Product Description |
| Get ready for hours of fun, creative play with this MEGA MagNext building system. A collection of metal balls and plastic pieces with magnetic connectors helps kids understand magnetism, sharpen problem solving skills, and build imagination. With over 100 pieces, this system provides endless construction projects for kids aged six and up. Small parts make this set inappropriate for small children who need constant supervision. 
The convenient carrying case is also a construction base. View larger. |

Fun Factor: 
Durability:
(what this means)
The Good: Building system offers infinite possibilities for construction fun
The Bad: Small metal balls can roll away and get lost
In a Nutshell: The MagNext system inspires hours of imaginative play | At a Glance
Ages: 6 and up
|  | | Ready for Action
Just open the convenient case, take the pieces out of their plastic holders, and you and your child are ready for the fun to begin. A single page of illustrated instructions offers some construction suggestions and shows how to use the mX logo to figure out the polarity of magnetic connectors. The carrying case converts to a platform for construction that can be arranged in several ways, allowing inventions to hang in the air or climb up and down a slanted platform. Several compartments help keep small parts from getting lost when the set is not in use. Colorful, Easy-to-Combine Pieces
Plastic pieces in red, blue, orange, lime green, and gray combine with shiny silver balls to make bold, colorful creations. A mixture of square and triangular base pieces increases the geometric possibilities of this system, while special pieces that snap into the middle of those base pieces allow the addition of interesting features. Translucent faces can be snapped on for a smooth look, and snap-in connectors that spin or hinge add movement to favorite creations. We found that the pieces were durable and easy to handle. Both assembly and deconstruction came naturally, making it easy to begin new projects. Encourage Creativity
Innovation and creative thinking come naturally to children, and building toys stimulate their desire to create new things and explore the world around them. With the MagNext system, kids can choose between recreating the things they see each day, like houses and vehicles, and inventing entirely new machines. MagNext also offers a hands-on way to explore geometry and magnetism. The only downside we found with this building system was that metal balls occasionally escaped off of smooth tables or across hardwood floors. Playing on carpet or being careful to store the balls in the carrying case when they weren't in use quickly solved this problem. Since there are plenty of pieces for simultaneous construction projects, this set is perfect for cooperative play or a single child with a huge imagination. It can be combined with other MagNext systems, increasing building possibilities and adding to the fun.
What's in the Box
Case, two plastic base pieces, 100 plastic and metal construction elements, fold-out instruction sheet.

 This toy is just plain great! |

I purchased this toy as a birthday present for my child. He is a creative little guy who loves to build things and take things apart and then build again. What is great about the 100 count MagnaCase is that is allows him to do just that. There are no instructions for him to build a boat or a plane, he has the ability to build whatever he wants and we try to encourage that kind of creativity in him. I recommend this toy to anyone considering purchasing it as it has brought much enjoyment to my son and myself. (good quality time together)

| i bought it for my nephew and he never goes in the car or airplane without it. the case is small enough to fit into a back pack yet inside it has many different parts to play for hours. the parts connect to the case by magnets so that you do not lose any smaller pieces. overall, it is a great value for the money and definitely a must have for creative kids who love to build! |
Magnets Fun !

| I gave the Magnext MagnaCase 360 sets to two of my grandsons, and they LOVE these sets. I've never seen anything captivate their imagination for so many hours at a time! They are 7 and 8, and their 10-year-old cousin has made Gramma promise to get him a set, too. Just be aware that there's lots of small parts and some small magnets that you do not want around younger children, toddlers or dogs that like to chew things. |
LOVE this toy!!!

| Our 5 yr old received this for Christmas, and he's played with it almost every day since then! He had one of the MUCH more expensive Magnetix sets prior to receiving this one (& he does use them together quite often), but I've never seen him pick the Magnetix set over this one. So...if you're in the market for a magnetic building set...save yourself a LOT of money, and buy this one (it even comes with more pieces & a case that won't get dented out of shape within a month)! WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! |
