Agreed. They are just toys and not legit commercial grade arcades. Don't expect too much. I bought one without a riser with a couple of cheap stools. Easy to put together and light enough to carry upstairs without pain and suffering. Works fine for me. Only problem is that nobody plays it.

Totally with you. It seems silly for those on this sight to complain about blowing a few hundred on a game given pinball pricing. How much do people spend on dolls to glue to their games or silly things like fancy glass, painted trim, color displays, etc? It's all stupid but we have fun with it. It would be nice to be able to buy a brand new legit arcade game loaded up with games and proper controls for cheap money but that's not an option.

They are not all going to be thrown away like that, c'mon. There is no indication that I know of that all these are bricking out or having serious problems. Controls may be junk on some and construction a bit flimsy but they work. I've seen plenty of old trashed out full size arcades that belong in a landfill so you can say that about any old electronic stuff.
