I like to build things. I also like cars. That is why the A9 Compact Automoblox is really cool. I get to build a car. I really like that. I am pretty good at building things and I had fun playing with my cousin, Lil B, and my dad. We switched parts between the A9 Compact and the Automoblox T9 Pickup. The fact that you can mix up parts is part of why playing with this toy is so fun.
I’m a 13 year old kid. I know some building toys are suited better for younger kids. The car building system by Automoblox isn’t like that. Everybody in the family wanted to play with this toy. Even my mom liked it and she usually prefers playing with the toys that most girls like playing with such as dolls and My Little Pony. We all agreed this is the coolest car that we have had the chance to review and that’s why I’m writing this review.
Positives & Negatives:
Positives
-Fun
-Easy to put together
-Hard to damage/break
-High quality design
-Unique Toy
Negatives
-Has a few small parts
Pricing & Availability:
You can look for Automoblox online. There are some shops where you can buy the cars. The Automoblox website has a shop. At the shop, you can buy Automoblox cars. There is a wide variety of cars to choose from with all of the cars between $30 and $40. The A9 Automoblox is $34.99. It is orange in color with a wooden frame. You may be able to use the store locator on the website to find a store where you can buy Automoblox. I’ve never seen them in local stores like Wal-Mart. I recommend you find them online and buy them. Your kids will love Automoblox and so will you!
Requirements & Instructions:
You don’t need anything like batteries to play with the Automoblox A9 Compact car. Your car is put together. You can take it apart. Nearly everything comes apart. You can put it back together and drive it around or you can mix and match it with other car parts if you have another Automoblox car. We have a T9 Pickup. It was fun to play with as I put the front of the truck on the Compact and mixed and matched the green and orange wheels and rims.
The best advice I can give is to use your imagination. Switch up your car then drive it around your table, the floor, outside or anywhere. Anywhere you play you are sure to have fun.
Durability:
This car is durable. I dropped it and so did Lil B. I don’t recommend dropping it on your foot. It isn’t really heavy, but it is heavy enough to hurt your foot. It will hurt you more than the car. The car is made of a heavy wood and according to the Automoblox website, the hood, wheels, people and other parts is durable polycarbonate. This toy is for kids 3 and up. This is because the wheel parts are small and so are the people in the car.
Ease of Use:
It was easy for both Lil B and me to take apart and put together the Automoblox A9 Compact. My dad had a little bit of trouble with this. He has a muscle disease. He did get them apart, but it took him a few tries. It is easy for most people to take these toys apart but if you have a muscle disease and need help, it is a good thing that Automoblox are good toys for sharing. Someone can help you with the parts. Pushing them together was easier than taking them apart for him. This is a good family toy. I know I had fun helping and playing with everyone and my dad had more fun moving the car once it was together then he did putting it together.
Fun Factor & Overall Appeal:
This toy is fun. Who doesn’t love building things or cars? I love both. I couldn’t wait to play with this toy. It is made of very good wood and is incredibly durable. I know it will be a toy that will last a long time. This is a toy that anyone can play with. Girls and boys of any age and even adults love Automoblox. This toy is going to last a long time and I’ll probably play with it when I’m an adult, so it is well worth the purchase.
Bottom Line:
If you are like me and like to build then you need to buy an Automoblox car. It’s fun no matter how young or old you are. Building a car is fun because you can drive it after you build it. To have even more fun, buy a few different cars. Then you can mix and match the parts and create cool new cars like I did. This toy comes very highly recommended from a 13 year old kid.
