> Idk if the quality has held up

I can vouch for the quality of modern magnatiles

The problem now is that there are a zillion knock-offs sold everywhere, both retail shops and online. We don’t buy them, but the kids get them as gifts. They all have something different, from the magnet positioning to the outer dimensions, presumably to try to dodge some patents. These become the weak point in bigger builds or throw off the dimensions in ways that add up and cause early collapse.

I’ve been quietly removing the gifted knock offs and replacing them with real ones because it makes the experience less frustrating.

We’re starting to have the same problem with LEGO now
