Great for developing gross and fine motor skills, and creativity November 23, 2007

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 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 July 10, 2008

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.
great fun for little hands! April 15, 2010

We have about 10 minis in our house for our six year old son, four year old daughter and two year old son. They love them! They are small enough that my little one can tote them along anywhere we go. And because they are priced right, losing one and having to replace it won't send me over the edge. These are fantastic little toys!
 Older boys = nothing lasts September 26, 2009

Great toy. My nephew loves everything about this Automoblox mini. Super design, black rims are cool, you can take it apart. The problem is that 6-y.o. boys can wreck anything.
The weak points in the minis are the tires.
The rubber tires are darn cool, but they are a little bit thicker than rubber bands. It doesn't take much rough play (removal from the rims & such) before one of the tires is ripped & no longer wheel-shaped.
Would I recommend these? Only if you don't want to spend money on the bigger Automoblox, or if you've got less destructive children. Otherwise, buy the bigger ones, IMO.
(My son has not destroyed his S9 mini sedan, but Daddy likes the toy more than he does right now... so that has something to do with it)
