Product description
You submitted a sample of Magnetix X-treme Combo identified as style #2828, which is a magnetic construction set consisting of 150 magnetic squares, triangles, bars, and balls packaged inside a case. The magnets are colored metallic gold, blue, green yellow, black, purple and red, and are designed to adhere to one another. The set will provide frivolous amusement for a child constructing various geometric structures while introducing them to the properties of magnetism. Although packaged together, the attaché-style case is not the normal or usual packing for the toys, nor is the case itself a toy.
