Marble Track Aug 14, 2008
This was a gift for my grandson. It is one of his favorite toys! I appreciated the quality of this toy and the simplicty of it.

Great toy, takes patience Mar 08, 2008
This is a very high quality toy. Just make sure you and your little one have some quiet time and space and patience to play with it. Not conducive to playtime with babies or toddlers around. The pieces do not fit together in any way, you just have to set them up just right. That's okay, it's not a bad thing, I think it helps build all kinds of motor skills and concentration. It is really fun when you get something built and you get to start rolling the marbles. Probably best for 5-10 year olds.

 Lasting Toy Jan 19, 2008
The set is well made and the blocks were bigger than I expected. Children at first might think its just another block set but when the marbles get rolling their attention follows fast. A bell bridge and a "klicker/klacker" track are the two special pieces included. Made in Germany, it's a bit pricey for the 42-pieces, which is why it gets 4 stars instead of five on the overall rating, but for a toy that is likely to last decades beyond the flimsy plastic junk everything else is, this toy is a worthwhile investment. I hope soon to buy some more accessories such as the domino track. The Quadrilla Marble Railway, Twist and Rail seems to be the main competition.

creative, good for a broad range of age Jan 12, 2008
The construction set allows a multitude of different paths the marble can roll with the interchangeable parts. The different blocks of wood are cut very precisely, so the construction always works if put together properly. With a little imagination, it is easy to integrate foreign elements such as drums, bells or glasses to show additional effects. What might be considered a minus is that there is nothing to connect the parts to one another, which means that the power of the rolling marble hitting a block will displace it after some time, unless fortified by other blocks. On the other hand, you may also think of it as part of the learning experience.

Wonderful with endless possibilities Dec 10, 2007
Our whole family plays with this. Our children, 3 & 5, love coming up with various combinations, and this set has enough variations in tracks and drops to keep it interesting. We had also considered the plastic versions [including one by Lego], the Quadrilla, and the one on Back to Basics, but this one won out because of its variety-- short tunnels, a zig-zag, a couple of bridges, and a bell. It is sturdy and well-made. One thing worth considering-- smaller children will need help because pieces don't click together as plastic mazes do. My children have played with plastic mazes before, though, and got bored with them (they seem slow).
Haba also has many additional pieces, and while they are imaginative, I do find them to be pricey. We've made up our own variations out of toys we have though!
