ROKR Miniature Pinball Machine-3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults-DIY Wood Model Kits for Adults-Toy Gifts for Ages 14 and Up

I am blown away by the intelligence that had to be put into this wooden machine. The parts are meticulously planned, drawn at some point and then laser cut out in an incredibly perfect manner. Part after part fit perfectly. Time after time I told my wife, look at this amazing workmanship! Had I known the complexity of this project I may not have attempted it, but after waking up for three mornings in a row, excited to jump into the project, I am excited to look for another beautiful puzzle (it really is a type of puzzle) to experience. The instruction manual itself is a work of art. Page after page of beautiful drawings, easily understood and illustrated so well that it was a pleasure to follow. I can not express the genius of this piece of art. And then to turn it on and find that it works perfectly, lights, sounds and music??!! It keeps your score automatically. It keeps track of how many balls you have used and returns the ball again, until your turn is over, then displays your score with delightful music, sounds and lights. The genius who created this masterpiece provided many extra parts, just in case, so you can be sure the project will be successful. Get yourself a medium sized flat head screwdriver, a small needle nose plier to go with the supplied tools, as many of the pieces are very small. GENIUS! BEAUTIFUL! SO FUN TO ASSEMBLE! I LOVE IT!

What a GREAT model! While this ‘3D’ Pinball (EG01) kit is clearly an “Advanced” level assembly, the quality throughout is what I’ve come to expect from ROKR. The wooden laser-cut is meticulous with plenty of spare pieces in case you break some during assembly and all sheets are shipped in a plastic wrap to prevent moisture intrusion from warping the high quality modeler’s plywood boards. The manual is filled with detailed drawings along with lots of instructions, as well as tips, to keep you moving forward step-by-step (just be sure to review everything on the page/step before you assemble). The electronics are modular and sensors all have wires that are long enough to route neatly. The Circus theme is ‘Retro’ and ROKR really went the extra mile with all the decorative touches, including the Calliope soundtrack. PLUS (here is something) it can be run from an appropriate sized Lithium Battery USB power source (as you see I’ve done here). It can take a while to build start-to-finish, but well worth the effort and engaging to play. So Cool (retro) with plenty of lights & sounds. ROKR does it RIGHT. 👌

The ROKR Miniature Pinball Machine 3D Wooden Puzzle is a fantastic blend of craftsmanship and creativity, perfect for adults who love a challenge.

The process of putting together the pinball machine, step by step, feels like building a functional piece of art. Once completed, the miniature pinball machine works remarkably well for its size. The small flippers, plunger, and bumpers come to life, giving you a real pinball experience in a compact form. The level of detail is impressive, and the finished product can be proudly displayed as a unique conversation piece. The instructions are clear, though patience is needed as some parts can be tricky to assemble. This is not a quick project but one that rewards your time and effort.

I just couldn’t go without writing a quick review for this. We got the kit for a Christmas present for my daughter who is 8. It was a wonderful project to build with her, she asked tons of questions about why certain things were built in a certain way and it was an opportunity to teach her some basics on electric wiring. The kit is so well made and the instructions are super clear. I was a little worried during the build that the end result might not actually work very well but we were super happy when we eventually go to plug it all in. and test it. After one small wiring adjustment (to pull out one sensor connector and reinstall it) the lights came on and the music played. It is super fun to play and works really well. All in all a fantastic product, I highly recommend to build with a kid (or as a solo project of course). Great lesson in deffered gratification as it took 3-4 days to build, so not some plastic piece of junk that you can switch on right out of the box, rather a beautifully crafted model made from quality wood. We’ll keep this and play with it for years hopefully. 10 out of 10 for me!

Very good quality kit. No pieces missing with several extras provided for certain fragile pieces. Instructions are in good English with diagrams and even online videos for extra help. The first 2/3rds of the kit is straightforward but the last 1/3 building the elevated ramps are challenging. I had to scratch build a couple replacements to finish. I also took extra time to color the kit which is worth the extra time. The wood bleeds very easily though. Glue is definitely needed for about 1/4 of the parts. Actual play is good but more reminiscent of a pinball machine. More of a display toy. Took me about 2 months, off and on to finish.

Quality kit, very well made!

Som förväntat

Me gusto porque me recordó de mis tiempos de chabal qué jugabamos en los desaparecidos villares esta maqueta esta muy lograda

Le montage n'est pas si compliqué pour qui a un peu l'habitude de ce genre de maquette. Tout est bien référencé et s'emboîte parfaitement. Pas besoin de colle. Sauf si vous cassez certaines pièces fragiles. Des QR codes renvoient vers des vidéos pour les parties les plus délicates. Il faut quand meme pas mal d'heures de travail mais le résultat est assez incroyable, un vrai flipper pour s'amuser. Je suis ravi du produit Maj : j'avais des capteurs infrarouge pour compter les points. lors des passages de la bille, qui étaient défectueux. J'ai contacté le fabricant qui m'a envoyé des pièces de rechange par colis sans justification et depuis tout fonctionne Top. Franchement un service après-vente comme ça ce n'est pas si fréquent

Brilliant kit; loved putting it together and I'm really impressed with the final build. Quality components and plenty of spare/backup pieces. It's quite a complex build as it's a very intricate model, but the printed instructions are straightforward, and QR codes in the booklet offer additional assembly videos if required.

Mi ero cimentato giorni orsono con la costruzione di un carillon regalatomi a Natale, restandone affascinato nonostante le innegabili difficoltà dovute, in particolare, al fatto che era per me la prima volta. Quando poi ho visto la disponibilità del flipper non vi ho pensato sopra un momento... nonostante il prezzo. Il flipper era la mia "passione" giovanile e pensare di poterne costruire uno, seppure in miniatura, è stato immediato. Durante l'assemblaggio dei vari componenti, alcuni davvero minuscoli come è consuetudine in questo tipo di costruzioni, ho incontrato solo un paio d'intoppi: uno nel far funzionare a dovere il meccanismo proprio dei flipper manuali e l'altro nel fissaggio dei tre elettromagneti sul piano di gioco. Nel primo caso la difficoltà era dovuta a una mia non corretta valutazione del meccanismo; nel secondo ho scambiato i tre profilati a elle di metallo con quelle di plastica, convinto per altro ci fosse un errore. Mi dilungo su questi due particolari perché sono emblematici dell'assoluta perfezione e completezza di tutti i "pezzetti"( mi pare di aver letto circa 400) e del loro ineccepibile modo d'incastrarsi tra loro, a patto di seguire con ordine e senza fretta le istruzioni di montaggio. Quest'ultime, sebbene in inglese, sono accompagnate da illustrazioni chiare, anche se è gioco forza poterne talvolta dare un'interpretazione di prospettiva non corretta. Per passaggi più complicati c'è l'invito, tramite QR, al video tutorial che,non lo nascondo, un paio di volte mi sono stati di estremo aiuto. La cosa più affascinante di questo fantastico oggetto è l'aver coniugato il materiale grezzo e quasi artigianale con materiale di alta micro tecnologia, quale è l'elettricità e l'elettronica, a partire dagli innumerevoli led, sensori elettromagnetici e suoni. Da notare che il piano di gioco presenta anche la possibilità di essere costruito con percorsi della pallina, alternativi a quello standard di costruzione principale(che consiglio). Unico neo, se così vogliamo chiamarlo è in una rampa, delle quattro, di salita della pallina; a mio avviso troppo ripida fungendo da trampolino per la pallina stessa, che infatti tende a schizzare altrove anziché seguire il percorso prestabilito. Lo score di gioco non è il massimo. Quantunque aumenti di 100 in 100 sino a 1000, visualizzabile attraverso le stelline che s'illuminano in dipendenza dei vari percorsi e sensori toccati dalla pallina, di fatto esso procede anche autonomamente con andamento ciclico sino a 1000 per poi ricominciare. Nonostante ciò ritengo sia un bellissimo oggetto, prima nel costruirlo e poi nell'usarlo ove, in entrambi i casi, crea dipendenza.
