This review is from: Automoblox T9 Truck Green by Automoblox (Toy)

I bought the Automoblox truck for my grandson's 4th birthday. It has an instant hit. He liked that he could take the truck apart and put together another combination.

The truck body is actually 3 parts, the front end, the truck cab(body) and the truck bed, joined together by very easy to use bright green plugs. The truck puts together as shown in the images, or the cab can be eliminated to make a cute little "buggy".

This toy is very sturdy and appears to be well designed and engineered. I'll be checking with my grandson to see how well his Automoblox truck is holding up to daily play. The Automoblox information says that each Automoblox model is interchangeable with other models. So, if this model is holding up well, I will be ordering at least one of the other models for Christmas.

Caution for those with smaller children who still like to eat their toys; there are wooden people who plug into the inside of the truck cab, the toy loses very little play appeal if you tuck those away until the eating urge passes.

The only downside I can think of is that the price was a bit high. However, it does come in a very sturdy cardboard box that seems designed to create the image of an heirloom toy. I can see that happening. All in all, if the toy holds up as it appears it is designed to do, that is money well spent.

This review is from: Automoblox T9 Truck Green by Automoblox (Toy)

We now have three of the automoblox cars. They are a great toy and happen to be the only toy my 4 year old son hasn't lost a part of. They are easy to pull apart and put together and are sturdy. They are a tab pricy, but the fact that they have lasted as long as they have makes up for that. He enjoys having 3 of them now so that he can mix and match the parts. My babysitter is going to get more of them for all of the kids to play with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for developing gross and fine motor skills, and creativity, November 23, 2007

This review is from: Automoblox T9 Truck Green by Automoblox (Toy)

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.
