Review on Mindblown Marble Run Pieces by Discovery by Scott Welch

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Teach me to read reviews first.

This toy taught me how to read reviews before buying a toy. I bought it from Meijer because it drew my attention to my 26 year old husband. He loves something like this and when I saw that you can rebuild it in different ways I was so excited. It literally took hours to put together as the parts are made with such precision that nothing will break and if you make a mistake putting parts in place. together you'll ruin your fingers even more. The base wobbles and doesn't sit flat on the table, the hooks don't grab the balls properly 99% of the time, the wheel is unsteady and difficult to turn, the ramps are incredibly difficult to assemble, disassemble and take apart. Additionally, the instructions are difficult to interpret as the layout is isometric and the elements are stacked on top of each other once you reach the second scaffolding layer. This is something a 6 year old can't build alone. I would recommend buying it to almost anyone. I wish it was easier to disassemble because I'd love to get my money back from Meyer so I can buy a LEGO or whatever.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
