  "question": "Which building sets are compatible with blocks from other brands?",
  "answer": "Magna-Tiles Cars 2-Piece Expansion Set: Testing found near-complete dimensional compatibility with PicassoTiles and assorted generic magnetic tiles, but magnet strength and stability varied by brand. A three-storey tile tower stayed attached while the chassis moved across hardwood, although it swayed at a sudden stop; connections were more stable with original Magna-Tiles than with some thinner alternatives. Other listed sets state compatibility only within their own brand: Magna-Tiles Arctic Animals 25-Piece Set: The maker says every piece works with all other MAGNA-TILES sets; Plus-Plus Construction Building Mini Puzzle Blocks, 70 Pieces Tube: The listing says it can be mixed and matched with any Plus-Plus set; Lego 10698 Classic Large Creative Brick Box: It is compatible with all LEGO construction sets.",
