Rube Goldberg - The Speeding Car Challenge

Fun to put together but didn't work as expected.

Toy does not work as described. Parts broke easily.

Looks like fun!

This kit is the most consistently successful of the series. We have all Rube Goldberg sets! This one is the easiest to put together and delivers the chain reaction intended! A LOT of fun!!!

I was so excited to do this with my kids, but it ended up with them losing interest and me losing patience. The set is flimsy, which is no surprise for a cheap toy, but makes it hard to set up when the whole point is for minor taps to cause a chain reaction. Half the time setting it up would prematurely cause a partial reaction and glad the time once set up half of the items wouldn't trigger-- the tennis racket wasn't nearly loose enough for the egg to knock it over, it wouldn't hit the wheels with enough force to get them to roll (which is ironic considering how hard to was to get them to sit and not roll), and not once could I get the wheels to hit the strong with enough force to pull out the cork rather than just pull the whole car backwards. Very very cool idea, but the pieces that should have been heavy weren't heavy enough, and the overall structure was too lightweight and flimsy.

This is a fun idea, horribly realized. The pieces are cute and colorful, but it is difficult to assemble AND even more difficult to get it to work. were the recipients of three of these kits as gifts and not one of them worked well. I will say that this specific kit came the closest to actually working, but we only managed it once. I can't believe these ever made it out of the design lab.

This thing is awful! The pieces don’t fit together easily at all and then we couldn’t get the thing to work properly. Great idea but poorly made.

I bought one of these,from another store, when it was on sale for $3. That was still too expensive.
