Can someone explain this magnext toy to me, dd has some vouchers from amazon and loves magnext toys.

[TWINSETinapeartree]

not quite sure what it is, dd has been rabbiting on enthusiastically about it Has anyone else bought one?

Ooh. I don't know what it is, but it looks ace. Sorry not to help. At least I'm bumping though..

Thanks I think it also looks ace but for the life of me I cant work out what it is.

DD is an only child and there are not many things she will happily do on her own, but she plays with her magnext sets for ages.

isn't it just a set, with a case that has things you can attach the magnets to?

So for £35 she is just getting a box, that is what I thought but it seemed a lot of money for a box.

it has parts aswell, says (though I am sure you have read);

• Innovation to the best selling Magna Case
• Swivels full 360 degrees for customization of play pattern
• Play off the handle, double Magna-Base
• Comes with Systems and Special Parts

and

ds got this from Father Christmas (via a half price offer at Argos). It does have quite a few pieces in it as well but don't think I'd pay full whack (£50) for it.

I read the blurb but it meant nothing to me.

lol. It isn't written at all well is it, I read it several times.
To me it says that there are special type pieces and a magnetic display box.

If she already has magnetix then that's compatible with it so you're not just stuck with the 100 pieces in the case.

Agree, wouldn't pay full price for it but then I think all Magnext stuff is pricey.

It is great for building models on and fantastic to actually have a case to put all the bloody stuff in.

Get it from Argos though, currently £24.39 with other offers available as well.

It is still half price in argos. I could replace her vouchers with money as I need to get some books for work.

There are some fancy bits in it so you can suspend models off the handle and (if you are patient enough!) make moving models too.

Thanks dd thinks it is amazing, dp thinks it is a waste of money though.
