YellowMarble Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 It uses 3/16 inch tiny marbles! I got these from the Czech webshop Glass-Sphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I do love itty bitty clearies. I got some in my Christmas stocking when I was 12. I probably like the bigger marbles for running on a marble machine. I guess I like control. The little ones are like swarms of insects. Crazy. Where is this one set up?

Hoody Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Cool stuff. Everything looks so big in comparison to the small marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I want to play with 15,000 marbles! Tried to find them at the Glass-Sphere site but I'm not looking in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Steph, their site seems to be http://www.glass-sphere.com/en/eshop.html and the 4mm (~ 0.16") ones you find "Colour glass balls and small balls" => "Colour small balls" http://www.glass-sphere.com/en/eshop/barevne-kulicky.html Also there is a 4mm spread hiding here: http://www.glass-sphere.com/en/eshop/kulicky-pro-technicke-a-dekoracni-ucely-10-mm-40-mm.html If you choose the 1mm (~ 1/25") balls you might get the 15,000 into a match box. Check out also their "Glas playing marbles" http://www.glass-sphere.com/en/eshop/sklenene-kulicky-na-hrani What impresses me most is that there are also the precision glas balls available. Even leaded glas with higher density. I think I will try the 16mm (~ 5/8") precision ones to see if my marble run performs better with those. Currently I have always to deal with the inconvenient imperfections of the chinese or mexican toy marbles and to sort out lots of them. Looking through the shop I just noticed a kind of marbles HABA sold with their marble run sets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some of these precision marbles, they rolls somewhat faster on my marble runs, however, one of my "precision" marbles wasn't round at all, it has a large flattening. So it was a waste of my money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
