Super-duper fun.by M. Covington (December 28, 2006) 66 of 66 people found this review helpful
I was initially concerned about the durability of this product since similar marble runs have been rated as low-quality or wobbly. HOWEVER, my concerns were quickly put to rest when my niece and I began constructing towers on Christmas Eve!
The pieces fit together easily and the bases are fairly sturdy on an even surface (we didn't have much trouble on the somewhat uneven carpet either, however). There are a ton of pieces (moreso than a lot of other marble runs) and there is an interesting variety of spirals, swirls, vortex pieces, spinners and slides.
My niece is 4, and really enjoys putting the marbles in to see where they go (bonus points if they shoot off to nowhere, in her opinion).
This set is designed for older kids if they're going to play on their own. HOWEVER, with adult guidance my 4 year old loves it and does very well with it...and mom and dad approve!
Bonus: This is just as much fun for adults to play with as it is for kids... Read more

Creative fun!by Mom of twins (August 28, 2006) 40 of 42 people found this review helpful
My 6-year old got this toy for Christmas and loves it! You can build marble runs from the guide, or create your own. It's easy to use, allows kids to build jillions of different runs, and they can really get creative building with this. This is one of his favorite toys!
Terrific marble run for the 6 yrs and up setby Illinois mother of 2 (January 4, 2008) 32 of 33 people found this review helpful
I got this for my then 6 year-old last Christmas. This set contains the right number of vortexes, spirals, spinners, bridges and tower pieces to be able to make some pretty cool and complex runs without being overwhelming. If your child is on the younger side, and this is their first time with marble runs, they might need a little help. It's not that it's difficult, but when you open the box and just see a bunch of plastic pieces looking at you and an instruction book with no words it can be a little intimidating. Help your child with a simple marble run until they are comfortable and then they'll be off and running.
The plastic pieces fit perfectly together and you don't have problems with a too loose or too tight fit like you might have with a cheaper quality toy. The only 'tricky' pieces are the spirals. You have to use the little yellow guys to support them or they won't work. Also, these are the only pieces that bend, and if you don't have them at the right... Read more
