If anyone is interested in this sort of thing, Spacewarp is the more advanced version of this type of toy. I built one in this thread:

I'll take your $20 marble machine from Aldi and raise you THE ULTIMATE MARBLE MACHINE from Lego

I don't think they do. Last time I wanted something from ALDI a fellow OCAU'er kindly picked it up for me and posted it over : )

OMG. Totes interested. After watching Fracture, like yourself, I started to make a RBS out of solid core copper wire. Will have to pick up the scraps when I'm next back home to complete.

But for now SpaceWarp will do
Is it still available? It looks simple enough that I should be able to slowly swap out the plastic rails for copper wire

They have mini marble packs of this sort of thing, selling at work at the moment. About $20 a pack. Only a small construction though.
