I get a kick out of making things and thought that this would be a fun little toy I could stick on my desk and fool around with.

It is, it's fun and for the price decently made. I got it today and messed around with it for about three hours before I realized how much time had passed.

This product got four stars for two reasons or it would have gotten 5.

One, the design booklet... there was no point for it, the instructions weren't clear nor did I have enough pieces to make the 'two' designs in the booklet that my set was capable of, other than being a little disappointed I didn't mind, my mind it good enough to have fun with them.

The second is the more important one. When trying to build things like a ball or what they show on the cover pictures you see here, the sticks aren't long enough to fully 'stick' it all together which was annoying, RoseArt needs to redesign the lengths or they need to put some sizes in to let them come together to make the shape.

Over all a four, it's fun to play with. If it had come together in the shapes they show completely, it would have gotten a 5.

Despite all the recent happenings with recalling magnetix because a little boy died after ingesting them...I would still buy this set again anyday for my kids!!

It says ages 3 AND UP FOR A REASON! The plastic pieces may fall apart but we've had ours for 4 months and my kids play with them non-stop and we've NEVER had a problem with the magnents falling out. But these are not plastic they are metal and they do not fall apart like the plastic ones.

If you do not think your kids are old enough to not put something in their mouths then do not buy this product. But I have a 3 and 5 year old that love their set more than anything else in the house!!

Just know that "70" pieces includes all the silver balls. I paid like 30 bucks for alot of silver balls and maybe 25 or so attaching pieces. My son was kinda bummed.

They are better than legos for my kid. He plays with this toy more that any other we have purchased for him. Great to see him use his mind to build new shapes.

These things are addictive, innovative and will keep a child or adult entertained for hours.

There is no end to what you can make with them.

Warning though, keep them away from pets. Especially small animals. if they swallow them, they may not "pass through naturally"

As for danger to kids. Pretty much any toy can pose a hazard if misused, or if the child is not old enough or responsible enough to follow directions. I think the recall was an over-reaction to a child dying that should NOT have been playing with these unsupervised. I am not minimizing the tragic incident. I just think that there was more to the story....
