Years of Fun - Learning & Education

Our little one has had this track for over 3 years and took it out again a few days ago to play with a new pal. Long lasting and retains its interest.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Questionable Purchase for Seniors

Good quality matches ball tracks

A gift for my grandson, he loves it. Much better quality than the smaller marble sets which don't even have real marbles. I bought a multicolor set and a blue set but returned both poorly made. This set is a bit more expensive, but worth the money. Bought a set for my granddaughter.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Great toy, has cool details not found in small sets

Bought this for my 5 year old but I think I might like it more than him. He had a smaller Galt Marble runway set, which was fun, but that set didn't have some of the cooler pieces. My favorite parts are the spinning parts and the double-sided slide that lets you branch the balls into alternate lanes. To be honest I would like to have some more double sided slides to build even bigger, more complex rides with more branching. Maybe I'll develop an obsession.

Pros
  • Fits great for me
Cons
  • Pretty ok

Great toy! - Education and training

Great toy! We have an older set from Galt that we really liked too. The newer version is better: it has bigger swivel bowls that are absolutely amazing, a double-sided slide with a ball-changing part (you need to carefully line up the old double-sided ball for it to work properly), and bases. (Legs) from which (unlike the original) it's not that hard to pull the balls out. There are only two shortcomings: Firstly, the new parts do not match the old ones perfectly. (They can be connected, it…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Reliability

Requires patience for balloon racing

This is a great toy, when put together (if it lasts long enough) it's a lot of fun. The problem is getting together. There are no manuals in the kit, only the picture on the box and the color parts included do not exactly match the picture. I can agree that there are no instructions as I enjoy teaching my kids problem solving. However, the parts don't stick together very well at all. It falls apart easily. This is very frustrating, especially when it's finally assembled and ready for balls and…

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Weight

High quality! See Learning & Education

I bought my son's version of this toy first from Toys R Us for my son for Christmas. It was so awful we returned it and bought this one. Yes, this one was a bit more expensive, but it was worth it! This is a high quality plastic that is easy to put together. The balls are made of real glass and can be easily replaced if lost. We are building it with my 2.5 year old son (who can only help a bit). I predict it will take years to grow to this point and I am absolutely confident that the quality…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

My 5 year old's whole smile

I looked at many marble runs on Revain before settling on Galt's Mega Marble. The video won me over - the rails looked smooth and the plastic looked thick and strong. This set did not disappoint. My 5 year old son plays with it for hours creating new fields and sending all the balls down again and again. The marble slides smoothly and with sufficient support and the pieces stay together. We've even done runs over them and they haven't collapsed. It comes with a booklet with a few samples, but…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Revainrating 5 out of 5

definitely worth it =)

I was looking for a marble walkway that I thought could be durable and easy to assemble as my 3 year old daughter used to watch these things via YouTube. I read the negative reviews about Galt Marble Run but decided to buy it anyway as the positive video reviews speak for themselves. The packaging is excellent, the items came in a protected form. Also, I'm currently based in Qatar (Middle East) and the package arrived very quickly, which to my surprise within a week =) Whoever says it's…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete model
