Chinese Disneyland Fantasy

This is a Chinese Quircetti gears clone set. The name of the set is “Amusement Park”. This includes a carousel with horses, a Ferris wheel, and a slide where a car slides down. The mechanism that rotates the entire structure is hidden in the house. It seems like in other sets have music, but this one doesn’t, it just spins. It’s a very funny toy when assembled. The horses on the carousel go up and down as they rotate, the car slides down the hill (you have to catch it in time), there are two palm trees – one of them spins. The second was supposed to be hit by the car, but we lost the trunk, so the car flies away completely into nowhere. The people figurines are cute and rubbery. You can buy other sets of this series in this series and combine them.

This set is very similar to Quercetti Gears sets. The set includes several base plates that fit together like puzzle pieces. Nearly half the time these are in use at our house, they’ve been transformed into intriguing boxes. So, they’re not just basic pieces but are captivating structures in their own right. The second set of pieces has support structures, which are tubes and joints that interlock to create sturdy poles.

In addition to the gears, this set also comes with attachments like chains and rubber bands. You can use them to connect groups of gears that would otherwise be separate. Also, you can use them with other toys and building sets.

Ginimag – Korean Magformers

Ginimag magnetic parts are of excellent quality, if not for the cross inside, it would be indistinguishable from the original Magformers. They magnetize just as well and the colors are nice. The big blue rectangle in the top left, the yellow square in the center, and the red triangle in the bottom right are Magformers.

Clics CUBICUS Tower

A tower we built from Clics Cubicus.

ClicsToys is a Belgian company that was founded in 2001. They operate their own factory located in Kempen, where they manufacture the well-known Clics building blocks. These building sets consist of square pieces, all of which share the same form and shape. They easily connect at their edges, forming joints that can be moved.
Since the fundamental components of Clics are square, the basic forms you can build are typically cubic or brick-like. Nevertheless, thanks to the movable joints, you can connect them at various angles, resulting in diverse shapes. With careful assembly, it’s even possible to create triangular or sloping figures. However, the cubes remain the most robust and dependable structures this set can offer. Additionally, you can explore the option of crafting flat mosaics by combining pieces of different colors.
Using these plastic squares, you can construct flat surfaces and transform them into 3D shapes. Despite having relatively few extra pieces and accessories, Clics offer limitless creative possibilities. Some sets may include wheels and decorative panels, but these are the primary add-ons. On the plus side, Clics sets generally contain numerous pieces, enabling you to create complex structures with a single set.
