Purchasing a real pinball machine can cost a fortune, often costing over $1,000. They also take up a lot of space, making them less suitable for a cozy apartment or small home. Luckily, these DIY tabletop pinball machines are a fun option for anyone who wants to play pinball for free. Not only do they look eye-catching, they take up minimal space and are affordable. The most affordable model is available for only $27 for a limited time (originally $35).

The Smartivity DIY Pinball Machine recreates much of the fun you find in an actual, full-size pinball machine. When you assemble the 375-piece kit, you’ll have a compact pinball machine that’s only 13 inches long. The kit has two working flippers, a ball-launching mechanism, and lots of cool targets to aim at. Smartivity says the game is perfect for kids ages 8 to 14, but any pinball fan will likely enjoy this quirky game. It’s on sale for $27 on Amazon for the next few days, saving you a few dollars compared to the usual $25 list price.
If you’re looking for something a little fancier, you can pick up the unofficial Star Wars Micro Pinball Machine for $145. This 18-inch kit takes about 12 hours to assemble, making it a better choice for teens and young adults. When you’re done, you’ll have an interactive machine complete with lights, sound effects, and plenty of Star Wars-themed obstacles to maneuver.
Several other micro pinball machines are also available for purchase, including the ROKR Micro Pinball Machine for $135 (originally priced at $160) and the Harry Potter Quidditch Pinball Machine for $90 (originally priced at $100). Both are complex structures best suited for young adults, although both will make great additions to a playroom when eventually completed. Below you will find a short list of all micro marble deals.
