The media could not be loaded. I got this pinball machine kit for Christmas this past year. I have built both metal and wooden kits before and this one was really appealing to be. Not only was it a nice challenging build, but in the end I have a very functional and fun tabletop pinball machine to play and enjoy!Some reviews say this is hard to build or that instructions are not clear. I found it to be as clear and detailed as required to guide you with mostly pictorial instructions to a very successful completion. The key here is to take your time and be patient at each step. Sand everything and anything that has a rough edge or is part of a moving component. Double check your work as you assemble the electronic components. Use the Wax and coat any part that the instructions tell you to coat.I built this over the course of 2-3 weeks, working in the evenings and taking pictures as I progressed. I may post a few photos in addition to the video of a full round of game play I am posting today. Some people are saying that the trick shots on the ramps and slides are impossible to make. Not true. Just like any full sized pinball machine, it's all in the timing, where the ball is coming from and how much force you exert on the paddle flipper buttons.The ball flippers are a completely mechanical linkage system and very clever in how it was designed. They work so well! You can do things with these manual flippers that you cannot do with electrically fired flippers. You can play with the steel ball and even block the ball from falling into the return chute.There is plenty of lighting affects during game play. The ball launch count is shown by the LED's on the launch ramp, counting down as you play each ball. Ramp "trick" shots earn you 50 or 100 points, depending on the ramp. The three ball bumpers at the upper part of the playing field are truly amazing to see and hear. They use the conductive steel ball as a "contact" to complete a sensing circuit and fire a solenoid under each bumper to eject the ball away from each bumper. The results is just like a full sized pinball machine. The points earned for each ball "bump" starts at 10 points, then grows higher in to point increments after each set of 10 "bumps". So it's 10 points, then 20 points and eventually 30 points per "bump" as play continues. The instructions tell you how all of this works.In the attached video, I had played 2 full games prior to the one shown. I believe I managed to hit every trick shot on all three ramps and run the ball completely around the back hidden pathway behind the bumpers in this game. You will notice the Red LED stars lighting up and animating as points are registered during game play. The increments are 100 points per star, so this is not a very fine granular point keeping system, but it adds to the fun of game play just the same.I would highly recommend this kit to anyone that will take the time to build it carefully and deliberately. Don't get rushed, read the pictorial instructions over again when things don't quite look right. There are plenty of spare parts, screws and wooden components provided with the kit. You should not find yourself lacking anything to complete this build.Enjoy! I sure did.

The media could not be loaded. I can think of any thing negative or neutral to say about this puzzle. It’s amazing. It was so fun to put together. Clear instructions and videos are available. Assembly was so much fun and alll the pieces come with spares in case you break one detaching it from the cards or on install. I mean the detailing is just so good. The electrical components installed easily too. When finished just plus it in. There is a cord provided but not so long to run it to a wall outlet. I use a portable charger to play it. My wife and I use this every night as it lives on our coffee table. We have put hours on this thing and it is very tough. I will have to sturdy some of the press fit connections with hot glue eventually because we use it so much. The action bumpers and ramps work great. The rubber bumpers keep the ball active and moving. The flippers are mechanical not electrical, and the action is very smooth and powerful. I hope the compny makes another one!! I will be buying more from them soon!!! Great fun project!

I just finished building the ROKR 3D Pinball machine. It was by far the most challenging and well done wood kit I have built.Excellent instructions- perfect parts cut sheets, lots of spare pieces (for the small easy to lose and delicate easy to break. It has great electronic and mechanical and aesthetic design, lighting, music. It just has everything.It took a long time to build but was challenging and fun all the way. Virtually perfect instructions- seriously LEGO quality.And the play action is good. Active bumpers bells, sounds lights and ramps. I am not a pinball wizard so it will take some time to get some high scores.

The quality and engineering of this model is outstanding. The instructions are very clear and the assembly is structured and logical. The provided tools and materials are abundant and can even be used on later models. They also provide a lot of spare parts - the most I've ever seen in a kit! Thank you!You do need to be careful when removing pieces - some can break if not careful. Also, I used beeswax to lube parts that were difficult. The sandpaper that is provide is the perfect size for removing burrs. You must also use a minimum of 2000 mAh for the 5V USB power source. Customer service is also excellent. They will respond if you have any issues. And bottom line, this pinball machine is a blast - many hours of fun.

I purchased this kit for my husband for Christmas. He has always wanted a pinball machine but the price of those things are up there and so this was an interesting replacement. From the get go of my husband constructing this he was impressed with the quality. More than a few times he mentioned this. My husband isn't easily impressed with anything and so this says a lot of the actual quality! He finished it last night and we have had some fun with it already. A couple of small pieces broke from the ball hitting them but nothing that can't be fixed. It's not the easiest to construct with the wiring and all but really fun. We would recommend this little pinball machine for sure!

C'est vraiment une machine magnifique. Mon ado de 14 ans a pris une douzaine d'heures à l'assembler, mais la machine a été très sollicitée pour jouer par la suite et elle est très solide. Une qualité surprenante et un super cadeau. Pour les gens moins manuels, c'est un beau petit défi, mais le plan est simple à suivre. Je rachèterais sans hésitation.

Bought this for my son in law for Christmas he was very pleased. He put it together in a couple of days and was amazed it works.

I bought this pinball machine and I had fun building it. The design is good and it's fully functional. I like that it's a challenge to assemble, it keeps me engaged. The machine has a lot of features, like dangling tracks and brass bells, which make it enjoyable to play. The score record system is also a nice touch. My only issue is that the wood is a bit fragile, so I had to be careful when assembling it. Overall, I think it's a great way to spend time with family and friends, and it's a nice addition to my puzzle collection.

I bought this for a gift and my husband loved putting it together and the end result. I was surprised that it lit up and made sounds like a real game. Pretty cool.
