Techno Gears - Marble Mania Extreme Posted 7/13/2006 by Viktoras A Prizgintas
I've read numerous reviews about products that require some careful preparation, detailed construction, and basic maintenance after completion. Often, these toys are criticized for being too difficult to build and keep functioning. Toys such as the TSX Trains, Thomas Big Loader, K'NEX, and Techno Gears - Marble Mania Extreme, my son's most recent project, are just a few examples. My son Alex is mildly autistic and the problems presented by these toys are part of his process towards learning about himself and the world he shares with others. Not everything works well at first, not everything is easy, and most things work better when faced together with others. Problem solving and success accomplished through a little perseverance are great life-lessons. I'm not an engineer by trade. In fact, I'm a musician with no technical training. Together, Alex and I learn about the importance of reading directions, taking inventory of parts, the slow process of building. Ultimately, we experience great pride in sharing our successes with others. We were on vacation when we completed the Techno Gears Marble Mania Extreme and he was able to bring other children to our cabin to show what we had built together. I cannot stress what a great accomplishment it was for him with his autism to make friends through the Techno Gears Marble Mania Extreme. He has strong cognitive skills but very poor social skills. My hope for Alex is that by building great things he will be able to learn the value in what he can do how it will draw others to himself. I can tell you that Techno Gears Marble Mania Extreme is a wonderful project that done properly will establish some amazing skills and bonds between you and your child. If you are looking for a toy that will baby-sit your child, you will be frustrated by both this product and your child.

My 8-yr old loves the gears and rolling marbles! Takes thought to set it up just the way he wants.
My rating of Techno Gears - Marble Mania Extreme Posted 2/1/2007 by Patricia M. Miller - GRANDPARENT
It's great! Fun and educational. My granddaughter helped me put it together, after we counted all the pieces to make sure that they were all there! It works great. I enjoy it myself.
My rating of Techno Gears - Marble Mania Extreme Posted 1/1/2012 by Antonia Galan
Even though there are a lot of pieces- it really is easy to assemble. It works wonderfully. It was a great family experience to put it together. We bought it for an almost 3 year old and an almost 4 year old. They both love it and use it daily.

Very intertaining for my son and my husband! It is a small challenge and a bit time consuming to put together, however my son loves it!
Son loves this! Posted 1/6/2006 by Dana LUcia
We purchased this for our 5 year old son. He loves gears and marble runs. This product is a better quality than one he had received. He is a little young to do it by himself, but learning to put it together makes it a fun challenge. He loves the automatic feature of this one. Overall, a quality buy.

My son received this gift for Christmas and put it together with his dad. He loves it. He loved building it, and although there was some trouble, they worked it out and it works great! Thank you so much for a great product. Not only was it fun, but he used his problem-solving skills and bonded with his dad.

What a great toy. At first I thought an engineering degree was necessary. However, it wasn't long before my daughter and I were building away. Challenging but extremely rewarding.
