My greandson played with one of these at school and wanted one. It is a great toy. He can redesign it from what the directions show to please himself. He loves that. Money well spent! I can always find great buys from Amazon.com. I order all his Legos and just about everything I buy from them. They have great prices and I do not have to pay shipping. I Love Amazon.com!

My daughter had this last year for Christmas and she loves it! It’s for sure a big hit for kids of different ages. Highly recommended!
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. It’s great to have a toy that I don’t mind playing with (EVERY time I’ll be coming over). I’m seriously considering buying one for myself just to have around. It’s great fun!
I bought this toy for my daughter on something of a whim and am I ever glad I did. My husband and I are always looking for toys that are educational and fun rather than the cheap junk that is far too prevalent these days. This set is a great way for kids to explore designing and building structures and to be introduced to physics. What’s more, it’s a toy that we actually all enjoy and as such it offers ample opportunity for us to play and spend time together as a family. My one gripe with the toy is that the yellow looped pieces can be bent out of whack, which results in the marble getting stuck in the piece. With a bit of gentle bending we can usually get it back into place but these yellow pieces are rather more fragile than the rest of the pieces in the set. Still, this is a superb toy and one of my four-year-old’s favorites–not to mention a favorite for me and my husband as well. In fact, we like it so much that we went onto the manufacturer’s website (an Italian toy company, which I also consider a plus) and found many other sets that looked like a great deal of fun. We’ve told family and friends about it and have shown it to some of them by way of recommending it and everyone seems just as fascinated by it as we are.
This is a great building kit with lots of fun. At first when I opened the shipping box, the box inside seemed quite beaten up. I opened it, many parts inside was loose, as if someone had gotten this particular product and then returned it. However, I proceeded to count every part and found that not only was all the parts there, there were even some extra parts! This is a Christmas gift for my grandson, so at this time, he hasn’t seen it yet, but even I am anxious to help him put it together and have fun!
