100 Piece Playmags Magnetic Tiles Set

Let me first say I am not getting compensated in any way for this review. I am writing this because I had such a hard time deciding what to by because of all the mixed reviews for the various brands. I hope this will help some parents with their decision. I currently have 4 different sets of magnet tile toys: - 32 piece set Shape Mags (Purchased Dec 2016) - 2 Shape Mags 12X12 stabilizers .(Purchased March 2017) - 100 + 18 piece set Playmags .(Purchased March 2017) - 8 piece polygons Magna-Tiles .(Purchased March 2017) Our first set was the 32 piece Shape Mags. I put it on the kids' (ages 4 and 2) Christmas wish list. They loved it! Even after 3 months, they still loved playing with it, when most other Christmas presents were forgotten. The only problem was the 32 piece set is too small for 2 kids to share. After lots of research, I decided to buy the other 3 sets at the same time. Playmags had mixed reviews so I opened the set and examined the pieces before showing them to the kids. They were great! The plastic is sturdy and the magnets are strong. Maybe they fixed the problems that got them the negative reviews. Price Playmags 100 piece set + 18 click-ins (not magnetic) sells for $69.99 Shape Mags 120 piece set, including 16 fences and 2 people figures sells for $69.99 Magna-Tiles 100 piece set sells for $119.99 Magnet Strength Playmags, wins, hands down. One of the reviews said the magnets are too strong and caused pinching. Even my 2-year-old didn't have any problems with that. Magna-Tiles and Shape Mags have similar magnet strengths. Both are fine for building tall structures. Playmags just hold together better. Color Playmags and Shape Mags have the same vibrant colors. Magna-Tiles colors are a bit muted. I prefer the more vibrant colors, but it's just my opinion. Compatibility The sets mix and fit together perfectly. Conclusion 1st place: Playmags The price is comparable to Shape Mags. The magnets are stronger, which makes for sturdier structures. I prefer the more vibrant colors. 2nd place: Shape Mags The magnets are not as strong, but still strong enough to make whatever your child imagines. The stabilizers are a great addition. I highly recommend them to complete any set. If you really want the originals and you're willing to pay the extra $50 for a set of 100 pieces, then by all means, buy the Magna-Tiles. Other than that, I see no reason to pay more. Shape Mags are of the same quality and magnet strength. Playmags' magnets are significantly stronger. I plan to keep all 4 sets. If I buy another set for a gift, I would buy Playmags.

Great toys for children. My nephew loves these magnetic tiles.

My three kids and I absolutely love these Playmags tiles. This is our second purchase of 100 tiles. They have quickly become one of our favorite things to play with together. The kids come up with the most creative ideas, building houses, towers, and entire little worlds. I enjoy watching their imaginations grow and seeing how proud they are when their creations come to life. The magnets are strong, the colors are bright, and the tiles hold up well even with lots of playtime. I also appreciate how they encourage problem solving and patience while still being fun. It is such a great way for the kids to learn, explore, and build confidence without realizing it. I highly recommend these for any family looking for a fun and meaningful activity that keeps kids engaged and off screens.

These are a great buy for the money. My grandkids love these, and I learned I don't have to buy the more expensive brands in order to get good quality. They fit in with the other brands and you will be glad you gave them a try.

Very entertaining, the kids love it. I was playing with it. Good job whoever came up with this one.

We got these during a sale and probably the number one toy that our daughter keeps playing with occasionally as she gets older. All the adults get a kick out of it too. The build on them seem a lot nicer than some of the other brands I've seen and I expect them to last a long time.

Love the tiles they’re great quality but I’m annoyed that it’s marketing is 100 pieces when 13 of the pieces are unnecessary alphabet tiles and another few window installments so in reality you’re getting less magnets

Since there aren't very many reviews for these Playmags I am going to write one. I usually never do reviews...however, I had a hard time deciding whether or not to purchase these and wished that there were more reviews...so hopefully this is helpful to someone! We have a set of Magnatiles that my son loves so when I saw these Playmags for much cheaper than Magnatiles I was very interested. However, I was hesitant to buy them because I didn't know how they compare to the Magnatiles (I didn't want to waste money I could have put towards another set of Magnatiles). I decided to go ahead and take the risk of buying them because I really like the variety of shapes, pieces, and colors Playmags offer. I bought the Delux Building Set of 100 plus the Add on Accessory set of 50 (4 cars, 16 fences, & 30 squares). I found them for a combined total of $124 plus free shipping on another website. Now that the tiles are here and we have had a chance to play with them and compare them I am very pleased with the purchase. Similarities Between Playmags and Magnatiles: -magnet strength is comparable -sets are compatible and interchangeable -durability seems comparable (time will tell...but so far they seem the same) Differences Between Playmags & Magnatiles: -Magnatiles have a small metal rivet in each corner of the tile (Playmags do not) -colors are different (I actually like the variety of the Playmag colors better) -Playmags offer a more diverse variety of shapes and building pieces -Playmags are much cheaper Overall I would buy these Playmags again. My son loves them just as much as the Magnatiles (if not more because of the fence, car, and window pieces). It also helps that I bought 150 pieces of Playmags for just a little over what a set of 100 Magnatiles would cost.

J’ai acheté ces blocs de construction magnétiques pour mes enfants et je suis vraiment ravi ! Les pièces sont solides, bien finies et les aimants tiennent parfaitement. Les couleurs sont vives et attirent tout de suite l’attention des enfants. Ils passent des heures à construire, inventer et développer leur imagination tout en s’amusant. C’est à la fois éducatif et ludique, parfait pour stimuler la créativité et la motricité fine. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, je recommande vivement ce jouet !
