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.

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!

Really happy I made this purchase. So much for to put together. 16 minifigures are great. Really like that the designer is represented with a minifigure.
Brings back memories of kids asking for quarters to play the machine in stores. Great idea. Looks so nice displayed.

The vending machine is amazing! More so that it actually works! Im thrilled! You do need to pay close attention to instructions, parts & placement when building. Anyone going for speed, you'll likely have a non functioning set in the end & need to start over. Its perfect! We'll worth it!

I mainly bought this for the figures. Turns out, it was very fun to build. The machine is actually fully functional. The design is spot on...you would think it's an actual gumball machine...not made from Legos. I don't regret buying this and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes gumball machines or collects minifigures.

Ideas Theme Home Run!
on June 7, 2025

Verified Purchase:No
This set is absolutely one of the most innovative production sets created. This is what makes the Ideas theme so special. Everything from the build experience to the quality feel and functionality coupled with minifigure prizes is a great overall package! Whether you want it for the build experience, the look and feel or the minifigures themselves this set is a worthy display piece and conversation starter. You could put candy in the balls, raffle tickets, or even money! Ideas sets rarely go on sale and this is a set every collector and then some should grab.
