    Quoted from Tmezel:

    I saw these at mine. There are also smaller tabletop versions too for 24.99.

    I have the Star Wars Free Standing Pinball toy, got it for $50 NIB awhile back before I was ready to buy a real pinball machine.

    The only pro really compared to a commercial grade pin is that the thing works as expected since there's very little that can break and you could certainly buy non-pinball things for $50 that are a lot less enjoyable.

    There's no real bumpers though (all those things that LOOK like bumpers are just circular scoring targets), the thing in the middle is freaking loud and spins like mad, able to whip the ball at insane speeds, the lights on the playfield don't really follow any sort of pattern, the flippers take a surprisingly large amount of force to push in all the way and are comically huge, (in fact, if you press both flippers in half-way you can completely block the ball from draining), the lack of rubber surfaces means the ball really doesn't "bounce" off of anything, it runs off of 3 C-cell batteries and there's NO option for an AC adaptor, and the score display only goes up to 99,900, which is VERY easy to get to.

    It IS ultimately intended as a children's toy though. In short bursts it's OK, but you wouldn't want to play it for more than 5 to 10 minutes at a time. : P
