A few hundred-yen coins later Rilakkuma is mine!
First time winning at a UFO Catcher (Claw/crane machine)

All credit goes to my wife for two spectacular plays.

Have you won anything in the arcades before?

    That looks quite big an impressive catch indeed. I usually avoid such machines as I know the odds are not in my favour. I have seen too many of those machines cheat (stupidly weak grip) but if you can find a fair one that's just about pure skill I'd love to play it :)

    That's pretty awesome! I have won a plushie from a claw machine before, but it was in the U.S. and I feel it's much harder in Japan. Actually, if I remember correctly, when I went to Japan this was the exact character that we tried to get the only time we tried out the claw machines. We just tried for the heck of it... That's impressive that you guys actually managed to get it!
