Toys and Games Reviews of Magna-Tiles Clear Colors 32 piece set
Customer Review: Very disappointed. Wish I got something else for that price
Summary: 2 Stars
I got these Magna Tiles for a 4 year old for Christmas. After seeing all the 5 star reviews I figured this is a no brainer purchase and I was happy to buy something that I thought would be a huge hit as a gift for a 4 year old. When the box came in the mail it was light and thin like a medium sized box of chocolates, not substantial at all. That was the first warning that this was not going to be a great gift but I put it aside and hoped what was inside would be great.
On Christmas morning he opened it up and I was so underwhelmed and disappointed by what was inside. It looked like just a few plastic colored tiles with magnets inside the edges, nothing special. I kept saying to my sister "I spent $___ just for this?!". I felt they should have cost 1/5th of the price considering what they are, just plastic tiles with magnets in the edges.
The boy played with them for maybe 4 minutes, he didnt want to but his mother forced him to since I got them and was right there, which just made me feel embarrassed. It was the most boring playtime ever to watch a little kid try to act like he's having fun playing with little tiles. He built a few boxes and everything else he built fell apart so he got bored and went off to play with the more fun toys he got that day.
That was a few months ago. I checked in and he still barely plays with them now. And he loves to build things.
The structure of whatever you're building falls apart all the time. Theres nothing to lock them to each other to maintain the shape of what youre building. And the tiles themselves are lifeless with no real character. I think Legos would be a lot more fun because legos have character and you can lock them to each other so what you build holds together.
With Magna Tiles its like building a deck of cards and if you move it a little they fall apart.
What 4 year old is delicate with their toys? None I've ever met.
Also, sometimes the magnets repel each other, so the tiles push away. Talk about frustrating.
I was very disappointed with these tiles and I wish I could return them. I guess they make nice coasters to put your drinks on. Expensive plastic coasters.
