 5-6 year olds but Nick at 26 months is completely taking them apart and ( mostly) putting them back together. They help with learning colors and shapes. Nick is very mechanically inclined for his age but even a child who was not would certainly enjoy pushing these around until an older age. These are getting so much play at our home that they have been worth every penny. There are some small parts that I do need to keep away from the baby. This is the only toy in this house that I actually look forward to playing with too.

Thanks for the review Susan. I had wondered about these, but they are so darn expensive! It is good to hear that your ds is enjoying them!

Join the co-op group - there's a co-op for these in March. DS also loves the two I got him for Christmas so we're going to get some more.

You said it Susan. Peyton got three for his birthday and they are awesome! He loves them. Dh and the boy are both getting a kick out of them. I think they are super cool too. :)

They are a big hit at our house as well. We have all of them except for the pink one. I bought them for 50% off at creativebrainsonline.com over the past year. They currently have the X9 Sport Utility Vehicle for $19.99:

Automoblox customer service is fantastic as well. My son broke a wheel when he accidentally stepped on it. When my husband called to buy a replacement, they sent us 4 for free. Additionally, they apologized that the wheels didn't stand up to normal children's play and said they were redesigning them to be stronger!

DS will be 4 soon and I've been wanting to get one (well all!) of these. I just ordered the clearance once plus 2 extension kits and it's free UPS Shipping when you spend > $30!

Thank you SOOOO much!

I love the purple SUV. Do you know if they are on clearance because of the pending redesign? I'm trying to decide if I should buy it now or wait until the new ones come out. Thanks!

That is the best price I have seen and Nick loves the "purple" car. The redesign has already happened.

Awesome...thanks! I'm off to buy the SUV.

By the way, does anyone have experience with the extenders? How do those work, and what's the point?

The price is now $34.99.

Thanks so much for the co-op info... I had no idea such a thing existed! Can't wait to join!

And the automoblox look awesome... I will have to think about getting one for starters for my son's second birthday coming up in March!

The red sportscar and the purple SUV are $30

The green pickup truck is $35

I got free shipping by signing up with my email address, but the code was: FGROUND

I think this will be the same price as the coop...so if you can't wait this is a great price.

HTH!

Do you guys think these would be worth stashing away for a few months until his 2nd birthday?

Other than Nick, are there any other 2ish kids enjoying these?

[brilliance2]

I just got a red sportscar at this great price!

Thank you!!!!
