What type of packaging does this particular set of magna tiles come in? Is there a small booklet inside with building ideas?

The packaging is a box approximately 12" x 10" x 4". As for the building ideas, I'm not sure. It's a gift so I can't open. i suggest contacting the manufacturer. I DO know that the smaller set had an insert with ideas. With these toys, however, no suggestions are needed. They are intuitive and just so darn fun. Even very little kids will be able to create all sorts of fun things.

It comes in a very sturdy box with slots so the pieces are easy to keep track of and sort for re-packing. It does include a leaflet, but we have found with our grandkids, they just like to "start in" and see how big and tall they can go. Unlike building blocks, the magnets keep even "out of kilter" structures from toppling over. I think you are better off getting the 100 piece set, while more expensive, it has many more of the structural pieces. We have purchased both and keep the smaller set at our house for visits. The bigger sets are at the grandkids homes. Adults like this product, too!! It comes in a very sturdy box with slots so the pieces are easy to keep track of and sort for re-packing.

If I remember correctly, the tiles came in a cardboard box. I now store them in a clear plastic container so my granddaughter knows what is inside. There is a small pamphlet inside with pictures but it is totally unnecessary. Children's creativity takes over.

Oh yes, they came with it. It's all in Chinese :-) But it has images in various stages of assembly, a bit like an Ikea kit. Here, I scanned mine and posted it online so you can print a copy: http://tinypic.com/r/2rdxpna/8 (and just in case they try to delete/mangle the link, here it is again: tinypic DOT com/r/2rdxpna/8 Enjoy!- C

Only the box they come in. The box does have a plastic insert that has different shapes for the tiles to fit into though.

To my knowledge they do not coordinate with Magnatiles, but I have no experience with Magnatiles. Better ask a shop that carries them.

It includes the tiles. It also includes a template card so you can make your own tiles if you want to have extras.

I'm not familiar with magna-tiles, but these have powerful magnets on each side.

HiThe green plate that you can see on top. It's a plate to build on with Legos. Hope this helps. : )

My kids (ages 4 & 9) have only played with Magna-Tiles and absolutely LOVE them. It's well worth the investment because they're made very well & you get a variety of colors, shapes & sizes! I looked up Magformers & PowerClix to see how they compare ... looks like they're only small pieces and they're hollow, too. If you don't mind spending more, I highly recommend Magna-Tiles!

Actually that booklet was inside the box. Maybe you can go their website. Sorry

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

There is no case, although that would be better, but they all fit in the box with everything else,easily. As someone else mentioned there is a clear hard plastic on the cover of the box that came off almost immediately. Not a big deal unless you tip the box over when storing, as then some tiles can fall out. Overall, I love my set and use it often. The box has been sturdy enough to hold up after much use.

These are stickers meant to cover 4 inch tiles. They come with one of each design in a package of four.

Hi. I think the best place to look for "tile-lock" replacement tiles would be to check eBay. I've seen Scrabble "wooden tile" LOTS listed on eBay. Next would be to check the local Goodwill, but that would be a long shot. Sometimes you might come across the game at the Goodwill and if you're lucky, it might have the tiles included. I hope this helps.

Yes! We initially bought the MagnaTiles and wanted more. You really have to look to figure out which tile is which. The colors are slightly different - but only slightly. My granddaughters (and other children who come) LOVE the tiles!

I first encountered these in a preschool class but I agree that, like Legos, the fun grows with age and the more complicated the designs. I would make the proviso that the older the kid, the more magna tiles sets are needed.

I believe there were 8 tiles per package. I believe its in the description. If you have kids these tiles are great!

they were illustrated directions and one large thin paper. look closer at the box. it is hard to tell on the directions that came that it is front and back but went together well. I don't know if you can find them online ..hope you did not toss out any of the box yet
