I found that it was a nice and easy construction kit that kept me amused for hours. I did not find any faults in the instructions and thought they were clear and useful. It comes with pre-made corners and loop the loop so it is even easier and creates less problems. There are spares that come with it so it wont matter if you loos something. All in all it works very well and i am very happy with it. If you want a harder one after, you can choose one from, http://www.spacerails.com/shop/. This is a great product, a must have.

This took hours to build by our grandson's father. This was mainly because the instructions were so poor, written in what seemed to be a very poor translation into English from a foreign language and he had to do it primarily by looking at the picture on the box. Once constructed the Space Coaster did work, but I don't think a child would have been able to build it. Boys were interested in this when running.

This is a construction toy that will give you lots of fun hours and make you think of new ways to interconnect the rails. In a nutshell:
pros:
-stylish and automated (just press the button and the fun starts)
-triggers the imagination as there are numerous ways to make a route
-well made (for a toy)
-rewarding once completed
-fun to stare !!
cons:
-assembly is not for the faint-hearted, requires precise positioning of the parts, otherwise you'll have steel marbles flying around..
-instructions are not so clear ,very packed together, you can easily get confused
-some stages of assembly you'll have to figure out for yourself, definitely not an easy task for children (even adults with no experience in constructing and assembling)
-no battery included ( that was annoying,at least for me, as it requires a "C" 1,5volt battery which I didn't have around and had to go shopping for it..)
!! Key to a perfect coaster: the length of the rails you cut (the plastic white cable). If it's too short or too long ( in mm...) the route will deform, balls will escape the route and the whole construction will tilt. My advice: cut the pipe a couple of mm longer than the instructions (there is enough spare cable for this) and adjust it with some sharp pliers. Watch out for protruding edges in the cut sections (level them out) and also for the angle in curves (raise a bit the outer rail so that the ball won't fall off due to centrifuge).
Don't get too discouraged by the instructions. If you take your time to examine the pieces and with the photo on the outer box you'll get a hang of it in no time.
Have fun!!

Good, but take care building
This toy is stated 14+ and the reason is that it is quite tricky to assemble. My 11 year old got a bit impatient with it, which resulted in him breaking off a plastic support piece... Read more

Don't Waste Your Money
Takes hours to set up and when you do, you spend hours having to tweak the thing to get the marbles to stay on the track.
Awful product, a huge disappointment. Read more
