Are the pieces in this set the heavier pieces, with strong magnets, or are they the thinner ones?

They are definitely sturdy and the magnets are strong enough to stick shapes to the fridge.

Well, it's the only Magformers set I have, so I cannot be sure what type these are. They are not heavy but the magnets are strong. I believe, these are the thinner ones.

The construction of the pieces seem very durable and safe. The magnets are strong enough to construct things laid out on a flat surface and by picking up the center piece slowly the item you were construction takes form. We built cars and buildings. I don't know what heaver ones look like but the pieces in our set are about !/4 inch wide. They were well thought out in the design. I was impressed with the product. Hope I helped you out with this answer.

I do not understand the question. I have purchased 8 different sets of Magformers and they are all the same thickness. All the pieces from the varied sets fit together perfectly. Perhaps you have purchased some other brand or perhaps there was a different version of Magformers prior to my purchasing them (approximately two years ago). Sorry I could not be of more help.

I think the pieces are the same. It's a wonderful gift. I buy a set for our great grandson every Christmas. They keep him entertained for hours creating things.

The animal magnets are heavy and sturdy. Very very nice. My grand daughter loves them!

The magnets are stronger than I expected. I have mine holding up a birthday card on the fridge and haven't had any issues with it falling or sliding off.

They are steel, got them for my wife's desk top and grandkids play with them with no problems.

The pieces are pretty big. We love Melissa and Doug products. We would definitely buy them again

They are good quality, but the pieces are smaller than the older design (I have both). I think the best way to describe is medium weight.

these are magnetic and stick together, so far I have not had a problem with my jewelery falling off. I use them on my costume jewlery. If it's a valuable piece I would order the larger magnetic locks. I have ordered a few that are flat and about the size of a dime. They hold very well and have larger magnets, and are stronger.

Yes, these cars have a pretty strong magnets. They will stay on the track. This set comes with a tri-powerpack, for beginners on up. Enjoy your set!!!!

children from ages 5- adult enjoy making shapes with this magnetic set. The difference is the complexity of the design, from very simple ,exploring the magnetism and architectural structures when older.

I am not familiar with the magnetic brand, the pieces are not large in this kit. The round pieces are about the size of a pea or just slightly smaller

I don't believe they are magnetic but there are two metal pieces that rest on each other

They are weighted. Are they solid? That's a good question. They are not cheaply made, I'm happy with the set. I've seen more expensive that I didn't like as much.

I am not exactly sure "how thick" the pieces are ...but I can say they are what I would consider nice/heavy-duty pieces. I bought this for my in-laws and it covers an average size card table. I loved the quality of this puzzle. You won't be disappointed. It is well worth the money!

The magnets are really strong. I've had mine about 4 months and it's fine so far.

I don't really know how to respond to that without being objective but I would say that they have their weight to them without being too heavy. (And with this I am referring to the larger pieces.) I would tell you that if you are interested in this set, I've owned mine for 8 months now and they still look brand new and I use these pretty much every day. Hope this helps.

Yes. They are not heavy, but (in my opinion) the pieces feel solid and have a nice weight to them.

These are magnetic, allowing the child to place them with less difficulty. There are two levels. Level One has the outline of the correct piece. Level Two does not. The pieces are much thicker (they may be larger as well). The case makes this very travel friendly.
