Candy Pinball

What it is: Pinball is a beloved classic which has had innumerable versions ranging from wooden tables and hand-held toys to modern arcades and computer games. It is often styled with fun themes, so here I have made a series of coloured gumballs being launched into a candy world. The flippers and plunger work, and I've represented black licorice, coloured gumballs, lollies and jelly babies, as well as wafers, chocolate, biscuits and lollipops.

Why I built it: I genuinely believe pinball would be fantastic in LEGO form and I would love to share the joy of pinball with others.

Why it would be a great set: Pinball is nostalgic for many people worldwide, this candy version is unique, and it is a fun building experience combining aesthetics, functional mechanisms and varied parts.
