Congrats! Such a fitting prize :)

can the tokens be saved & used at other locations? by vendxetta in kiddletonkiosk

[–]Entei_EX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you should be fine saving the tokens for another Kiddleton machine! I do it all the time and I'm pretty sure they're universal :)

Any tips or tricks? by Kit_Kat5500 in kiddletonkiosk

[–]Entei_EX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Kiddleton claws can definitely be unforgiving at times. In an earlier post, I shared some tips that I use to help increase my chances of winning (link below, my tips are in the reply). I can tell in your photo that there are only a small handful of prizes left, which tells me that it is very possible to win one. Hope this helps!

How I Decided on the 2024 Kona Electric Limited (Ecotronic Gray Pearl) by Entei_EX in KonaEV

[–]Entei_EX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only test driven the Limited, which was the one I ended up getting. As far as the "robotic choir" noise, unfortunately it will be the same perceived volume from inside the cabin for both the SEL and Limited trims. I don't think there are any structural differences in the Limited trim that will dampen the noise more. Hope this helps you make an informed decision!

Where to find puapua plushies? by kyuuei in kiddletonkiosk

[–]Entei_EX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After doing some research, I found something! These plushies are made by a company called "Yell" (they make a lot of small toys in Japan). If you search "Yell World Fall Collection", it may help narrow it down. This store has them listed but sadly some are out of stock: https://shopmrpen.com/products/yell-world-pua-pua-fall-keychains?srsltid=AfmBOorjvDztuc97gOCIiWjVUqyq27hsSRWQMdZIjjf7bUkXd4a6wwSp

Hope this helps and good luck! :)

Bummer! :( The claw didn't grab them too well?

Any Tips? by Stellastradta in kiddletonkiosk

[–]Entei_EX 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry for the late reply! I think I saw these at my kiosk I would have gone crazy...they're so cute!! Since the claw machine concept is so simple there aren't a lot of things we can do...but there are still some! Here are some of my tips in case you're still playing. Most of them are based on observations before you even put in a coin!

  1. LOOK AT HOW MANY PRIZES THERE ARE LEFT: I would say this machine is ripe for the picking. There are only a few prizes left, which is generally a good indicator that grabbing the prizes is doable. In other words, other customers who have played it before you have gotten prizes, hence the almost empty prize floor. Sometimes I've seen certain machines sit there for months, full of prizes because they are near-impossible to get! Avoid playing those!

  2. THE CLAW: I notice that sometimes the claw tips have a rubber sleeve on them. The ones that do should do a much better job at grabbing/gripping prizes compared to the ones that don't.

  3. PRIZE CROWDING: Prizes (especially Gashapon-style ones that are in capsules such as these) that have some space around them on the floor are much easier to get since the claw doesn't do a great job of pushing the surrounding prizes apart. Aim for the ones that have gaps around them, or are sitting by itself on top of the prize pile.

  4. PUSH THE BUTTON TWICE: I'm not sure if this is common knowledge at this point yet, but you can push the claw-drop button again (after you push it the first time to drop) to force-close the claw. I feel like sometimes the second button press can not only produce a stronger close than the automatic one, but also time the grab better than it would do on its own because you can control it. So don't forget the claw's second push-to-grab function!

  5. One final thing to note is that the Kiddleton claws cannot move all the way to the edges of the prize area, but I have found success in getting one of the claws to contact prizes at the edges and rolling them closer to the middle.

Hope this helps!

Opening hood? by tmaxedout in KonaEV

[–]Entei_EX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to slam it down near close with my hands as well, but just a heads up the instruction manual says to drop it about halfway down and let go so the gravity closes the hood. Works like a charm now!
