Matchbox meets Legos meets Tinker Toys = Automoblox
When I saw this toy, that is immediately what came to mind. A matchbox that went together like Legos made out of Tinker Toys. You get the building aspect of Legos, the fun car play of matchbox and the creative play of Tinker Toys, without buying all three.
I have never seen anything like it before, I was intrigued. My husbands initial response was the same as mine, that is just cool. He said it reminded him of the toys he used to make as a kid with his Dad. My 7 year old son’s response was simply “That is wicked”. Translation: This toy is really cool!
The Automoblox Mini line is a scaled down version of the traditional Automoblox car. The Mini line of cars have a universal connector system that enables the a quick interchange of part – you can create one big car from all three, your imagination is the limits!
Evan spent an hour taking three of these cars apart making different variations of the car. He was totally enthralled with it. He kept saying “Mom, look what I made!” He even was able to go and register his car on Automoblox’s website . He likes to race them across the kitchen floor — the nice thing.. NO black marks from the tires like matchbox cars.
The full sized Automoblox are just as “wicked”. These are the original larger versions of the Automoblox. They are interchangeable and just as fun to play with!
As both a parent and teacher, I love the Automoblox. There are no loud noisy and beeps, so I appreciate that! I also am happy to find a toy that Evan will play with more than once. I spend my hard earned money on his gifts. Automoblox is something he will be able to play with for quite some time and continue to add to the collection.
From a teacher perspective there is a great educational side to these toys. They help with the development of fine and gross motor skills. Not to mention, these toys help with creative play. I think Automoblox would be a great tool for children who are delayed or struggling developing fine and gross motor skills as well. The
My son is still at an age where he is learning to explore what he can do. I think he enjoyed these because he was able to create so many unique cars. They were all his ideas. His face lit up when he thought of a new creation.
Did I mention that these are not just for boys? Deep down every girl wants a pink sports car (or is that just me?) This pink C9 Automoblox is a great for a little girls. My niece would rather play with cars than dolls. I know I am always thinking what can I buy her for her birthday. She would totally love this car.

I like the C9-R Sports car. What a fun concept. I did notice that they didn’t have any minivan models. What are they not cool enough to want to build? =)
Daniell,
I had to comment to your comment. Umm, yeah I am thinking for some reason that the Mini van wouldn’t be a hot seller.
I like the T900 Truck! What a neat toy!
I like the T9 Mini Truck. These are too cool. I think I have to add this to my child’s Christmas list!
I love the C9-R Sports Car. Definitely wicked!
I love the C9-P Sports Car….and my daughter would, too!
we like the X9-X sport utility…tough looking and green!
I love the truck.. and I think kids need more toys like this than video games.. what can be more fun than taking something a part and putting it back together..
I like the X9-X sport utility . My son would have so much fun with one of these. Great Christmas idea!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
My son has a birthday coming up and he’d go crazy for the T9-SE Signature Series pickup truck. It looks just like daddy’s pickup so that would excite him a lot!
I love the M9 sport- van!
I love the T-900 Truck……it is way COOL looking! My nephew LOVES trucks & cars……he would throughly enjoy these new trucks & cars!
We have 3 of the minis, but you gotta love that T900 truck
These are cool. I was a tomboy when I was little. I loved tinker toys and I collected match boxes… I love the pink wheels.
We have several of the minis and we love them! We have found few stores near us that sold them. Target did for about a month last year, I wish they still did.
We would love to have C9-R sports car!
I would have to go with the S9 Sedan. My son loves the color blue and this car would be right up his alley:)
My favorite is the C9-R sports car – very cute!
I love the T900 truck. It would be an AWESOME gift for my nephew!
I like the X9-X Sport Utility.
My daughter would love this! She too loves to play with cars and finally there is something that is for a boy but girly – love it!!! Since her favorite color is purple and I have a sport utility vehicle, I would have to pick the x9 sport utility for her – we can be twins, just different colors!
SO neat! My boys would totally love these! I like the T900 Truck – like my husbands trucks. What age is this rated for?
I think the Truck is very very cool! (and my son does too!)
Who can choose just one? How cool are these cars? I like the X9-X Mini SUV.
Thanks for sharing this opportunity to win one!
It is so hard to chose which one I like most. I guess maybe the A9 compact.
My son really loves to build things I bet he would love one of these, as well as my husband (but then he is still a child : ) ).
I LOVE THE T900 TRUCK AND MY BOYS WOULD THINK IT’S THE GREATEST!!! HONESTLY THEY WOULD LOVE THEM ALL. I DON’T KNOW WHO WOULD PLAY WITH THEM MORE, THE KIDS OR ME!!! THANKS FOR THE AWESOME SNEAK PEEK!!

Very Cool! My son would love the S9-R Mini sports sedan!
My favorite is the X9X SUV one. It just looks so cool! (Oh, yeah….and I’d love to win it for my son )
I personally love the c9p pink sportscar but my boys would love the truck!
I would have loved this when I was younger … I was a builder (now an engineer!). I like the T900 truck … that grill is awesome!
I have 3 boys so we would have to get the mini 3 pack so everyone could have one of their own. Probably the T9/S9/C9 since my 4 year old likes the color green.
I like the s9 sedan. I think my son would love these. A neat Christmas idea.
The green C9 Pickup!! Those are REALLY cool!
I love the T900- as a teacher I like that these inspire the use of the kids imagination!
HOW COOL! My son is going to love these!! Thanks for the review. I’m going to have to get some for my little guy. We love the truck especially but all of them are awesome.
My son would love the C9-R Sportscar! What a great idea. I’m so tired of legos and would welcome a comparable toy!
The T900 mini truck is cool; looks like a cross between the mini cooper XL and a pick-up truck

The s9 sedan is great. My son would love this car.
I can’t make up my mind which I like best – it’s between the red C-9 sports car and the purple X-9 sports utility. They all look pretty cool to me.
