2.0 out of 5 stars Magnetic fall out, August 7, 2005

This review is from: Magnetix 60 Count - Extenders (Toy)

When we first got the Magnetix extender set my children loved them. Then after a couple of months of building, the magnetics starting coming out of the extenders, rendering the set unusable. I tried to super glue them back in with no luck. In my opinion, Magnetix are a bit on the pricey but I didnt mind paying the extra especially since my kids loved them and played with them often. However, they are definitely not worth the money when they fall apart.

We also have the regular Magnetix set and we havent had a problem with the magnetics coming out of them.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Magnetix 60 Count - Extenders (Toy)

I got this for my birthday because I like Magnetix. The inside was nice. The balls were cyrstal clear. I rated this as 4 stars because you have quite a high chance of losing your balls. When my sister got a set. She lost one ball. All my magnetix sets, I haven't lost a single ball.
