That’s super neat!
I’m guessing the balls are Lego pieces? What are they from?
Is it fully functioning? Does it make a good chunking sound like the real mechanical vending machines?
This link will show you what pieces are used in this set and it appears this is the only set you can get them in.

Isn’t this what nearly bankrupted LEGO in the '90s? A bunch of specialized pieces which only appeared in one (or very few) sets?
I think you might be right…
Thanks!!
They are Lego pieces that come apart in to two separate pieces. Inside there are various minifigs! No idea where they first appeared. Give me a few minutes to try to figure that out.
Yes! And yes!! You have to put a “coin” in and then you can turn the handle and it chunks pretty good!!
Such a fun set. As soon as I saw it online I knew I had to have one. And it was so worth it! They did such a good job, and even included the original AFOL designer as one of the minifigs!
Yes! It is a fun set to build!! I also loved that fact about the designer! The minifigs they choose are pretty rad as well!
Here’s the minifigs:
I also included one of the balls split apart so you can take a look at it.
