Wow. I am LIKING The look of the Block and Roll, esp the way it gives new life to Duplos. I’ll have to bookmark that for when my son is older.

We have the Discovery toys castle for now (It’s for younger kids). But I was eyeing the Haba marble track for when he was older. http://www.amazon.com/Haba-Ball-Track-Construction-Set/dp/B000F94GMO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1257794009&sr=1-7 — because there are so many options for adding on, etc.

It’s lighter in color and design than the Blocks n Marbles which we have reviewed in the past (favorably). I was just asked by another tester for a great gift for fives and given your question, I also thought of the Quadrilla Marble Runs which are a bigger, showier deal than this set which is slightly younger. I love that this set has different bells and whistle pieces that you can incorporate in to the build. These are all really open-ended puzzles–that will have great appeal to kids that enjoy blocks and trains…they call for the same kind of visual discrimination skills.

How does the Build N spin measure up compared to other marble track sets?
