Hi Gravitrax fans! This is Chris from The Masked Marble.
Today on Set vs. Set we compare the contents of the GraviTrax Speed Starter Set with the GraviTrax
Obstacle Starter Set. What pieces do these sets have in common? What pieces do these sets have
that are unique to each set? Let's find out on today's Set vs. Set.
First what do these sets have in common? That's these pieces here in the middle.
These pieces are in both sets, and we'll go over what each of these pieces are.
These are all in common, these ones in the middle.
First, both sets have a clear... actually 2 clear platforms, and both sets also have 4 base plates.
Both sets have 56 of the large height tiles, and 12 of the small height tiles.
Both sets also have 21 curved tiles and 3 junction tiles.
Both sets also have 2 Spirals. Now, I have these shown in different heights, but their
heights are adjustable. There's 12 of the Spiral pieces that come with the Spiral expansion.
Both sets have a Magnetic Cannon,
a three-way merge with finish line, a landing pad with base tile, and two switches.
Both sets also have a launch pad, a vortex,
2 catcher inserts with one base, a free fall insert with base, and the splash insert with base.
Both sets have a slow rail and a fast rail. Both sets have 3 colored marbles and 4 silver marbles.
Both sets also have 3 of the long tracks, 6 of the medium tracks, and 9 of the short tracks.
Both sets also have the same booklet full of different tracks that you can build
from a starter set perspective. These are starter set, and they're not unique to the
Speed or Obstacle set unique pieces.
So that's what's in common between the two sets, are all those pieces that we just covered.
Now what's unique to the Obstacle Set? What is in the Obstacle Set that's not in the Speed Set?
First of all we have a Zipline.
That's the zip line. Then we have 3 bridges
and 5 additional silver marbles. You will need one of these 4 silver marbles to fill up the Bridges.
They're used as weights. 2 trampolines with the two angled tiles. 3 Transfers.
An Obstacle Set manual that covers all the pieces that are in the set,
what they do, and how to use them including the bundled extensions,
and then you get a single sheet of a track that is unique to the Obstacle pieces. So this track uses
all of those unique pieces that are in the Obstacle set.
So that's the unique pieces for the Obstacle Set.
Which pieces are unique to the Speed Starter Set? That's all of these pieces here.
And that includes 2 of the mini clear platforms.
It also includes 2 more base plates, so you get a total of 6 in the Speed Starter Set.
There's also 7 more of the curved tiles for a total of 28,
and one more junction tile for a total of 4.
There's a Flip expansion, a Looping expansion.
Let me move over here. There's two of the curved Tunnel pieces, one straight
Tunnel piece, and one switch...Tunnel switch.
There's a second Magnetic Cannon.
There's the Vertical U-turn.
The Speed Starter Set also has a second speed rail, and a second slow rail.
So you get a total of two of each of those.
There's also a convex and concave O-track.
There's 2 of the large Bernoulli tracks.
2 of the ball catchers. Now these clip on to any of the silver rails, and the ball
falls down into it, and it captures it onto the rail, and then it rolls along the rail.
You also get 8 of the short Bernoulli tracks. The
right curve, you get 3 of those. You get 3 of the left curve.
and you get 2 straight Bernoulli tracks.
Also in the Speed Starter Set you have a starter set Speed manual.
And this shows all the pieces and how to use them, and it's language independent.
Just pictures. Also there is a single sheet track that utilizes the Speed-unique pieces.
And that's it for the unique pieces in the Starter Set Speed.
I think you'll agree that the Starter Set Speed may be a better deal than the Obstacle
Set. Both of these sets retail for $130, but the Starter Set Speed has i think a little bit extra.
But it depends on which of the extensions you like best. Do you prefer the Trampolines, Zipline,
Transfers, and Bridges in the Obstacle Starter Set? Or do you prefer the Tunnels, Looping,
Flip, and second Magnetic Cannon in the Speed Starter Set, along with the extra track
and extra small platforms and so forth.
Let me know in the comments which one is your favorite!
