Hubelino 420145 Marble Run Starter Set- Compatible with popular building block system- 85 pieces- for Ages 4 and Up (Made in Germany)…

A superb product - very ingenious to produce a marble run that is completely compatible with Duplo. The quality of the pieces is excellent, and this set includes enough marble run track to create a range of different configurations. If you've already got a lot of Lego or Duplo you might consider a set without the white blocks that are used to build support towers, but even with our existing Duplo sets I still found that I needed the ones included to here to get the marble run really high!

Great variation on the marble runs out there! This has slightly larger balls than marbles and great for those making a transition from duplo to Lego as it provides added challenge and interest to Duplo. Just one thing to note, The instructions to build you have to upload on the iPad/phone from an app as no paper copy is provided.

Better than most imitation Lego, having a quality feel. Unfortunately the pieces don't stick well to the base plate, they keep popping off, which is strange as they stick to each other ok. The other annoying thing is the colours of the pieces in the instructions are different from those in the set, which is really confusing for my young son when he's trying to find the pieces to build one of the suggested runs.

Hours of fun to be had - by grownups as well as kids. Great exercise in thinking ahead and visualising what will happen when marble runs.

Excellent product. Have had hours of fun. However it is not for the faint hearted as it really stretches your brain.

I researched A LOT of marble runs for my near 2 year old but many reviews pointed out issues with quality and sturdiness. I cannot recommend this marble run enough. It's compatible with Duplo so you can create endless structurally-sound runs (great on all surfaces and for travelling). There are different interesting pieces included and colours (adding to the education and play). It may seem expensive but this is a quality marble run that is going to last years offering open-ended play. We are already looking at getting an extension kit as every member of our house is addicted.I've knocked off 1 star for the following (pinickety) reasons:- Although building pieces are provided, you will get more from this if you have more (which is where Duplo comes in)- similar to the above, a baseplate is provided but it's quite small. You can obviously build without a baseplate or use duplo plates (which are a different width to the hubelino plate). We've made a lot of runs with the hubelino baseplate but would look to buying extra duplo baseplates in the future for building out.- we discarded the two 'H' branded blocks - they served no purpose in construction

We bought this for our son for Xmas, aside that the product quality itself is great one of the biggest feats of it that it is compatible with lego duplo, our kids can now build ginormous tracks and buildings for them. We love this kind of toys for them training theor construction skills and imagination. We can just suggest this for your kids if they love building things.
