I’m torn on this one, as I’ve figure out a fix for the defects in the product. And I can see the value in the trick. That’s why I got it. But for $60, I shouldn’t have to fix a brand new gimmick. It should work out of the box. Until they fix this product, I have to call it out as low as possible. This should have never happened. The day before these arrived, people on Facebook mentioned that theirs were defective.

Some people were upset that you could see the seam in the pieces. You can, but I kind of doubt an audience member would notice. If I created these at home, I wouldn’t think anything of that. For $60? There shouldn’t be a gap that can be seen in the pieces.

The die doesn’t fit in the queen’s base, so it is loose in the piece and you can hear it rattle. To fix it, I had to take a chisel into the base to allow the die to fit better and stick toilet paper into the queen so that it doesn’t make noise. Again, if I personally created this at home, not a big deal. But for $60? The pieces should be custom made to fit the size of the dice, as that is their only job. A shell that doesn’t fit the coin or die or whatever, doesn’t work.

Murphy’s needs to recall any of the products they’ve sent out and offer a replacement queen. I’ll let the rest go, but come on. Maybe then I’ll edit this review.

I agree that the die doe NOT fit into the Queen's Base. This is NOT like Murphy's or Penguin to allow such a thing. Fortunately, I have a friend who was able to make the Queen's interior base larger to where the die fits perfectly now. I would NOT use a chisel however. It is a nice accessory but not worth that much, especially when it needs to be modified before you can use all the pieces.
