I would like to know the true answer to this question as well. Only thing I can think of is that kids love them SO much, they decided to make them super expensive for what you're getting so as to make a huge profit margin. I mean, seriously? $1.20 PER TILE?? Seems ridiculous to me. The cheapest per unit alternative I've found is the 100 pc set by Playmags. Even that seems incredibly steep for me at $90... That's most of my budget for Xmas. It's a shame they make them so spendy.... So many more kids could be enjoying them. Any comment on this topic, Magna-Tiles reps?

I have learner, standard, and jumbo sets. The only difference between the sets is the number of blocks and the number and size of the plastic windows. There are no 8x8 blocks in any of the sets - there are 4x4 blocks and 4x8 blocks. Sets with more blocks come with more, and larger, windows. Hope this helps.

You may want to start with a basic set but with sufficient pieces to build different structures. For 2 of them, probably the 62 pc set may work.

The 550 is 30000:1, The 650 is 50000:1 There is a big difference in PQ of these two sets.The 650 being better.

I see what you mean, I think they are coming up with that number by using the shipping weight of 35.4 lbs instead of the 32 lb of product only. I don't know why they do that. Overall, it's a good price vs. the 100 load smaller container so that's something to think about.

If you can afford it, the 100 piece set is a better value. My grandson received the 100 piece set from his other grandparents for his birthday and I added the 32 piece set for Christmas and will continue to add so there is plenty to "share" when his sister is old enough.

Mr. Scholten,Since you represent the mfr, may I suggest you work with Amazon to present this information on the listings for each product. I thought that the 110 might be a replacement for the 100. Your comment explained the single difference.

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

The Magna tiles are a bit heavier but IMO they are better because of the value. They work just fine with Magna tiles too.

James - I'm not sure why there is a difference in listing, but coming from someone who played with different sets in different countries, any difference this set has from Wikipedia's description is negligible and won't affect the gameplay at all.

Thank you for your inquiry. I apologize, I do not show that we are currently offering the set of 120 through Amazon.

Magnatiles had some flooding at their plant and production has just been gearing back up with products returning to stores. However, during the "shortage" there was a lot of gouging going on with retailers charging many times the normal price. Normal cost for 100 magna tiles is $120. Before the plant problems I bought them at $110, but haven't seen that price since. If you look around you should be able to find an online source at $120/100 tiles. (I'm about to purchase two sets at that price plus $10 shipping). Prices higher than $120 indicate a retailer that is taking advantage of the temporary low stock to make a larger profit.

I don't see the $157.60 set on Amazon. The only difference between the $66.89 and the $88.50 sets that I can see is that the $88.50 comes with the combo rack and pusher. I had to buy the pushers separately and they cost around $20 with shipping. Otherwise, the $66.89 set just has racks, no pushers. I hope this helps, Josephine.

The 6000 isn't made anymore. The elevated price is due to the fact that there is a limited supply. The most notable difference is that the 6000 has dedicated function keys (see the top row), while the T9T-00001 requires you to hold the Fn key to "activate" the function keys. That's a deal breaker for some as explained in the reviews below.

I have NOT used a 100. My educated "guess" would be, owing to the feature set in particular (SBM, et al) that the edge would go to the newer, slightly "beefier" 100. That being said, I'm not sure that in a familiar environment, under ideal conditions, anybody would find telling the two apart would be particularly easy. It's an equivocal attempt at an answer, but I suspect the real question is "Is the 100 worth difference in price?" Only you can divine that answer for yourself. Shop carefully, don't pull the trigger on anything that does not have a generous return option and (if possible) audition them side by side.....

It's an old marketing trick -- it sets a floor price in your mind. Your are stuck evaluating the $100 difference and the $399 (original) price doesn't seem quite as bad. So, you buy the baseline product and think you saved $100.
