Review: Good - Vary good
Review: Great Toy - My 4 year old son has not put this down since we assembled it 2 days ago. The balls do not shoot very fast but are fairly accurate. Assembly process was simple but the pieces were too difficult for him to snap together on his own. Recommended for ages 8 and up so that was not a surprise.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What if the balls do not shoot out? They wont pass through the orange piece. It feels like it is going to snap.**
A: Our experience was similar to yours. It turned out that we had placed two parts in at the wrong orientation. We had to reassemble parts of it two or three times before we got it right.

**Q: Does anyone sell replacement balls?  My children have lost them all.**
A: I don't have any, but here is the company information. They deal in replacement parts.
