Magnetix are a great product. I agree with others about the ratio of balls to sticks but overall it's great. A super item to have around when your child isn't feeling well. Give him/her a tray with some magnetix and they get a good rest and have fun at the same time!

I received a 70-piece Silver Magnetix building set for Christmas. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying two more similar sets so I could build bigger structures. I've always enjoyed magnets and building things... so when you put the two together I am sure to like it.

Another thing nice about the Magnetix building sets is that once you take your stuctures apart they don't take up much room. I have three 70 piece sets (126 rods & 84 balls) stored in a 3x5 index card containter.

My son loves these as he can use his imagination to make all kinds of designs. He's made space ships, airplanes, buildings, shapes, vehicles, etc. He's had a great time with this set. I bought some cheaper generic brands but was not as pleased with them.

The chrome-like set for the MAGNETIX system is a construction activity based on combining steel balls and magnetic rods (these limited to the metal colored design), joined together to create whatever shapes and objects you can think up. The play is limited to which expansion set you have, the 70 pc. is an ok SET, but it lacks any structural aids like the wall shapes or the longer flexible attachments. I would also like to see some hint/idea books included in the sets, the only books that came with this set was offers for other expansion sets (which Do look neat, but still).

All-in-all a fun time can be had with a couple of set variants. Some of the variants are hard to find like the "Glow-in-the-dark" set.

System could easily transfer nicely to the classroom, for math and science projects building models. Having children construct square, triangle and other shapes or using MAGNETIC x-treme for more architecturally directed play linking and locking assembly connectors.

Does contain small chrome parts that present a choking hazzard for children under-3 yrs.

This product cracks and falls apart. Geomags are superior quality.

Some safety concerns if there is a small child in the household. I don't think I will be buying this.
