This Magformers set set contains 174 pieces in 17 shapes.

Bridges are one of Magformers’ favorite themes. The model of the bridge was in one of his very first sets, and nearly anyone who owns Magformers built bridges from this constructor. In the Landmark set – Monuments of history and culture, you can find another famous bridge, the Golden Gate.

This Magformers set contains 174 parts in 17 shapes.

Magformers disappointed us a little… Disappointed not with the new details, of course, we liked big details, supersectors and superarches. The cones made a good impression, and the smallest arches and sectors also turned out to be useful. But the manufacturer miscalculated with the magnets in large details. Greedy thing… They are no magnets in places where they are very needed!!! Crosses on the photo indicate places where there are NO magnets …

Another craft option proposed for the small Magformers Basic. There are many thing you can build from this set, but it is still more useful as an addition to some other set.

Another proposed craft from the smallest Magformers Basic Set. I don’t know what it is, but it looks funny.

Another possible craft from the smallest Magformers Basic set. It takes almost all pieces in the set to build.

This is smallest of the Magformers Basic sets – it has only 14 pieces, and only squares and triangles. However, this is enough to build many different things or enhance some set you already have. It is a good starter set just to try out Magformers. It may also be handy as a travel option, since it’s entertaining and takes little space when stacked.

A radar in green tones…

Not so long ago Magformers with illumination appeared on the toy market. Usually they offer a set of 55 parts, which, in addition to triangles and squares, includes 6 white pyramids. But I unexpectedly came across a set of 48 transparent parts – triangles, high isosceles triangles, squares, small rectangles and diamonds. It is lighted by an LED enclosed under a matte case on a square magnetic piece – you can attach it to the craft any way you like. There are several lighting modes – first, the variable one, which changes color like a Christmas decoration in 2 modes, fast and slow. Then there are modes with only one color at a time – red, yellow, piercing yellow, greenish, blue, pink, and neutral white. The LED charges very quickly from a computer via a USB port. Full charge is enough for one busy construction evening.

The reaction of children to the backlight is difficult to describe – they liked it very much. I had to take take turns giving the LED piece to children. With it, crafts come to life, rockets and cars are illuminated, houses with luminous windows are very cozy.

So we just switched it to pink… It actually glows pretty bright.
