Marble Run Transparent

Unfortunately this is the only marble-maze our ToysRus carries. I recall this toy from when I was growing up and it was thick/sturdy plastic parts. This model has vibrant color pieces, but they don't stack well & some don't fit. It wobbles/leans even on hard floor. Cheap plastic marbles included. Almost $30 on this toy? Not worth it.

Bought this for my son's 4th birthday. We opened it this morning and have played with it on and off all day. We have set it up and re-set it up in different ways and he can't get enough of it. He said it was a cool toy. I did buy an extra bag of marbles to go with it figuring we would lose some. Easy to assemble in your own designs but also easy to copy the images on the box - be aware though, there are no instructions in box. It is a smaller set so great for first timers.

It takes a bit of thinking to get it together to get the most run from the marbles but that's the whole idea of it. Wish there were enough pieces to make a variety of different runs.

My first opinion of this item when I opened the box was that it was cheap. Bright and colorful but the plastic is thin, flimsy and I don't feel it would last very long at all. [...]Toys R Us, however, did have a great item for the same price by Imaginarium with twice the parts and of good quality on the shelf. My daughter loves it. I wish I had gone to the store to begin with.

Fairly easy to put together - with parent help. Plastic is not that thick, so care needs to be taken when putting it together otherwise the plastic will crack. Many combinations possible. My sons like watching the marbles move through - transparent tubes are great.

Got this for my 6 yr old...he hasn't stopped palying with it for 2 months straight. He loves to actually see marble travel around and construct new designs over and over again. Wish I had purchased this sooner. Will be getting this over and over for friends B Day.

My son (age 7) really enjoyed this toy. So did I, really. It sparks creative thinking as well as logically thinking with the way that he had to set it up and discover different directions to put the ramps that make the marbles go. He could use some of the ramps or all of them. Be careful though because the plastic, while sturdy enough to hold the marbles and stand upright, could easily be broken if stepped on or ran over with another toy or say, a wheelchair. I make sure he plays with it at the table and make sure he picks up all of the pieces. It came with 12 marbles, but one of them was shattered into little pieces when it arrived which he thought was a little disappointing but that still left him with 11 marbles to play with so he was happy.

It's a cheap marble run with an emphasis on cheap. I should have spent more money on a wooden one, so it's my fault. In this case, you get what you pay for. The kids like playing with it, but it comes apart easily and will break the first time it's stepped on.
