Hi GraviTrax Fans! This is Chris from the Masked Marble.
Today we're going to unbox the GraviTrax Twirl extension. This is one of the larger extensions
that you can add to your GraviTrax marble run collection. it needs a starter set to work,
though. It's not available in North America, I got mine from Amazon.de.
What's inside the box? Let's find out!
First we have a pack of Flextubes. There's four of them, and they require assembly.
They're not too easy to get together. But there's two halves:
The half that looks like a pipe with a flange on it, and the other half that goes into the flange.
Again, not too easy to put together. But we'll get there. There we go. And they just snap together.
And then snap the two pieces together. And there you have four flex tubes in this extension.
What else is in the box? Well, here's a pack of tunnel pieces.
These are the inserts, and we need the bases. Where are the bases? There they are.
And there's several kinds of tunnel pieces. There's the straight piece.
Put that together. Oh, and we also need the top of the tunnels. There we go. So there's three bags
for the tunnel pieces. And that tunnel piece just snaps right on top.
I like to leave them off, though. These straight pieces are really cool to use just as regular
straight-through pass-throughs.
Then we get the curved tunnel piece. There's actually four of those, and two of the
straights. So when you put the curved tunnel piece, you see that it makes a nice curved
tunnel for the marble to roll through. These are really good right after a magnetic cannon.
Then you get two of the tunnel switches.
Now these switches, you can't tell which direction the ball is going to go to set it initially.
So it's kind of part of the mystery which way will the ball go. You never know.
And then you get two of these u-turns that drop the marble down to the next level.
So two of those, two of the switches, four of the curved tunnel tiles,
and two of the straight tunnel tiles. Let's go ahead and put that last tunnel on. There we go.
What else is in the box? Well we get two spirals. Here's the two spiral bases.
And here's all of the spiral pieces. Now two of these pieces are real special. They have
these tabs on the bottom, and they're intended to snap into the base. And after they're snapped in
they don't come out. They stay with the base. And if you want to, you can make a real short
spiral by going ahead and putting the top piece of the spiral on. So that's the shortest spiral
that you can make right there. Pretty cool. And then you get these intermediate pieces.
They each have...they cover 120 degrees each. They each add one half height tile
to the spiral. And you can add as many or as few of these as you want. I'm going to add
all of them to this spiral, which will show you the tallest spiral that you can build
with this one set. So there we go. And there's the top piece.
So this is the tallest spiral we can build with the Twirl, and the shortest. Two spirals.
What else is in the box? Well, we get three marbles.
It's always nice to get more of those. You get a red, a green, and a blue. They're nice and pretty.
And we get a pack of the inserts and tiles, like what you get in a basic Starter Set.
First of all, you get the switch tile, which is also the two-way merge tile. You get
two of those. So two more switches, a three-way merge, a landing pad with a landing pad insert.
You get a splash pad, a free fall insert. Both of those with the bases that they go into.
And then you get a catcher insert with the basic tile, and a catcher insert without the basic tile.
Then we get a vortex. I like to call it the vortex of doom. And we get a finish line. The finish line
snaps into the end of the three-way merge, which has special cutouts so it can accept
that finish line. Then we have the instruction manual. So
it shows all the contents, which there's a lot in this set. And it shows how to put
everything together, because there is quite a bit of assembly required. Then it shows
how to use it in context in a track. The tunnel pieces, the spiral, and the flex tubes.
So that's everything in the box. I hope you've enjoyed this unboxing of the Twirl extension.
Again it's not available in North America, and I know of no plans for it to be available. So if
you want it, I would recommend ordering it from amazon.de or other online retailer in Europe.
