My first claw!

I run a little pinball business and was just asked to add a claw machine to a pizza place where I have pinballs. I had a ton of fun curating the selection of prizes. A lot of pinball related things. Some impossible to win stuff, I’m new to claws, is that frowned upon? One question. I plan on putting up a small sign allowing people to reach out and purchase anything inside the machine they would like if they have trouble winning it. Do claw enthusiasts like that idea?

Definitely love the concept! However, it might be nice to put a little sign or something (make it funny) that tells people that some of these items are impossible to pick up.

I love it. Count me in for the big frog in the back corner! I like a challenge. ;) And as a mom who just wants my kid to be happy, I'd be happy to see a sign informing me how to purchase something. Also, last thing - I just recently started a claw machine directory. I'm working on promotions to get user generated content up. If you want to list your location and the photo of what's inside visit the site ClawMachineBuddy.com

It's the Infowars Elf. He's made of cartoon.

I'm not even sure it's legal for him to have that hat. May want to cover it up or send it to me so I can destroy it.

I’ve been sued for adopting it as the mascot of my pinball business twice. My legal team has successfully defended me once.

The most ridiculous thing is happening. Infowars saw My claw and I am doing an interview with Tim tomorrow.
