New Automoblox Minis!

The boat with our latest US order finally arrived! Sometimes the boat trip from the US seems to take forever... but this time we even got our things one day early. We have so many new things that we haven't had a chance to unpack everything yet, but I just couldn't wait to see the new Automoblox products.

In the original Automoblox line, a few of the models have updates or new colors. The new S9R, C9R and X9X are souped-up versions of the original model, and look great. The C9P will - hopefully - make the line even more fun for girls.

But the real treat in the shipment was the new Automoblox Minis. These are just like the bigger Automoblox cars with a couple of differences:

• There are no people. In the original Automoblox line, 2, 4 or 8 people sit comfortably in shape-sorter seats. But in the Minis, the people would be too small. instead, the canopy fits neatly into the base.


• The Minis have a universal connector. In the original Automoblox line, the connectors are shaped (triangles, ovals, squares, etc) and the pieces must match up with the right connector. In the Mini line, all of the pieces connect with each other.

But they are the same great design, and the same great feel to "drive" across the floor. The price is much lower - and they are really, really cute! (We have three off-roading on our laser printer.)
