Merchant Ambassador Retro Arcade Electronic: Pinball - Tabletop Game, Vibrating Bumpers, LED Lights, Sound Effects, 1 Player, Ages 6+

Fun toy. Purchased for my 9 year old grandson and he’s loving it. Keeps him busy and his younger sister too.

I have become interested in building a small pinball table and ordered this just to see how some of these smaller toy machines worked/played. I am happy to report this game is flat out GREAT. I am frankly amazed at how much fun this is to play for a relatively low priced toy. When it comes out of the box, you put 3 AA batteries in the back. You also get a sheet of stickers that you put on yourself. Care is required adding these at they STICK on contact and I mean 'right Now'. You could easily decide not to bother with the stickers, the machine is reasonably attractive with them or without. There is a ON button to turn the game on and a RESET button to start a game. There are bright lights on both sides and it plays perky tunes that all give it a much enhanced arcade pinball game feel. When a game is going, there is a whirring motor noise. None of this bothers me but this is not a quiet toy. One thing that makes this game stand out from the competition is it has active components. I was surprised how perky the pop bumpers and plastic sling shots are. There are also gates at the top that actually score. For its price, this small pinball table really delivers the FEEL of a pinball machine. It is an excellent value.

Pretty cool works . Although the ball gets stuck sometimes at the top then i gotta shake the machine

Very entertaining for the family

Ball constantly gets stuck at the top and you have to bang the item around to get the ball back

I bought some Amazon batteries for this, plus I bought a battery adapter system to plug into the wall because I assumed that this thing would chew up the batteries in no time. Maybe it's a testament to the quality of Amazon batteries. But it's definitely a testament to how little energy the motor on this thing actually uses. Don't resist buying this if you're afraid you'll have to go through a lot of batteries. I'm still on the original set of batteries. I have played this a lot. I even had it filled with pennies for a while, and they are much heavier than the plastic coins, thus a bigger strain on the motor and batteries. I should point out that I usually play this without the sound. I'm not sure how much battery the sound would take.

I wish I could give this product zero stars. This was a gift from Santa and neither the scoring function nor the bumpers worked. We followed all of the instructions and even used new batteries. Now we need to explain why Santa would deliver a defective toy. Terrible.

Even the adults love this !!
