Where do you find replacement marbles (if the colors are bad, as reviewers said)? I'm trying to decide if it's worth ordering.

Michael's or Hobby Lobby would be a good choice for replacement marbles. Also flea markets and thrift stores would be a source, but would take a bit of work. We replaced the marbles from Michaels. I also sewed up a silk bag with tassles for the marbles figuring that would be important to a little girl.

The colors are not bad at all. This is a nice set that I gave to my son this Christmas, though I haven't looked into replacement marbles. The marbles are attractive colors and have a great weight to them.

I was very pleased with the marbles that came with my board. If you're not, Hobby Lobby carries replacement marbles.

I have no complaint about the colors. This is not a luxury set which you can get for a lot more money. There are replacement marbles offered in Amazon...but worry about that later.

The colors are nice. I ordered a few sets from Amazon until I found what I wanted. My issue with the that came with my set was that the marbles were too small in diameter.

I didn't think the colors were offensive...all that is really necessary is that they be distinguishable from each other. Marbles of all imaginable colors are available from hobby shops or toy stores.

I ordered this and the marbles are a lil smaller than the ones you get in a normal marble set. I don't find anything wrong with these but for fun I bought more marbles from the dollar store to mix it up. But this is a really nice piece. It is well made and holds up well. I have had mine for over a year.

We like the colors. You can get bags of marbles at most good toy stores. Start with this set. Collecting marbles can become a fun hobby in itself as there are such a variety of types and color patterns to explore. This purchase could be the start of a gift that keeps on giving...

going out on Amazon, type in " glass marbles" or "ceramic marbles", figure out the diameter of the marbles needed as replacements first. Then you may decide if replacements are economically feasible for you.

I really don't know. You could look at their other offerings and approximate the colors you need to replace. Most likely, they want you to repurchase the item. I find that I also use the same colors (this is my 3rd palette) and I do like the mirrors and the fact that its one unit, rather than separate items.

Amazon has them in the warehouse. You can take a chance and order it and if its not Tony the Tiger you can.return and be refunded. Jessica

I don't have any or know of any replacements through the seller but I would think that you could find some either at the craft store or Walmart type places.

Fisher Price no longer offers replacement balls but I think there are replacement balls online.

They either ran out of the colors, or they are selling it as a different item so you should look at the *people who bought this also bought...* link at the bottom of the screen.

My contractor opened the box today and it is not Carrera marble. It is white marble and I ordered Carrera. What do I do.

I got them from the crayola site. Too bad amazon doesn't sell it (with free shipping)!

I was able to get replacement balls here: http://www.hapetoys.com/us/en/contact They charged me 5 bucks plus shipping.

I was planning on doing just that, but didn't end up buying a second set. If you look at the different sets, you'll see that they contain some of the same pieces. Fyi - I work at a school, and the kids loved playing with the set! Lots of opportunity for kids to analyze why a marble won't go through and then solve the problem. Fun family activity too!

I don't know where to get the Bingo replacement ball. However, I have a suggestion. You can buy a little round wooden ball from a craft store, use the black marker to mark the number of the missing ball. Hope that help. Good luck!

I had one that also looked like it came from a different dye lot. Since it was a third party that had sold it, I contacted National Geographic directly. They were extremely helpful and sent me a new one that had gone through their quality control department first. I'm about to order another one and am considering the same thing. Since Amazon is cheaper, I will try it but will check it first for imperfections.

Thanks for posting that! We did get our replacement a few days ago and it worked fine for the whole weekend. If you're trying to buy, I guess just keep trying -I bought from LeapFrog directly and they seem to go in & out of stock quite rapidly.They never did send me a confirmation email that the replacement was being shipped though. I had to ask customer support and they finally replied with a tracking number about 3 days after it shipped out.

Hello Amy,We had originally intended to sell individual replacement bowls, but during the quality control process, we rejected far too many bowls. Hand painted bowls tend to have high error rates and as it turned out, we were lucky to ship the exact number of bowls to stands. We will make sure to set aside standalone bowls in future production runs and let you know when they become available. Thank you for your patronage and we apologize that we could not be more helpful.Best Regards,Choco & Cherry

Yes! There are some ideas of how to build it and any marble works fine with it. If your kids are anything like mine, you'll need to replace lost marbles eventually. :) This is a fabulous set. My siblings and I played with Marbleworks for hours as kids and now we are buying additional sets for our kids. Enjoy!

I have not heard of or seen offers of replacement magnets. However, I suggest you contact the vendor. I have gotten replacement pieces for games by going directly to the vendor. Good luck.
