Quoted from ChrisS:I tend to agree here. I mean I bought a Zizzle for my god kids a few years back. They like it and have fun with it but they are in the iPad generation. They will love this. At their age they don't care what pins they are playing. They just like banging around on the thing.
That’s my thought. He (3 years old) plays on an iPad all day so this is a nice way to acclimate him slowly into grandpas hobby with several game titles to keep it fresh. We’ll teach him mechanical repair down the road. You don’t have to be a pinball purist to still enjoy the game. Glad I held back on the Zizzle
Quoted from PinRob:Really?
Yes, Really?
Yeah kids Enjoying reading, math, science, shapes, colors, and computers early is sooo sad. I better get him back to stacking blocks so he can advance his education in a more advanced curriculum! umph.
Quoted from Diospinball:You ordered one even though you got at least 2 of the 12 games... Just ribbing you a bit.
You got an amazing collection. I wish I could be one of your grandkids!! As I'd always be begging my parents to sleep over your place.
As my grandson is in Florida I think driving to grandpas would be a long weekend. lol. This is just to help him understand what he can expect on a grander scale when he visits and get the fundamentals down. Then I will challenge him to some BBB and MM. lol
Quoted from pipes:I just can’t wrap my head around the fascination with these doll-house sized arcade and pinball games. Grown men playing on kiddie cabs...I don't get it.
Unless your kidding it IS a toy for Kids? Sorry this seems more favorable to spend $399 delivered to a child then buying him/her a $9500 game to color with crayons. This game is not for adults or Pinside, its a Toy for Kids.
Quoted from Wickerman2:So, a $400 vpin will be awesome then? I’d wait for some reviews before dumping $400 on what might be a disposable. They are hitting a good price point though. Should sell a bunch.
Reviews? It’s a Children’s Toy! Lol why do we feel the need to judge the actual toy as if it’s an Adult toy just because it has pinball in the title? Will Road and Track be doing a review on the peddle Car I bought hit also because it’s a Car? Amazing how over the top serious people get about a simple toy to make a child happy. The comments in this thread are comical.
Quoted from Wickerman2:Yup. That’s happening. Calm down.
Your so right I will tell him I need to count the coils and see the code on this Huge toy investment because Pinside said so. lol Seriously, its a Toy! If you don't have Young kids or grandkids I totally understand but this doesn't seem worthy of a right/wrong debate....

Quoted from Stuieb84:Does anyone know if this can be purchased outside of the USA? I'm keen to buy one, but live in Australia.
Best to just go to Walmart.com and find out as it’s a shipped item only not in store as I understand. If the site ships to your area your set.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:Your American is showing. I’ve never found that Walmart.com will ship any product to Canada that walmart.ca doesn’t already sell.
One example is arcade1up machines. They don’t ship here from the states, even if your willing to pay import fees and shipping. Not just Walmart; ebay, Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, ect. A lot of American retailers don’t ship out of the country.
Hopefully these are distributed world wide, because if you’re lucky enough to to find an American eBay reseller willing to ship internationally, then you’ll be paying through the nose.
Again using Arcade1up as an example. Mortal Kombat was just released in Canada. Last week was the 1st time I saw any retailer advertise then, they’re $549 cdn. Two months ago when they were released in USA the only place I was able to find one that shipped here was on eBay for over $1000 cdn once you factor in dollar exchange and shipping. Really not an option.
Might be American but I don’t work at Walmart so it was a simple suggestion. Seems like going to the site would only take 1 minute to answer his question. No clue on arcade1up as I have no interest nor did he ask about them?
My grandsons scale Pinball is in route finally. Wish granted and maybe some day he can carry that interest into full priced games. My guess is by that time pins will cost 40k...
Quoted from northvibe:You going to set it up when you get it or wait for him to open?
As its his Xmas request I think it will be best NIB. I have my own toys to play with this was something he wanted so he gets to open it.
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:I'm in... should arrive on 12/13. I think it's a great value at $400. I'll be anxious to hear more, from people who rec've theirs, in the next day or 2.
Kerry
Notice received my grandsons should be here Friday. Looking at that video overview someone kindly posted I am Certain he will love it and I will enjoy sharing some time with him on it.
