Next in line

MagNext is the new magnetic construction system from Mega Brands. Comprising tough plastic pieces (with built-in magnets) and shiny metal spheres, the system has endless possibilities for creative play.

The different shapes of the brightly coloured pieces (there are Dual, Quad and Tri Bar designs) open up a wide range of possible builds – and kids can either follow the instructions or let their imaginations take over.

A key feature is the “living hinge” functionality, which lets you transform quickly from one structure to another without needing to start from the beginning.

MagNext is available in a variety of sets, including starter 12-piece packs for around £4.99, 25-piece sets for around £9.99, 115-piece sets for around £29.99 and the MagNext Magna Case (including 100 special parts) for around £49.99.

MagNext is suitable for children from six years of age.
