which 62 piece set would you suggest to be better, the designer set with more of a variety of shapes or the one with only 3 shapes?

The one with more of a variety of shapes gives more options of things to build.

If I had to do it again, I'd get a set with more than just 3 shapes. Don't get me wrong, this was a GREAT set, even with just the three shapes. My 10 year old played with it all of Christmas day and has since picked it up several times since. But I think it would be even more fun with more shapes. With that said, I don't think you'll go wrong with either set. More pieces and more shapes will only make the set that much more fun, but the set is fun in and of itself. GREAT gift!

We have a set with 3 shapes as an addition to Rainbow 30 piece set. For my 2 years old it's more than enought. My 5 years old kid doesn't play with Magformers.

We have the one with 3 shapes. I think the ones with specific designs are nice too, but my kids prefer to build in thier own with out having to build something specific.

The shapes of pieces, you have the pointy triangle on the 144 and other shapes that the 112 pieces doesnt't have. This video shows the 144 pieces: http://youtu.be/esk9stjX-KI And this one is the 112 pieces: http://youtu.be/TjFFWDOwIWc ;)

This is the better choice in my opinion, but you might be one brush short in either of the sets because of the finishing powder. I'd go for this one plus a kabuki brush for the powder.

I don't know what the other set is. After getting your question I searched for a newer set and didn't find anything that was different from what I bought. I will say that I really love what I have. There is a five piece set that has parts that do not interest me. The three pieces (roller/fettuccini/linguini cutters) are perfect for me.

You can make almost any shape and the extension provides much more room. We bought an extension and it assembles very easily and you can make a very stable square or rectangle with a good amount of room for play. We liked this so much we bought a second set and extension. It's well made.

I believe the other set is more complex, perhaps for older children. I chose this set for my 2 year old very inquisitive grandson.

Not sure. But this set includes a booklet that shows several shapes and how it is assembled.

I'm not sure because my son doesn't use all the pieces at one time. He likes to make different configurations with the pieces.

I'm still happy with mine. I have 6 molds (3 sets). Much better than the molds that are just rubber (they end up with flat spots where the sit at the bottom).

I agree with the other comments. You can do a lot more creative building with this set. I actually bought it by accident thinking it was the same as the other and trying to expand my grandson's building options. He loves the new pieces with wheels and windows.

Hi Dleef,with this set you only can build one model at the same time, there are not enough pieces to build two or more models simultaneously.

Six different shapes can be chosen by clicking on Tools and then Piece Size or by clicking on the puzzle piece icon on the Tool Bar. If you increase the percentage of fun shapes, that will also increase the number of shapes in the puzzle.

Absolutely! You can do so much with the 32 piece set. The larger sets you can obviously build bigger and taller but the 32 pieces is definitely a good set if you aren't sure if you will like them as they are pricy (worth it IMO). Hope this helps!

Yes, the more variety of Lego sets the better. I bought this set and another similar to it for the different style pieces. My granddaughters have enjoyed them and are building items without plans just for the fun of creating. They then take them apart and try other ideas.

I had 2 large squares, not 4. There must be different configurations of 60 piece sets. I bought mine elsewhere.
