I'm a fan of any Lego set that requires gears and/or function. This is now tied for my favorite with the Pac-Man machine. The fact there were one to two mini figures to build in each bag really put this set above for me. I also made a mini of my daughter and snuck it in as a surprise.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First of all, I like to say, this is an excellent Lego Product. The instruction manual was easy to follow, all the pieces were in each bag and the final build looks awesome. There were several technics parts for the delivery of the minfig balls, so, you had to pay close attention for those steps. Overall, this was an easy build. The only downside was I wish there were a few more minfig balls for this build. The price was a little high for 1343 pieces, but, it goes well with other vintage builds. This is not for a new builder and so would highly recommend this Lego set!

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter who loves claw machines and vending machines. I considered this a bonus set because she can actually play with it after building without fear of breaking it. My daughter has only put together simple 3-in-1 sets before this so I was probably a little overzealous purchasing such an advanced set for her… BUT surprisingly she did 99% of this set by herself! The only part she had trouble with was the little gear part that holds the crank inside. It took her a week to build this so I was happy that she had a “project” she could work on that was a little more challenging. She surprised me and she was so happy with the final product! Such an intricate concept but the instructions were easy to follow. I loved watching her getting excited every time she finished another bag. I also loved that it came with 16 different minifigs and 16 balls to put them in. The only way to turn the knob is with a “coin” but don’t worry if you lose the coin you can always make new ones with a flat circle piece and a curved circle piece together!

Best set of 2025
on January 1, 2026

This was in my opinion the best set of 2025. The functions and mechanics of the set are fun to build and satisfying to use once built. It looks great and comes with tons of minifigs. My only complaint is I wish it came with another 2 to 4 minifigs. Otherwise, hats off to the designer and LEGO.

The price for this set is pretty high for the number of pieces in the set, but it was a really fun build. It works great and sections were challenging to build. Overall it was a great building experience.

A fun engineering build
on December 27, 2025
Posted by: FlexibleArtichoke102
The build itself was fun and fascinating seeing how each part of the mechanism as it was built was going to work. The finished product is awesome! I loved that the first piece built was a little vending machine and the designer in Lego form 🩵

I was extremely excited to get this set & build it! My husband, who is not in to Legos even thinks it’s awesome since it’s a working vending machine! I had a great time building this & will love displaying is as well.
