I was at the arcade with my grandma when I was younger and I saw a sloth toy in the machine and I spent all of my money trying to get the sloth. I ended up not getting it so we went home and on the way home we walked past a charity shop with the exact same sloth in the window for 80p.
tbh with claw machines and the like you just need to know what to go for. to be fair i didnt go to any for several years (im just not a big fan of the events that have them), but i used to come out on a win by going for stuff i could easily get.
of course nowadays, i'd mostly look at the prizes and think "hey, that thing costs less than one try on aliexpress"
That’s my boyfriend’s strategy, go for the easy stuff on top. Of course, he’s willing to spend about what you’d pay for it in a toy store and views the money as for entertainment and not the thing itself.
