The ZoobMobile Cruiser Remote Control has been a very popular toy for boys age 6 years and up this holiday season.
The ZoobMobile Cruiser is a build your own remote control car kit.
You design your own remote control vehicle using Zoob pieces; then you drive your car around using the remote conrol.
You can race 2 units against each other but they must be on different frequencies. Infinitoy makes the ZoobMobile in 2 different frequencies to solve this problem.
Here at ToyShelf.com we will make sure that when a customer orders 2 ZoobMobile Remote Control Units we will send 2 different frequencies so that they can be enjoyed together.
If you already have an existing set and your are ordering another make sure to request a different frequency.
In the special instructions field at checkout please indicate that you already have a ZoobMobile Cruiser in Frequency __MHz and we will make sure to send you a different one.
You can find your ZoobMobile frequency on the middle section of the mobile body on a little round sticker.

Hi,
With holiday shopping in full swing I would like to share with you some of the most popular toys this holiday season.
The Gund Wild and Wooly collection is a very popular gift item for adults - most notably the Moose Head and Deer Head. The Wild and Wooly Mock Mounted Heads look like your typical mounted head yet these are not made from real animals - rather they are made of various plush furs to make them look very real without harming any animals!
Building toys and Construction sets are very popular. Kids love to build and create and then they get to show off their creations. Children get to exercise their creative thinking skills, fine motor skills and much more. Children also learn to communicate and build social skills when building with friends.
Zoob has an extensive selection of great sets from 15 piece sets to 500 pieces, they have sets with remote control components too which make a great set on their own or as an add-on to an existing collection. There are Zoob Junior sets for kids age 3-6 years and sets for 6 years and up. I have seen parents sitting on the floor actively enjoying building with their children’s zoob sets. Zoob is also used by science students to build DNA models - ZOOB’s shape is inspired by the nucleotides (the basic structural units of nucleic acids) that make up DNA. In short - This is a great toy that everyone loves!
