Build your own kit

Packaging label was stuck to item...difficult to remove ..as a present didn't want label attached.

Not a calendar !

Advertised as an advent calendar. ? It is not a calendar. It's simply a cardboard construction toy.

Very good product concept.

Bought as a gift which was very well received, loved the design and color's. Found that the instructions were easy to follow but do have a few issues with the vortex cone (very fiddly to construct and doesn't seem to work that well (could be user error)). Apart from that the item worked surprisingly well, pleasantly surprised that it also came with a couple of spare parts!Would recommend, it's a perfect gift for older children or adults that are big kids

Very fiddly to put together and only plays ok

Got this to do with our son, 7, as a Christmas shared project. That was wishful thinking, I struggled to do it myself and he quickly lost interest. Very fiddly and some parts were loose so when attaching another piece they fell off! Finally got it made but due to how some of the card bends ball falls off ramp too easily. It's playable but won't last long.

My nephew (& his dad) loved it!

My nephew loves to make things so this was the perfect gift for him & his dad thought his birthday had arrived too! They got to spend some quality time with a fun activity then play with the game after!

Great educational kit.

Bought as a gift so not opened. However, I have had similar kits before and they have been brilliant.

Important parts missing

This item was brought to do at our youth group on the evenings we were lower on numbers. One of those evenings was last night. Imagine the youths disappointment when they opened the box to find it contained no marbles to play the game with and no elastic bands to control the flippers. Totally useless item

Not good cheap looking and worth the money
