Anybody have reviews on the Edushape Magic Shape?

Looks similar to the Magnatiles but lesser in price. I don't have a Magnatiles either but was looking for that or a similar toy.

Any thoughts?

My DD has a set of these we gave her when she was about 18 months. She liked them for a while. They are nice in that they are lightweight. However, they are foam and not very robust. The magnets sometimes fall off. Also, you are sort of limited in what you can do.

That said, we also have magnatiles and my daughter gets frustrated that they come apart so easily. She wishes they would stay together more.

I would skip them. They are rather flimsy and not many come in the box.
