110 Pcs Marble Run Set, STEM Building Blocks Toy | Marble Maze Race Track Construction Kit for Kids Ages 3-5 4-8 8-12, Educational Birthday Gift with Glass Marbles

I loved the idea of this marble run. We have purchased several other Duplo compatible marble run sets over the years. When we first bought one they were really only just a couple of options and the options didn’t really come with a lot of fancy pieces or anything. Now you can get all kinds of cool gadgets for it. Anything from multiple different kinds of ramps to animal shaped pieces and now elevators even. It keeps getting better and better. FYI the xylophone piece Pictured is from a company named “grabhappy”. My kids absolutely love it, with all of the variety we have now and all the different pieces they can literally spend hours building these runs and I love it. They get to use their imaginations and creativity and problem-solving skills and they get to do it in a way that is fun for them and rewarding when they finally get done with their creations and they can drop the marbles down. There is in my opinion only just one notable drawback to this product which have me taking away one star.. This set uses the same plastic marbles that every other set uses I believe. They are not good. They come disassembled in halves, you must smash them together yourself.. which is ok, but they break back in half and the prongs break on them and they cannot be used anymore. Also important to note is that is very difficult to find replacements for this. I have contacted the manufacturer of every single one of these sets I bought and here is how each responded: Temi toys never responded. Wx hobby, a company that makes a really neat but unstable electric elevator lift for these sets responded Simply by letting me know these marbles should be fine. I happen to disagree. “couomoxa” (the maker of this set) said they could not replace the marbles because they do not have the ability to do that, but offered to send me a returned set with marbles included free of charge because of the hassle of the broken marbles. I thought that was very nice and because of the amazing customer service response I’ve added back the star. Another company named klobroz does sell a replacement pack! But it also includes other pieces I don’t need. It was $10 and has 6 marbles and some run pieces too. Not bad.. but also they had very low stock and I’m not sure if they will replenish the stock or not. Time will tell. I went ahead and bought two packs. It had been two years since I bought their marble run set, they did not offer to replace the marbles for free but did kindly offer to give me a $5 refund credit for the trouble to apply towards the purchase of their replacement pack. Good company response. A company named “grabhappy” told me they cannot replace the marbles and did not know where I could find the exact marble, but they did offer to compensate me in the case of broken marbles. It is important to note that I just bought that set Within the last few months and I am not sure if I contacted them in a couple years after the marbles break whether or not they will go ahead and compensate me or if they would just say sorry it has been too long. Either way their response made me feel like they would stand by their product and I appreciated that so I am very grateful. If you are going to buy this set then know that you may not be able to replace the marbles so keep good track of those as well. Klobroz does sell a replacement set but being it’s low stock right now and no other replacement set exists, it may not be for sale forever. Although the drawback of broken marbles had me take away a star, the great customer service had me add the star back and I cannot recommend this set from this company enough. Thanks My kids spent hours on this, building and using their creative imaginations and keeping themselves busy and they love doing it. It fits really well with Duplo‘s so if you have a good stock of Duplos than this and other of these sets provide really cool creative opportunities to expand on your collection and have a lot of fun.

Great fun! I thought i was missing a part but you have to dig through all of them to find it.

I thought this would be easier for my 3 year old to put together than a traditional marble run. It's blocks so should be easy, right? However, the design instructions are very small and not child friendly. Definitely requires adult assembly. As others said, the image is VERY misleading. It comes with 2 base plates which are about 5"x9". The finished marble run designs are about 12x8" and about 10" high. The image makes them look like 3 feet or so. The marbles are plastic balls that are very light weight. Real marbles work better with most of the designs. Also the designs are not very stable. Push down on the wrong block and it will come crashing down. I've found adding extra blocks from my son's current duplo blocks stash helps this. You definitely have to build the run on a solid surface. Carpet or a table top with any cushion will not work! My son loves it and tries to make his own runs but doesn't know how to elevate them. It's a great learning tool but just be prepared to help your child, a lot.

I will buy more of this product. I like the uniformity. The parts click into place as expected. The challenging part is assembling a sturdy structure. This takes a degree of forethought that will likely stump the toddlers. My seven year old enjoys it, and though my 2 year old isn't an experienced builder, he enjoys rolling the balls down and observing. The product successfully merges the traditional building blocks with the fun puzzle skill of a marble run.

This was one of the best toys I have bought in a long time, it is perfect for your children and older grandchildren. There are hundreds of ways to put the blocks together so every time is like playing with it for the first time. I very much dislike one use toys as we all should. No one likes buying a toy only to have the kids toss it aside after a day or two. Now to the blocks themselves, they are very colorful, you get a great amount and the blocks were sturdy. I feel they are quality made and the balls are super cute with little faces. My boys love building with it and it was so entertaining I caught myself playing with it alone. Honestly, I have no complaints about this toy. I think it will be a forever toy in our house. so far I have bought two sets, just so you know they can be combined to make larger runs and even races, what kind does not like to race again someone else, so if you are looking for a good toy you have found it.

Got this marble run set for my toddlers birthday. The picture in the ad makes it look giant, it is not that big. I liked the set and the instructions were easy to follow. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because it is not very stable. My toddlers bumps it once and the whole tower tumbles down. I wish it was steadier then it would be 10 stars. Still it is a fun toy, if you have a kid that is more careful. I would recommend ages 4+.

Compatible with name brand large size building blocks. They actually fit very well. There are good instructions for building. The seller also sent updated instructions for using the bonus animal pieces. It is a little complicated for the younger kids to build, but our 9 year old jumped right in and had it done in no time. This set has plenty of pieces to make it fun on its own. If you have other blocks, older kids can come up with their own unique builds. Our younger kids love sending the bells down once it once it is built. Sometimes they use a few pieces to build big slides or water slides for their other toys. I how that starts them thinking about how the pieces work together and is the basis for bring able to build actual runs for the balls.

My 5 year old absolutely loved this marble run!! After getting all the pieces out we noticed one piece was damaged. I didn’t want to return the whole set back to Amazon just for one piece so I messaged the company to see about getting the one defective piece. I was informed that they couldn’t send just one single piece so they offered to send me a new set free of charge. I received the new set today, everything was perfect with the new set!! My son is even having more fun with all the added pieces!! Would definitely recommend to friends and family!! Only thing I’d mention is to keep track of the marbles! We already lost 2!! And I’m not sure if you can purchase replacement marbles!

I purchased this product to go with our existing Duplo blocks and the are pretty much perfectly compatible. I couldn't tell the difference between Duplo or these bricks. My son (4yrs) thoroughly enjoys building with the tracks and we hope to purchase an additional set when back in stock.

Good product - but not enough marbles - and cant see where to buy more!?

The pieces do not click as good as duplo so when a kid touches it, it falls apart easily. If you want this to last a few generations or few kids to play, it is better to invest in original brand Hubelino. It is more sturdy and even more fun for kids to play. It was a good idea to try if our little one likes the concept of it.

A mi niño de 3 años le encantó. Armamos juntos los modelos y como los bloques y partes son grandecitas, me puede ayudar muy bien.
