Fat Brain Toys FA178-1 Marble Run Multi-Coloured

Stopped working pretty fast. The automatic stop/release tabs stopped consistently functioning within a couple uses. Disappointing for such an expensive product.

This is awesome. Kiddo loved watching the balls move from one section to the next and then starting over. Only suggestion is to make the pieces fit more securely together. It keeps coming apart when she pulls on it at all. I may super glue it together. Other than that it’s a superb toy.

The mechanism that releases the balls stopped working within a week. Hopefully I just got a dud cause this ball drop is way too expensive to not function the way it’s supposed to

I bought this last year for my one year old and it was her favorite toy. Here we are a year later and she still plays with it almost daily. It was so easy to assemble. Great size and super fun for the little to play and durable enough for them to force balls down without breaking it. Fat Brain toys are always so loved in our house by all. They keep the littles entertained for quite awhile while us moms need to cook dinner.

My daughter absolutely loves this. One ball starts at the bottom and one at the top. When a child lifts the ball at the bottom, it releases a gate and all the balls roll at the same time. When a ball reaches the bottom, the weight of the ball causes the gates to remain up. The child then has to pick up the bottom ball and place it back on top for the cycle to continue. Its a great distracting toy. My only problem is the way its set up. Its very easy to put together. But the physical shuts used for the balls to roll down don't secure in place very easily. Essentially I would say that we're paying for the brand name. $50 is a little high for the plastic. I've also seen a couple times where the gates don't life but it is easily fixable. All in all, I love it for my daughter. She's 2 and plays with it daily.
