Transparent Marble Run 43-pc. Set
$19.99
This toy is a great idea. Kids think and experiment until they find a configuration that works. That aspect of it is great. What I don't care for is the brittle plastic. Several pieces cracked the first few times we played with it. And that was supervised play at the table, no rough stuff. Some of the pcs don't fit together easily, and any kind of pressure causes the plastic to crack. We have used lots of superglue and salvaged everything so far, but kind of a drag that it is so fragile.

I bought this toy for our 7 year old daughter, but my 10 year old daughter loves it as well.

Tub of Marbles
$16.99
While the marbles where of all different shapes and sizes, more than half of the marble had wrinkles and/or marks. Some of them had cracks in them. These marbles are not made well. Marbles should be smooth and free of markings (unless, of course, they are intended markings, these markings are obviously from poor craftsmanship). A couple marbles had a flat part. One was flattened and cracked. These marbles are sub par.

MARBLES 100CT BAG CLEAR
$6.06
What can I say? These are clear marbles. Useful for placeing in the bottom of vases to wedge or hold stems of flowers from moving about. Handy and useful, can be decorative if you use colored marbles. In addition, they are approxmatly 3/4 inche in diameter.
