Ridemakerz review and promotion for you!

I received a "gift" from MomSelect to try out an amazing product from their "Holiday Hot List," and that product was from Ridemakerz! This was very

exciting to me because this fit right up my son's alley!Ridemakerz is a great place to create the ride of your dreams! My son had such a great time customizing his car to make it just what he wanted. He first picked out his favorite ride (car) amongst a great list of them, picked out a sound card to load into his car, and picked either freewheel or upgrade to the radio-control. Of coarse, Nathaniel had to have a radio-controlled car! That is one of the best parts! The next step, he picked out his wheelz...there were many choices, and that was a tough decision to make! After the wheelz, he choose the treadz to put on the wheelz, which didn't take him long to choose the flamez! Finally, he had the option to check out or add more features like a front/rear end, roof top, spoilerz, accessory kitz, etc. He was very excited about this website, designing his own custom car, and now he will get to put it together when he opens it for Christmas! Yes, he helped pick out his Christmas gift, but he still will be surprised to see it!
With every purchase, Ridemakerz is including their 2009 calendar, which features Ridez customized by Chip Foose. The Ridemakerz website has games to play, videos and pictures, and a club where kids can join in on more fun!
More about Ridemakerz
Ridemakerz is a new car customizing experience for kids (think Build-A-Bear Workshop® with cars), invites Customizers into the ultimate car-customizing Shop either online (RIDEMAKERZ.COM) or at one of the 12 Shops nationwide where they travel through seven zones, building and customizing their very own one-of-a kind RIDEZ. This Do-it-yourself-together™ experience unleashes creativity, encourages collaboration, provides choice, builds confidence and instills a sense of community for kids and families everywhere. The process is especially appealing to fathers and sons who can share memorable bonding time choosing parts and building the RIDE. RIDEMAKERZ RIDEZ and gift cardz are a great holiday gift idea for the boys in your life, ages 6 to 106! The gift that keeps on giving, RIDEZ start at just $12 and can be customized and added to for years to come. RIDEMAKERZ RIDEZ can be assembled in minutes with a hex wrench tool that looks like an ignition key, and snap-in, snap-on parts, but there’s still the sense of accomplishment once the RIDE is together. Each RIDE can be taken apart and reconfigured; basic models can be updated, decals repositioned; sounds, tires and chassis changed. They’re durable enough to play with and cool enough to collect. I really like this feature, because then my son can add/change/reassemble his masterpiece. A fun and exciting project for him to claim as his very own!
For a limited time, Ridemakerz is offering a great coupon offer for you, which entitles you to $10 off a $30 RIDEMAKERZ purchase. Just enter the code: 93471. This offer expires on January 4th, 2009

Automoblox!

I was so excited to get our new Automoblox in the mail! This is such a great car! The car is made with such high quality and details! I really like that the wood is thick and smooth! The boys love playing with this car, and really like how it drives so fast! With this car they can totally take everything apart...
The people (with shapes on the bottom of them) come out, the wheels come off, the rubber around the wheels come off, the front and back come off, and the hood of the car comes off! I know my boys love taking things apart, and then putting them back together again. What a mechanical and technical toy! I love it! Caleb loves the shapes at the bottom of the people. The shapes fit into the shapes in the bottom of the car, so they have to fit in the car just right. Every time he puts one of the pieces together, it "clicks" so he knows it went together. The details are meant to give the child satisfying feedback as they set out to accomplish the task of creating a unique car.
What makes the taking apart even more appealing with the Automoblox, is that kids can put the car back together with other pieces/parts from other Automoblox! So, they can construct a new modern design of a vehicle.
Patrick Calello is the designer of this new generation of contemporary heirloom toys.
Automoblox, combines his passion for automobiles with his passion for great design, to create a product that will challenge the next generation of great thinkers.
Having designed everything from detergent bottles to high-end consumer electronics,
Calello who specializes in product innovation, holds dozens of US and international
patents. His industrial design expertise has been utilized by the likes of Pfizer,
Johnson & Johnson, Colgate-Palmolive and Kellogg’s with graphic
design work that has graced Broadway marques and the

We are very happy with our A9 Compact Automoblox car, and now we just have to get more to create new designs!
These cars range in price from $34.99-$39.99. You can buy them here.
