Advantages: easy way to get 3 minifigs/3 new Lego blasters, great for building Imperial armies Disadvantages: not much in this set, very pricey considering the contents
...Ok I\'m gonna write a quick review for this item. The is a LegoMagnetset which has a stormtrooper minifig, y-wing pilot minifig, and at-st pilot minifig. The minifigs are exactly like normal Lego minfigs except they have magnets permanently attached inside their legs (no Lego symbol on their backs like Lego\'s keychains). They\'re a bit heavier than regular minifigs but there\'s very little difference. They work like regular minifigs so buying a couple of these and you can form a pretty decent sized army. These minifigs even have Lego\'s new blasters which are much better than their old megaphone blasters. The price for one of these sets around 10-13 USD which is a lot and you can only get these online so shipping will add to the price.

For anyone who hasn't come across Lego before, here is a brief background. Lego make a range of interlocking plastic building bricks. They also make windows, roof bricks, wheels, gears, pulleys and little Lego figures, otherwise known as Lego people. They make a wide range of different themed sets including Harry Potter Lego, Pirates, Castles and Star Wars Lego. My children have had Legosets since they were very small starting with the Lego Duplo, for small people and building up to the Lego Technic, for more grown up little people.

Advantages: Easy to follow instructions, hours of fun! Disadvantages: quite expensive!
...Let me start this review by making it clear that it is the 150 piece set I am reviewing as ciao has a picture of a 20 piece set along side the heading for 150 piece set.
Ok with that cleared up lets get on, Magnetix are a selection of short and long plastic sticks with magnets in both ends which can be built together or used along with the steel balls that accompany them. When used with the balls they can of course be made into many more shapes as the balls work as hinges and also allow the connection of more than one stick at a time.
There are other shapes available such as hexagons and triangular pieces these however are few and far between when you buy average size sets. There are many other versions of this toy however magnetix is the original and does seem to be the best.
This toy is by no means cheap fun for your kids, when...
