Review : 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.
