just seen the wooden marble runs in GLTC. has the world gone mad? are they better than plastic, or do the just "look" better? i mean surely a marble in a hole will go down according to gravity......no matter which you put it in???

If you really need one, we got a mechanised one for DDs from Costco for £15 - perfect in plastic, imho...

well I wouldn't actually pay that much for one - however having had a plastic marble run for DS1 a few years ago (which wasn't particularly cheap) that was broken very quickly I would prefer to buy a wooden one purely because it would be harder to break...............
