A comment on Bloxes.

Whatever you are trying to accomplish, there's a cheaper way to do it. You can get used cubicles and furniture on Ebay and sound foam isn't all that pricey either.

The chief attraction is that they seem like fun, but just wait till the novelty wears off. I just don't see the need to spend $60 dollars on something I could accomplish with a crate.

I'm with you. I considered the possibility of getting a pack for my son. Then I had sticker shock. He'll have to just make due with empty paper and shoe boxes for his fort (a bloxes pack is available for $999?!).

Make a cardboard cutout press with your son in your garage using this layout or a similar one.

The cutout press could be done relatively easily, and building that could be more fun than the bloxes :)
