eh it's ok: marble runs

honestly i wanted to love this because my 4 year old was so excited we got it. It wasn't as great as I hoped and we only played him a couple of times. It is difficult to assemble and confuses children. I love the marble genius sets, but this isn't my favorite addition.

Pros
  • sleek design
Cons
  • easy maintainability

Great fun for the whole family

We've expanded our marble walkway and this is a great addition. Although my favorites are sounds and lights. However, they are all great and provide great imaginative play for children and adults of all ages. Nice to have these wonderful additions to a marble jetty.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • A few little things

Super fun marble maze!

I bought this for my 2.5 year old nephew. He needs help building, but he loves marbles. We got very creative with our designs to create marble walkways that last minutes. Entertains for hours. I just wish he had more support for stability. It tips over easily. Usually someone watches the tower so it doesn't fall over. Otherwise it seems durable. Comes with lots of marbles.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Good idea, bad execution

Funny idea and pretty cool when everything works, but there are problems: - Very cheap hoses have to be pressed into the joints, which is tough. You had to screw them on. - It must be assembled exactly like the picture, otherwise it will not work properly. No flexibility - hard to get everything plugged in and working properly, hardly worth the effort. Neither can the child.

Pros
  • Cool stuff
Cons
  • Secret

Difficult to understand even for an adult

Our kids love their marble maze and we thought this would be a nice addition - we were wrong! The tubes are fragile and can be easily crushed without adult supervision. The connection between tubes and balls is difficult to make properly. Once the pipes become part of a big maze, things get really unstable due to the tension and pull of the pipes. The hose must be recycled for this product to work.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Periodicity

Complicated, unstable and frustrating.

That's not great. I thought we'd get more colored tubes, but there aren't any in the kit - and we need TONS of those same tubes. I can't find these tubes individually anywhere and I don't understand why. Very frustrating! I love this game and building with my son who is almost 5 years old. It did not work. Very complex and difficult to integrate with other parts. I agree with others, these parts are a headache. They also make the whole structure very unstable. :(

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Bad connections are very delicate

Although the pieces connect well with other brands of marble walkways, the pieces included in this supplement do not connect well together. In particular, the ends of flexible hoses do not fit well into spherical plastic parts. If you push them too far, they block the balls. If you don't push them deep enough, they will come out. In addition, the ends of the tubes must be slightly gathered into a bundle for insertion; When this bundle is down, it blocks the marble. Not a reliable set.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Many things

Poor Design Best in Marble Runs

This toy has a set of balls and tubes. The tubes must connect the balls. However, the pipes do not sit correctly in all areas. Only the yellow "end" balls have the correct size holes for tubing. In all other areas there are two design flaws: 1) The holes are too small to fit the tube, forcing a bend at the end of the tube. 2) Insufficient clearance within the ball to prevent the tube from being inserted far enough to engage. The combination of these two problems results in loose connections and
