MIAMI--([ ])--BUILDABLOCK CORP. (OTCBB: BABL), (aBuildablocka or the aCompanya), today announced that it will launch a test version of its website and mobile app on September 21, 2012 intended to provide essential technical and user feedback to finalize its systems and procedures. The launch will include high level interactivity between consumers and merchants so as to provide the Company with key feedback metrics in preparation for introduction of a fully robust website platform to the general public. The final launch date for the Buildablock website and mobile app is scheduled for release later this year in advance of the yearas major holiday buying season.

"We will utilize feedback from the launch in the spirit of enlisting both consumers and merchants to assist us to shape a unique experience that bridges both physical and online shopping and that optimizes retail transactions."

The test abetaa launch will be a full capabilities website assessment as Buildablock-sponsored users will utilize all aspects of the Companyas block purchasing e-commerce model. This will include a range of virtual product transactions, the transmittal of awinksa - the process by which a user adds an item to the site, consumer and merchant profile data, the integration of social networking capabilities, and merchant deployment processes. The end-to-end testing will result in a thorough analysis of real-time logistics and the implementation of automatic solution mechanisms so as to enable a seamless website launch to the general public and rapid consumer and merchant adoption.

During the simulated shopping experience, consumers will look for products already posted on the test website as well as download photos of products they would like to purchase on a discounted basis. They will then use the Buildablock platform to join in with other consumers to bid directly through the site itself. Buildablock quickly and automatically negotiates a discount with the retailer on behalf of consumers that will result in consumer transactions. The testing will include the extensive analysis of Buildablockas mobile phone app which is a key to its core capabilities as it is intended to leverage location-based physical shopping experiences.

The intent of the beta launch is also to determine those features that are most preferred by both consumers and merchants, develop new ideas that result organically during the testing process and develop an enriched platform based on multi-constituent feedback. The Company will continue with its ongoing marketing campaign in coordination with the beta launch so as to build momentum towards its live launch and national roll-out of its unique e-commerce platform.
