Is there a difference between the 62 piece Designer set and the 62 piece set (Not Designer)? thanks

There is a difference in the shapes and numbers of each of the pieces offered. SAME GREAT QUALITY! The 62 pc. set has: 20 triangles, 30 squares, and 12 hexagons. The 62 pc. Designer set has 20 triangles, 22 squares, 14 "tall" triangles, 4 diamonds, 2 trapezoids. The shapes my children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews use most are the triangles and the squares because there are more of them BUT that being said they can build so many MORE things using those in combination with the tall triangles, trapezoids, and hexagons. I have purchased both sets and, then, because Magformers also sells packages of multiple pieces of the same shape I've bought a package of the trapezoids, a package of hexagons (they come in the size included in the set as well as a larger size), a package of the tall triangles, and some of the new shapes they have just come out with this year. Doing this makes it possible for more children to play at the same time OR to make larger projects. Just a side note, each set comes with lots of great pictures of things you can build with the set which I laminated (so glad I did!!!) The pictures give the kids more ideas and it is amazing to see the creative things they come up with! I have had most of my Magformers for more than 5 years and not one has ever broken or lost its magnetism. They are expensive but I figure they will be a toy I can hand down for generations. A couple of months ago Amazon had a great sale on them which was almost 50% less than what they are on the site today. Five years ago I started with one of each of the Designer set and the NotDesigner set and then just watched for good sales and added to my collection gradually over the years. Other stores in your area may carry them and have occasional good sales you can watch for. My large container of Magformers is probably the most expensive toy in my family room BUT IT IS THE MOST PLAYED WITH by kids 3 to 60+ I hope this has helped.

Looks like the only difference is the price. The set itself looks identical to this. I'd contact the seller if you want to be very thorough though.

It includes the head covers. The flexibility in the definition of "piece" here is a little misleading, as it's uncertain how it would compare directly to other 16-, 14- or any other piece sets. It would be better if they just said "8 club set, with headcovers" or whatever the final count is.

I'm not sure. I bought the set on a recommendation from a friend - I haven't seen the pieces individually elsewhere.

I believe that the pieces are interchangeable. I purchased this piece and it worked well.

Sky mall is probably saying that the 4 pieces is two sets. I would go with. Amazon

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with both of these sets. The Skrooz was a Christmas gift to my nephew.

I think the main difference is the 20 piece set style is a bit better quality; it's shatter-proof and tempered glass. I wouldn't buy them on amazon though...if you can, costco is a better option. I got my 20 piece set for around $35 there.

Dear A-60: I believe they are the same. I am so happy with my set that I bought 2 more sets for my 2 daughters in law,and then my cousin ordered hers.Just in our family we got 4 of those!Don't we like them?

Between these two, I prefer the Super Brain Set. The main reason is that it includes pieces from a few special sets such as the Carnival Set and the Power Construction Set.

No, It sounds like that is for 2 sets of six. I received two sets for around that price. The price has gone up about $6 a set since I ordered last part of August,2013.

This is just for 2. The big set of 36 is well over $120+; the set of 24 is usually around $100.

Sorry, don't have an answer to that question, but I LOVE the set I have...thinking it's probably the classic.

I purchased the set as is from Amazon. Contacting the seller might be a better source for the information you seek.

Hi Dan,There is no difference in the end product. Sometimes you will see a different part number because of how it is packed, how many are packed at one time, packaging styles, etc. In this case you are getting the same product regardless if you purchase 40146 or 40148.
