![]() My 8 year old researched on for design ideas for them to create over the next few weeks! Last I heard they are planning on designing a Stranger Things themed pinball machine so I’m interested to see how it turns out! Once everything is decorated I’ll update some pictures here for you guys! While my 10 year old built the frame I cut out the graphics included and placed them in a bag. We made this Pinbox 3000 a family affair. By the time he built the 2nd pinball machine he was a pro! Also my son needed an extra hand for coordination when attaching the tray the first time. If you have a child building the pinball machine you may want an adult to double check that the rivets are snapped in as much as possible as they can be a little difficult. There are actually two different play boards included that fit down onto the top of the pinball machine which is nice because you can change up the obstacles and features on your pinball game. We’ve actually never owned a pinball machine (have you?) so we were all pretty excited! You can see here that he is almost done building the first pinball machine. ![]() The entire pinball machine is made of 39 die-cuts that you just pop out of the cardboard sheets. Because we just recently received it and my kids are in school this week they haven’t had the chance to decorate it yet but that’s what their holiday break is for!! I couldn’t believe how eager my son was to get his hands on this set since building sets for him are a take it or leave it kind of thing. Plus it includes the marbles, rivets, paper clip and rubber bands that you’ll need. The kit includes EVERYTHING – ALL of the cardboard sheets that are perforated to punch out and even graphics that you can cut out and color. The tutorial is about an hour long and after the first pinball machine was built my son didn’t even need to watch the tutorial again. It leaves absolutely no questions and you can see everything built along with you. My 10 year old son on the left built two of these Pinbox 3000 sets ALL by himself! Directions are included in the box but I HIGHLY recommend you just watch the tutorial on their website. I spotted their booth when I attended ChiTAG this year (Chicago Toy & Game Fair) and I totally geeked out when I saw how COOL this product was! NOT ONLY do you buy a cool pinball machine that is totally customizable because you design it yourself but you actually BUILD it too! And it is NOT complicated to build! And YES – it is made from cardboard and it REALLY works! (and well too!) AND….well, just keep reading.
