What is the difference between this and the 144 smart set (other than the # of pieces)? Thank you!

The shapes of pieces, you have the pointy triangle on the 144 and other shapes that the 112 pieces doesnt't have. This video shows the 144 pieces: http://youtu.be/esk9stjX-KIAnd this one is the 112 pieces: http://youtu.be/TjFFWDOwIWc;)

The Smart Set includes some shapes that the 112 piece does not. The Smart Set includes isosceles triangles, rectangles, super triangles, super squares, and the die accessories. I believe that the rest of the pieces are the same, except more in the larger set. The value per piece tends to be best with the large sets though it is a large financial commitment at one time.

The larger set has shapes that the smaller set does not have. I don't think you could go wrong with either set, but I recommend that you start out with either one of the larger sets. I purchased a 20 pc set at first to see if our grandsons would like magformers, and it was a huge mistake as they both LOVED them and so we did not have enough pieces for them both. I have since invested in many sets and it provides hours of creative fun for them......a great toy in my opinion.

Casio FX115ES Plus is more convenient to use compared to TI-36X Pro Scientific Calculator as far as my experience with both calculators.

The 550 is 30000:1, The 650 is 50000:1 There is a big difference in PQ of these two sets.The 650 being better.

The set has clubs 2 through 9 and PW/SW combination. At least that was in the set I bought two years ago. It may have changed.

Don't get me wrong, the 144 is huge, I mean really big, but that being said I'm glad I went with the larger size myself. Especially because my projector doesn't zoom in or out by much. So the bigger screen lets me have more room between the projector and screen.

I have learner, standard, and jumbo sets. The only difference between the sets is the number of blocks and the number and size of the plastic windows. There are no 8x8 blocks in any of the sets - there are 4x4 blocks and 4x8 blocks. Sets with more blocks come with more, and larger, windows. Hope this helps.

The trough on the $34.99 one is a little bigger, as is the actual board itself. However, (in my opinion), the differences between the two products are extremely tiny/insignificant. Plus, I don't think the $34 one comes in other colors besides black.I have bought so many any of these; for my 5-year old as well as for multiple gifts. The cheaper one is definitely the way to go!!

I don't see anything other than the box size different. If you look how the pieces are stacked in the box, you will see what I mean. Both have 10 puzzle boards (5 - 2 sided boards). The less expensive one will do just fine, that's what we have for our daughter and she loves it. My daughter absolutely loves puzzles though, so I don't know if my opinion will help when talking about puzzles! We have puzzles (panorama) that adults can't do and she does them....If your child likes puzzles, your child will enjoy this one!

I don't know the feature differences between the units, so I can't suggest a direction based on that. I usually fall towards buying the most up to date platform since this is an investment and you likely will have it for some time. An extra $100 is probably not significant given how you will spend even for the DS1512+. I can easily say that the DS1512+ will easily keep up with 2 users. I have 4 in my household, iTunes library, photo library, Movie and DVR library feeding 4 Rokus (streamers). Granted all is not active at once but never has the DS1512+ bogged down, except when I ask it to trans-code a movie on the fly. It does not have enough CPU for that, by design.

I don't know the difference. I have the 8893 and it performs very well. I cannot imagine what more "bells and whistles" one would need.

What is the difference between the Zen GB and the Zen MX 8 GB except the price?

The main difference is the updated software to the 2014 smart hub. Also the hardware is better, the TV is quite faster!

I had 2 large squares, not 4. There must be different configurations of 60 piece sets. I bought mine elsewhere.

I am unsure of the pricing. It looks like Blick only carries the 1 set option. The only company who is currently carrying the 2 set option is "Prime Inc." You can see this by clicking on the set 2 and seeing that states above " Sold and ships from Prime Inc."

We have the 6 panel set. It came as separate connectable pieces that snap together. I would bet the 8 pc models are the same and would be easy to fit together. One end of each unit has the male connector while the opposite end has the female connector. So I wold bet 16 pieces would fit together fine. You would have one humongous play pen!

No. I was very disappointed! Who really wants to pay that for ONE incasement. I've found others that were in the same price range...just as nice, but came in a set. I should've known better when it didn't say set of 2 as most do. I won't make that mistake again and I type in either set or cases to help myself not jump and buy something without paying attention closely. Hope this helps!
