  the one where u use the pincer like arm to catch stuffed toys.
  
  i notice those with 3 pronged pincers hor, everytime the toy will successfully kenna kiaped but when the thing move up the toy will drop down sia.
  its like the grip of the pincer very loose siah.
  
  cheat people one knn....
  
  so got any tactics?
  
  or can cheat? eg. use clothe hanger wire bend into a long rod, then stick it through the chute n use it to try to push the soft toy into the hole (provided no one sees u) (prefably bring along an accomplice who will be pretending to be playing the machine)

  i think maybe u stand there whole day may not even count 10..
  
  I went to Taiwan, they got this like after eg.30 plays (value of toy), u can have unlimited plays on the machine so u confirm get the toy. there is a counter there..
  
  I won quite a number of plush toys with my friends the last time we went there, so fun..

  last time wu zhong xian jacky de show got one guy demo.
  
  cannot use direct method to giap, coz the toy will always be heavier than wat the giaper can handle. that guy used indirect method, but flipping and making use of other toys.

So me and my group of friends spent nearly 3 hours there tryin to get the toys we planned to get.. Spent less than 20 sing dollars there.. But i got at least 5 big soft toys and a lot of small toys.. Haha.. Managed to squeeze in all the toys and other stuuf tt i bought.. Got a scoldin from my parents when i came back.. But who cares.. I truly enjoy myself there..
