5.0 out of 5 stars Super-duper fun., December 28, 2006
This review is from: Quercetti Super Marble Run Vortis, 224 Pieces (Toy)
I was initially concerned about the durability of this product since similar marble runs have been rated as low-quality or wobbly. HOWEVER, my concerns were quickly put to rest when my niece and I began constructing towers on Christmas Eve!

The pieces fit together easily and the bases are fairly sturdy on an even surface (we didn't have much trouble on the somewhat uneven carpet either, however). There are a ton of pieces (moreso than a lot of other marble runs) and there is an interesting variety of spirals, swirls, vortex pieces, spinners and slides.

My niece is 4, and really enjoys putting the marbles in to see where they go (bonus points if they shoot off to nowhere, in her opinion).

This set is designed for older kids if they're going to play on their own. HOWEVER, with adult guidance my 4 year old loves it and does very well with it...and mom and dad approve!

Bonus: This is just as much fun for adults to play with as it is for kids. It's great to have a toy that I don't mind playing with (EVERY time I'll be coming over). I'm seriously considering buying one for myself just to have around. It's great fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative fun!, August 28, 2006
By Mom of twins (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quercetti Super Marble Run Vortis, 224 Pieces (Toy)
My 6-year old got this toy for Christmas and loves it! You can build marble runs from the guide, or create your own. It's easy to use, allows kids to build jillions of different runs, and they can really get creative building with this. This is one of his favorite toys!

2.0 out of 5 stars Would be awesome if it worked, June 11, 2008
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Quercetti Super Marble Run Vortis, 224 Pieces (Toy)
First off, I have nothing against the seller or Amazon. They're probably great.

As for the product itself, I don't know where these good reviews are coming from as they clearly weren't using THIS product. We returned this abomination after a handful of failed attempts to create a structure that would work properly and that was stable enough to last for more than 10 minutes. If you enjoy being frustrated, this is the product for you. If you don't, look elsewhere. (Note: We started with a cheap, hand-me-down marble run we had is FAR superior. I just wish they still made them.)

For those who may doubt the veracity is my review, here are a list of SOME of the problems with this product:

* Despite all of the pieces APPEARING to be the same height, the heights of the columns you build will almost magically be slightly off when you mix different types of pieces together.

* The spiral pieces are flimsy and the marbles often get stuck trying to go down them. (see first bullet)

* The vortexes, a key selling point, are also nearly impossible to get to line up the height appropriately so you're left with a wobbly, unstable structure. I attribute this to the use of soft plastic.

* Most of the ramps, curves and spirals all use a green piece that slips over the end to form a piece of that column. While this provides great flexibility when building structures, it introduces additional instability because the green pieces form a C shape instead of being a complete circle. You will press down lightly on one column to make sure the pieces fit only to collapse the entire structure because it has so many weak points.

To summarize - this is a great idea but an abysmal implementation.
