Connetix magnetic tiles, reviewed independently
The current benchmark. If you are buying one set to last from age three into primary school, this is the safest money you can spend in the category.
We are independent: we do not sell magnetic tiles and no brand pays for placement. If you buy through links on this page we may earn a commission, which is how the site is funded. It never changes what we recommend.
The facts
- Origin: Australia (founded 2019 by two Australian families; manufactured in China under Australian quality control)
- Tier: premium
- Magnet strength: very strong
- Construction: Magnets encased and secured with rivets; bevelled edge design that resists scratching and adds build clarity
- Compatibility: standard footprint; connects with Connetix, Magna-Tiles, Kmart and kin
- Typical price: around AU$169 for the 102-piece pack (price-controlled, similar everywhere) (prices move; always check current listings)
What it gets right
- Strongest magnets of the widely available brands, so tall and complex builds hold
- Riveted construction seals the magnets in, which matters for safety
- Australian company: local support, warranty and replacement parts
- Pastel and rainbow translucent ranges that parents genuinely like the look of
- Compatible with Magna-Tiles, Kmart and most standard tiles
Where it falls short
- Premium price; a big collection adds up fast
- Stronger magnets mean mixed builds with weaker brands can fail at the weaker tile, not the Connetix one
Who should buy it
Families who want one set that lasts years and holds big builds.
