Save Big On A 1,910-Piece Claw Machine Building Set That Actually Works

Over the past five years, building-set manufacturer Pantasy has made a name for itself with impressive brick-built models. Pantasy's catalog includes officially licensed building sets based on Astro Boy, Garfield, The Little Prince, and Dragon Ball Z as well as a series of retro-inspired tech models. One of Pantasy's newest building sets might be its most ambitious: a working claw machine game. If that sounds cool to you, you have until 12 AM PT (December 17) to snag the 1,910-piece build for its lowest price yet. Normally $140 on Amazon and $150 on Pantasy's site, the Claw Machine is on sale for $99.

Amazon's limited-time deal drops the price to $109, but you can save an additional $10 by clicking the coupon box on the store page. After reading about this extremely cool building set, you can check out our roundup of the best Pantasy building deals at the bottom of this story, including an officially licensed iGame Gaming Desktop for $64 (was $70), Sherlock Holmes' 3,000-plus piece apartment for $99.19 (was $130), a Retro Gumball Machine for $59.49 (was $80), and the Retro Desktop Computer for $75 (was $90).

If you've only ever built Lego sets, it's worth noting Pantasy's bricks are fully compatible with Lego. This is common with non-Lego building sets, including Mega Bloks, Jazware's BLDR, and Brick Shop Hot Wheels cars.
