No, they frustrate the hell out of me

I rule at those, or did when i was younger.
On a interislander trip I got a good stash of stuffed toys.
another trip to time out saw me walk away with a set of south park dolls too.
woop woop.

maybe if they had something other than soft toys....

like transformers or model cars

maby if you said pokies my answer might of been diff. but these seem to be in alot of pubs as well right beside the pokies

The most I have won from those is a powerpuff girl doll, the one with the dark hair

I hate them. I keep thinking how impossible it is to win on those things, yet I can't help but play them whenever I see one

God damn you human condition

I was addicted, but the challenge wasnt there anymore, probably got one 25-% of the time. I got two in a row once, then some little kid tried and failed, then cried.

Now I have moved onto the skill/reaction ones, where you stack the bricks up. The major prizes in those are like PSPs and stuff.
Closest I have been is one block away

I think you mean "Buttercup". Is it sad that I know that?

they are very easy to master if you know what you are doing.

There are pretty much never-fail ways to use them

enlighten us, they seem to have a weak grasp whenever i try to use them, my aim rules, but i reckon they either purposely make all the good toys too heavy, or make the claw too weak

skill tester my ass, it's not lack of skill when the infernal machine can't hold on to the prize

I also have come pretty close a few times on that skill tester brick one - it is amazingly adictive. I hate the one with the dial that goes round and round with the + and - thing. Its stupid - i swear its rigged.

Still havent won anything from the brick one yet i always seem to play it...

Ah i hate them. My gf is fricken terrible, she'd live in front of one if i let her. She does seem to win most of the time though. Not that we have room at our house for a cheap spongebob toy collection/pile.
Maximum Tune is my arcade vice
