This Vending Machine is cool. But WAAY too expensive for what it is.

Building the mechanism and seeing how it all works was incredible! It looks great on display.

I think this set is amazing and I love that it is fully functional! I would recommend this set to anyone who loves functional Lego sets

My husband and I built this Lego set together and just wow! It’s so cute, pretty simple build and fully functional! Absolutely adorable

From the second I saw this one I knew I had to pick it up. I’m a bit young to really have the idea hold much nostalgia for me, but as a fan of Lego and a fan of the sets that have more technical function to them this set definitely peaked my interest. The finished product is super clean and this genuinely feels like one of the sets that Lego actually made sure was perfect before releasing it. There was ONE point in the build process that I was weary of if it was going to be a mechanical issue or not, but it ended up being the part of the mechanism that requires a ‘coin’ in order to turn and push out one of the little mini figures. Two cons for me personally with this set but they aren’t deal breakers. 1. I do wish that you were able to have the minifigures fully assembled in the little ball capsules as opposed to having to have them all in pieces 2. The minifigures it comes with don’t really do anything for me, however, I understand Lego was between a rock and a hard place as they wanted something to fill the little balls with but ultimately if an adult purchased this set the minifigs are just going to stay in the little balls inside the machine on display (so are the actual minifigures really that important or the focus of this set? Not really)

This set is utterly delightful. The building techniques are ingenious and was exciting to put together. The balls with minifigures were spread out among the bags creating a layer of interest across the build experience. The downside of the set is definitely the price, however, this set was the most joyful experience to build with Lego in a while surpassing larger sets such as the Medieval Market or the Shire.

Super cool idea especial since you can put other little things in the balls. The only thing that I do not like is the minfigures. I think they could be better or your could have given a standard 10 but put 5 blind bags in so people would get different ones and adding some rare or special figures. Because it's in a bling bag in the box you don't have to worry about making sure all the pieces are in for those mini figures. Would have been a nice interesting twist to this product. Other than that as soon as I saw it I knew I was going to get it. Thats why I gave it a 4 instead of the 5.

This set is AMAZING. It was a fun build, especially as I've only a tiny bit of experience with mechanisms. It was especially satisfying to have it work - and on the first try! I am going to have fun finding new things to put in the balls. The minifigures are very cute and a great addition to my city, the minifig of the set creator is an excellent touch.

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.

The building experience is fantastic. Every step produces a new "wow" and the overall aesthetics is spot on to my childhood memories of putting a coin into the slot to get a prize. These are still in use today in all types of settings. I really like the ability to add to the set and change the minifigs.
