Toys and Games Reviews of Magnext 100 Count MagnaCase 360

Customer Review: Good toy; not such a great case
Summary: 4 Stars

This is the second Magnext product I have purchased. My two daughters (ages 4 and 5) love building things with the magnext. The big problem with this particular purchase is the case itself. It is difficult to open; my girls can't open it by themselves. Also, there isn't really enough storage space inside, particularly since the two largest compartments are underneath the plastic cover that you are supposed to use as a base for building. This means that you have to dump everything out before you start building, which almost guarantees that parts are going to end up under the rug and that it will take a long time to clean up. The whole point of paying extra money for the case is for convenient storage! I would recommend buying a different set, and providing your own storage.

Description of Magnext 100 Count MagnaCase 360

Bigger, stronger and better than ever, this 110-piece MagnaCase provides endless building possibilities. The case acts as the base for crafty construction and swivels 360 degrees for customized play. The magnetic parts are bigger than before to reassure parents of safe play.
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.

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.
