Description:

This swap is about one of the most FUN thing about being a child...QUARTER MACHINES!

THE SWAP? It's a simple idea. You will have THREE partners and send them 2 prizes from the quarter machine/toy crank machine/novelty toy machine/whatever you know them as. Any machine where you put change in and receive a toy in return is fine with the exception of gas station bathrooms.

The RULES? Good standing members of Crafting Queens only! I will check profiles before assigning partners. Send the plastic bubble, too, along with the prize! It doesn't matter if they are the large or small bubbles. Sender's choice because you can't help what falls out of the machines.

The FUN? Revisiting a childhood favorite, getting funny looks from other people, the suspense of never knowing just what will fall out...the list goes on and on....

The DOWNSIDE? Not all machines cost just a quarter anymore so we might in fact realize, we have all gotten old. I remember when these machines only cost a quarter and some were only a dime! The other day I saw one that wanted FOUR of my quarters.

Happy Swapping!

Ohhh, I still love these machines. Our local supermarkets always have awesome prizes and sometimes best buy at the entrance. Question at the mall they have 25 cent ones that you can get bouncy balls but they don't come in a capsule. Do they need to be sent in capsules? Also are gachupon (anime type, japan machines) capsules okay as our local comic shop has those as well?

You can send bouncy balls, no problem if they don't have a capsule, but don't send one for both prizes, please. And the machines from comic shops are fine, too! :-)
