I bought this toy for my 4 year old son and he played with it for hours. Actually it kept my two older boys (6 and 8) busy as well, with no fighting. It was good money spent.

It only has one review, u weren't nervous to buy it? I usually only buy things with at least 100 reviews preferably 1000.

Also what is the robot part of it?

Magna tiles
Menchies
Legos
Wooden blocks
Cars and trucks

His favorite toy (1.5 boy) is currently his toy box. He'll empty it out halfway, sit himself in, and spend hours entertaining himself in there Very Happy

Perplexus. For the older ones, not the 4 year old. I don't think I've ever seen anything non electronic that engages more kids for longer than this. there will always be some kids who are engaged by some things - many can do Lego for a while but not everyone - but this is my universal winner that nobody can resist.

I agree with this. I didn't buy one in many years though. Do you have a good one that you can link? Not all of them have great reviews.

We have the original and epic. Both big hits. I also have a random generic one that didn't take off as well so maybe you get what you pay for or maybe I just had bad luck.

There's one that looks cool where the two sides twist in different directions or something, and I heard from someone else that it was not as fun. Didn't try it myself though.

My son’s favorite toy is magnatiles , second is lego. Third toy food. But nothing that he will play with more than 15 -30 minutes, his attention span isn’t that long.

Is this an advertisement? Doesn’t look like such an exiting or unique toy

With only one single review about a 4 year old...
But I wouldn't want this thread shut down. It's a good idea of a thread. I'm always on the lookout for good toys.

I see it sold in Walmart for $13 called Shimele magnetic transforming robot.
I tried linking it it didn't work. Also from different sellers on Amazon with a few more reviews some of them saying that the magnet is junky and of poor quality.

I didnt report but it does seem suspicious because it has basically no reviews and I cant see my kids playing with it for more than twenty minutes
