The system has no support structures, so tracks can go higher with fewer pieces. Every expansion pack integrates with the Starter Set and with each other, letting the marble run grow over time. The Spinners add a mechanical interaction — gear wheels that spin and interact — to complement the looping, weaving, twisting, and bouncing elements available in other packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to Know Before You Buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thames Kosmos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires Gecko Run Starter Set or Big Box — not a standalone product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nano-adhesive pads — no sticky residue, removable from smooth surfaces without damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tracks from renewable raw materials; made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatteries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lbsXiYXjmuQ?si=NipeM-lPznFfjSwP\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need the Starter Set first?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Spinners Expansion Pack requires the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-run-marble-run-starter-set-thames-kosmos\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGecko Run Starter Set\u003c\/a\u003e or the Gecko Run Big Box as the base. The expansion adds the spinner gear wheels and additional track sections on top of the existing system; it does not include the full track foundation or all the marbles needed to run a complete course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the two gear wheels work together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach gear wheel spins independently when activated by a passing marble. Placed separately in the run, each produces its own spinning effect. Placed in proximity so their teeth mesh, the two gears interact — when one spins, it drives the other in the opposite direction. This gear-pair configuration produces a visually engaging double-spin effect and introduces children to the basic principle of gear transmission: how rotational force transfers between interlocking gears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it leave marks on my wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the nano-adhesive pads hold firmly to smooth flat surfaces (walls, windows, tiles, glass, doors) and remove cleanly without sticky residue or surface damage. The pads are repositionable, so you can adjust the layout of your marble run without marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Full Gecko Run Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-run-marble-run-starter-set-thames-kosmos\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGecko Run Starter Set\u003c\/a\u003e — start here; core tracks, marbles, and the nano-adhesive mounting system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-run-marble-run-loop-expansion-pack-thames-kosmos\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLoop Expansion Pack\u003c\/a\u003e — adds a full loop element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-run-snake-expansion-thames-kosmos\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSnake Expansion Pack\u003c\/a\u003e — adds a weaving slalom element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-marble-run-twister-marble-run-expansion-pack-thames-kosmos\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTwister Expansion Pack\u003c\/a\u003e — adds a spinning spiral descent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-marble-run-trampoline-expansion-pack-thames-kosmos\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTrampoline Expansion Pack\u003c\/a\u003e — adds a bouncing trampoline element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpinners Expansion Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — this pack; adds two interactive gear wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thames Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62721270808657,"sku":"814743019461  Read more at: https:\/\/www.coolthings.com.au\/gecko-run-marble-run-spinners-expansion?srsltid=AU7gw4WKUYwKbdGbqgtZXwMY19PD4tnoQ-YqRUhhE8ysnzb2siGVrlVU","price":28.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1737\/7873\/files\/71xsYP1WbaL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1790209919","url":"https:\/\/curiouskidzz.com.au\/products\/gecko-run-spinners-expansion-thames-kosmos","provider":"CuriousKidzz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
