Magnetix Mega Formers - Tribetat

Advantages: Great toy when you have lots of it.
Disadvantages: very dissapointing

...Magnetix Well I purchased this box from Argos for £29.99 because I thought that it would be quite good to experiment with to see what I could make. It comes in a nice big blue storage box so you can keep all of your pieces inside. The box is a 285 piece set so I was over the moon that I was getting so much for this price as I have seen the GEOMAG that sells for twice this amount. Well when I purchased it and felt the weight of it thought whay I'm on to something here, there's loads. It's a big blue container with the Magnetix logo on it sealed with vacuumed packed cellophane, so I ripped this off so I could start playing. But to my disappointment when I opened the box there was a polystyrene sheet that held the pieces in place and it didn't really look that exciting anymore. So I removed this polystyrene and found that there was... Read review

Advantages: fairly inexpensive
Disadvantages: not as good as lego

...Mega blocks. I have some at work, now I have some at home I went into my local charity shop and bought a boat with added bricks for my grandson. Mega blocks are a large plastic brick (lego style ) they are brightly coloured attractive bricks fairly easy for a child to fit together. This boat with bricks cost me 75p I think it cost about £10 in the shops a little cheaper than lego. These bricks encourage hand eye co-ordination and fire imagination, encorage creativity. These bricks are suitable for ages between 1yr and 5/6 yrs. These bricks are available in sets of standard bricks or in sets like trucks or the boat I bought. The bricks are in my opinion not as good as lego the plastic a little softer. I do not think they will be as durable as lego, but saying that the bricks I have at work are quite old and have been played... Read review

Advantages: Lots of fun,
Disadvantages: untidy!

...For my sons first Christmas, we seemed to be inundated with Mega Bloks! There must have been a special offer somewhere I think. He was only three months old so they sat in a corner for a wee while!! He received a huge 100 block bag, with zip pull, a lorry, with a tipper on the back, full of blocks, castle box, which is in the shape of a castle and contains more blocks. The bag is still intact, still full of bricks. When they are all out together, boy, what a mess! I have luckily been blessed with a tidy child who actually helps tidy up! Mega Bloks are a modern day version of Duplo, a bit more curvy and a bit bigger. The range was quite small to begin with, but over time it has expanded to quite a huge selection. They are made of sturdy plastic in all colours. When in a set, such as the castle box, you get grey to build... Read review
