    So, how about buying tiny little Gachapon machines from a Gachapon machine?
    Cool . . .

    One of the largest Gachapon arcades in Tokyo.

    Akihabara Gachapon Hall
    秋葉原ガチャポン会館
    http://www.akibagacha.com/

    The word “Gashapon”, also written “Gachapon”, is a combination of two terms, or rather onomatopoeia: “Gasha” (がしゃ) for the sound made by the crank handle when being turned, and “Pon” (ぽん), for the noise of the falling capsule. In Japanese “Gachagacha” (がちゃがちゃ) literally means “Clatter”, while “Pon” would be close to “Plop” in English.

    Looking at this thread all I know is if I ever get to go to Japan I may as well just take all my spending money in loose change.

    One cool thing about going to Japan is that there are also many stores that sell in baggies all the toys from gashapon machines and blind box toys that people trade when they get doubles..
