Yea, I'd buy these instead of driving a few hundred miles.

I really want the Trunks and Goku figures!

Edit: Check amazon japan they have some glorious figures!

Those figures look WAY too nice to be part of a doll machine/crane game!

Thanks, Rocketman!
Yeah...Texas is the 2nd largest (first on the mainland), second only to Alaska.
Right, confusing my state and city.

Ah, H-town, eh? It appears we're in the same boat, then.

I'm about to head over to my local Walmart, so I'll see if they have them in yet. If they do, I'll try to win one and snap a few pictures.

Try 800, buddy. Yet, I'm forced to go, every year.

Well, I went to Walmart, and the did indeed have the crane machine.

But I'll tell you what, that game is nearly freakin' impossible to win. Sure, there are holes in the boxes so you don't have to worry about wrapping the claw all the way around, but the holes aren't very big. Basically, you can't use skill to get these, it's all luck. I only tried twice, and I realized that it was nothing but a wild goose chase. I got mad and left, forgetting to take pictures, too.

So basically, try it if you want, but don't be suprised if you don't win anything.

Anyone know what line of Banpresto figures these are? I've been trying to look through dragonballztoys.com but they mostly aren't updated. Any help would be appreciate so I know I can get my hands on them if I don't win them at Harry Potter this afternoon.

Is Oldphan still around? Was hoping he'd hop on this pretty quickly and give us some details.

Closest one to me is about 15 miles away. The weird thing is, it's in a pizza shop; not a Wal-Mart, not a movie theater...a pizza shop. What happened there?

Ah well, at least there's one remotely close to me. I feel really bad for all of you that couldn't get to one of these machines if you tried. Hopefully, they will add more machines as time goes on.

There is no hope for me, The nearest one to me is in central Fl which is 3-4 hours from my house.

I lost a good number of singles and had a lot of close calls, but I came out with one of the lot. A nice Cell.

Sorry, taken with my phone.

@Haseowolf: Cool!

Well, the one nearest me is 115 miles away... No thanks.

God, I wish I had these. Seems like they've been around for a while.

I still want 'em!!

To show how fucking bored I am, and that I have close to no time on my hands, I went to Google Maps, got a directional map from my house to the nearest Theater, just to prove how close I am. Here it is:

That's 34.2 miles, 41 minutes, according to Google.

Well, the theater didn't have the DBZ crane game but they did have a Naruto one.

I've never had good stuff around where I live...

...until now!

5 miles away!

Wow, there are 4 machines within 25 miles of my house. And I live in Tiny-Hick-Town, Kentucky. I'll have to try my luck on my next trip to Wal-Mart.

Awesome, there are machines in my local mall and movie theater! I'll give it a shot sometime.

Geez, the "closest" machine to me is 30 miles away, across the state line and past Philadelphia. Bummer.

There's one at my movie theatre, which is like... walking distance. Problem is, no matter how cool these are, you still have to win them, which is very hard.

It's the same for me... Almost exactly. I have 5 within a 25 mile radius. I honestly can't believe that there's a market for this ANYWHERE near me.

What Tiny-Hick-Town are you in? If you don't mind me asking, that is.

How much does it cost to play this game? I might actually give it a try next time I'm at one of the 5 local Wal-Marts.

What brand name do these figures go under? These are available in Japan aren't they?
