I only had the DX-2000XXL for a short while before returning it for the DX-1000XXL because of the size difference but I don't recall any differences between them besides that. The general feel and top material was the same from what I remember.

Magformers are not compatible with Magna-tiles. Magformers use a Neodymium magnet that has much more power than the ferrite magnets in magna-tiles. While the magnets from both companies attract, they

Hi, I don't know what Magna Tiles/Picasso Tiles. Yes, magnets lineup. Very powerful magnets. We are happy. I suggest to check out the YOUTUBE for all the combinations you can do with Magformers. I made my decisions after I saw it on the Youtube. I hope it helps. Myra

We have something similar to Magformers and Powerclix and the magnatiles get far more play time. Magnatiles are expensive but my 2-and 5-year-old play with them daily (and have for several years). They stick no matter which way they are facing so they are easy to use. Both of my kids build with them with ease. My mother runs a program with children and has used them for many years without ever having to replace any. Magnatiles are easily the best toy purchase made in our house. Totally worth the money (and even more fun when you shine a flashlight through them).

I have not seen or used the magna tiles. I do know that the magformers are supposed to have stronger magnets.Sorry I'm not more help.

They are similar but the difference are the pegs. The make it a must to place the same color piece in the peg area, therefore it is a little more challenging. I like both.

I am trying to find this information out as well. The only difference I have seen so far is this set is 1" wider than the other set, and that was by reading comments.

they're two very different technologies, it's not rightly fair to compare them. honestly, what i tell everyone is to go to a couple stores and *look* at the sets you're interested in.

I DID buy the toy based on positive reviews. Then returned it and bought the Magna-Tiles. Thanks for asking this question, though, because it was enlightening to see the answer that SL gave about the Facebook contest.

No you can't. They don't work together at all. We had a set of Magna Tiles and a set of Magformers and we ended up selling the Manga Tiles and buying more Magformers because they were 100% incompatible.

I've got both. The large # are great, the holder for the larger # tiles is not as convenient.

Sorry we have no magnatiles, but these attach to each other by magnets, they also attach to anything which is metallic in nature.

Not familiar with other products, but do know Magna Tiles are a bit hit with my 7 year old nephew and the Kindergarten and 1st Graders in my school. The children amaze me with their designs and it's a great way to problem solve and learn geometric relationships. Hope this helps.

Hi, Chet! I think the set with wheels is great for toddler boys. As your child gets bigger, you may want to add to the Magna-tile collection because they start to really enjoy building big structures and towers. As a beginning set, though, the smaller one with wheels is fun!

I do not expect they match because the take'n play do not match trackmaster or the starter version. The engines are a different size from other Thomas and Friends trains also with wheels at different widths. I don't know about the Mega Bloks but I suppose they're even larger than Take 'n Plays.
