Magnetix 250 Count - Metallic

Magnetix is a great toy for kids who are at the age when you are sure they (or younger siblings) are not going to put them in their mouth. I got this for my daughter as a birthday present because she had previously aquired a set of about 15 pcs. from a rummage sale- and didn't put them down all summer. She now spends hours building homes for her little toys, rocket ships, etc. I am considering buying more add-on sets with specialty parts. The onlly bad thing about these is that if you build something too tall or large, the weight pulls it down and the magnets cause it to collapse in on itself. That's a little disappointing, but still worth it- She loves them.

Our kids received a set of 100 a year ago and my husband has as much, if not more, fun creating many static and moving designs. I bought this 250 piece set for him this year and he just LOVES it! Also bought a kit with helix corner pieces which makes for really different designs. Highly recommended!

Bought this for my 8 year old grandson's birthday gift. He loves it! He spends hours creating and constructing.

Glad I bought these before the Feds banned them over some parents being to stupid to keep their young children from eating them. Thank you for saving me again .gov....

Great educational toy.

Very happy with the purchase and with the how nice it is to have something to lead the kids to use their imagination....

My kids love the magnetix - boys ages 7 and 9 play with them all the time.

If I had known what 250 pieces actually looks like and what can be built, I'm not sure I would have bought this product at that price! It comes in this huge box and along with the packaging it does lend itself to pretty high expectations. On Christmas day when I saw how much it actually was, I wasn't too happy. True, it's actually 250 pieces but please be warned: you may be disappointed if you think that's a whole lot.
