Heads up: This post is 15 years old. My thinking may have evolved since then — read it with that in mind.
First time in my life winning a big toy in those UFO catcher machines :D
Went to the new SEGA arcade in Akihabara tonight with AniDotMe [http://www.ani.me] founder Mike Prasad and he taught me the trick to winning this gigantic Glommy plush toy cushion! ¥500 for 3 tries, the trick is to hook its tag!!!!!!!! Definitely a bit a beginner’s luck there but hell yeah it was epic when the claws pick the whole thing up!!! :D
Thanks Mike!!!!
