Really cool build
This was a really unique and interesting build, and so cool to see how Lego pieces can work together to build a working machine. I made this around a year ago, and my kids still want to play with it all the time

So much fun!
This was a such a fun and clever build. The engineering behind it amazed me at each step. It was so fun to figure out how it all worked together and the feeling when you put the coin in and it turned for the first time was priceless. There are so many fun and unique minifigs included. My kids have all loved taking turns playing with it.

Knob Trouble
I have seen many, many post everywhere about there being a mistake on page 92 and 93. After dismantling the whole thing twice I finally discovered the problem. There is no error in the book, the error is human, if you turn the knob without a coin in the slot the blue piece that you see on page 92 flips out into the unoccupied space and blocks the knob, and yes you get to dismantle it to put it back in position. If you keep a coin in the slot all the time it will prevent this from happening. It seems to be a compulsion, was showing a neighbor and the first thing she did was turn the knob. I just saw a post today telling everyone to leave off the black rubber piece, good luck with that.

Fun for all ages
Works like a real vending machine. Coin and all and you get fun minifigures. Best of both worlds.

Fun to build and play
This set is super fun! My favourite part is how customizable it is—I swapped the minifigures for my favourite candies, which makes it even more fun to use and display. I love it!

Good play but terrible cost
This Vending Machine is cool. But WAAY too expensive for what it is.

Worst build ever for me
You must build this on a hard level surface at the beginning or else it won't work. Too many frivols builds in the middle for no reason. It's cute when its's done but a challenge to build with not much payoff.

Grandma Vibes
I’m not a grandma yet, but when I saw this set I knew I needed it in case I ever get to be one. Having this made me excited for the day a little child will come into my home for a visit, run into my awaiting arms, and beg to turn that little knob for a fun surprise. One request from Lego, with much begging and pleasing, please oh please can I buy more pieces to make extra capsules? About the build: the inner working mechanics were the challenge. I feared if i missed one step or piece I’d have to start all over again, so i took my time and studied the steps. Before I moved past those critical steps and onto the simple outer parts I tested the machine. You should have seen my utter delight at it working properly! I clapped and giggled. My husband thought me adorable.

Fun Dispenser
It was fun building the gumball dispenser. However, it was disappointing to wait for the clear plastics (major parts) to be replaced by LEGO as they were cracked.

Handy Sweet Dispenser
I was very keen on this product as soon as I first saw it. Like other reviewers I saw the potential for this to be a set that can be used frequently. Whilst other builds have been great ornaments (as a mature adult I no longer lay on the carpet and play with the models) this one can be used as a dispenser for sweets. I put the minifigures to one side and filled the balls with sweets, this way I have the fun of using the model each time I fancy a treat. The build itself was great fun with some very clear instructions and pictures to ensure the dispensing mechanism was set up correctly. I'm pleased to say that mine worked first time, I also like the fact that the "coins" are not mere ornaments, they are actually required to operate the machine. The model looks good, it reminds me of the bubble gum machines from my childhood and is in almost daily use. For me the price is worth it considering that I use this model almost every day.

Really fun building and playing
I built this together with my son. He had amazing fun building the structure. I had to help with the mechanism. He still takes it apart and rebuilds it from time to time. We also had a lot of fun just playing with the finished build.

Such a cool build that is functional too!
We bought this for our daughter's 9th birthday as her big present! We really hoped it would challenge her and it did! However, she still completed it within a day, lol! Very fun that she can continue to use it and play with it after the build and it is a great conversation piece! The price is high, but in the end, it was a great gift for our master Lego builder!

As Cute As It Looks on the Box
This was everything I expected. The build was fun, the little minifigures in the machine are adorable, the mechanics are fun, and it looks great being displayed. I do wish there were a few more balls for the price just to fill it up more, but other than that I loved it.

Very satisfying - both the process and end result
Adult who's just getting into Lego here, and this was my second build (after the chess set). Pros: It delivers what it promises. Mechanism works very smoothly. No issues with construction. Very fun seeing the stage-by-stage construction and recognizing how machines like this work. Cons: (These are all small quibbles; just letting you know what you're getting. Don't let the length of the list scare you, as this was a phenomenal product.) *The lid of the machine doesn't attach, it just sits on the top. *If the spare coin is sitting in the slot like how it's pictured, the mechanism can't complete a cycle because the coin you're using can't get pushed out of the mechanism properly. *The pieces that make up the balls can't be ordered individually, so you can't get more balls. *A lot of pieces can look remarkably similar in the middle packets, and can be a little difficult to match up to the photos in the instructions.

Gacha!
This set made me smile before I even opened the box. It instantly reminded me of the gashapon machines in Japan—that irresistible combo of mystery, anticipation, and “just one more turn.” I was genuinely excited to build this one, and it did not disappoint. The real magic here is the functionality. This thing doesn’t just look like a vending machine—it acts like one. The knob won’t turn unless a coin is inserted, which is such a delight From a build perspective, it’s engaging and rewarding. LEGO really leaned into the engineering here, and it shows. My one small wish? I would’ve loved the minifigures inside to be more in line with a collectible minifigure series—a little more unique, a little more “exclusive capsule energy.” Overall, this set is playful, interactive, and pure joy. It’s part nostalgia, part toy, part display piece—and 100% a crowd-pleaser. If you like clever LEGO builds that do something, this one is absolutely worth the turn of the knob.
