The box shows two pictures of each shape - it appears some are notched along the side? Can you explain how the pieces differ from each other?

they do look like notches, but it is just part of the magnet. The only way they are different is how they look. Awesome set for the 5 year old boy it was purchased for.

There are certain pieces that are made specifically with notches to make the cars displayed on the box. They have special magnets that attach to the wheel base. The tiles in question can still attach to the others in the set but they are not as strong. My kids are still young and have not yet figured out how to build the cars on the box. They use those tiles along with the others for building projects.

When I look in side mine, it also looks U shaped. They are separate. They all go in one at a time. Not as one unit. Hope this helps.... Cat

The previous answer is correct. Since each piece is staggered vertically, the object does look a little longer than it is but only by an inch or so.

I'm not certain what you mean, but it does have edges that puzzle-piece together and individual hex pieces. Do you have a frame of reference of what the original pieces looked like? This is the first set (other than Family Edition) that I have ever owned.

Not all the pieces are the same size, some are smaller and some larger. However, there are no straight sided pieces (except the edge) or ones that are half-way in-between the adjacent pieces. So even though some of the pieces are a little unusual, I didn't find them so weird that it made it hard to put together. All pieces interlocked in some way with at least two of the neighboring pieces.

The picture is a tad distorted here is a another photo I found http://tinyurl.com/lqpzyxy

There are different shapes, including a wheeled car base, and an arch. Also, while the same size & shape as the triangles & squares in the 100 piece set, some of them have holes in them which make for great windows. There are also 2 circular pieces. Not perfect circles, one side is flat so that they will line up properly with the other straight-sided pieces.

yes all [pieces have interlocking borders, two edges are "punched out" interlocking border, the other two edges on each one the edge appears straight(flat) till you punch it out.

You can cut the pieces to fit your wall or slide one over the other, there are ends, section joiners and a corner. Look at the other pictures to get a better idea of what is there.

The plates are round, but all the pieces (except the cups) have a slightly irregular shape. The bowls are in fact somewhat oval shaped rather than perfectly round. I happen to like the irregularity, while my husband calls them "misshapen".

If you look at the bottom left corner of the picture and make a 3 x 3 square - those are the 9 that I received. However, I think it's random so you might not receive the same ones.

Unfortunately I don't fully remember - but I do know that it was a flat box. So I do not remember it being much larger than the width and height of those 2 side pieces. The rest were all smaller pieces that you screwed together. This continues to be a favorite played with every day at my house, so it's definitely worth it if you decide to buy!

It looks like the top of the headboards differ. One is rounded, the other is squared off.

They are two pieces, but there is a screen mesh that zips the two together after putting up the two pieces.

One side has a nice covering and the other is black and hard. It's self explanatory once it comes out of the packaging.

Hello it really doesnt bother us because we look at it as pieces of puzzles put together. We love what we bought. With regards to the space in between the pictures, we put like an inch of space in between but that would all depend on how you wanna do it.

Yes, all the pieces have interlocing borders. There are also slim edge pieces that interlock to the large pieces and have flat edges on one side.
