This was my very first time building a Lego set. I did need assistance in building the machine, but it was fun to do! Like many others, would love to have more of the spheres to fill with candy, etc. It works great, and looks exactly like the photos.
I love when Lego makes these vintage items. It's a nearly perfect set. It's a great building experience, and I loved figuring out how it functioned. I could not believe how simple yet flawless the mechanic was that requires a coin to make it work. The price is high even with all the minifigures, but it's hard for me to be upset when the set is just this high quality.
I’ve a big collection of Lego and have been building for a while. From Stranger Things to the Volkswagen Camper Van. This is by far my favorite build. I like how smooth it is and that it doesn’t jam. A lot of times with these technical builds you get to a part where things don’t work as smooth as you’d hope but this one works so well! The minifigures don’t really matter to me it was all about the concept. We decided to fill the balls with extra Minifigure duplicates we’ve gotten over the years and letting people use the machine when they come over to take one home! Absolutely love this build. I think it is 100% worth the price because it is such a fun build and looks great on display as well as its versatility to be filled with other items. If I had to give one negative it would be that I wish they included more balls.
Had to have this build as soon as I saw it on the website. My classroom theme is building blocks. I use it for an incentive in my classroom, my students love it and we havent had any issues yet 🤞. It looks great and I had fun building it
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fully functional vending/gumball machine that was really fun to build with several unique minifigs inside each bag/step (16 total). The dispensing mechanism was clever and consistently works.
My 4 year old had a great time "building" alongside me—really playing with the minifigs and the dispenser as it got built 😅
Good amount of nostalgia with the Fabuland and Space people. Maybe one too many Space people, though? Loved the unique Kraken warriors and Griffin Knights!
