Thames & Kosmos Pinball Machine Maker STEM Experiment Kit Toy of the Year Finalist - Build a Reconfigurable Pinball Machine, Explore Physics, Force, Motion, Gravity, Simple Machines, Gumballs Included

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

Grandson loved this pinball machine. wasn't too bad to assemble after I watched the video. price was affordable

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.
