Nakano Broadway in particular has tons of shops with crane game figmas available for purchase for cheap. While itвЂ™s more about playing and the thrill of winning than the actual prize, if it does happen to be a prize that you really want like a character figma, thereвЂ™s a good chance youвЂ™ll find it in a bargain bin at Tsutaya, Animate or one of the countless shops in Akihabara or Nakano Broadway. Giant plushies and limited edition Pokemon merch might be different story, but theyвЂ™reВ probably still out there. It goes without saying that most of the figmas, trinkets and plush dolls in UFO catchers can be found online and in shops for under ВҐ 2,000 or less. Yikes!ДЄkihabara is a mecca for UFO catchersВ |В Photo by Gregory Lane Some places even let you use your Suica or Pasmo card to play. Really consider if that green dinosaur is worth two hoursвЂ™ pay. ВҐ 1,800 in and you have no idea if it is any closer to dropping or not. The teeter-totter like games in particular will mess with your head as that Yoshi doll moves back and forth, back and forth. I donвЂ™t care if heвЂ™s dressed in the shirt from the filler episodes where he and Piccolo are trying to get their driverвЂ™s license. That plastic Goku figure is not worth ВҐ 2,000, and there is absolutely no guarantee that youвЂ™re going to win it. The gamblerвЂ™s fallacy is a pretty well known trope, but itвЂ™s worth remembering. If a prize doesnвЂ™t budge after one or two wasted coins, consider playing something else. Just because itвЂ™s looks easy doesnвЂ™t mean it is. Some games just demand high accuracy in and a lot of skill. YouвЂ™ll learn pretty quickly what you suck at.

Some prizes youвЂ™ll have to push or pull, others you have to nudge or slide multiple times until you win, dropping ВҐ 100 at every turn. Look around in a game station at all the different prizes and youвЂ™ll see dozens of different ways to win. UFO catchers (or crane games) are no different. In sports some people are great at soccer, but couldnвЂ™t hit a baseball to save their life.
