Evaluation comments:
“We are big marble run fans to begin with, so the added fun of a motorized component took it to the next level. The novelty of a motorized corkscrew elevator really impressed my boys.”
“There are some great loops and attachments that I haven’t seen in other marble runs. The opportunity for creativity and engineering is endless. Our marble run came with 150 pieces which made for great building.”
“Well-made pieces. Set comes with a large bag to put the pieces in for easy cleanup.”
“My kids had a lot of fun with the marble run designing the way that they wanted it set up and changed the design a few times as they were playing with it to maximize efficiency. This set kept them busy for a few hours.”
“Good quality, colorful, plastic pieces that are not flimsy.”
“The electric elevator was definitely their favorite piece on the set and much more fun than if they had to manually load the marble each time.”
“The marbles are all uniform in color. The plastic parts are thick and sturdy and fit together very snuggly.”
“My kids played with this for over an hour when we first opened it, and continued to go back to it the following days. They continued to add on, or rebuild as they went.”
“There is an attachment that allows the marble to alternate directions which made for a fun alternative path for my boys to build.”
“My boys definitely loved the elevator. At one point they disconnected the entire marble run to just watch the marbles drop from the top of the elevator back down to the initial loading zone.”
