My advice don't get one unless you plan on chasing after balls none stop Chat Icon .
If you still want one, I like the ones you posted but you are going to need A LOT of balls to just cover the bottom at least.

we have an older one, moose mountain's gumball playland. sorry don't have a pic handy to put in here.

its about a 5ft diameter round one, and we have a good 300 balls in it... anything less and it looks empty. and the balls get squished and break, really i could probably use a new 100 in it... (but i've been using this thing on and off for the last 5 years, it owes me nothing)

I love this one. I wanted it for my DS, but his uncle got him something bigger.

I have the same question-where to you keep these-especially this one because it seems really big. Is it meant for outside? We've been looking into these, but I have no idea where we would put it.

Either my basement or the backyard (during the summer)

I have the catalog with me...the picture shows 250 balls.
It's $149.95 (includes 50 balls) and you can buy 100 extra balls for $24.95.

I actually like this one better - it folds up compact and you can see through the sides. Although you will be chasing balls around.

$59.95 with 100 balls and 100 extra balls is $24.95
