Yes, its finished!! The majestic pinball machine is finished and will be filmed hopefully on Tuesday. I didn't do it today because it's night here and its just too dark. Since the last update I finished off parts on the ball dispenser and added a coin tray so I can get the profit. Unfortunately there are no pictures this time because I didn't want to spoil it so if you want to see everything stay tuned for the week. I also changed the pinball board so there would be more space to move the ball around and also bought some rubber bands to make the flipper mechanism. The flippers were a pain because they would jam often until I found a way to stop it to do so. I put two rubber bands per flipper so there would be more friction and would need more force to push which I like. Overall, this is the last update of the Lego Pinball Machine V1 and see you next time with new creations and Lego news.

Lego Pinball Machine Version 1 On Its Way!
Its has been a while since my last creation which was Lego Coin Bank V2. I decided to change things a little bit and I am currently building a new machine. This pinball machine consists of a regular candy machine mechanism to dispense the balls for gameplay. Its not an old boring pinball machine without a reward. Even though its the first version, I thought of adding a reward system where when the ball gets into the hole, the player will receive a prize which I have not decided yet. The prize will probably be twice the money you will be paying to play the game. So if you put 1 dollar to get the marbles from the dispenser and make it into the hole, you will get 2 dollars back. It is up to you what to do with the money but why not play some more? So far the machine is about 25-30% complete because there are a lot more details I will have to consider to make an interesting machine. The machine does niot have any Mindstorms or Power Functions to power the machine. I really like how I did the "WIN" and "$" signs because they really stand out well. Here are some pictures of the progress and the things I still need to work on. Below there is a preview in different angles of the amazing machine:
