Automoblox Mini S9 Police/X9 Fire/T900 Rescue

Great birthday gift for our 4 year old grandson and 6 yr old playmate. Timely shipping too. The kids loved and spent much time playing with them.

Value for money

The bodies of these cars are made of solid wood and feel sturdy. The tops are plastic and the wheels are rubber, plastic and/or metal. Ours arrived in good condition with no broken pieces. The cars seem to drive smoothly on wood and can drive on carpet too, though they don't always drive in a super straight line.The cars are held together with pegs that insert into holes on the block bodies. Our connections are all solid and tight, though perhaps a bit too tight, because I think my almost 5 year old may struggle to get them apart by himself, but he can certainly grow into them.One odd thing about this particular set is that the ambulance has peg holes on the front and back blocks and the police and rescue vehicles have peg holes in the middle. The police and rescue vehicles windshields extend over all three body blocks and the ambulance canopy block has a different peg and doesn't actually even solidly connect to the rescue or police vehicle bodies. So what? This means that the ambulance two top pieces cannot actually be interchanged with the other two vehicles, so the ambulance is not interchangeable at all (I've included some pictures to show the peg arrangement). This means that you can rearrange the bodies and tops of only the police and rescue vehicle, which doesn't really create much variation and is also a bit weird since you can end up with two vehicles that say both "rescue" and "police." This isn't a huge deal for us because I don't think my son with tinker with the configurations too much, at this point, but if you're looking for a fully interchangeable set, this isn't it.Overall I'm pleased with this set, though I'm not sure that for $26 it is the best value.

My wife found these and got some for our son. I think I fiddle with them more than he does. They come completely apart, but not in a cheap way–they are very premium feeling. The connections are gratifying and every piece tight... smooth. They roll really well, and are durable enough for our toddler to not destroy them.

We absolutely love automoblox but the part where the tire goes on is messed up and the tires just falls off, my son is upset that I can’t fix it wish that part was more sturdy.
