Review on Assorted Finish Marbles Shooter Players: Optimize Your Search! by Seth Waldron

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great marbles but it's a shame some of them arrive broken

This set of marbles has a wide range of colors and overall they're pretty good. The problem is that the balls have to be round in order for them to work the way the balls are supposed to work. So one of the two small/big balls arrived broken, so it has a flat side. Flat side marble is not bueno. One of the smaller balls was also broken. I'm less disappointed with small broken marbles, because there are a lot of them. But there are only two shooters/bigger balls, so we really only have one now. Disappointing. We have many fun uses for these balls for my kids ages 4 and 10 and they are mainly used for marble walkways, both homemade and store bought. Two of everything defuses the conflicts between the kids, and they're now fighting over the only smooth, working shooter we have. Maybe the manufacturer can think of a better way to pack the balls so they don't break in transit. . One suggestion is to wrap the bundle in shrink wrap so the balls don't move at all during shipping, lest they bump into each other and break. And then put some bullets in it to protect the whole package from bumping and breaking. Since these are spheres, they are made of glass and therefore need to be packed more carefully! Until then, the manufacturer should simply add 2-4 additional balls to the set if they break. I would happily ask the seller to send me a new shooter and small ball to complete this purchase (and my kids will be less likely to argue) but I don't see an option to ask them to do so.
