Great toy with a few small flaws
This toy is a huge hit with my four-year-old daughter. Yes, it is a little flimsy, but if you take your time helping your kid engineer a more stable base, it's totally acceptable. The plastic isn't the best quality ever, but for the 101pc set, the price was more than right. Granted, our child is easier on her toys than most children her age, so that affects our perception. We gave this to our daughter for her fourth birthday and, so far, she enjoys this toy about 1000% more than the big, expensive castle toy based on a very icy Disney movie that all little girls are nuts for lately.

Lots of fun.
My 3 year old girl loves this. I have to assemble a maze for her. But then she can play for an hour or two at a time putting marbles in. It can fall over easy. You need to assemble on a hard floor, not carpet. I just create the mazes I don't try and make one based on the pictures. Usually after being out a couple days we put it away in the closet for a month or two. Then it's like new everytime we get it out. I generally don't want her playing with the marbles unsupervised so I don't leave it out all the time.

Too flimsy for a child
The product was very disappointing. Parts were flimsy causing the structure to be unstable and come apart easily. On on such collapse one of the small (butterfly shaped) connectors broke meaning that some designs could no longer be made. The instructions consisted only of a parts list and a picture for each design. Since the design is three dimensional and the the picture only two it was very difficult to figure some of it out. I would recommend you no longer sell this product.

Nostalgic fun, but...
A lot of fun, but a complete pain in the behind to assemble. There are no directions to craft the various structures, and the larger ones are terribly unbalanced and prone to falling over/breaking apart. Not worth the price.

Hours of fun
Hours of fun and really uses the kids building and maze skills. Just have to make sure you have a nice large flat area to play on. Watch out for those marbles. They can get lost easily.

My 4 year-old loves it!
I bought this for my 4 year-old for his birthday and he loves it! My husband and I love it too, and we're all enjoying playing with it and coming up with different configurations.

worth the money for the better brand
Good quality. I was impressed it had 16 real marbles rather than the cheap plastic ones. Pretty strong plastic. My 5 year old loves it and it's very happy with it. I'm glad we went with 102 pieces since lots of little parts count as pieces. That was a good amount!

great toy
My 3 year olds love this. They build, test, and run the marbles. This has a good number of pieces and allows for a lot of creativity.
