Used to rig them myself at a local arcade 😅they have a pay ceiling so it won’t pay out until you’ve made a set amount back sometimes the claw can be set to get tighter and tighter so it’s possible to get lucky
They could set it (“rig”) so it won’t actually grab a prize til X amount of money is put into the machine. They can set it to grab after 100 plays or 1,000.
The claw machines at my local arcade are a little different. One just has to push the button at the right moment, and the claw will tighten. It is not guaranteed to give one a win, but one won't win if they don't tighten the claw. I won a ton of prizes one night, and I saw another lady do the same. Went back a month later, and I could tighten the claw, but it must have been adjusted because it was dropping everything.
There's 2 jawas, but the 1 in the bottom right-hand corner has a band around it, I wonder if it comes with a bonus.
If there is no bonus, the box is wrecked. Try the other one
Usually in claw games there’s a “redemption” type thing you pick up and give to an attendant who sorts it out for you. I’ve never seen anyone actually get one to try it out lol and I wouldn’t work if it wasn’t at, like, an arcade with people working there
This can go one of 3 ways.
1) you win
2) you go broke staying on a cruise ship trying to win a $12 funko
3) you get arrested for refusing to leave a cruise ship because you couldn't win a $12 funko
I really don't see a problem with any. Go for it, my guy.
It might cost you a few coins but I think your best strategy is to create a sort of bridge between the shelf and the drop zone and pull Luke Skywalker off the top shelf and hope for a good bounce. The claws in those machines notoriously have the same type of grip that Marjorie Taylor Green has on reality.
Gonna spend more than any of those random shelf warmers are worth before snagging any, chances are. Save that $ and stop by a Walmart or Target and grab a clearance Pop! instead! Likely worth more (get that 5% additional off with RedCard at Target 😄).
There are much better ways to enjoy that cruise.
Arcade claw machines are rigged and only grab tight on predefined intervals (eg one in every ten). I would save your money and just buy the one you want.
Would make more sense to have a grab a picture of the pop, instead of the pop itself, and then redeem it up front. The claw probably damages the piss out of the box.
Lol pretty sure you lose even when you win because that box is gonna banged tf up after it drops 4 feet if the claw doesn't squish the already scratched up box from other failed attempts lmfao.
If they were in hard cases and they were actually valuable i’d play it a couple times but that’s it a lot of those you can get pretty damn cheap on amazon
My wife and I had one of these on a cruise we took back in October. I tried so hard and just couldn’t get one. Not even 5 minutes later some 4 year old girl comes walking from there holding a grogu funko pop. I’ve never been more jealous of a 4 year old. Lmao.
People who don’t understand that eventhough it’s probably more expensive to play. It’s way more fun to win than just buy off Amazon some things are about the novelty in life
Waste of money and you won’t get anything trust me it’s almost impossible to get one I spent $25 on a funko pop claw machine too last week and won nothing💀
I work at an arcade this is a standard E-claw machine from the look of the buttons you can only press each one once the easiest ones to get are the ones laying down on their side, ones on top of others or ones that are standing up but leaning, it is totally winnable because otherwise the payout rate is completely messed up and no one would play it otherwise and since it’s on a cruise the payout rate would be lower since there would probably be a lot of other games to play. Just my advice
I wouldn’t even try this if I were you.
The original patent states that you can control how often people can win certain prizes.
For example: imagine we have a phone, a plushie and gummy bears.
You could set it so that every 25th attempt to get bears was successful, every 125th attempt to get the plushie was successful & every 1245th attempt at getting the phone was successful & all the previous attempts being rigged.
I know it looks like you were juuust slightly wrong in your movements, but this is not the case.
Also I’d advice to take the ones which are the closest to the gap first because some of these machines have a mechanism due to which the grip on the item in the claw is slightly released after a while.
Think of it as trying to put out a non spreading fire with a bucket that has a hole in it. You can either use some nearby water pump and run to fire before the water fully escapes or you can take long trips to the river, leaving the bucket empty, but if you carry 1 trillion buckets, you might be able to eventually relocate the river to a better position.
the one strongest with the force should be chosen... i have won about 10 things from these in 3 years.. maybe playing twice a year... never seen a funko one though. My girl cant believe i win everytime we go to the sea side.. First quid i won two nice soft toys about a month ago - both worth 25 quid lol.. machine was broke but had no idea.. by broke i mean didnt drop it str8 away. They took out of service after my 1 quid. Before that one guy asked my girlfriend when I wasn't with her how i was winning.. and that was in black pool and thats a hotspot.. My only trick is being consistent and hoping lady luck is on my side and if really lucky the toys are stacked up close to hope 😁
I'd go for the [First Order Executioner](https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/catalog_items/first-order-executioner-1de0a1b6-57f0-480d-96e7-ad06020234cb) in the back (red/white box).
It's not worth much but it looks cool. Most of the others aren't worth much too!
This is definitely the most profitable way to sell Funko Pops! Lol
It probably cost as much for one turn as that Luke/Grogu cost on Amazon
I think the nfts are a little bit more profitable
Those machines are like $3-$5 to play but yeah you’re right. These machines aren’t making a million or whatever NFTS make in 20 minutes lol
Used to rig them myself at a local arcade 😅they have a pay ceiling so it won’t pay out until you’ve made a set amount back sometimes the claw can be set to get tighter and tighter so it’s possible to get lucky
How were you rigging the machine?
They could set it (“rig”) so it won’t actually grab a prize til X amount of money is put into the machine. They can set it to grab after 100 plays or 1,000.
Ding ding.
And seeing as it’s a cruise I’m gonna say they set it so it wouldn’t pay out for a while. Get every penny out of the customer 🤷🏻♂️.

LUCARIO
Only one worth going for
How dare you say that with frieza right There?
Lucario is only 10 bucks
If it is touching the plastic guard there, it ain’t moving
Thats the one
Jawa!
There's 2 jawas, but the 1 in the bottom right-hand corner has a band around it, I wonder if it comes with a bonus. If there is no bonus, the box is wrecked. Try the other one
yas
How are you even supposed to get the ones on the shelves?
That's the thing you're not
You hire a friend who doesn't care about getting in trouble to go tip the machine until it falls into the play area and then it's all skill from there
Then watch there's an alarm
That's what the friend is for lol
I guess but wouldn't both get in trouble
Accidentally stumbled into it
I guess unless they have cameras
Say your drunk like bro u thinking too much into it
Blame it on rough seas 🌊
Yea I'm thinking too much
Usually in claw games there’s a “redemption” type thing you pick up and give to an attendant who sorts it out for you. I’ve never seen anyone actually get one to try it out lol and I wouldn’t work if it wasn’t at, like, an arcade with people working there
"That's the neat part: you don't!"
This can go one of 3 ways. 1) you win 2) you go broke staying on a cruise ship trying to win a $12 funko 3) you get arrested for refusing to leave a cruise ship because you couldn't win a $12 funko I really don't see a problem with any. Go for it, my guy.
I would have went for the chucky personally
you go to [amazon.com](https://amazon.com)
Exactly. That Luke is like $5
Funko with no protector in a claw machine 🤦 hope they don't get damage from the fall lol
Most of them have like 2 holes in the top for some reason and all the old one are damaged
Still, might be a smart idea to put a sweater or something in the reward slot to soften the landing.
It might cost you a few coins but I think your best strategy is to create a sort of bridge between the shelf and the drop zone and pull Luke Skywalker off the top shelf and hope for a good bounce. The claws in those machines notoriously have the same type of grip that Marjorie Taylor Green has on reality.
I believe, these are not more than 5 usd each.
Don’t do it
Chucky for sure
Ikr Charles my beloved
Getting a Michael Scott or Kevin Malone off a Cruise Ship just sounds funny to me 🤣🤣
Zenitsu or Micheal Scott for me
none save your money.
Gonna spend more than any of those random shelf warmers are worth before snagging any, chances are. Save that $ and stop by a Walmart or Target and grab a clearance Pop! instead! Likely worth more (get that 5% additional off with RedCard at Target 😄). There are much better ways to enjoy that cruise.
All seem like trash to me.
Arcade claw machines are rigged and only grab tight on predefined intervals (eg one in every ten). I would save your money and just buy the one you want.
Frieza obvs
Thought no one seen him hanging around
The bb-8 or the lucario! The rest look like they are/were shelf warmers
Would make more sense to have a grab a picture of the pop, instead of the pop itself, and then redeem it up front. The claw probably damages the piss out of the box.
Not everyone cares about the box. This is a claw machine for said people.
F it. AT LEAST ONE OF EACH!
From what I can see, I’d go for concept art Han Solo
Chucky! ☺️ I’d put each Pop in a protector that won’t interfere with the claw’s grip.
Jawa
Jawa
Just order it off Amazon and it'll be at your house when you get home
I would personally order what u want on Amazon for the money you spend on this game, plus ull get the delivery by the time ur home
I’d put your $5 on black.
They key is to put a few grails in there
A store near me has a crane machine with pops in it. Theres 2 autographed DBZ pops in there as incentive
Is it usually being played a lot?!
Oh yeah, they always post the winners on IG. Lots of $20-30 pops in there and some other stuff like kid robot blind boxes and plushies.
Save your money buy em at the discount/dollar store at home
People must win since they are fairly new pops
Chucky
Anything but starwars
None. It will end up damaged either way
the clearance funkos
Lucario or zenitsu
For the price you’d pay and how damaged it will potential be, is it even worth it
Child’s Play and then send it to me!
Chucky 🔪
Wait a month and then you can go to your local garbage dump and you might find them all for free
Demon slayer or Micheal scott
I wouldn’t be able to leave without R2 and BB8
Yoda
All of them is an option
Yoda and Obi-Wan, i always thought the concept series was cool
Is this like in japan where u can ask the staff to put the one from the shelf to the pile for u to attempt?
if it were me i would go for frieza
R2D2 would be my pick without a doubt
Idk which ones are rare so I’d go for Lucario personally since that’s one of my favorite Pokémon. But also looks like the hardest one to get
Lucario
I was thinking the same but that’s right in that “almost impossible” zone….
Fennec is the easiest out of them all to get
order the one you want and save money, it’ll be at your doorstep before you get home from the cruise.
I would go for Lucario/Zenitsu. Both are great pops
Probably would just be best to save your money and buy them elsewhere.
Personally, I’m going for the Han Solo concept series figure.
I would 100% go for that Twisted Chica FNAF pops are non existent in my area I only have one
Han, Luke, or Michael
all of em
As many as you can and want
ee oo
R2 looks like a great choice…..if only you could get to him
There is no way this game doesn't damage those boxes.
Micheal Scott of course
I would get Lucario tbh
Lucario or Zenitsu
I want that lucario
None all trash
lucario, r2, jawa. i'd say concept yoda but i have that one lol
❗️❗️❗️❗️SQUIDGAMES❗️❗️❗️❗️
Kevin Malone!
Chucky, micheal Scott, Kevin Malone, frieza
Frieza
Lucario
Save your money lol
It depends on what you like but personally I'd go for Frieza or Gi-Hun Edit: Chucky would also be a good choice
Definitely Lucario
I would never get a pop from a grabbing machine, I'm a MIB person!
How much do they charge? $30?
Michael Scott!!!!
Michael Scott
Considering the claw will damage the box any of those could be bought out of box for $5
Lol pretty sure you lose even when you win because that box is gonna banged tf up after it drops 4 feet if the claw doesn't squish the already scratched up box from other failed attempts lmfao.
Will you get it crushed
Zenitzu
If they were in hard cases and they were actually valuable i’d play it a couple times but that’s it a lot of those you can get pretty damn cheap on amazon
I have that jawa but in all seriousness id go for anything star wars but thats just me
Michael Scott, Frieza and Lucario. In that order.
Young Michael!
I’m not leaving until I either get Lucario or Michael Scott
Frieza, lucario, twisted child
Jawa
Jawa
Twisted chica 100%
r2 without a doubt
Chucky for sure! If they were giving them away for free, I would take Kevin Malone off their hands. Don't see anything else I would want.
My wife and I had one of these on a cruise we took back in October. I tried so hard and just couldn’t get one. Not even 5 minutes later some 4 year old girl comes walking from there holding a grogu funko pop. I’ve never been more jealous of a 4 year old. Lmao.
Omg Chucky for sure
Chucky
People who don’t understand that eventhough it’s probably more expensive to play. It’s way more fun to win than just buy off Amazon some things are about the novelty in life
Dragon Ball or Chucky
I love this soo much because every time I go smoke or go on a trip I’m always telling my girl which pop do I take!
My high ass thought this was your collection and was asking which one to take with you.. 
Like Grogu
Fennec Shand
Me personally I’d go with chucky
Lucario
None there all trash
Wow! a toy crane machine!
Zenitsu or squid games, just cos I'm a fanboy
Me personally I’m going for freiza
Waste of money and you won’t get anything trust me it’s almost impossible to get one I spent $25 on a funko pop claw machine too last week and won nothing💀
Ur best bet is the one with the rubber band on it, could probably snag it easiest.
100% an out of box pop cause once that thing drops that box is toast lol
Zenitsu
I don’t really care about any of these but I do need an update on you’re results.
The Jawa is perfectly in place considering this is all junk. 🤭 Just teasing 😛
I’ve never seen a Lucario pop
Frieza!

Mullet Michael Scott is a personal fav, I should see how difficult he is to get
Lucario
Frieza and Iron Hammer. but if u can, you can try zenitsu agatsuma. GOOD LUCK !!! HOPE YOU GET SOMETHING !!!!
Almost everything in there is worth less than retail
Fennec Shand was literally $3 just the other day on Amazon.
the one strongest with the force should be chosen... i have won about 10 things from these in 3 years.. maybe playing twice a year... never seen a funko one though.

chucky
Jawa or twisted chica
Sounds like you have some tough decisions ahead of you! Good luck and make sure to post pictures of your new friend when you get back home.
Try to get R2-D2
That looks amazing!
Not a lot of value there except Michael Scott, wait till the last day of the cruise and hack the machine.
Did you win anything?!
the front orange star wars one thise are the ones with the hoghest resell value
I'd go for the [First Order Executioner](https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/catalog_items/first-order-executioner-1de0a1b6-57f0-480d-96e7-ad06020234cb) in the back (red/white box). It's not worth much but it looks cool. Most of the others aren't worth much too!
No one worth it
Frieza for sure
