Building Sets Reviews

These toys are the best!I like these because they are soooooo durabule and fun.

Let me start off by saying this is not my first Stikfa, I have at least one of every set out so far, so I might be a little bias. Never the less these are some of the best action figures out there for creative people or some one that just wants something different. They are made to customized or fun even if left as is. You build them and then it's up to you what's next. So weather you bring out the paint and sculpty to create a movable work of art or just use the stickers and multiple accessories to make a unique action figure, you will not be disappointed with a Stikfa action figure kit.

More fun than a bucket of army men; more customizable than a G.I. Joe. The extra pieces and stickers make customizing as much fun as playing.

The toy comes with enough pieces to make 2 torsoes. Why not throw in another head and a few more leg pieces, bump the price to $11 and have two toys? $8.99 is a lot for one toy, but $5.50 each seems reasonable.

What the toy lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. If you don't mind dropping the dough, pick up one of these guys.

I ordered the geomag 42 Piece glow in the dark set as well as this one (panels). The description states "84 piece Geomag with Panels". I assumed I was getting additional magnetic pieces with the panels from the statement "with Panels". All that actually comes in this package is the panels. Now I need to order additional magnets so we will have enough to build with. For the amount of magnets and panels that I will have to buy I can't believe these aren't sold in a carrying case. They come in a styrofoam sleeve that won't hold together after it is taken out of the box. I have to wonder if Magnetix would be a better buy for what you get. Quality is fine but it seems you get less for your money. Overall I am disappointed!

This is an amazing toy. I actually bought this at the brick-and-morter store, but have bought Supermags through this site and think a comparison would be interesting. I bought a set of Supermags for my son for Christmas when I happened to see it in a toy store. Little did I know what an effect it would have on us. I didn't know about Geomag at the time. We have been playing with the Supermag set for four months now and have bought over 25,000 additional pieces from this site. That's right - 25,000! We are building huge - over 6 feet tall - sculptures with these magnets. But I realized that I should buy some Geomags and compare them. Here is what I found:

-Both sets have the same magnetic strength and identical spheres, but the Geomags are a little longer than the Supermag long pieces.
-The Geomags are wider at the contact point, which doesn't allow as tight angles, but makes them hold their angles better.
-Supermag has two lengths for the magnets, which lets you build a greater variety of shapes, especially organic shapes.
-The panels that come with Geomag let you create squares, diamonds, and pentagons that hold their shape, but they are difficult for my 5 and 7 year-olds to put together.
-The Supermags allow you to build squares and diamonds (but not pentagons) using the other length pieces for braces.
-Because the Supermags are a little shorter, they don't work with the Geomag panels.

I bought this for my son's third birthday. He really enjoys hammering the nails and taking them out again. This toy keeps his interest for long periods of time. Great quality, great fun.
