I previously bought two of the regular sets of this product. When I saw that they have "bendable" units in the Master Builder 89 piece package I was so excited as were my children. I was VERY, VERY disappointed upon opening this package only to find out that there is ONE bendable link! SO not worth the money to get this ONE link. My advice, save your money and buy the cheaper version because this was an absolute rip off and misleading ploy. Guidecraft should offer a real master builder set and include at least a dozen bendable links. That would make the price and product reasonable.

The pieces for this Magneatos Jumbo Builder (89 pcs) are nice and large, no small pieces, no small loose magnets therefore no swallowing hazard. The magnets are inside the sturdy plastic pieces. My two grandchildren (3 and 5)have been entertained for hours by this set. Definately a nice gift for families or gramma's house.

This is a great toy. I bought this for my 2&half year old grandson . My daughter told me he is always playing with these when she picks him up at daycare. I bought the jumbo ones for him and the regular ones for my 4 yr old grandson.

Has very few of the magnetos themselves. Most of the 89 pieces are clips. Description should be more precise.

We purchased these for our 2 yr old daughter (or so I thought). I'm not sure who loves them more - my daughter or my husband! They can be used to create so many different things. We ended up ordering some of the jumbo curved magneatos and another smaller box of the jumbo straight magneatos. The magnets are screwed in so there is no chance of them swallowing one. They are easy for little hands to handle and they fall spectacularly when it's time to destroy the creation!

I bought these for my nephew for Christmas, and I wish I could see him playing with them and see the toys in person. But from what I have been told by his mother, he loves them. He is only 2.5 y/o but these are already teaching him about magnatism(sp, sorry, as he has been testing everything in the house to see if it sicks or not (Daddy's head is not magnetic). He has been playing with them on a daily basis, so as Auntie, I am very pleased with my purchase, now as Mommy, I'm thinking of getting a set for my daughter.

What i like/love!... the pieces are large enough my grand son can not even fit into his mouth...let alone swallow anything...the peices are extremely durable and well made... will last a long time
What i do not like... magnets are weak

We bought this for our three-year-old son for Christmas. It kept him occupied in the beginning but he has almost never returned to it. The pieces are too chunky and magnets too weak to build upwards as small children tend to do. If you want a building block type toy, I would stick with the classics.

First saw this product in a children's art lab at an art museum and knew it would be great for my two year old grandson. Imagination is the key here. Because it is magnetic, you don't have a million loose parts all over the house. Also, it can grow with the child...can be enjoyed by all ages. Very durable, colorful, and easy to handle.

My 3 year old grandson really enjoys constructing things with these. I will buy more to add to the set.Being magnetic they are easy to use and the pieces are not too small so that they do not get lost easily or pose a danger to younger siblings.
