5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun & Outstanding Engineering, July 18, 2006

This review is from: Quercetti Marble Run with Motorized Elevator, 177 Pieces (Toy)

Gave this to my 6 year old for his birthday. I helped him to construct it from the clear (no reading) directions along with my 10-year old daughter. The pieces go together flawlessly - the engineering of the plastic is superb. The elevator works as designed and the battery pack (2xAA) connects via a short cord - very convenient. He has already spent many hours playing with it!

This review is from: Quercetti Marble Run with Motorized Elevator, 177 Pieces (Toy)

We had previously purchased the Quercetti 80 piece marble run and had a lot of fun with it. Want to build more complicated runs we got the 180 piece with the motorized elevator. We thought with 180 pieces we could build much larger marble runs, boy where we disappointed... As soon as I got the package from Amazon and read the outside of the box I felt duped in the count of 180 pieces counts each link in the chain to make up the elevator , by the time you count all the parts to complete the elevator the marble run isn't much if any bigger than the 80 piece, it just has an elevator.

This review is from: Quercetti Marble Run with Motorized Elevator, 177 Pieces (Toy)

My son really likes his marble run - especially the elevator! I'm so glad we spent the extra money on it. It's very easy to assemble and both my kids have a lot of fun working the elevator and watching the marbles in the vortex. It seems pretty sturdy (needs to be re-leveled at times), although a 1 year old can easily destroy it if they get the chance. (I found that out when my neighbor's 14 month old caught hold of it) So, if you have other little ones, keep it out of their reach for that reason and because of the choking hazard with the marbles. My only real complaint is that the directions didn't come with more layouts. (We did come up with our own that worked quite well though!) Overall, great educational toy to have on hand. Stores easily in its box.
