These things are a rip. The claws are made in such a way that it's remarkably difficult to actually get anything without practice. Sometimes it's pretty much impossible.
I'm not sure why anyone would wast their money on them.*
Those things are a total racket. The claws are so flimsy that they can barely pick anything up no matter what you do. Some are even computer controlled to adjust the grip strength according to a payout percentage, making them nothing more than overglorified slot machines.
In Japan you're supposed to enthusiastically make one or two attempts within sight of the staff members walking around, then catch their eye and ask them nicely to move the stuff around to make it easier for you. They will always do it, and you can usually "win" a worthless trinket in 3 tries.
As if there would be a staff member within a mile of one of these here. When the kid crawls inside, nobody has a key and they end up cutting em open. (The machine, not the kid although... )
Things are different there. Of course, in Japan, they have a claw machine full of breasts.
Seriously, I glanced at that askance without reading the header and went "hrrm wtf a grabber machine full of onions?" then went 'ahhh pervy boob grabbing robot must be japanese.
You must be 18+ to play :)
I don't understand the name... What does Pearl Harbor have to do with boobs?
VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!!!
Tiger tiger tiger.
Perhaps they fear the symmetry of breasts.
"Baby, you make me wish I had three hands."

You can buy these for $6.69 (inc delivery) from Hong Kong here:

This company is legit - i've spent hundreds of dollars with them, though there is a couple of week delay (sometimes months) before you get your stuff.
Damn you must really like those plastic things. I hope you got a wholesale discount though.
From the comments on that web site:
*sigh* Isn't it always the way?
Same reviewer: "I should definitely buy a second one."

Hey now, some of us like nails.
It's the hay and the checkered tablecloth that give it that good ol' country flavor.
