on the shapes side, do the shapes come out and are able to be lost?

Yes. They are in a little bag, but they are loose/unattached. They connect using a very small magnet.

No, the ends wont come off and then go back on. They appear to be glued on.

Yes, it will retain their shapes, however it will create a better shapes if you put the eggs in the molds before the eggs get cool down. They work great. You can use them with rice too. My kids love them. They are cute & fun. Good luck!

yes .. there is are basic shapes (like a puzzle outline) that the pieces fit into. Kids loved it! Great item.

I'm thinking you mean "Is it possible that some of the pieces be flipped?" If so, then yes. It can happen on the final edges and the final two corners when solving. This is called a parity. You will need to look up the special algorithms for them.

You pinch the sides and pull it may not come off easy! Be careful not to break it!

It depends on the shape you are interested in and if you want to include covers or not. Not including covers would allow duplicate pieces to stack within each other (though I think only the mid-size rectangles have duplicates).

If you mean do they fall out of the holder they don't. The open end is on the inside next to the rings so they stay put. I have used many many of these for my pictures and they work great.

It definitely keeps its box shape. It will fold up when empty and you push the sides in to flatten it. It is square, not organically shaped.

My daughter says it is not too lose. You would have to pull on it to get them to come off. She really likes it.

Yes, each piece comes off for easy storage and transport. They are help together by a spring/ball system. You can barely see a little shiny ball in the stock picture.

If you put jello on one side, you will get the shape, like an ice cube holder. If you want the 3D effect, then you can set one side first, then the next and hope that they stick together when you clip the already settled side to the liquid side that's about to settle (keeping the second side down, of course; these are not leak-proof!) But the best way would be to keep them open and use them like ice cube holders to get two jello shapes from one mold...

The ends are interchangeable, but the corner piece is not pie shaped. It is a rectangle and reaches all the way into the corner if you place it in a corner.

Yes. The sides come off as soon as you take it out, leaving you with three separate pieces to transport, all laying flat.

Yes. They can be taken apart as many times as you want and make any shape you want. They are better than any other playing clay but at the end of the day, please don't leave them ANYWHERE!!! Do make it a point of putting them in their box or other restrictive area. They loose shape on their own.

Yes. The shape is maintained by a fan, and when one sits the air flows out if necessary.

Yes, it's easy to cut any of the shapes. Save the extra, too. I make them last as long as I can.
