Broke within a few months of use!

I bought this for my son for Christmas and I was excited because he really loves space and Magna-Tiles. Unfortunately, after only a few months of use the shuttle fell apart. The blue cover on the shuttle broke and we cannot use it anymore. Anytime he would try to fly it the front portion of the shuttle would fall off because the magnets were not very strong. The hinges on the shuttle also are weak and have to constantly be reapplied. I was very disappointed in the quality of this product. I typically love Magna-Tiles and their products but this one was not up to its standards.
My 4 yo grandson absolutely loves his space set. However, his 3 yo sister loves it just as much. I cannot relay how awesome it would be to have a couple color options. I refuse to buy another blue one as they fight over sharing the 1 they have. If I get another blue 1, they'll just fight over whose blue 1 is whose. Imagine 2 happy youngins enjoying going on missions to the moon, Mars & the planet that wears rings, lol, in their different color "space ships". We have all the other MAGNAs except the travel sets. Just wish for another color, not even pink, because I'm referring to a boy & girl. Just different colors.
The pieces aren't strong enough to make the items shown on the box - like the rover - it literally doesn't work. Additionally the top of the shuttle breaks off its hinges every time we open it. It doesn't come with a booklet of ideas. We are disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids LOVED this rocket ship - they built it all right away and keep playing with it. It was easy enough for them to figure out (age range 3-6 for my kids) and it pairs well with all our other magna-tiles.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family already owned some MAGNA-TILES, so we were excited to add this set to our collection, and it did not disappoint. My son especially loves to build rockets with his regular set, so he was happy that this was specifically designed to be a rocket. It held his attention for quite some time, bith during the building phase and then playing with the finished product. The little figurine that was included is also very cute! As a parent, I also found it really clever and appreciated that the ship body doubles as storage, making cleanup a breeze. These can also obviously be used in conjunction with any other MAGNA-TILES you already have for further play.
