UGEARSQuidditch Pinball Machine - Harry Potter 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults to Build Mechanical Wooden Model Kit - Working Wood Brain Teaser Pinball Game for Fathers Day - Advanced Level 402 Pcs

All the U-Gears products provide a little difficulty but for puzzle lovers and people that love making models this is right up your alley. The difficulty wasn’t too hard on this one and turned out to be a great fit with the train model as well.

My grandson loved it. It was very tedious but loved the challenge.

Awesome gift for the Harry Potter lover.

I got it today and put it together in about 4 hours. I have a Hogwarts train set that I'm going to put this around on the floor, which is why I didn't add the track to this. I'm very happy with it. The size is great for my train set. If you're wanting to put it on a shelf, then just be cautious of the measurements. It will take up a lot of space on a shelf. I have many HP 3d puzzles and thought this would be interesting to do - different. Putting it together was kind of difficult. You have to really snap things together to make it fit. The problem doing that? It's wood... it breaks. I had a lot of pieces break and was screaming "how can people do this without it breaking?!" But I kept going. That's what super glue is for! When I was finished, some parts that broke were thankfully hidden with other pieces for me to let it go. I'm very happy with it because I know it's going to look great with my train! Just be warned the pieces are very hard to put together and breakable. I tried being very gentle but it didn't always work. The end product I'm very happy with. Be cool if they did a Hogsmeade station next.

I enjoy putting together these 3D wood puzzles. Most of them have rather flimsy wood so I was skeptical that I was going to be able to use this little pinball puzzle once I finished, but the wood was actually quite sturdy. I will advise that you rotate whatever part you're working on to match the picture... and have a set of tiny needle nosed pliers on hand (I have a pair I use for jewelry making. It helped both with squeezing the pieces so they go together more easily and with poking the pieces back out when you inevitably assemble them incorrectly. The end pinball machine has a few dead zones, but honestly those could easily be my fault with the assembly. Other than that it plays like a proper pinball machine with semi-manual scoring. It was also really cool seeing how all the pieces fit together and worked. Now I can enjoy a game of pinball whenever I want.

I liked this design and I'm glad I bought it, assembled it, and even got it to run a little. Again, a very cleverly engineered model (especially the spring mechanism) and even a little sturdier than some of the other U-Gears projects I've built. So I would recommend it, but with the understanding that it'll never work correctly (which unfortunately is the case).

I had a great time putting this together. It runs well and when it runs into a wall the trunk and doors pop open and throws your luggage out. Hilarious! Very attractive display too! Glad it's powered by a steel spring instead of rubber bands. I also like it because it ties well to the movies and I had a little Ford Anglia when I was in high school. If you ever built models when you were a kid this will bring back memories and create new ones. Who even knew about wooden kits back then?

Fun to put together. 7 year old loves playing with it and has pretty durable considering the 7 year old treatment.
