## Description

Ever dreamed of having a vending machine in your room? With this engineering kit, you can build and experiment with your own toy vending machine. First, follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble the machine. Then test and configure it to get it working perfectly. Load your vending machine with the included soda-bottle gummy candies or any other small candies or prizes you supply, and you’re in business! Insert some coins and have fun watching them get sorted, perform stunts as they slide down the tracks, dispense prizes, and finally end up in the coin bank in the base of the machine. This awesome vending machine has four main interactive segments: First, you insert coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies) into the slot at the top and turn a knob to sort the coins. Then, the coins fall into an interactive coin track area where they slide down ramps, make jumps, and ring bells. Next, the coins fall into a device that allows you to make your “purchase” with the push of a button. Finally, your prize pops out of the machine, and the coin falls into the bank, sorted into neat stacks by denomination. The vending machine can sit on a tabletop or hang on a wall. A small key allows you to access the vending machine compartments for refilling the prizes. Explore lessons in physics, math, and mechanical engineering as you build and play with the vending machine. Learn about gears and other simple machines, gravity, forces, motion, and collisions. Try some simple math lessons related to the coins and money.

Review: Product works great if following instructions exactly. Had a part break after normal use. Contacted support and they right away tried to send me the broken piece. Unfortunately, customs denied the package 3 times. So, Thames & Kosmos sent me a whole new set! Thanks for such great customer service.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by H***L on 29 December 2025*

My box came with no shipping box around it and someone opened it. It was missing the candy, instructions and the billboard. Otherwise we were able to assemble it and the kids loved it! Amazon needs to make sure not to ship the box vulnerable like this. Either it opened in shipping or in the conveyor system and someone shoved by they thought belonged inside. Who knows. It was also missing a spring from factory. I used an old pen spring and stretched it out to match and it worked great. Assembly was easy but can be a bit flimsy on the obstacle course pieces. But it seems acceptable for what it is. I think it's worth the price though. Just not worth it if everyone is having parts fall out of the shipping box.
