Winner of the Platinum 2006 Oppenheim Toy award, the gorgeous Automoblox have made a name for themselves among families seeking quality. These Automoblox Mini's are a scaled down version of the originals and will fit in the palm of your hand. Roughly 3 inches long and packed with design possibilities, minis have a universal connector system that enables you to the exchange parts among the vehicles, creating a multitude of different car styles.

Made of furniture-grade, straight-grain hard maple each Automoblox Mini is of superior construction and seems extremely sturdy. It should, because the translucent components are made of the same materials used for bulletproof vests and are nearly indestructible. Every component in the Automoblox Mini system is interchangeable: wheels, tires, roofs and wooden bodies, so the possibilities are endless. (Of course, while mini parts are interchangeable with each other, they are not interchangeable with full-sized Automoblox cars.)

Our Automoblox Mini collection includes: One sleek red sports car with speedy 5 spoke wheels, low profile red tires, and streamlined body; one sturdy green pick-up truck with a handy truck bed to haul all those 'must- haves'; and a nifty commuter car, with twelve spoke rims, bright blue low- profile tires, and distinctive headlights and taillights. And, like real cars, each Automoblox Mini comes with a unique 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that identifies the year and model of your car. You also can register the car online.

For ages 3+.

From the founders of Automoblox:
We live in a world where toys are a disposable commodity. The founders of Automoblox believe however, that we may be giving our children a harmful message. We feel that it's better to have one great toy instead of 10 cheap ones. It is this thinking that enabled us to engineer Automoblox to last. The selection of materials that comprise all Automoblox cars were made to meet specific performance requirements rather than a mass-market price point.

Designed as a heirloom toy from the get-go, we anticipated the bond between the child and the toy to be so great that they would wish to save Automoblox and pass it on to their own child.

Each Automoblox wheel is molded out of polycarbonate plastic which makes it literally bullet-proof, nearly impossible to break. It is finished in silver metalic paint with a non-toxic, clear coat finish for a lasting shine.

The beautiful translucent roofs featured on every Automoblox car are molded from polycarbonate plastic. The finish is equally rich with color and translucence. Simple drops are common in toys, but we engineered Automoblox to survive any accident involving an impact on its roof.

Automoblox was designed to withstand 10 repeated drops with all the weight being transferred on one wheel from a height of 7 ft. The car survives the test with little or no damage. While your Automoblox car is not warranteed from such abuse, we just thought it should be able to withstand a crash or two from the second story stair landing.

Axles are constructed of polycarbonate plastic as well making them virtually unbreakable. The axles are fixed to the wooden body components with friction so they stay in place. In the event an axel gets damaged it may be able to be fixed in the Automoblox repair shop.

Each wooden component of the Automoblox play system has three coats of non-toxic laquer applied to the smooth wood finish. Between each application of clear coat the surface is sanded smooth. This durable finish will resist scratches and dents from hours of hard play.

All Automoblox cars can withstand 110 lbs of downward force. We do recognize that children do some crazy things when mom and dad are not looking. We just don't want them to miss any playtime with Automoblox.
