Customer reviews
Amazing product, but broke after a day :-(
I’m updating my original review below because of fantastic customer service from the manufacturer. I reached out Blue Marble by email on a *Sunday* and received a prompt reply saying they were mailing me a replacement and prepaid postage for me to send them the broken part so they could investigate the issue. It was ready for pickup by the USPS by Sunday evening! I have not received it yet, but I’m hoping the new piece will last longer than the last one. Original review: First off, this is an amazing toy with so many possibilities and was hours of fun for my son — for one day. Unfortunately, a piece broke off of the main battery unit after one day, so we were not able to use it after that. It’s such a shame, because this one defect prevents us from using the whole set. I wish the manufacturer offered a replacement part; I’d give it 10 stars if I could. It would be well worth the price if it hadn’t broken so soon, but it’s too pricey to order another one. My son is heartbroken; this was his favorite toy he’s probably ever received. I wish I could get a free replacement, but I can’t find a way to contact the manufacturer.

Cool Kit for a Kid hungry for knowledge.
At my church they were having a toys for kids donation thing going. I asked the guy who was organizing it if it was OK if I found a couple of STEM kits or toys to toss in there. He got excited and enthusiastically said they needed a lot more of those. I was excited because, when I was a kid, I was kind of a nerd and my favorite thing to get was some sort of electronics experimenter kit. I would hide out in my room for hours on end enthralled by all the amazing experiments. The thought of some young person with a hunger for knowledge like I was getting excited about it and that got me excited. I ended up buying several different ones. But this one tempted me to rip it open and play with it. I didn't. But it was highly rated and I pray it made some young kid happy.

My 8 year old nerdy grandson loves this
My 8 year old nerdy grandson loves this. We are a bit over half way through and he has spent hours with it. The components for the circuits seem to be high quality. There have been a few negatives. * I think to call it over 120 circuits is an exaggeration, many of them a very similar. * There has been a couple circuits that didn't seem to work as shown. * Conceptually the wires between the component are viewed a single wire (positive or negative). But in reality there are two wires inside that can carry both. This occasionally leads to odd results, like a motor spins even though only one wire is attached.

Great screen free option, keeps 8 year old entertained for a couple hours at a time.
My 8 year old loves this. We’ve had this kit since Christmas and every time she plays with it, she is engaged for a couple hours at a time. You just need to add batteries. The other night she made a light show with astronauts and space things. Another night she did some kind of on and off music thing. It did not require any kind of help from me. This is a worthwhile screen free educational toy. She loves showing off whatever she makes and has so much fun doing this. It comes with a little book of instructions or ideas that can help a kid get started.
