Automoblox Convertible Photo: Automoblox cars allow your kids to play with cool vehicles and interchange parts to build their own

I decided to theme today’s post around a new addition to the Automoblox line of toy cars and trucks. This particular item is the Automoblox C9-S berlinetta. Looking at the images on the site this one appears to be modeled loosely against the Chevrolet Corvette, but with massive 22″ wheels. At $38 this may be the perfect primary stocking ingredient for the 2009 season.

Also of note, and on offer at Automoblox are the following:
X9X Sport Utility
C9R Sportscar
A-9S Convertible

For those of you in the US, have a look at Amazon for Automoblox on SALE!

Classic Pedal Cars? Where Were These When I Was Young

Classic pedal cars for your retro styling child driver. All she needs is a baby chauffeur.

In my day the world was all Big Wheels and six-wheeled alligator amphibious vehicle replicas. I remember hearing about pedal cars from my family, and seeing them in old family photo albums, but I don’t know anyone who had one and oddly didn’t lust after them at all.

This post over at Autobloggreen.com changed my mind real fast despite the years that have passed. The one with flames will be mine.

Construction Toys You Wish You Had

Get your little engineer off to a strong start. Wooden digger and combi-car with digger front.

Some of you might be good engineers today, but imagine the success you’d be if your parents had sprung for some of the items on offer from Holz Toys. Not only do these things actually work and allow your kid to mimic the big boys… but the kid’s SUPPOSED to ride on them.

Wooden Digger
While the kid in the photo appears pretty comfortable with his new toy something tells me this thing could quickly separate the top 5% percent (in terms of coordination) from the “others.”

CombiCar With Digger Front
If Jr. struggles with the Wooden Digger maybe you should consider this one. Not only does it look easier to manipulate, I suspect it will also help build up the forearms.

Wonder how much they cost to ship from the UK?

Moolka. Stylish retro toys for small kids and large. I WILL own the espresso racecar.

Moolka
While its clear that Europeans build cool adult cars, I’m sure you’ve been wondering whether they dominate the luxury toy car market as well… right? Am I right? Of course I am.

The answer my friends, as I’m sure you’ve guessed is yes, of course they do.
Roll on over to Moolka.com to check out these remarkably cool toys… the lightening blue Xtreamliner Cab, Airliner Black and Oldtimer Espresso are far and away my personal favourites.

Suck it Hot Wheels.
