Total different toy.. it's much stronger magnets, you can make things that you can't make with Magnatiles, like round things (ferris wheel, airplanes, cars, etc)
Bottom line u can't compare the price to maganatiles because it's not the same toy they are just both magnetic building toys.
In a way I hate when that happens like Lego for example, I have so much, I mean a crazy amount of Lego in my home, more then one can imagine.
With that on a side note, I was just trying to bring out when they started to make knock offs and the jewish versions which were an exact replica except it does not say Lego on it. Very annoying that they get mixed together, but then again they are compatible, I guess it's just in my head when It gets mixed and I get annoyed.
