I picked up this miniature tabletop Spiderman Pinball game at a nearby dollar general. It's the exact same one you see here, so I'm qualified to write a review. The plastic housing is very strong-I think you could drop it on carpeted flooring and it would be fine, though I'm not going to test this theory. The sound effects rival that of the full-size pinball machines you find in arcades! The lights are in the five bumpers, and they flash on and off together when you hit any one of them.Important Note: These bumpers are NOT the mechanical kind you see on big machines; they are metal springs that register 10 points when touched, and they bounce the ball back if they're hit hard enough. They DO NOT force the ball back with mechanical action. But, I wouldn't expect that from a very inexpensive toy.
Oh, which brings me to price: I payed twenty bucks for mine and later found it at their website for $15. There's one here, direct from Amazon for $49.99. But, this seller, 911Drugstore, wants Two Hundred Dollars! Really? No, seriously...REALLY??
I'm an adult, by the way. I bought this for myself, and I love it! It's a very cheap (depending on where you buy it) way to get a quick pinball fix!
