Review on Fischertechnik Dynamic Building Kit Piece by Troy Drake

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Marble loom in action

Here is a video of our 4 year old playing with the marble loom. He loves it so much, it's his new favorite toy of all time. It took me 4 hours to build this continuous work. There are over 550 pieces in this set! A child younger than a teenager will likely need help setting up as there are slight differences in some parts; You need to look closely at the step-by-step 3D drawings to choose the right parts and place them in the right grid slots. I almost bought a Dynamic XL (>1250 pieces) but I'm glad I went for this smaller one as the XL would have taken too long to build. It was really fun to build because the parts fit together smoothly and solidly. A set in typical Made in Germany quality, which I really like! This kit comes with a handle to move the ball jack. I'm also thinking about buying an extra XS motor kit that will allow the lift to run on a 9V battery.
