Acacia Grove Mini Cinder Blocks with Pallet, 1/12 Scale (48 Pack)

My husband really wanted these. They’re cute and fun.

I purchased the 1/12 cinder blocks to help facilitate the building of a new dwelling through emulation. Note: the AG pallets make nice coasters, but are not scale representations of a standard 48 x 40 pallet- so I made my own. The pallet photo was sent to a major box store as part of an large materials order recognizing the loading needed to be capped @ 24 cinder blocks / pallet - or 900lbs including the pallet to ensure the tractor loader lift ws not exceeded. 20 REAL pallets packed as modeled arrived and were off-loaded / staged without any additional manual handling. The 1/12 cinder blocks will also be used to model a rather intricate foundation for the block-layers. Well worth the value!!

This block set, I order 24 blocks on a pallet, is a big hit in my therapy office. My staff and clients love to play with them when in the office. It’s amazing how creative and fun such a simple set of blocks could be! Had to buy a mouse pad though for underneath so the cement didn’t damage my end table. Brilliant!

Fun gift for my husband! Came completely intact and wrapped nicely.

Bought these for my granddaughter, age 8. She loves to build things. So I bought these for her to use for accent walls etc on her structures. She loves them. Be advised, however, that they can break very easily. So these wouldn’t be appropriate for a small child

Ive gotten multiple of these for gifts for my clients and they love them! Its definitely a conversation starter!

Bought this for my desk at work and my son has taken it for his RC car. Seems to be pretty durable and before he took it, people liked stacking and re-stacking them. Love it!

Not only did it take a small eternity to arrive almost everything was broken. I wouldnt recommend it

So, the 1/12 scale CMU and the 1/12 scale brick are as close to perfectly scaled as you can get for actual sizes. The problem is, you’re never going to use mortar so they don’t reflect nominal size. 3 courses of brick (vertically) should be 1 CMU course but without mortar joints it’s off a bit. Same on length. 2 bricks should be 1 CMU. So using these as a tiny teaching tool doesn’t quite work. But they are awfully cute.

They are just like the real thing. They also are durable. I got for my son to play with, and although he never used them for the intended purpose, he put them through the ringer and they stood up to some hard playing. Theyve been dumped, ran over by monster trucks and shaken and rattled in the toy box and still held together.
