Galt Marble Racer

I bought this for my nephew's birthday after he got hooked on a Youtube channel where this set was being used. It works exactly as on the videos, and has already paid for itself in a few short weeks. While there's absolutely no complaints with the product, I do have a strong complaint with how Galt has made this very difficult to obtain in Canada - my options were to have it shipped to my hotel in the US while on a business trip or pay international shipping charges from the UK that were more than the cost of the set! Makes no sense to me why Galt's logistics couldn't just ship it to me from the US, which would have cost substantially less...

Made from a good strong plastic, easily put together, and is pretty sturdy. Might have to make a few minor adjustments as with any structure you build. My 12 year old helped my 4 & 7 yr old build the picture on the box. The 7 year old was also able to build his own. My 4 year old liked watching the marbles roll down.

This is a great marble run set even though it is slightly overpriced. It comes with 3 unique funnels which are flatter than the normal ones we get on marbulous or marble genius. The pieces are solid colour and it features some interesting pieces. I would recommend this track for marble racers or families. The pieces are easy to assemble and it comes with enough connector pieces.

Purchased for 6yr old son. good product. building racetrack is left up to your imagination. It would be nice to have more of a step by step instructions for basic set up however. overall happy with product.

Don't listen to the reviews saying this was difficult to assemble. No there isn't any step by step instructions but gesh people its color coded, if you can't match red, yellow, blue there is no helping you. The pieces were mildly thick plastic, nothing seemed flimsy, the molding was smooth no flashing or anything to get cut on. Assembly was easy enough my 7yr old and I put it together in about 5 minutes. He's having a blast with it.

It's so loose it hinders ability to stay together during play. It collapses throughout play. I bought in April for my son's birthday in June so I can't return. Do not recommend. We have a few other marble kits and this one is absurdly loose. Parts don't fit well.

My 8 year old son got this for Christmas! It's better than some of the cheaper versions out there, but doesn't stick together as firmly as the Discovery Toys brand (we have the vintage ones). That said, my son still loves this set, lots of fun unique pieces. A little tricky to build since all the special pieces are different lengths, but he likes it.

One awesome toy that my son plays with every morning and night, gives us something to do together. He is somewhere on the autism spectrum and speaks a little bit but this gives us a chance to work on something together, problem-solving and accomplishment. I bought him four sets of these so we can make one massive one! Be sure to buy the same brand so that it will fit properly

Excellent Product. There are no instructions as many have said, but there are absolutely NO stability issues. It is simply in the design. THe products work perfectly. What you get in the box: Lots of pieces to fit together. Lots of marbles. THats it. There are two unique pieces that is different from other GALT marble runs, and that is the "racer" start trap at the top, which allows 4 marbles to be released at the same time, and the "finisher trap" which shows you more easily which marble came first, second third etc. It's not a big deal, but it's a nice addition. The key thing is you must start building small. If you've not built a house before, you don't want to jump in and try and build it all in one go...you'll just get stuck and it'll collapse. Much as the kids will want to build whats on the box, start small. Very small. And very soon you'll be able to build bigger. The negative reviews i think have come from people simply not putting it together properly, and getting frustrated with it. Four reviews, all saying unstable...thats due to design of the run by the owner, not the product itself. Grab two "feet" and a connecting piece. Three peices. That's all. Link them up. There ya go. Your first marble run! If you are building it for some younger kids, let them play with it now - its a start, and it will keep them busy while you work on more complext peices! It will be more than stable, as its not very tall, and the feet will be fine. Now grab a third foot, and another running peice. If you want to build a tower, its best to put the feet in a triangle shape to start with, then later you can build your own wacky designs. So now you have three feet, arranged in a triangle, and two running pieces. YOu should be able to put a arble in the top running piece and let it go all the way down. If it doesn't just check the holes and make sure there is a logical path downwards. Each running piece has one side without a hole, one side with a hole, so you always want the holey side to drop into another running piece with the non hole side. Then you can add another running peice to go back onto the first leg. Of course you will need some filler bit to fit in between the lower runing piece and the new top runinng piece. And so on... Once you get used to it, its very simple and easy to do. My 9 year old daughter looves building with it, and has built some very complex runs, and my 2 year old son loves playing with it all too. Both of them have been playing with the set every day pretty much sice Christmas..its a big hit. Highly recommended, and even more fun when you buy another set so you can build more elaborate runs!

Excelente calidad, robusto y muy entretenido. Ademas de hacer el montaje que viene en la caja es muy creativo ya que puedes hacer cualquier montaje, horas y horas de diversion montando y haciendo carreras

Good Product for Child.

This product is great, it has 80 pieces. There are endless options for creating a track or run for the marbles. This set has a cool starter for four marbles and a fun podium finish for the marbles. This set has more moving parts than the larger set. The package includes marbles. It is easy to put together and pull apart and every creation is different. The plastic is sturdy and when a tower is created it stands up well. It is a great toy for both independent play and playing together. We did end up purchasing another set which has a few more pieces: James Galt 1004105 Super Kugelbahn The age range of this toy is wide, ranging from 3 year olds and up. It is very popular with my child and his friends, and I will admit that it is equally enjoyable for adults too. I would recommend this to a friend.

Cercavo una pista per biglie per mia figlia di 4 anni che l'ha chiesta per natale. Ho cercato tra tanti prodotti e alla fine ho scelto questa di galt. Ho preso quella da 80 pezzi, e sono soddisfatta. Tra i tantissimi regali ricevuti a natale questo sta andando alla grande. Mia figlia si è appassionata subito dei percorsi e dei vari pezzi. Inutile dire che da sola non è ancora in grado di creare giri difficili, ma una volta costruita con me poi la usa di continuo. Gli incastri sono molto duri per cui una volta stabilizzata non cade facilmente. Consiglio l'acquisto. La scatola è grande e di effetto. Consegna perfetta
