Is this considered  a great price?  My daughter has been asking for these.  Is 100 peice set enough to keep kids busy?

Oh yes! Warning: it may keep the adults in your house busy too....
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

For 1 it's enough. If there's more kids around you're gonna need more.

From the reviews (of people who have both) seems like these are just as good as magnatiles. Anyone try them?

I just got them a few days ago. My initial impression is that the magnets are not as strong as MagnaTiles, things don't hold up quite as well. I haven't tried them head-to-head, it's just based on how I remember the Magnatiles being. I might be misremembering.


I just ordered a set of MagnaTiles with this deal, once I get it I'll do a proper comparison test.

I just did a very brief comparison, the MagnaTiles definitely hold together better than the Picasso tiles.

Me too.  Kids couldn't be happier.  My 3 year old lives building, and my 1 year loves knocking them down.  Something  tells me that by the end of shabbos I might be a bit exasperated.
