FAQs

How much do the big block sets cost?

MoPA is now ranging block sets that are more affordable than all international alternatives; with sets varying in price from $6,000 to $22,000.

The main variables in cost are the set size (a small set contains 60 blocks, whereas a large set contains 120), the colours and shapes you wish to include (a range of standard shapes and colours is available, however we also produce set with custom colours and even shapes) and your location (the sets are shipped from capital cities, Australia-wide, and typically require 2 to 4 pallets).

Can I use big blocks outdoors?

Absolutely, yes. The raw materials used to create our block sets are carefully selected and tested to ensure that they are lightweight and safe, but also incredibly resistant to wear, weather and cleaning. Leaving the blocks exposed to weather and UV at all times will shorten their life-span, though some of our customers have been using our block sets outdoors for many years now!

Are big blocks safe for toddlers?

Yes. Adult supervision is always recommended, however the foam used to create our blocks is soft, lightweight, non-toxic, and sized to prevent choking hazards. Most of the blocks are sized at approximately 30cm x 30cm and weigh approximately 1-2kg each.

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes, our blue block sets are shipped all over Australia. We offer free or flat-rate shipping depending on your location and order size.
