Editorial Review

Magnets spur imagination in this building set from leading arts and crafts maker RoseArt. Fun and sharply designed, the set contains a series of brightly colored triangles, squares, and bars equipped with opposite polarity magnets at the tips. Small steel balls enable you to lock the pieces tightly together and assemble them into nearly innumerable arrangements. (RoseArt promises more than 500 possibilities, and provides a booklet suggesting some, including a miniature Eiffel Tower.) The set has 100 pieces and offers wonderful creative opportunities for kids. It comes in a sturdy, handsome, metal carrying case. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

A really cool toy thing
This was the best the things are all magnets and their are little marbles as joint all the things stick together and dont slide around i think that if u were to buy something that this would be the best thing to buy i give it five stars because it is something that u can make many different things and u wont get bored from it i spent hours making cool designs.
TAILS RULES

Lots of fun and you're creative side will enjoy ...
I first got hooked on the commercial for Super Mag which is another brand similar to Magnetixs. I got stuck on the catchy tune from the Super Mag commercial and over the 4th of July weekend I was playing Legos with my neice and when I was a kid I found Legos a lot of fun but now that I'm older they weren't as much of a thrill. I saw a box of the 35 piece Magnetixs on Sale at a local store so I decided to try them out. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to make a bunch of things but the box claims you can make 100 designs. The next day I went out and bought two 70 piece boxs of Magnetixs and it's still not enough to make anything cool. But like the previous review writers it does make time fly so fast. I probably spent about 3-4 hrs. sticking and clicking pieces together. In my opinion they should give you more rods and less metal balls bcuz I run out of the sticks more than I do with the metals ball or better yet create a box with like 300 pieces or something. The price is a little high for these 20-35-70 piece boxes if you ask me but in a way it's sort of worth it even though you don't have too many pieces to play with.

very godd
i have been playing with this toy for a week now and havent put it down. I feel that this toy is very educational because you can make many science shapes out of it and also it helps with the creative mind. i think that the price is quite high and they need to put more parts into a box like 100 or 200 i feel that there are not many parts because on the box it shows a very tall building but i carnt make that because i have to little parts. Also i think it would be a good idea to show how to make all of the 500 shapes it says on the box. There is another toy that is good that is k'nex that is a creative game but i still think magnetix is better. And another suggestion is that they they could put some extra parts in like wheels and different joints.

This set is great fun!
My daughter (8 years old) requested this set for her birthday, and ended up playing with it exclusively the whole day! Her 5 year old cousin loved it also, and they played quietly for hours. Even the adults took turns building something.

The magnets are super strong, and the "creations" don't fall apart. They are easy to clean up, as they all stick together. The pieces are colorful, but I would like a set with more than four colors. I wish the set had more pieces (she got the 70 pc. set) - buying two sets might be a good idea.

Buy plenty
These are great, but buy plenty. I only got a medium set and we can't build anything really cool with them except for shapes. They're incredibly durable, the magnets really hold together. You need about 500 pieces, I think. Not good for very young kids, as they can be swallowed and the balls will roll away. Lots of fun. Good for stressed out adults. A little like the mini zen gardens for relaxation. People start out thinking they'll just mess with these things for a couple minutes and end up spending half an hour or more sticking them together into some weird thing and grinning about their accomplishments. Turns adults into kiddies again. ... Read more

The perfect toy for any child who has interest in building
My 5 year old daughter loves this set. We bought a smaller set for Christmas 2003 when she had just turned 5 and she, I and my husband immediately became addicted. Very few toys can keep a 5 year old's attention for longer than a few minutes, but we would play with these for hours coming up with every combination we could think of. The shape and combination possibilities are limitless. You can even construct them to spin and move. She has learned so much about geometry, magnets, structure, and physics, it is amazing.

As a point of reference, she has not shown a huge amount of interest in Legos, but she plays with with Kids K'Nex constantly.

Great!
These are great. My 10-year-old son got a set and has played with them a lot. They are very durable and very strong. Easy to make a lot of designs and encourages creativity. He also got some for his friend's birthday. Good stuff! ... Read more

Probably even more fun for adults!
This is an amazing toy. I actually bought this at the brick-and-morter store, but have bought Supermags through this site and think a comparison would be interesting. I bought a set of Supermags for my son for Christmas when I happened to see it in a toy store. Little did I know what an effect it would have on us. I didn't know about Geomag at the time. We have been playing with the Supermag set for four months now and have bought over 25,000 additional pieces from this site. That's right - 25,000! We are building huge - over 6 feet tall - sculptures with these magnets. But I realized that I should buy some Geomags and compare them. Here is what I found:

-Both sets have the same magnetic strength and identical spheres, but the Geomags are a little longer than the Supermag long pieces.
-The Geomags are wider at the contact point, which doesn't allow as tight angles, but makes them hold their angles better.
-Supermag has two lengths for the magnets, which lets you build a greater variety of shapes, especially organic shapes.
-The panels that come with Geomag let you create squares, diamonds, and pentagons that hold their shape, but they are difficult for my 5 and 7 year-olds to put together.
-The Supermags allow you to build squares and diamonds (but not pentagons) using the other length pieces for braces.
-Because the Supermags are a little shorter, they don't work with the Geomag panels. ... Read more
