Folks, welcome to Wishlist After Dark! Feast your eyes on the Ravensburger GraviTrax Starter Set, a build-your-own marble run, and it's the perfect gift for kids ages eight and up who love building and stem. I'm Penny, here with Marty Dazzle, in his sparkliest blazer, and Sunny, our resident ray of sunshine. Okay. Sell me on marbles. Penny, it's a starter set with a hundred and twenty-two pieces! Base plates, tiles, rails, marbles, the whole works, right there in one box.

And they're all yours to play with, Marty! Kids snap the tracks and action pieces together and design their own runs, their way. But wait, there's more! There's a vortex, a launch pad and a magnetic cannon. A magnetic cannon, folks! Oh, I want one! Okay, here's what's in the box. Three long, six medium and nine short tracks, plus catchers for the marbles. Sunny, does it grow? Or is that the whole run, forever?

It grows, Penny! It works with other GraviTrax sets, so the track can get bigger later. I can just picture a kid adding a new level every birthday. And get this: the listing says GraviTrax has sold over fifteen point five million units worldwide. That's a whole lot of marbles rolling, folks! Okay, here's the catch, and it's a sneaky one. This Amazon listing is an older one, and it points to a newer version of the starter set, so check which one you're ordering.

Wait, really? Two versions? Two, Marty. And expansion sets are sold separately, so the bigger builds cost extra. It's ages eight and up, too, so little siblings watch from the couch. But the listing cites the N P D Group for GraviTrax being the number one marble run in the U.S.! Fair, though check the current star rating on the listing yourself. I'm at seven point nine. Great toy, just mind the version.

I'm at eight point six! Picture a kid tearing off the paper and building that very first run with you, right there on the floor. Nine point one from me, folks! That magnetic cannon had me from the start. That's an After Dark Score of eight point five out of ten, number eight of the sixteen toys we've ranked, just behind Water Wow. It's a buy for kids eight and up who love to build. The link's on our site and in the description.

Happy building, and see you next time, folks!
