Customer Reviews

Great for developing gross and fine motor skills, and creativity
This is an exceptional toy, that combines the gross motor skill training of block, the fine motor skills training of fitting pieces together in the correct manner, and the creativity of learning how to use different pieces to make unique creations.

It's solid wood, good quality, and well-packaged. The vehicles are made in the USA, although the wood is German beech wood.

The price is a bit high, but this isn't a "mass market" toy, this is a toy that seems like it could be passed down to your kid's children. Obviously, you can tell I was very happy with the toy.

Automoblox
Automoblox cars are very attractive, roll well, and have nice, sturdy wood bodies. Not sure how sturdy the wheels are since the tires come off and seem like they can tear with rough play, but they have not broken yet. The kids have fun taking the cars apart and putting them back together again, like a puzzle game.

Fantastic toy - High Quality
This is a fantastic toy that my 3 year old loves to play with. We love cars and these are great toys obviously designed by someone who is into cars. The details are fantastic and the build quality is first rate.

As there are only a few parts per car my son does get bored with them somewhat quickly but always comes back to them to play with.

We have owned them for over six months and there are absolutely no concerns with durability at this point.

The tires are make of silicone (like the Livestrong bracelets) so I expect they will last for some time to come. These are not disposable Matchbox cars. These are high quality toys that will easily be in the family or passed along for years to come.
