 Great Rube Goldberg fun November 22, 2007

Over the years I've purchased 4 of these sets and combined them together in one big set. Right now I have it set up in the lobby at work. It's three sections wide and about 7 feet tall.
I was actually thinking of getting a few more sets and setting it up so that multiple tracks are supplied by balls from both ends. Making it even taller would also be cool, but I'd probably need a step ladder to work on it then.
My only major complaint is that the makers of this toy have not added any new widgets in years. I'd buy another set this instant if I could get some cool new widgets.
The ball return could also be designed a bit better so that it didn't clog up as much. And, the motor might need to be made a bit more powerful if I make the set 8 or 9 feet tall. I'm not certain whether it would handle the load (but, I haven't tried, so perhaps it would).

This was a Christmas request from my 7 year old grandson. My son reports that he spent a good deal of Christmas day getting it set up and expects the room to be in constant chaos. Sounds like it is a great success.

I bought this for my son who is almost 8. It is really neat. It's a little difficult for him to put the parts together, but he is on the young side. We had a fun time trying to figure out just how much speed the marbles needed in order to make it around the loop-ty-loop. Great lesson in velocity! It does take patience, so I think you need to know your child well enough to know if it's right for him/her interests. I think I nailed it for my son. He always loved building marble towers and K'nex, so I see this as a favorite toy for years to come!
