Are these JUST AS GOOD as Magna Tiles?

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

I own two sets of magna tiles and now just purchased this set of magnetinc stick and stack. The magna tiles are a little more strong and more durable. But i love all of the dif shapes that this set comes with.

Yes. They are fine. The only ones you shouldn't get are the ones with the wheels - they are very hard to fit in, sometimes don't fit at all.

Yes! Having built with both, I cannot tell the difference. I weighed the pros and cons and took a chance and am glad I bought them. My kids 3 and 6 love them. You get more and the cost is less and the quality the same.

I have a set of these and a set of manga tiles. These are a little thinner and the magenta are slightly less powerful, but for the price they're fantastic! I would highly recommend these and buy them again.

My 2,3 and 5 yr old grandsons love them all! I gave the first set with just the tiles.. then added set with wheels later on....they love them. I highly recommend these tiles!

I have tile everywhere except the bedrooms, but the disks are padded well and they glide easily over the tile. If I had wood floors, I would feel comfortable using these.

Personally, I would buy as many as your budget allows. My two kids have had these for about 5 years now, and we have collected over 200 pieces. I don't know how old your child is, but kids build larger and more complex structures as they get older!! They still love the magna tiles even at age 7 and 5!!

i had to buy them by the case. Keep the extras as replacements in case you get a roof leak or someone punches a hole in the ceiling.They are very good tiles. The price/availability is nice too.

The tiles actually stay together really well, and I haven't really had any sliding issues at all on either carpet or smooth concrete, so you should be fine. The only thing is that you get a bit less than you expect for the price. I'd measure how much surface area you want covered first, and compare with their measurements.

I have these and I have them on my 4" ceramic tiles and they stick like gorilla glue! Once you lift up on the levers, it'll be easy to remove and move with you if you move but mine are stuck there tight as long as I leave the levers down. I would say it'll be perfect for your son!

I think they are pretty much the same. I have girls and boys, so I went with Magformers because we like the sets that have wheels and I couldn't find that with magna tiles, though maybe they make them now, I'm not sure. The sets are small, but if you get a few and add them together, they are like magic. My parents just gave a big set to them for Christmas because no matter how many we get, they keep building bigger creations and want more. My kids (ages 3 - 10) love them and when friends come, they usually run right for the Magformers.

I purchased the first set for my grand daughter two years ago when she was 3.5. I have since purchased two more sets, one for her 5th birthday and another for her 6th birthday (she needed more so she could build a whole city). The tiles are also enjoyed by her now 4 year old sister and 21 month old brother. None have broken and none of the magnets have come out.

We have never worked with Magnatiles. You won't be sorry that you bought Magformers, and we know they work well with other sets of Magformers. Magformers are the most fun toy we have ever seen the children playing with, and the adults enjoy them as much as the children do. We love the geometric designs and formations that are created. The Magformers don't just entertain, they teach as well.

They are ceramic very durable. I have bought sets for 3 of my grandchildren, two sets for me, and a set for a senior center. Of course of different denominations. I like the 12 tile count but some prefer the 9 for a shorter game. I love this game and bought the plastic trains for markers.

Hello Linda,Magna-Tiles do not come with a storage container however we recommend any bin/container that you may have around your home. They stack easily to fit compactly and make for fun/easy clean up! Please visit www.magnatiles.com for more information! Thank you, The Valtech Team

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.

Magnatiles and Magformers are not compatible. We have both types and prefer Magformers, hands down. It's a good investment.

Yes, I have a daycare center and they mix well with the magna tiles. They are a big hit with all of the children

We have both Magnatiles and Magformers. The magnets do NOT line up. If I recall correctly, the Magformer shapes like squares and triangles are slightly smaller than their Magnatiles counterparts, and the bigger Magformers shapes have different magnet placement than on the Magnatiles. (But the Magformer magnets are much stronger!)
