This one was a long time coming!
For so long I wanted to buy the pinball machine, and at the start of this year 2026, I found one at my local craft store ON SALE!
I was in the middle of moving house to another town 1.5 hours away…. I have 3 boys and work full time as a manager, and in the middle of packing/ slowly moving my stuff!
I took a month off in Feb, and in-between settling into my new life I started the kit.
I’m not gonna lie, I am pretty hopeless at taking progress photos and it wasn’t until I discovered this community through the Facebook group AFTER completing my pinball machine that iv decided it’s a pretty important/ useful thing to do! the other problem I had was…. My phone didn’t have enough storage, so a month ago I decided to bite the bullet and get a more useful phone, and the group had a big influence on doing so! Hahaha
Here’s the one progress photo I took..
Anyways, fast forward to now…. And I want to share my pinball machine, after 6 months of building in my limited down time from kids, work etc….
So since this one, I have been thinking how I REALLY wanna make multiple pinball machines in many different colour themes!
I would like to custom with blue/black lights and use neon colours, I have even thought about making a custom mushroom themed one, I am lucky enough to have a father who has a laser cutter/printer, so have already thought of many different designs with the use of that!
But what I would REALLY like to see from Rokr, is an entire catalog of arcade style kits so I can make a mini arcade room in my home for myself and my kiddies to enjoy! In the meantime though… my current Wishlist of kits is long, and I’ll continue to chip away at it!
Thanks Robotime for bringing me joy!
definitely worth the long wait
I love that the pinball machine sparked so many ideas for custom versions too. A whole ROKR arcade room would be absolutely amazing, especially one the whole family could enjoy! You definitely earned this finished build!
