 Automoblox Nov 26, 2008
My son received the large Automblox car for his 3rd birthday and he plays with for hours on end! It flies across our wood floors and rugs. His 12 month old brother enjoys pushing it around as well. He even puts his gummy vitamins inside the car to give them a ride! I am going to order the 3-pack mini's for the boys for Christmas. I definitely recommend this product!
Staying Playing Power Nov 25, 2008
Bought these for my 3 yr old cousin for b'day present. He loves being able to make a "new" car again and again. They have lots of action; move fast on hardwood floors. Great for small and large "motor" skills. There's enough parts to share without argument with his brother, also. I know it's a good toy since it was what he played with all morning the day after he received them. I think the wood and plastic surfaces feel very nice as well.

Autoblocks Mini Nov 02, 2008
The Automobloxs Mini Three Pack I ordered for my grandson's Christmas gift are wonderful. The cars are sturdy, well designed, and will provide many options for creative play. The interchangeable color coded parts will provide a variety of creative applications for an inquisitive three year old, while being nearly indestructible.

Great quality & fun - choking hazard for <3 y.o. Oct 29, 2008
I just rec'd the minis as a gift for 4 y.o. son. He and his 18 month old brother love playing with them. It's the perfect size. I've had this for ~ 1 month. It appears that it will last through all my kids.
Other reviews seem accurate as to quality and fun, so I'll try to add new info:
Construction is of smooth wood and plastic. The wood pieces snap together with sturdy plastic plugs and grommets permanently set into the wood. All wheels are removable and the rubber "tire" (like a thick rubberband with traction grooves on the inside) comes off too. The axle for the tire is permanently fixed into the wood. The clear roof easily slides in/out without grommets or snapping but will not fall out if turned upside down.
The decals are painted on - not stickers. So they don't peel off. Great.
The plugs, grommets, axles, tires and roof are all color coded alike. That really helps me put the proper pieces together later. The set also includes 4 spare black tires.
It's a little difficult to pull the pieces apart sometimes due to the smooth wood, but once my son figured out how to grip it around the axles, he didn't have a problem. Among other things, it's fun to flip a piece so the wheels roll on the top of the car (it's silly) or rotate the roof.
Downsides:
1. The wheels & tires are choke hazards for my 18-mo-old. As expected; the toy is not meant for that age. The 4-yr-old also removes the wheels with his mouth/teeth b/c they snap on tightly. Not all children would do this, but just be aware. I have no problem removing the wheels by hand.
2. The wheels end up all over the toy room if the toddler is around. As I said, the set includes 4 extra wheels.
Overall it's a great toy for girl or boy age 3-?. I recommend the minis and like that there are 3 to interchange parts and interact in pretend play. This is the quality I want - and would pay for - in all new or classic toys.

Good for toddlers too Sep 16, 2008
Recommended age for this toy is 36 months, but my 20-month old daughter was never a "mouther", so I wasn't too worried about her swallowing small parts. She was very fascinated by these cars, and she figured out the concept of pegs and holes surprisingly quickly. She was able to put together various cars by herself and entertained herself for 30 minutes at a time, a very long time for a young toddler. We might increase this collection in the future, but it was definitely one of the best toys for her in her second year of life.
