## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent purchase
*by J***O on October 26, 2018*

I have 3 boys, 9, 7 and 5 and we all had fun putting this toy together and getting the trick shot. Super cheap in price, but durable and provides a great deal of fun

### ⭐⭐ Disappointing unless used for a different purpose
*by N***D on February 10, 2018*

I’m teaching an enrichment class about inventing with students in grades 3 and 4. We had just talked about Rube Goldberg when I came across these kits. They were at a drastically reduced clearance price at Target and I got a couple more on sale here at amazon.After reading the reviews and testing one at home, I knew I couldn’t use them as intended with my students. But with a different focus, they gave me a great lesson.Instead of the students trying to build them to work, I told them right away that reviews showed that they didn’t work. Inventors need to test and improve their inventions. The students’ job was to find out which parts worked and which parts didn’t. Then they were to think about what they would change to potentially make it work.There was one boy who saw what I had and said at the beginning with a scowl, “I have one of those. It doesn’t work! It’s terrible!” At the end of class, the same boy said with an excited smile, “That was so fun!”None of the 6 sets (including this one) actually worked for us. Maybe if you had more luck at balancing and lining things up exactly right, you would do a bit better. Be prepared to make adjustments toward that end. And in a home situation you will probably only use this once, so don’t spend much on it.All my students said that this company must not have tested their products and that they should go back to the drawing board to fix them.1 star for the excitement of my students (even in their “failures”)1 star for customer service (They were friendly and helpful to send a replacement for a missing piece.)I’d like to give it another star for giving me a successful lesson, but it doesn’t really deserve it since it didn’t do what it’s supposed to do.

### ⭐ Don’t waste your money on this product!
*by C***K on August 28, 2019*

Wack! Don’t even waste your money. I bought this for my son for his birthday and he and I got frustrated at how certain pieces don’t fit or line up correctly with other pieces. It looks perfect on the box and in YouTube videos but when we actually tried to put this together he had difficulty or he put it together and a short time later it will fall apart on its own.
