 Marble RunSep 14, 2009
By D. Brooks
Pieces are fairly sturdy, treat them right and they aren't that fragile. My son loves to run the marbles and watch them race through the track. Good toy, plenty of pieces to make a variety of runs. Overall a good choice.

 Good buyJan 09, 2010
By Love to Hike
Was looking for a sturdy plastic marble run to buy my son for Christmas (he will be 4 in a month) and decided to purchase this one after reading the reviews. Great product, it's sturdy, made of hard plastic, fairly easy to put together, real marbles, and enough flippers and funnels to keep him entertained. The first time my son tried putting it together it did fall apart on him, but it was his design, not the product itself. After a few attempts he realized that he needed extra support on the bottom if he extended the run out. Rate very highly for it's educational value, cost, and durablility. Added note: The pieces were laying on the floor and he stepped on them...nothing broke.

endless funJan 20, 2010
By S. Suzuki
We bought this product through a fund raiser at my 3 1/2 year old son's school. He LOVES it! He brings it out everyday and he and his father build a different route each day. Endless possibilities! It really promotes thinking skills as he designs, builds, and tests each route.
Although the set came with a variety of pieces...plenty for a starter set, finding extension sets for it has been difficult. I do wish there were different additions and accessories for it.
I highly recommend the product and would buy it again without hesitation.

Fun for everyone!Nov 26, 2010
By kimmycakes
I bought this marble run for my niece and nephew for Christmas in 2009, who were 2 1/2 and 4 years old at the time. They both absolutely loved it and were highly entertained by putting the marbles in the top and watching them go down and shoot out the bottom and spin all over the wood floor. It's a great toy in concept but it has a few things that only make it 4 stars instead of 5 for me: It is not easy to put together a "good run", even for an adult. You have to think of a strategy as some of the pieces are deadends and so the marble will not go through, making this run a better toy for older kids who can put it together themselves. Another thing is that the pieces are plastic and once you start building the run higher, it starts to teeter and can topple over very easily. You have to treat it gingerly once you have it assembled so it doesn't fall apart. I spent a good deal of time trying to design a good run that would be sturdy. The kids got a little impatient waiting for me. But at the end of the day, it is a very entertaining toy and they have experienced much joy in playing with it, despite its few "flaws". I would recommemnd it.

Buying it AGAIN!Oct 16, 2010
By Love this toy
I bought this for my son when he was 2. He is now 10 and he STILL gets these out to create and play with the numerous ways to make the marbles go faster. I am now going to buy a second one for my neice. I hope she loves it as much as my son.
A must buy for all kids.
