Suckers for Punishment

We succumbed to the allure of Big-Head-Lucifer-Anpanman/Maxi-Claw Machine again (the word 'maxi' conjures up thoughts of sanitary pads ... with wings. Redbull!).

After burning $25 worth of attempts with no prize to show, it is safe to conclude that we have been comprehensively DEFEATED by the Maxi Claw Machine. We probably could have convinced the vendors to sell us the damn toy for $25.

Our attempts were again captured on video. The first one is slightly lengthy but worth the viewing just to hear:
  • Shar's weird comment: "maybe you need to grab it at the neck". Hey Shar, Anpanman doesn't have a neck!
  • the school girls screams at the 1.20 minute mark.

  1. Nothing witty to say (no change from usual there). I admit defeat by that 3 fingered monster...

    Damn thing...

  2. Oh dear, remove the 2nd video, it was a lost cause, not even close!

    Several ways we tried, move the other toy so it's not in the way, grab it by the neck, grab it by the body, in between the legs, etc. etc. we spent $25 to know we have to try to grab it by the head! And the maxi claw itself has a random strength on every go, dodgy!!! No wonder some pick ups were flimsy!

    I like the fan girl screams, nothing like 30 year olds acting like silly school girls...heheh embarrassment! :)
