I caught a Pikachu!

[Quindiana Jones]

I got a Pikachu phone charm today. :love: It's cool. I got it from one of those machine thingies....y'know...you put a quid in, twist the twisty thing, and the prize comes out?

Yeah, well, I got a Pikachu! I was hoping to get one, and it worked! Yey!

Two things:

1) What are those "machine thingies....y'know...you put a quid in, twist the twisty thing, and the prize comes out?" actually called?

2) What's the coolest thing you've ever gotten from one?

[MKusanagi]

1. Dispenser Machine.
2. Ab-so-lut-ely nada. But I... haha yeah I got something cool that you'll laugh at. I got a pikachu bouncy ball one time!

[Psychotic]

A quid?! 'twas 20p in my day.

A puzzle ball.

[Sergeant Hartman]

Scam.

[Bunny]

I once bought 20 bouncing balls in one day.

I then proceded to bounce them everywhere. It was awesome.

[Sergeant Hartman]

I used to wrap paper around pennies to make a twenty pence piece, it worked once and two powerballs came out.

[Araciel]

used to be 25 cents when i was a lad.

2) What's the coolest thing you've ever gotten from one?
A rash.

[JKTrix]

1.)Gachapon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gachapon)
2.) A condom.

[Tallulah]

Dunno what they're called, but we have one at the cinema foyer, and another in the mall.

I remember one time I got a plastic watch type thing with silver balls in it. It wasn't a working watch, but a little mini puzzle maze thing. It was ages ago, so I'm surprised I remember it. I think it was actually 10p. One of the old chunky ones.

Maan, I'm oooooold... :eep:

[ReloadPsi]

2) Fake vomit.

[Jess]

I always give into those things whenever I go bowling. The ones with the sweeties inside them! I'll end up paying 20p for like 6 minstrels. xD

...but they look so good in those machines. :(

[Peegee]

I saw a pokemon yesterday when I was catching pokemon. I wanted to weaken it (it was a lvl3 to my level 10 pidgie) but I killed it by mistake! D:

I was sad so I kept farming crap there until I finally saw it again! (took me like 15 of the longest minutes ever) Yay I now have

A pikachu!

*spins around and poses*

[mooglebunni608]

We call them 'Crap for a quarter' here. And I love them. I've never gotten anything actually amazing from them, but I do like the candy ones and the ones that have jewelry <3

[Rye]

I WANT A PIKACHU PHONE CHARM.

I like getting the sticky hands from them.

[Resha]

I used to be obsessed about collecting the little rubber balls they had :shifty: colourful and shiny and prettyyy

But the best thing I guess would be gum. I love gum

[Miriel]

Gnome Pooh!!

He's my baby and I love him and he goes everywhere with me and shares in all our Adventures.

[KoShiatar]

I got, like, Banana Chip and Acorn Dale, or was it the other way around?
Anyway, yay for bouncing balls! My faves are the clear ones with glitter in it. *_*

[Old Manus]

What the hell is a phone charm?

[Quindiana Jones]

Look at Miriel's pictures, dumbass.

On the subject of Miriel's pics, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Old Manus]

Looks like I've spent the last 18 years missing out on the unquestionable awesomeness of phone charms. brb, suicide

[o_O]

There is one of those machines in an arcade down the road from me that has a PSP, a car alarm system and several mobile phones in it.

I suspect it's a clever scam where you only get the boxes if you win, because they're clearly empty.

Gnome Pooh is so small!

[41-Inches-Wide]

I'm very unlucky in Gachapon. The machine eats my tokens ;__; I never get anything.

[Zeldy]

[Quindiana Jones]

A quid. One British pound.

[Jojee]

Geez, that's some expensive Pikachu.

I wouldn't pay more than a quarter! ..Well, okay 50 cents. xD

[Miriel]

I paid a dollar for my Pooh and he was worth it!

[NeoTifa]

ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... see, not everybody knows what that is. i call them quarter machines. and the coolest thing...... a giga pet. oooo remember those?!

[Jojee]

Tamagotchies!

Although I never got those out of quarter machines o_o They were expensive. The functional ones, anyway.

[edczxcvbnm]

Pichu is cuter :D

[Quindiana Jones]

Shut it, doofus. You know nothing of pokemon. :mad2:
