Hi all, i'm looking at investing in some magnetic polydrons, as my minded children have taken a huge interest in the local nurseries supply of them! Habe looked online and found a classroom pack for around the £90 mark, has anyone found these anywhere else cheaper? Was hoping for a bargain! :D

Could buy the starter set and add to it later but would prefer to just get a large pack

Thanks in advance

Mine liked them too I looked everywhere and couldn't find a bargain amazon, eBay etc.
Held I buying them on account of the fact I keep buying things they like then I get them and they have zeros interest after a couple of goes lol.
They seem to hold their value. Have you got a local toy library that may have them?

Ahhhhh I see. Yes my daughter has these at her school to. Just didn't realise that this is what they were called. What about some magnetics as a cheaper alternative? Not quite the same but may turn out to be more useful in the long run. X

We don't have a local toy library which is a shame, have other magnetic toys but they play for hours with these.

I think I may just get a starter set and add to it each month until ive got a decent amout if I can't find a bargain! They do hold their value well and I know I'll get my money worth out of them :)
