- The packaging is super eye-catching and really grabs your attention.
- The set comes with a lot of pieces, which is great for kids who love to create and build things.
- The materials used are a mix of paper, polyamide, polystyrene, and ABS, which is interesting to see.

- The instruction manual is pretty basic and doesn't provide a lot of detail, which can be frustrating for kids who are new to DIY projects.
- The materials used are not the sturdiest, which can make the finished product feel a bit flimsy.
- There's a risk of allergic reaction and choking hazard, which is a major concern for parents.
- The assembly process is a bit tricky, even for adults, which can be overwhelming for kids.
- The finished product doesn't look as impressive as I thought it would, considering the number of pieces included.

Editor's Summary
I gotta say, I was really excited to try out the Magic Ball Constructor from Fix Price, but unfortunately, it's not as easy to assemble as I thought. The set comes with 225 pieces, but the instruction manual is pretty basic, and the materials used are not the sturdiest. I'd recommend it for kids aged 8 and above, but only if they have some experience with DIY projects.

Hello everyone 👋! I'm writing a review of the new Fix Price store's novelty: the Magic Ball Constructor. It cost me 349 rubles.
Here's what the packaging looks like:

Here are all the models of the constructor:
The manufacturer is in Hong Kong 🇭🇰. It's recommended for kids aged 8 and above. The materials used are paper, polyamide, polystyrene, and ABS. There's a risk of allergic reaction and choking hazard. Also, don't forget to wash your hands after use. I mean, it's a toy for kids, but the ingredients are pretty scary...

Breaking down the puzzle:
I bought this puzzle for my 10-year-old daughter, but she couldn't figure it out. So, we handed it over to my husband:
Long story short, my husband was cursing the manufacturer, but he still managed to put it together in 8 hours:
The leftover puzzle pieces:
The puzzle pieces are ridiculously small:
The finished product:
I wouldn't recommend this puzzle. The pieces are too small, the materials are questionable, the assembly is way too complicated for kids, and the finished product looks way better in the pictures.
Not impressed.
