Summary: create a world
Comment: I purchased this along with 2 other kits that expanded the collection - and was very pleased. My son - a teen - has always enjoyed legos and I predict will one day be an engineer (because of his love for creating and wanting to know how things work) This Christmas, I wanted to try something a little different - and this toy was it! In a way, it isn't really a "toy" as one would expect, but a way to create anything and everything that your mind could imagine! He loves it, as do the rest of us (we all pull it out now and then) This particular kit comes with a case with a tray at the bottom which allows for building the magnet creations (what a plus - can't lose the pieces) There are a variety of shapes and colors - it's a world of creations! I would just be careful around little kids - as some of the pieces are smaller (mouth-worthy!) Enjoy...we are (oh, and Amazon delivered as promised!!!)

Summary: Defective toy - dangerous!
Comment: This 325-count set contains "curves". We bought a set of curves two years ago for our 5-year old son (Magnetix Translucent Curves with the word "Magnetix" stamped on each link). We also have other children in the home. At this time three of the little magnets have come out. It seems to happen most when we put the curves end to end and the power of one magnet pulled another magnet out from its pocket in another curved piece. Basically, there is nothing holding the magnets in! There is no "lip" and there is no adhesive on each end of the curved piece. The magnets are shaped like small cylinders. I am not talking about the larger balls which are just metal and are not magnets.
And yes, these magnets have awesome power! I put one of the little guys on my finger and another one attracted right through it - from the other side of my finger. Amazing yet scary.
In Washington state recently one toddler died and another pre-schooler almost died - both swallowed multiple magnets from building toys. The key here is "multiple". With more than one magnet, the internal organs got choked off before the mom even realized the child was sick. The toddler's older brother had received a "Magnetix Xtreme Combo" toy two weeks earlier. Here is the link with a video: http://komo1000news.com/stories/42442.htm. Parents, I think we should all beware of any toys with small magnets. If you have a baby or toddler in the home, think about it. Is the added excitement of a "cool toy" worth risking your child's health? From reading the feedback posted out there over the years, it seems like some manufacturers use design and product materials that are poor quality and their magnets fall out a lot.

Summary: Magnetix 325 Count Super Case
Comment: Purchased for my 7 year old. Very good value for the money. Has provided numerous hours of active creative fun for her. Is easy to pick up and store when not in use. Is a great source of imaginitive creative fun for any child. It is also mind stimulating and has been one of the only toys that has held her attention and kept her from being "bored" with the toy.

Summary: be warned think to yourself is that all there is?
Comment: GREAT TOY but, be warned when you open the box you'll think to yourself is that all there is? once your child starts to play you'll be happy. personally know 325pc is not enough for my son and me to both play, so i have to wait till after santa comes to be able to play.

For builders who are ready for something more interesting than blocks, Magnetix construction sets offer an intellectual and innovative way to build awesome 3D sculptures. This X-Treme Combo set presents the ultimate challenge for seasoned Magnetix builders. The case comes fully loaded with an assortment of colored plastic bars, curves, triangles, and squares with opposite polarity magnets on the ends along with a bunch of steel balls to connect the joints. Kids can exercise their creativity to make shapes, structures, vehicles or whatever comes to mind. Magnetix is also a great tool for the classroom: it can be used to form physics and chemistry models and mathematical shapes to enhance the curriculum. This is a fun and challenging toy for both children (starting at about age 6) and adults and provides an excellent family activity that engages all members. The deluxe kit features 325 pieces to make over 500 different designs. For easy storage and transportation, all pieces are neatly packed in trays within a sturdy metal and plastic suitcase. --Cristina Vaamonde
