I normally used the paper booklet instructions but early on I found a picture difficult to understand as it looked like I was missing pieces. Once I went to the digital instructions and could rotate the image, I realized I had the pieces and how to connect them. I will now use the digital all the time! The mechanism worked the first time and the little balls come out easily. After the grandkids get all the minifigures, I plan to fill the balls with candy or other small,items for future fun and continual usage. I love this set because there is action vs just being looked at. It’s a mix of regular legos and technics type for the turning mechanism.

Cool set to put together. My daughter put it together in a day. She was determined to get it done.

This was by far my 11 yo’s favorite birthday gift! Just the right amount of challenge and lots of future play

The vending machine was a great product. I recommended for everybody although it’s a little advanced.

I had to purchase this vending machine due to the design. Love the idea and the look of this project.

I agree with the other reviews - this set is so well engineered, and it takes a lot to impress me. It is fully functional - it won't even work unless a coin is inserted. I was blown away by this. Fascinating!

When such joy could surround the gum ball machine. What a childhood memory I have of them. This was such a joy to build. From the mechanics of the working parts inside to the treasures that came out. Top notch.

This was a great build, and works like a real machine. I was so impressed with the build and the quality of the build. Congratulations to the one whom is way smarter than I am with coming up with this design.

Well worth the money, was a fun build with the family we all enjoyed it and it looks fantastic built as part of a collection or standalone you will not be disappointed

It was very well illustrated using the Lego Builder. Very strong. I wish we could buy more of a variety of Minifigures and extra balls so that if I give one of mine to a child I can replenish my vending machine.
