In comparison with GeoMag or Magnetix, Magz have by far the weakest magnets, and the material quality is inferior as well. Don't get me wrong, these may be fun, but your money would be better spent on one of the other products. They have a different scale as well. I won't return them, I would like to end up owning some of each of them to find out just which ones are best. To this point GeoMag are the strongest, but the difference between them and Magnetix are not enough to worry about, but Magz may not even have half the magnet strength as the other two. If you want one of each brand, give this a try, if you are looking for a great product, GeoMag or Magnetix will be a better purchase.


Edit:

GeoMag rods will hold up to 6 consecutive steel balls
Magnetix will hold up to 4 consecutive steel balls
Magz will hold 3 consecutive steel balls

I bought this for my 10 year old nephew for Christmas and he absolutely loved it! It was the first toy he played with and he is still enjoying it.

I ordered this toy in order that my 7 years old son could improve his imaginagation. I think that this toy succeds in this mission. The only thing that is unfavorable is that it has not enough pieces. you have to order two or more to build sensible objects.
