Minifigure Gumball Machine (LEGO 21358)

About this set

This is LEGO Ideas set 21358, a minifigure gumball machine with 1343 pieces and a 5/5 difficulty rating, part of the scene category. The build is a candy machine: a red body under a transparent cylindrical dome that shows the capsule balls inside, with a ball outlet at the front and a gray coin knob. The silhouette matches a real gumball machine. The tricky parts are the clear cylindrical dome and the internal capsule arrangement, so check the transparent parts for scratches first, then sort by color and part type; build the red shell first, then work through the capsule balls, outlet, and knob mechanism so you do not backtrack. At 5/5 the steps are dense and alignment matters, so builders with mid-size set experience will be more comfortable, and newcomers should set aside uninterrupted time. It suits scene-display fans and anyone curious about gumball machines, and the clear dome and red shell are useful structural reference for MOC work.
