I have to add to these fantastic reviews. My boys just love, love, love these magnets. We previously had two sets of the Discovery Kids magnets so I already had an idea that they would like other magnets. I was just looking for more interesting shapes and ways to create with magnets - this set is exactly what I wanted. In fact, I will be expanding on this set this Christmas. I'm hoping to add some of the "super" shapes to their set this year.
Background: purchased this set Christmas 2013 for my twin boys who were then 5 and have special needs and my then 3 year old son. This is the kind of gift every parent hopes to find each Christmas - the one the kids open and are giddy with excitement to break it open and start playing!
The set comes with a great assortment of shapes to make a variety of interesting things. I think the magnets are quite strong and hold their 3-D shape when assembled. My boys love making tunnels and garages for their Matchbox cars.
What I really like about these magnets is that they never seem to tire of playing with them. I don't think more than 1 full day goes by that they don't break these out and build something. Therefore I feel they were totally worth the hefty pricetag.
In terms of durability, I couldn't be happier. Three boys have well-loved them for a year, building and breaking many interesting structures. We had one casualty, which was unfortunately one of the pentagons that is the cornerstone of several of the more complex structures. But considering the use, I am fine with that. And one of my SN boys is particularly hard on toys. He always wants to disassemble things and see what makes them tick. He has tried to take these apart without success. If they can survive the DS-test, I consider them a win!
My only criticism is that I wish the diagram booklet had more suggestions. But I guess that's what little imaginations are for!
If you have a little engineer in your household, I highly recommend Magformers and this set, in particular, for the flexibility and value it offers.

Great set!
We already had a 26 piece set given to us when my oldest turned 2yrs old. We put that set in a little bag and take it with us on trips and when we go out to eat and it always keeps her entertained. I bought this set so that we could build larger/more things at home, now that she's starting to build shapes rather than just stack, unstack, and color sort them. The die are kind of cool because if you're gentle, you can roll them without them falling apart. We'll see how my 2yr old does with them. It might be fun to have her practice her counting and eventually addition using the dots on the die. The wheels and the vehicle pieces are cool. The pieces are the same size as the basic ones, but have a metallic-esque look to them. Some of the designs in the book provided assume you also have the carnival set, but most of the designs can be made with this set. I've already mixed in the 26 pieces from our original set with these, so the picture is using all 144+26 pieces. We've played with other magnet tiles brands during playdates and I like the quality of these. The edges are rounder and despite occasional nomming by my 11mo old, these have shown zero wear over the past 10 months. They're very resilient and don't show scratches like some of the solid pieces in other brands. It is also much easier to separate these from each other when they're stacked than the solid tiles. Definitely recommend them!

I almost bought the huge 300 piece set until I saw all the teeny tiny little pieces that come with it and knew my toddler would either lose them or they just wouldn't get used because we didn't know how to use them. So this set solved that. It has the magnetic pieces in a few different shapes, and it has a set of wheels (which my son absolutely LOVES), so its still considered a basic set, but it has an abundant number of pieces to work with.
I have also seen Magnatiles compared to these and MUCH prefer these! I just felt like the Magnatiles weren't as heavy duty as these, they didn't seem as big, and I didn't like that they were enclosed (these are open shapes) and we love to be able to put things inside the cube or pyramid or whatever he decides to build. Magnatiles are cute and look like stained glass windows, but we found these to be much more user friendly for my family.
We absolutely LOVE these!

These are THE BEST building sets EVER! I received a small 26 piece set about 8-9 months ago and my 2.5 year old has played with them *almost* every day since we got them. They are SO MUCH FUN. The pieces themselves are really strong, sturdy, good sized, and has strong enough magnets to build easily, but to take apart pretty easily too. We have made all kinds of awesome things with these and this set REALLY delivers the fun! There are the perfect amount of pieces to build anything your little heart desires, but not so many that you are overwhelmed.Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2015
