Not as good as hubelino, but good fun, especially if you vote conservative.
This product is great value though a little poorly made and poorly thought out. Main problems are:- Some of the track pieces are ever so slightly misaligned (poor manufacturing tolerances). If you spin them round 180° then they don't fit together quite so well. It's not a problem that prevents use but it is a mild irritation.- The track pieces are only short 2x2 lengths, there are no medium or long length track pieces as other sets like "hubelino" have. This makes bridging a pain. Instead of using a single track piece to bridge wide gaps you have to make a bridge with multiple pieces, which is unnecessarily slow and frustrating.- all of the pieces that are designed to turn and descend at the same time, all turn to the right (see picture). This is the biggest frustration as it is quite limiting. The problem is made worse as there are very few descending only pieces (otherwise you could use them in series with flat turns to go in any direction you like.Beyond that the product is great value and has some really fun pieces to experiment with. My daughter, myself and my wife have had great fun with it but we found it necessary to extend it and solve the limitations by buying a hubelino set too.

Great item for my kid, highly recommended!
I have been looking at this item and similar one like it in several places, but the last one I ordered was very flimsy. After returning the last one I purchased this one and was not disappointed, the plastic is very good quality and fits perfectly with existing Duplo sets. It was delivered very quickly and just in time to use a birthday gift as was very well received by my little boy. Assembly was fairly straightforward and fast and he was enjoying it on the dining table in no time.As it also works with a popular large block brand he was able to expand the set and make even taller marble runs giving home even more hours of fun play.Best price with fast delivery in the UK and well worth the money!

Good, colourful toy, build it before you give it the kids.
The media could not be loaded. I really like the idea of this toy and some of the design.Liked: the bright colours and the fact it fits with Duplo, the little extras like the cogs and crocodile and that the elephant trunk moves with the marble. It's sturdier than other marble runs once built.Disliked: it was a bit complicated to build, the instructions are steep by step and in colour, which is helpful, but the colours don't always match the pieces, which to my autistic brain was frustrating. My daughter is also autistic and the bananas being orange was not acceptable!It's a shame the cogs don't work anything and the crocodile head just sits on top, rather than opening and shutting. Also, there's a little run at the right hand side, at the bottom with interesting pieces on that doesn't seem to do anything. It's it just somewhere to keep the marbles? Maybe it can be used to create a different run? It would be great to have some more instructions to build a different run too. I think my children would find it hard to build a run on their own with this and because it's made of duplo type bricks it may put older kids off playing with it.So, once it's built its great for age 2+ but if you want your children to build it themselves probably better for older children. It will be good to see if my children use it with their other duplo to build interesting things.

Great fun
Greatness provides extra fun for bricks. We managed to build many variants. Even if the focus is on three-year-old children, the entertainment time can last for several hours.

Better than an ordinary marble run
I’m so pleased I paid more for the duplo marble run rather than a cheap regular marble run as I don’t find those very sturdy or very easy for kids to put together. My 4 year old girl loves this. She played with it all day long and hasn’t left it alone since we bought it. My 9 year old enjoyed playing with it too. It is colourful, sturdy and has lots of options, plus it works with other duplo, which we have a lot of!

Missing pieces.. bummer!
Unfortunatelly was sent incomplete, it was easy to tell it was opened... don’t need to be a genious. The two large pcs neded for the fundation are missing, allong with a bag of pieces.. disapointed as I was looking forward to have a go with my 3yo. I gave it one star as I am upset at the moment about the way it was sent.. :: Edited ::Originally 1 star, but the seller got in touch offering a brand new set. (Very nice of them).Gave 5 stars for the rapid response and their good intentions.A new toy will not be necessary. All the best!

Rubbish marble run
Too small, the photo was obviously photoshopped. I paid over £30 when I got this and what a waste of money. Pieces don't connect up. Bits missing. It looks large on photo but it would still look large next to a barbie doll. I brought this for a birthday present in April but on just started to put together today. What with lockdown I haven't seen my grandchilden and they are going to be bitterly disappointed when they see this rubbish given it 1 star because it won't accept none

Its alright for little ones
The media could not be loaded. Its alright for a little while but for older kids I don't think they would get much play from it
