Best toy purchased this Christmas
This thing is the best gift I bought for Christmas for my 9 year old. He loves legos, but he builds them and then they sit on a shelf. This he built by himself, and he loves playing with it! It is a great little pinball machine. The gum doesn’t taste good, and falls on the floor easily, so it’s more for game pieces. Even my cat is obsessed. And the game is modular. You can move the pieces around to change the game up. I love Thames and Cosmo. I have purchased from them in the past and their customer service is amazing. My son accidentally broke a piece on a mechanical hand toy, and he wrote them an email and they sent him a new piece. Even at full price of 39$, this toy is 100% worth it.

Fun project with the kids
This was purchased a Christmas gift. This is great to build with the kids. The "pinballs" are actually gumballs.

Fun for kids
Such a pain to assemble, but… so much fun to play with once assembled. There are different set ups and it’s great entertainment. Great deal.

Great , easy to assemble toy.
Easy to assemble my 7 yo grandson did it mostly himself. He has a blast trying to get a good score then having gum to chew

Meh… it’s ok
Kind of hard to put together. And pieces broke about a month into using it. It’s still functional at this point, kind of. Our kid loved it.

Fun stem kit to put together
My granddaughter loved putting this together, she's a fourth grader. She was asked to show it and talk about it to a class that is studying pinball machines at her school!

big hit for 8 year old birthday gift
this was so fun to build & play! love a great, non-screen gift. I love the undercover learning and education component masked by a fun game and gum balls.
