MagformersAmazing Transform 17Pc Wheel Set | Magnetic Tiles for STEM Development, and Critical Thinking | Magnetic Blocks and Building Tiles to Develop Problem-Solving Ability and Shape Recognition

Big hit with my 5-year old grand-nephew. I had to take it out of the box because it wouldn't fit in my suitcase so I was worried that he wouldn't "get it" but he was quite captivated for an extended period. His father seemed to enjoy it too! It was fun watching the two of them create and then seeing the little one explore on his own. I had gotten a similar set (without the wheels) for my elderly father who suffered from Alzheimer's and he enjoyed it as well. This appears to be a nice, durable creative and fun toy for many ages. I do wish it had come with a bag to store the pieces although they do stick together nicely.

Bought a starter set years ago when this toy first came out, we have been adding sets ever sense. the base magnet shapes are even good for toddlers little fingers. Magnets are strong and well secured inside the shapes. Buildings stand tall until taken down. Great as gifts!!

This is a great investment for kids of all ages. We recently rented a vacation home and the family had this exact set in the kids' bedroom. My almost 3 year old son is really interested in them. He doesn't "get" how to build quite yet, but will easily grow into them. My 8 year old daughter and 39 year old (heehee ... husband!) had a lot of fun seeing all the different types of vehicles they could build with these. They also built some building structures. We purchased these while still on vacation to save for our son's birthday and they had arrived the day we got home. WTG Amazon! 2 day shipping ended up taking only 1 day. Our daughter was so into playing with these, that we let them start playing with them yesterday. I am sure we will add on later so they have even more pieces. I think the set it adequate but I imagine how much further their imaginations will stretch with more pieces.A good investment for a building toy. Our older daughter with Down Syndrome seemed intrigued by the magnetic workings of the pieces also.

I love these toys. Even though the magformers are expensive, they are well worth it as they will last forever. My sons 1 and 4 LOVE these toys and play with them daily. Yes DAILY. We have had one set since last Christmas (almost a year) and I ordered this set in July to join it and it is just as good as the first one. Between the two sets they keep coming up with new stuff to build. (I will say they played with the first set by itself every day and they still came up with a ton of stuff--now it is just double the fun) Would I like to have more? Of course but given the cost we have to buy them in chunks. Don't get me wrong one set is enough to have fun with and the wheels and hexagons are a big hit and in almost every creation that they make. So if you had to pick just one set I would say this is a good one to go with.The best part is that they are magnets (so they are learning magnetic properties) and they are safe --which many magnets are not because they are so small they pose choking hazards...these do not.

The boys loved this set...the only downfall needed more magnets...lol...they love police cars and fire trucks...so this was a winner...thanks...oh I'm suppose to say 4 people...there is only 3...lol...so for our family 2 thumbs up...magnets are strong...when built it's sturdy...and all pieces work...good luck...hope your family enjoys as much as we do...

My previous favorite toy was  Magna-Tiles Clear Colors 100 Piece Set . I bought them when my oldest grandson was 3. He just turned 6. They have entertained him, and his cousins for hours and hours in the short time we have had them. I love seeing how creative in their constructions they can be.The Magformers Wow Set was a Lightning Deal and I thought it might be a good addition since it had some wheels and can make cars/trucks/trains. etc. After I ordered it, I decided 16 pieces would not be enough, so I also ordered a 62 piece set. They both arrived today while the 6 year old was here. We had the best time with them. They can do things the Magnatiles cannot do. I am most impressed with the instructions on how to lay the pieces out flat and then lift by one of the center pieces, pulling it into a 3-D figure. You can't do that with the Magnatiles since they are solid and have no opening in the center to pick them up. I am a retired geometry teacher, so to be able to have children translate what they want their 3-D figure to look like when finished into the 2-D model is HUGE. I don't expect my 6 year old grandson to be able to do this for awhile, but he can make the pattern the picture shows and see how it will pull into the 3-D figure. I want toys he can grow with and this is definitely one of those. I have 7 grandchildren, so I expect these will be a favorite toy to play with at grandma's house. I ordered another set this afternoon because I saw that there are sets with pentagons and we didn't have any in the sets I already purchased. Yes, these are an investment, but I expect they will be a favorite for many, many years. Possibly even longer than Legos, since we really haven't gotten into those yet.

If you stick with it and use same brand they can build all sorts of things. Grandson 41/2 loves them

I bought Magformers more than a year ago. Mainly for the eldest son (5 years old)This is actually my first Magformers set so I can not compare it with other Magformers sets.But I would like to note that this toy has become one of the favorite toys not only my son, but my daughter (2 years).This year my children don't lost any !!! details on this set and retained package where each time put all its elements. (In the picture how it looks now)I also noticed that this toy develops creativity and gives the opportunity to my child to become a true inventor.I often join the game and get great pleasure to play with them.As for the problems, as I said I did not have occasion to try different Magformers sets so I can not comment on the views of many people who wrote feedback about quality of elements of this Magformers set compare with other. But I noticed that price of the Magformers is not low.As the conclusion today after a year of use of the toys I can recommend this toy.

Great toy, one similar for my granddaughter, and one for a little boy birthday present.

Super consigliato! Il nostro bambino lo adora, grazie ai magneti può sfogare la creatività. Davvero bello

Great item for kids who love to build things.

Mein Neffe hat sich gefreut und spielt gerne damit!

Muy bien hecho, colorido, muy original. A los peques les encanta.
