Need to know how to swing so when it got picked up, it all dropped but with the correct momentum, it may drop near of into the chute.

I used to get addicted to it last time when I caught quite a number of them but then lately no more liao.

The labubu quite difficult to catch cause it's boxy not easy to grab unless you're lucky at the correct angle.

Only catch those that are stacked on top of another box. When it dropped it may toppled into the chute. Caught two using this method.

Online is no diff from gambling. I’d suggest stay away. At least physical machine can see and feel the claw.
Depends, in japan, yes

In SG like places such as CPCM, not really.. the labubu craze period, i visited more than 5 of their outlets, all except their main outlet, using the claw that spins randomly when it goes down, meaning almost impossible to strategize or win via skills unless payout is reached. Only their suntec outlet, still using the fixed 3 prong claw, which somewhat allows the player to push the item strategically into the chute without needing payout, just a small example but sg arcades are quite predatory

And yes i agree online claw machine is basically gambling, altho the reason why i use taito online is because at least their machine playstyle is quite authentic to jp one (altho weaker claw strength), plus they have the latest prize figures, some will be clawed until OOS within a few hours

My Labubu are all from suntec. All won within the 7 try. Some got it in the 2nd or 3rd try.

Lol 7 tries means its the have a seat labubu, its possible to win in 1-2 tries but definitely wont be consistently winning. If u wan to say pure luck, then i even manage to claw 2 of the lbb in one try before (due to the random payout claw grip), but i cast doubt on winning every single time in <7 tries aka less than $10.. if u can do that consistently, u would have uncovered infinite money making method aldy during the lbb craze period, seeing as each lbb can sell for $30 or more

Source: myself who also managed to claw 10+ lbb and sold on carousell. Also managed to know a few ppl at suntec CPCM who consistently farm the halloween lbb etc, and even they could not do what u have described. Those CPCM machines also depend heavily on luck, but at least they had some form of skills factor which managed to make it less of a blind money grab waiting for the machine to give u payout like the other outlets

I only go for those that they stack up and use the trick of either topple it into the chute or really lucky to grab it. Once I did what the Japanese always do, press one corner of the box and let it turn and drop.

The toy dropped into the chute but never trigger the system to open the shuttle door. Ended up got to call the staff to help unlock the shuttle door.

Saw the guy before me using the swing method but he overlooked the wall of the chute is high. So swinging won’t work.
As the claw got a bit of strength so I just use the normal grip and drop slowly to the chute so that the toy can rest on the wall then ends off with topple it down.
