Edushape Marbulous Neon Translucent Marble Run 84 Piece Set + 50 Marbles

We bought this for my five year old son for Christmas. I almost returned it because I thought the price was a little high and it seemed like all the five star reviews were in exchange for a discount or a free toy. Well, I got no such discount and I'm really glad I kept it. My son hasn't stopped playing with it since he opened the package. The pieces are sturdy and fit together well. There is a great variety of pieces and he's enjoying seeing how they all work. The design book looks very good but so far he had preferred to invent his own designs (marble sorter is his latest). The biggest problem I see will be keeping track of all the pieces and marbles!

dissapointed

I grew up playing marble works from discovery toys. I got these for my 4 year old son and so far he loves them. They are a bit smaller than I expected and one set I got comes with light (plastic) marbles that glow in the dark. Those marbles have trouble pushing the spinner through, but if you follow it with a heavier (real) marble it shoots them out at great speed.It's been days of non stop playing, and he loves looking at the instruction book to create new ideas.(note)I found these on a deal where I got a discount if I tested them and provided a review with feedback, I reserve the right to alter my review based on experience with the product and to maintain the integrity of my reviews.

I researched lots of marble mazes and ordered this one after reading all the positive reviews. I particularly like that the tubes are see-through so you can watch the progress of the marbles from start to finish. My four-year-old loves this and has fun putting together the various structures with her daddy (the instruction book comes with a variety to make, going from easy to harder). I also love that this one came with lots and lots of marbles. So many kits like this require parents to order additional pieces, but I haven't found the need to augment this one. If you're looking for marble runs for your young child, this is a really fun one!

I have three marble runs for my four year old boy. He loves them all; this one is my second favorite because of the translucent colors. It is also easy to for my little guy to put the parts together without following directions; he can use all the parts or just a few to make his own unique design. The little steel balls are cool too and the wheels add a lot of excitement.The first marble run was complicated but so worth it and the latest one requires no building or thought - just plunk the marbles down and enjoy.

We have all loved playing with this set that I purchased to enlarge another Edushape Marble Run. My only suggestion/wish is that the base pieces be manufactured larger to help ensure a less unwieldy structure.

My five year old son is having so much fun making different configurations with this marble run set. He absolutely loves it. It's colorful and has a variety of different types of pieces for continuous variety.

My grandsons have spent a lot of time working with these. Was fun to get to watch them spend hours building and trying to figure out more ways to direct the marbles through the maze.
