## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Gecko Run Marble Run Deluxe Kit revolutionizes classic marble runs with flexible, nano-pad-mounted tracks that attach to any smooth surface, enabling vertical and complex builds without bulky supports.

## Description

Product Description Gecko Run Deluxe takes classic marble runs to the next level with new creative challenges and less restrictive building requirements. This innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Traditional marble runs require lots of pieces to create vertical height, but with Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases - virtually any smooth surface- becomes part of your track, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces. Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond. As the pads are not glue-based, they can be quickly and easily re-positioned many times without damaging ashesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfibre cloth will keep your pads ready for action! The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion and flexibility, you can create hills and jumps and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts! No two tracks are even the same. Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills and encourages creativity for kids and their grown-ups! The Gecko Run Deluxe Starter Set has everything you need to zip, zag, bounce, skip and hurdle into an awesome engineering adventure. The Deluxe Starter Set includes all components from the original Starter Set, the Loop Expansion Pack and the Trampoline Expansion Pack. In addition, it also comes with a bonus funnel and lever component. A 16-page illustrated manual guides you through setting up your first runs and teaches you how all the different elements work. Witness physics in action! Use independently or combine with any of the other expansion packs! Safety Warning WARNING! Not suitable for children under 8 years. For use under adult supervision. Read the instructions before use, follow them and keep them for reference.

Review: A fun marble run that doesn't take up space. - My son is obsessed with marble runs but they normally take up a lot of room. This is great though as it fastens to a window (or wall). The parts are robust enough for shall we say not the most delicate of handling and has allowed him to create many courses that can stay in situ without cluttering the room. He found it easy to put together, and was a good present at the right price point.
Review: Good construction toy - Just right for the granddaughter.
