Customer's Thoughts

We got this about a week ago from one of our customers... I could not have written a better commercial myself...  Thanks Megan!


LOVE! LOVE! LOVE YOUR TOYS!

My daughter will sit for hours upon hours building structures with her magnetix. She has built a mall with stores inside of stores which is pretty cool. She made what she called a horse stable but she had the general idea. She is only about to be 2 also. It's funny because we got them because she tried to take them home from day care....not once....not twice but on three different occasions. Every once in awhile I would find a piece or two in her pockets if she had any. So even though she was slightly under age - she had to have them. I have since also purchased the Geomag's for my son and they both have a blast with them. I just wanted to directly compliment this wonderfully amusing toy and thank you personally.

Best part of the job: “Helping kids who come in here looking for stuff, because the kids are really fun to talk to and work with. One kid came in looking for these new magnet toys (consisting of tiny magnetic balls that can create chains). He didn’t know what they were called or what he was looking for. We showed him five or six different ones and he finally saw what he wanted

Traveling with kids can be fun, stress free — as long as you’re prepared

While doing my daily routine, I ran across this interesting article.  As summer approaches, we American's typically find some place to go.  This year may be a bit different in that the gasoline prices are out of control, but, needless to say, some of us will take to the highways and byways for a quick getaway.  If you have children, take a quick gander at this nice little article about being prepared for the trip.
Excerpt from www.iodinews.com:

As we traveled across the American landscape with a U-Haul trailer attached to my Toyota Corolla, I kept looking back to see if my son was still there. Trailing behind us, the 5-by-7 U-Haul was hauling my 2-year-old’s basketball hoop, toys, playpen and our luggage. We were prepared. We wanted our son to be as comfortable as possible in the hotel rooms while staying with Nana and Papa. Fearing for the worst, we brought everything but the kitchen sink... read more

In kind of a cap off, if you need something to keep a 6, 7, 8-12 year old busy for a few hours, Magnetic Toys can be just the ticket...  Check out our selection and be prepared.

Top Toys for 2011

Why Magnetix are such a great construction toy...

Some things to consider when buying a toy construction kit for your child.  For years, Legos have been our mainstay when it comes to teaching our children hand eye coordination, creativity and streching the imagination.  Several years ago, a company designed what wuld become the underdog initially in a really new/old technology... They designed a toy that used one of the oldest science ideas of all time, the use of magnets and incorporated it with steel balls to make a great construction toy.

so... why do Magnetix work so well when your child is ready for a construcion toy.

Lets consider what children see when they first touch Magnetix.  For the first time, your child will experience magnetic pull (magnetic polarization).  Magnetic polarization is where the magnets either push apart from each other or attract to each.  We as adults, take magnetisim for granted becasue we have been through school... just for a minute, put yourself in a 6 or 7 year old child.  They have never seen magnetisim... consider that... NEVER seen it... So for the first two hours, they are going to sit there and just tinker to figure it out.  After that, and for the next 4 to 5 years, they will continue to build bigger and more elaborate deisgns and structures.  Anyone that has had a set of Maagnetix will admit that is exactly what happens.  Hours of enjoyment and learning all in one.

The Awe and Wonder of Magnets and Magnetix

Several months back, I published a small article on the "Awe and Wonder of Magnets and Magnetix.  Here is an excerp from the artilce:

Remember when you were a kid around say... the 5th grade? Probably not, but if you think about what follows, it will bring back some happy memories. Magnets have been the introduction of science to children for generations. Magnets, and that unseen force keeping one from touching the other or in that same instant, flipping madly around and sticking together. What a fun way to start off learning about science.

Well back to the 5th grade. Back then we had the old fashioned horseshoe magnets, remember them? The teacher would break out the iron filings, a sheet of paper and the small horseshoe magnet and there you had it, your first scientific experiment...

The Magnetix Primary Colors 150 Piece Building Set

So lets discuss the Mangetix Primary Colors Building Set and what you actually get. 

The Magnetix Primary Colors Building Set is currently the largest building set in the manufacturer's packaging being sold on the web today.  This product was discontinued in 2008 by Mega Brands and re-introduced to the web in 2009 by the Magnetix Galore Store.  The Magnetix Primary Colors Building Set is by far the best selling toy we have ever sold. 

The set consists of 90 magnetix magnetic rods and 60 3/8 inch steel balls.  This set is great because it is large enough to really start making some really cool designs.  Originally, Target and Walmart sold this item for $79.95. The Magnetix Galore Store sells the product currently for $34.95 and it is shipped in a commercial grade 16x12x4 box via FedEx Home / FedEx Ground.  Our customers get their product for a flat rate shipping cost of $6.50 which means your complete out of pocket cost is $41.45.  The shipping is between 3 and 6 days depending on location.

When our customers see what their children do with this set of Magnetix, and the hours and hours of enjoyment they get from playing and designing with it, we have been told it is well worth the price paid.  If you have interest in learning more about this and other Magnetix products, read more...
