My 4 year old said he would really like a marble run. He played with a plastic one at a friends house this week. I think she got it at Lakeshore learning. Is there anything that is sturdy (won't fall apart in 5 seconds) that isn't super expensive? Do we need to buy quadrilla?

Thanks a bunch

I have been pondering the Quercetti super Vortis (or vortex - seen it both ways) on Amazon for about $50. I think there is also a cheaper imaginarium one at TRUS. I haven't seen either irl. I posted recently and there were a couple suggestions... dc melting down so I need to run, but I'll look for the link tomorrow if you can't find it!

The wooden block ones are frustrating, because they fall apart so easily.
