What's the difference between this and the other more expensive set? http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Be...

I believe the other set is more complex, perhaps for older children. I chose this set for my 2 year old very inquisitive grandson.

I purchased the Melissa & Doug red wooden pan set. Sorry, I don't know which metal set is best.

Actually, this is not sold by Amazon.com. If you read carefully you should notice this: "Availability: In Stock. Ships from and sold by ToyWiz." Remember that when you shop at Amazon, you could being shopping in another store. Price differences is the reason why I never shop from another Amazon store rather than Amazon.com Several weeks ago, Amazon had it in stock and sold it by $39.99.

Looks like the only difference is the price. The set itself looks identical to this. I'd contact the seller if you want to be very thorough though.

I'm pretty sure the toys with sound just cost more. My boys love this one. My mom bought the boys another vehicle that has sound with it and they don't really use the sound feature that much. But they again play with the toy a lot.

I do not know the details because I have not played with both and we do not stock both. You could look call Toysmith, they could perhaps tell you. These are recommended 3 and up so I do not know which would be easier for a one year old.

So the way I looked at it EVERYONE has one (or both) of the other two. Especially the leapfrog one. I didn't think my daughter would use it if she had the same one at daycare and every play date. Also she loves loves balls and still (at 16 months) watches them go down the legs and sings to the songs.This table also has different (new) songs. I find that leapfrog reuses the same songs on everything she has and so does fisher price. I would pay good money for NEW music on toys!! :)

I didn't really pay that much attention. I was buying for so many grandkids. You can find these at Farm & Home stores, probably at Toys R Us, etc. You might go check it out at one of those stores, though you will get it cheaper for sure through Amazon.

The trough on the $34.99 one is a little bigger, as is the actual board itself. However, (in my opinion), the differences between the two products are extremely tiny/insignificant. Plus, I don't think the $34 one comes in other colors besides black.I have bought so many any of these; for my 5-year old as well as for multiple gifts. The cheaper one is definitely the way to go!!

Most of it is the license. Kids identify with Thomas the character. The quality is pretty high with the Thomas set as they are high quality wood. They seem to last a long time compared to other toys. If you don't expect much use and the name doesn't matter, then a $10 cheap set might be the way to go.

It looks like it is cheaper to buy the set. http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Cars-Childrens-Activity-Chair/dp/B00585FUR0/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1421189011&sr=8-17&keywords=cars+folding+chairs&pebp=1421189016219&peasin=B00585FUR0

There is no difference the more expensive one comes with furniture. Whichever you buy it is worth it a wonderful toy!

The kit tells you what kind of wood and how much to buy. In my review I did a break-down of costs. Here's how much I spent when I built it. These prices were from almost 5 years ago, so I'm not sure how accurate they are now.Play set Kit - $130 from Overstock.comlumber - approx. $280 from Lowes10 ft' slide - $160 from Lowessteering wheel accessory - $14 from Lowesbaby swing - approx $20 from Babies R Us.Ground Anchors - approx $20 from HomeDepot.comTotal - Just over $620

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.

I'm not sure why there are different prices. This box has 144 erasers and they are the best erasers my kids and I have found.

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 can't figure it out myself. My son has one, exactly as pictured, and it's a nice toy, but $40 nice not $300 nice. There is absolutely no reason this should be so expensive, unless of course it came with Handy Manny live and in the flesh, and he just appears whenever something around the house is broken and fixes it for you with hassle and at no additional cost.
