Fat Brain ToysElectronic Arcade Pro Pinball Games for Ages 6 to 10

I had been looking for a Pinball machine like this as a Christmas gift for my kids for a couple of years, but they were always sold out by the time I started my Christmas shopping in November. This year I purposefully started shopping for this item in October so that I would have it for Christmas.It was a huge delight for my kids on Christmas morning for the 20 minutes they challenged each other with this enjoying the many scoring opportunities. I had fun texting photos of them playing with it to their cousins.Then after 20 minutes of playing time, all of the functions stopped working except the noise and some of the lights. What a bummer from Santa Claus!!! It was their favorite gift on Christmas morning, just like I had expected it would be.I put brand new batteries in it and I took them out and used the AC plug. Same result either wayBut unfortunately since I ordered it in October to be sure I had it for Christmas, it is outside of the return window. So I am out the $203 I paid for this now piece of trash that is bound for an electronic recycle bin as soon as I can find one.
