I don't think you can do better than the $120 on amazon

Hence why I don't have any in my house. Everyone who has them tells me they're grandparent toys

Pretty sure we have this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A29U2TS/?tag=cl03f-20

That's a knockoff... and as others posted, the imitation magna tiles don't have the same quality magnetics.

Save $30 for the knockoff? Would have to be bigger savings to make it worth it

I remember hearing that part of the reason that magnatiles are so expensive is because one of the major factories that was producing the special magnets they require, got destroyed during the Japanese tsunami.

I think it was actually a flood in their warehouse in Missouri or something like that. But that was a couple of years ago already. For a time it was impossible to find them anywhere
