I really love playing with this set because I love the rush of marbles sprinting down to the bottom. They are easy to put together and stick on with stickers. Highly Recommended! Great Brand Too!!!

TO THE POINT: If you have a Marble Run Enthusiast in the house, you will absolutely want the unique pieces in this set. Also, it is fully compatible with Mindware's sets and close in quality.Specifically, you want these four unique pieces to turn a straightforward marble run into a real race where any marble has a chance to win:• Racing Starter (the starting gate where all your racers can be launched simultaneously)• Racing Round 'n' Round (normal looking vortex but made with holes for placement of the deflector pieces)• Racing Gauntlet (not a fully unique piece, but with the included deflectors it's a must for any race)• Racing Base (the finish line. When stickered, it shows who got 1st, 2nd, etc. Not absolutely necessary, but I wouldn't race without it now that we have it)It also comes with a cardboard piece with holes to place the marbles, setting up your tournaments. This is not required to make your own racing tournaments, but it certainly helps. The cardboard is very thin and will warp if it isn't already warped out of the box. Still, we tend to use it.In most marble runs, the first marble down is the first to finish. It's physics. You can dress it up all you want but you are not racing marbles if you don't have some of these specific pieces where the unexpected can occur. The 'gauntlet' piece I mention about (I call it the pachinko), is actually available in other marble run sets, but using the deflectors that come with this set ramp up the variability and uncertainty in what might happen when the marbles come rolling through.So which version of this set should you buy?Well, the booster pack gives you one of each of the best pieces... However, I really think you'll want at least 2 of the vortexes. Remember, these pieces, thanks to the deflectors, are where anything could happen. A marble joining the vortex late in the race may be the first to hit a deflector, sending it straight into first. So I would recommend the 125 piece set, or the 200 piece set (which comes with a third vortex and some other parts).We already had a couple of the larger Mindware sets, and I did purchase the 200 piece racing set here, so we just picked out a bunch of duplicate pieces and gave them to a family member to give them more options for their own marble run set.I still maintain that Mindware's Marble Run sets are the best quality with nice thick plastic and a tighter fit with the tube pieces... But if racing is your thing, the specific pieces in Marble Genius's Racing Set are an absolute must.

Update: Marble Genius messaged me directly. They’re aware of a small number of sets with missing decals and flags and are workikng to remove them from inventory. They’re shipping me a replacement set and we’ll hope it has the missing parts included!My son loves his marble run, and this racing set fits exactly into what he enjoys pretending with his marble run. However, it did not come with any flags or decals, and the you visit the manufacturer support link on Amazon’s product page, it takes you to the Marble Genius website which just says “opening soonâ€. Not being able to obtain replacement parts will probably mean I’ll have to return this item. I’ll update if the question I posted in the Q&A gets any helpful answers.

Got this as a gift for the kids (5 and 2 years old). I still need to help them put it together, as it's still too complicated for them to put it together, even for the 5 year old. I have other marble run sets and this one is their favorite because it's geared towards racing (the finish line piece for the end keeps the marbles in a single line so you can tell which place each marble finishes). I also noticed that the support pieces that go on the bottom of each pole are a bit sturdier than with other marble run sets. Great toy!

Great product! My son has always liked marble run but the racing element of this set is fun for the whole family. It allows you to do a marble tournament and determine the fastest marble. You can also use it to make decisions. So fun and durable. Fits with other marble run products too. Allows 5 marble to compete at one time.

Marble Genius is the best marble run brand! The step by step picture directions are easy enough for kids to follow while building the track! The best track is the racing track! Get the Marble Genius glow in the dark and light up marbles it makes it more spectacular! If you buy a cheaper brand you will be frustrated because they don’t come with instructions and are not sturdy! We have a few different tracks and the racing one is the most fun!

This unique set made a great gift! It can be hard to find a set that can race, this has it it! Lots of fun, just prepare a good sized area to play with it.

Mit dieser Kugelbahn können unglaublich viele Variationen gesteckt werden. Bleibt immer interessant, da immer neue Möglichkeiten gesteckt werden können.
