I got the cheaper brand, Picasso Tiles. Just like Magnatiles as far as I can tell.

My kids don't play with them at home.much, by loved the set at school. I was working at a camp last week, and magnatiles were the most popular toy.

I'm going to have to say for us, no. My son just never played with them that much. He has always been a lego guy.

My son ignores the set at home, even if I take them out of rotation for a while. He plays with them at other places (friends house, doctors office, etc) like they are some brand-new toy he's never seen before. No clue why...

My kids 5 and 7 play with them at least 4-5 days a week.

My kids play with them all the time. I try to buy them when some toy web store is having a sale, and then we save them to give as gifts.

Totally worth it and I'm usually pretty cheap about toys.

We got them for our DS when he turned 3. Pretty much no interest. I was disappointed.

But now at 3.5 he likes them a lot and getting really good and creative.

Absolutely worth it. Got them 2 Christmases ago for DS-- he was 9 and my other kids were 3 and 4. It's the one thing they all play with and play together with. And preschool always has them on the list of things they'd like donated.

They are an awesome toy - kids get endless hours of play with them.

They are expensive, but worth it IMO.

I don't really think they are worth the money. My DS thinks they're okay but doesn't love them. He's almost 3.5 and just started getting interested in them -- otherwise, it's usually DH or me who is playing with them while he drives his trucks into the garages we make, etc. They're sturdy and will last forever, and I think they're really versatile (and probably you could resell them for half the price at least). We bought them, and I don't regret it, but I don't know that it's really worth the money.

you can't compare a >99cent app to actual magna tiles.. really! thats just awful, app doesn't give children the same imagination or use of motor skills the way magna tiles does and yes they are expensive, very worth it though.

Another fan here. We've had ours for a year and DD who is four plays with them every day. If they weren't so expensive I would giive them as gifts.

Yes! It's the most often played with item in my house,
Castles, train stations, parking lots...magnatiles are just cool. We have the transparent.

SO worth every penny. We've been using them for years. I like the clear because we (we!) make structures like garages for cars, and you can see what's inside the structures when they're clear.
