    Default Just bought a Star Galaxy 3/4 machine (toy)

    I bought one as a surprise gift for my 5 year old nephew, along with a toy pachinko as he thankfully has a liking for mechanical amusement as well as that of the video variety. I was looking for something a step up from plastic table toy, but not quite out of the toy realm.

    It's a bit closer to "real" and quite frankly I wouldn't mind if very much if my sister said I have to keep it because she doesn't have the room for it.

    I have to pick it up in a couple days one state over. I spent $140 USD which I find to be a pretty good deal.
    Here's a video someone else selling the same machine made:

    I could not find any of the Zizzle machines, but this appears to be along the lines nonetheless.
    Does anyone have this or know of it?
    I can't find much of any info on this machine other than it's not made by Zizzle, who I think are out of business themselves.

    I'm also looking to get my own, but would prefer 3/4 size until I've settled on a home.
    Are there any quality 3/4's around?

    If you are REALLY keen for the smaller sized pins (not Zizzle as far as I'm aware), John Yates in Illinois has some of the back catalogue machines.

    Pretty nice mini. My nephew likes it but he's got a cold so he couldn't play it much due to holding a tissue to his nose constantly. There are worse ways a 4 year old can deal with a runny nose, so I'm grateful.

    The gap between flippers is a bit brutal for a kid, and while somewhat weak, the ball gets propelled up the ramp fine. I may replace the buttons as I don't care for the pressure needed to activate the flippers. Overall a really nice option for a decent pinball game without the cost and space requirements of a full sized arcade machine. It's a shame the 3/4 market didn't take off.
