I bought to my kids a NeoCube, a NanoDots and a CyberCube. Since they have different colors, it is easy to identify every piece.
It is quite clear that NeoCube has weaker magnets. This might be an advantage for beginners, but increases the chances of loosing pieces.
The facts are:
1. Neocube is the cheapest, but is also the poorest. The package is awful;
2. NanoDots are by fair the most expensive (and don't offer a real reason for that);
3. CyberCube seems to be the best balance: high quality (similar to NanoDotz) and low price (a little more than NeoCube).
Finally, I stress that this kind of puzzle has a huge educational value. My 12 year son has spent hors with them and I do prefer like that instead of videogames or TV. This kind of toy is very useful for the development of creativity and catches the attention of every one (including me).

I have been watching this toy as a friend of mine talked about it on facebook. Since I wanted Bucky Balls, this Nano Dots was new to me, but after reviewing the specs, you get more of them with the Nano Dots. I was surprised that the package was small when it arrived, but they are really a lot of fun and something you can add to as time goes on--

First of all it's not a Nanodots Element 236 edition as it says it's Nanodots Element 216
Second when I started counting them 3 times they look like 214 not 216
