are the triangles and squared in this set the same size as the other standard magformers sets? I'm confused by the XL.

Yes, the triangles and squares are the same size as in the other Magformer sets. The two new hexagon shapes are larger but they all work well together.

Soorry, I bought this as a gift for my grandson who already had had magformers before. I thought they were consistent with his other ones. I hope someone can steer you right.

I never bought another set, my understanding was the XL refers to the fact that there are 30 pieces in the set? But I could be wrong, sorry! My 3 year old nephew loves this set!

Sorry - I just now saw this. No, they are roughly the same size. They might even be a teeny bit smaller in SUPER BIG BOGGLE

I have an Epson XP620 - so I don't know if the model makes any difference. The XL used in conjunction with the correct cartridge only means that there is more ink and will make more copies than the standard ink cartridge. I have only used 1 set of the Printer-Mate cartridges and so far they seem fine. I hope this answers your question. Just remember the "XL" only stands for more ink in the cartridge.

i just ordered a set on 8/5/2015 and they say on packaging fits m&p; including shield and .22 models. my guess is they did away with the slightly larger size and now they are this size.

I am trying to find this information out as well. The only difference I have seen so far is this set is 1" wider than the other set, and that was by reading comments.

The actual Magformers website is having a sale on their 34 piece set for only $24.99. It is offered in a red and blue set or a green and purple set. I just clicked on the "shop" button and scrolled over until I found them. Flat rate shipping is $5.95 and then free after $100. I picked up a couple sets to give as Christmas gifts to my nephews that LOVE them (5 & 7). Zulily.com is having a sale on them today too.

This seems to smaller than the standard six.....I kinda like that too. I would recommend this guy. Your question made me unwrap this thing, and I'm sorry I didn't use it yet.The best ones however seem to be the cheapies that I have all over the house at 10 or so for 5 bucks from China.!!!

yes. Based on my minimal research of the *new* 3ds, they appear to be the same if not smaller than the current 3ds and xl.

I gave them to some friends, and I'm not familiar with the Magnetix brand, so I my answer is, "I don'tknow." However, they seemed almost the same as a set that I have (unknown brand bought 10 or so yearsago), i.e., steel balls and "sticks" with N-S ends.

No you can't. They don't work together at all. We had a set of Magna Tiles and a set of Magformers and we ended up selling the Manga Tiles and buying more Magformers because they were 100% incompatible.

I honestly don't know because we don't own any magnatiles. I personally wouldn't mix them because I doubt that the shapes and sizes are exactly the same.

What do you mean? I can go and measure it for you, but it does fit fine with the previous sets. Set quality has gone down since they moved production to China, though. I was surprised when they moved production and saddened by it for humanitarian reasons. They responded personally in emails to address my concerns with the treatment of their Chinese workers, but they "couldn't" provide me with pictures of their factories to back up claims of just conditions, so i will likely not order any more of their set for that reason. We have 4 of the sets.

Yes, they are XL! The physical size of the cartridges are the same and non-XL. It's just the amount of ink that they fill in them that determines them XL. This goes the same as the OEM Epson XL cartridges. I have bought those as well- they are the same physical size as the regular cartridges, just more ink.

Let me know how it turns out!Chloe, I'm using this converter in the Parker Urban. Most of these are standard in size and shape. I've seen the Vector but I'm not familiar with it. It looks like it uses cartridges that are about 3" long and they are about the same length as the converter. I buy from Goulet Pens all the time and they are a Parker dealer with GREAT customer service. Try their question page or call them on the number shown. http://www.gouletpens.com/articles.asp?ID=83 - I just emailed Brian, the owner with your question and I'll let you know what he says, or try the link.

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.

I don't know for certain that they are the same material. They are a lot smaller in length and are made for the Twist-erase pencils.

Don't know for sure but I doubt it. They both have magnets and the Magformers allow for some very creative applications so there might be some compatiblity, but they are more competitors than complimenters.
