What's the difference between this set and the 700 piece set, besides the number of pieces? Are the two sets compatible? Can you mix and match them or

I don't own the 700 piece set, so my only assumption can be that the latter just has more parts. As to compatible, AFAIK ALL K'NEX packages are compatible. We've used these pieces with others from a roller coaster set we bought as well with no issue at all.

The difference can be the color. An example is, I saw an F16 online and was trying to build it and it kept asking for a grey piece and it was actually purple in my 700 piece set which was confusing when all the parts were dumped out. My advice, have so Ziploc bags to separate your pieces. Since bike wheels are not in my kit, I plan to get one or two of this set soon but waiting for a little price drop.

Yes you can mix and match but they come with these little cardboard pieces and none of them will stay together unless u use the little cardboard pieces personally I thought it was a rip off cuz they should stay together themselves without having to use the cardboard pieces. My advice don't buy waste of money

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.

Yes indeed! You can mix and match all of these sets. In fact, they are putting out some pretty cool sets that move (like cars, trucks, etc.)

I do not understand what you are asking. If you want to compare this set to others - - you would need to specify which other sets you want to compare and not just their prices.

Sky mall is probably saying that the 4 pieces is two sets. I would go with. Amazon

2 kits could come from different batches so there's no guarantee they'd make a matched set. Generally you only need to match DIMMs within a given channel, though, unless you're doing something special, which it sounds like you might be doing. Otherwise as long as all the DIMMs have the same timing, you should get the same results even from unmatched sets.

You just use the expansion set cards. They are larger and easier to work with, so mixing them would be a bit counter productive.

no, you can not mix match them. and i am fine with the black and yellow ones. but the blue one is not working. I think the quality is not very good.

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.

I believe that the pieces are interchangeable. I purchased this piece and it worked well.

Yes they are I have both sets and use them together the only difference is color

I think the main difference is the 20 piece set style is a bit better quality; it's shatter-proof and tempered glass. I wouldn't buy them on amazon though...if you can, costco is a better option. I got my 20 piece set for around $35 there.

My son has both the 100 piece set and the 48 piece DX set and they complement one another perfectly. The 48 piece set has some different pieces such as: a large square with a door built in, an arch way, two little rings, and a flat bed with 4 wheels to build up as a car, trailer or other creative ideas. I think it would be worth getting him the other set if he loves playing with them already as it will give him a little more variety.

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.

If you want to guarantee compatibility 100% then it's best to buy matched sets. However, what you plan to do will work most of the time as long as you get the same speed and timings.
