Skyrail Suspension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this toy for my son for Christmas, and he loves it. We've built several structures together, and I see his mind beginning to grasp ideas like gravity and momentum as he experiments with it.
I just wish the darn thing was more durable! The first time we set it up, several of the cable-hangers snapped apart. They are very delicate and fragile, and that doesn't jive with a six-year-old's sometimes clumsy fingers. I need to contact the manufacturer for replacement parts, as parts of the structure need the hooked cable clasps (tieing them on interferes with the marble).
I'd still recommend it, particularly if your child can handle delicate parts without snapping them.
The original box didn't hold up long; we have a small rubbermaid tote that we keep all the little pieces in. There are literally hundreds of tiny pieces, so you'll need a way to keep them all together once the box dies.

Skyrail Marble Run Roller Coaster 250-pc. Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My five year old and I built the first designs together and since then he's been off and running, on his own when I'm not able to join him. He doesn't always build designs that work but that is actually a good thing, as now he's talking about how the marble didn't have enough momentum to make it through a dip in the track to the next high point. When I initially saw all of the smaller pieces, I worried that it would be too fragile for a 5-year old but the pieces are bendable and so fairly forgiving of structures falling over. I suppose eventually they'll accumulate damage, but I anticipate we'll get a lot of use before that happens.
My husband and I have both had a lot of fun with this toy too--it is easy and fun building really cool roller coasters with loops, spirals, crossing paths and lots of twists and turns.
My only complaint: I wish the blue, circular bases that support the track were heavier or designed so that they could be weighted with sand. As taller supports are built, they have a tendency to tilt and become unstable. We've solved this by using our wooden blocks to weigh them down.

Quercetti Super Marble Run Vortis, 224 Pieces Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was initially concerned about the durability of this product since similar marble runs have been rated as low-quality or wobbly. HOWEVER, my concerns were quickly put to rest when my niece and I began constructing towers on Christmas Eve!
The pieces fit together easily and the bases are fairly sturdy on an even surface (we didn't have much trouble on the somewhat uneven carpet either, however). There are a ton of pieces (moreso than a lot of other marble runs) and there is an interesting variety of spirals, swirls, vortex pieces, spinners and slides.
My niece is 4, and really enjoys putting the marbles in to see where they go (bonus points if they shoot off to nowhere, in her opinion).
This set is designed for older kids if they're going to play on their own. HOWEVER, with adult guidance my 4 year old loves it and does very well with it...and mom and dad approve!
Bonus: This is just as much fun for adults to play with as it is for kids. It's great to have a toy that I don't mind playing with (EVERY time I'll be coming over). I'm seriously considering buying one for myself just to have around. It's great fun!

Quercetti Skyrail Rollercoaster with Elevator, 200 Pieces Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Look closely at the picture on the box. You will see that there are strings that are connecting the middle structure to the furthest away part of the rails. The reason for this is that the rails are not very rigid and without the strings, the rails will deflect so much due to the weight of the marble that they will fall off. The instructions have a few designs that the Skyrail can be made into, and due to the rails not being that rigid, there is not much more you can do with it. It might be a good toy for those that can follow instructions well, like to put together a lot of parts, are satisfied with the few configurations, that are careful enough not to break the parts, have the patients to adjust the strings properly, and are gratified with the sound of the marble going around. If that does not describe the child you are getting it for, then it will likely be constructed a couple of times and then sit in the corner and occasionally be switched on for a few minutes.
