Gifts2UMarble Run Toy, 130Pcs Educational Construction Maze Block Toy Set with Glass Marbles for Kids and Parent-Child Game

Kids have a lot of fun with this.

It's a gift for my grand son........order came fast and the price was great

Decent for the price. Would've liked better set up instructions

I used to be a children's librarian in Vermont, and I LOVED our marble run. It was tall, sturdy, and had enough pieces that I could EASILY build a 6 or even 7 foot track with multiple towers. Maybe my biggest hang up on this item is that that's where my expectations were at when I purchased this. I spent about $20 on this marble run (I think the price has increased $1 or $2 since then) post-holidays December 2020. I probably should have known better than to expect a 7 foot masterpiece for $20. That being said, getting what you pay for isn't terrible. The pieces are thin but sturdy enough- I received one broken tube piece in my kit. There's also one tube piece that at first I thought was broken but is maybe just intended to be a window tube piece, because the breakage is clean and at least looks intentional. However, this piece is also unusable because however they cut it made the connection all messed up so it doesn't fit with any other tube piece. So 2 broken tube pieces out of 52, not too bad. Other pieces included are as shown in the item listing EXCEPT the little yellow accessory pieces, like the wheels and turners. Those come in their own separate bag, and each accessory only fits on to one specific slide piece each, but good luck figuring out which ones- the instructions include no words, just some blurry pictures of completed maze set ups, so you have to figure out which accessories connect to which kind of tube based on those pictures. Don't worry, I got it eventually, but any sort of lay out of included pieces probably should have included it. The highest (reasonably sturdy) run is maybe 3 feet tall, tops. Realistically, I've built a two foot tall run and that seems to be a better breaking point for how tall it can be before the marbles start getting stuck because the tower is moving around too much. Lastly, I have no iea why the listing has a picture of a baby on it, because these marbles are TINY. Like, realistically, no one under the age of like 6 or 7 should be playing with these, until the child is old enough to NEVER stick anything that isn't food in their mouths. These marbles are even tinier than regular ones and I can imagine pose an excessive choking risk. The box states ages 4 and up but even with vigilantly watching a child like a hawk, these will pose a SIGNIFICANT CHOKING RISK until they are well and fully into the stage of not sticking toys in their mouths (or their noses, for that matter- these are also small enough that a determined child could absolutely get them in their nostrils, no matter how small).Aaaaaall of that negativity having been said- I think you also get a decent amount for what you pay for, despite it's short comings, admittedly maybe against the high standards I had unwittingly set for myself. Once you do get the pieces together, they're sturdy and snug enough that the marbles pass through the tubs without getting stuck (as noted above, some less sturdy structures tend to make my marbles get stuck in the slides and some other accessories) and you can easily build a 2-foot tower without a problem. The tubes and accessories connect well but take apart easily. Plenty of marbles that you don't need to worry if you lose a couple (unless you have animals or children that may choke on them). Comes in a large box with pieces originally all in separate pouches but the box is plenty big enough to store them all in once the bags are open. Marbles come split into two dime bags.All in all, you get your $20's worth, which is both a bad and a good thing.

Grandson luvs it. Good for autism

Marble Works is a proven classic that will be here forever. This knock-off is lucky to last a week. Everything about this is disappointing. Not all of the pieces even function. The gravity wells are the worst, failing to drop the marble almost half the time. The 360 loop loses the marble most of the time. One of the gated ramps came broken. The tiny marbles are unsafe for children of any age. The instructions are horribly drawn, and not for any cost saving reason. The product will NOT work for young children, as it must be put together by an adult to make it work, and a small child using it will cause enough shift of the loose junctions to cause it to fail to drop the marbles. This could have been such a good thing, but it is so poorly manufactured that I will not be looking to buy anything else from this company.

Very let down by this toy. I got it for my son for his birthday. He has a bunch of marbles already because he's been wanting a marble track for a while. I I got him this one for his birthday and yes I see it says that it comes with marbles included, but like I said my son has plenty of his own. We finally open it today only to realize that you can ONLY use the marbles that come with the marble track. You CANNOT use your own marbles on this track. It's purposefully made to fit only their marbles through the holes and on the tracks, no others. Not even the regular- sized marbles that you can find in the store. These marbles are SUPER tiny. I mean smaller than a dime! I just find that to be such an inconvenience, its almost like they are forcing you to only use their marbles on the set. So now my son has all these marble of his own that can't even fit on his new track.

My grandson likes marbles and loved this!!
