So much fun!
on May 31, 2026
Posted by: ElderStartledFish240
This was a such a fun and clever build. The engineering behind it amazed me at each step. It was so fun to figure out how it all worked together and the feeling when you put the coin in and it turned for the first time was priceless. There are so many fun and unique minifigs included. My kids have all loved taking turns playing with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Knob Trouble
on May 31, 2026
Posted by: doodle
I have seen many, many post everywhere about there being a mistake on page 92 and 93. After dismantling the whole thing twice I finally discovered the problem. There is no error in the book, the error is human, if you turn the knob without a coin in the slot the blue piece that you see on page 92 flips out into the unoccupied space and blocks the knob, and yes you get to dismantle it to put it back in position. If you keep a coin in the slot all the time it will prevent this from happening. It seems to be a compulsion, was showing a neighbor and the first thing she did was turn the knob. I just saw a post today telling everyone to leave off the black rubber piece, good luck with that.

Works like a real vending machine. Coin and all and you get fun minifigures. Best of both worlds.

Worst build ever for me
on March 15, 2026

You must build this on a hard level surface at the beginning or else it won't work. Too many frivols builds in the middle for no reason. It's cute when its's done but a challenge to build with not much payoff.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Grandma Vibes
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Suzanna
I’m not a grandma yet, but when I saw this set I knew I needed it in case I ever get to be one. Having this made me excited for the day a little child will come into my home for a visit, run into my awaiting arms, and beg to turn that little knob for a fun surprise. One request from Lego, with much begging and pleasing, please oh please can I buy more pieces to make extra capsules? About the build: the inner working mechanics were the challenge. I feared if i missed one step or piece I’d have to start all over again, so i took my time and studied the steps. Before I moved past those critical steps and onto the simple outer parts I tested the machine. You should have seen my utter delight at it working properly! I clapped and giggled. My husband thought me adorable.

Fun Dispenser
on March 4, 2026

It was fun building the gumball dispenser. However, it was disappointing to wait for the clear plastics (major parts) to be replaced by LEGO as they were cracked.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I built this together with my son. He had amazing fun building the structure. I had to help with the mechanism. He still takes it apart and rebuilds it from time to time. We also had a lot of fun just playing with the finished build.
