    Default new and hooked

    Hi all from another newby....please tell me This won't go the way of the beanie babies. Iv'e got a hundred or so of them, some very expensive at the time 'cause I just HAD to have them, now worthless. I just HAVE to get a few of these machines so here we go again. Looking for a Babel or Rai Rai Goku,a Giga fever, a Fever Queen, and Dragon Dice. Has anyone ever seen a Carol Club 5 or 7? Thats my wifes name so I know I could get away with that one. You guys are a wealth of information, keep up the good work. Gary L.

    Welcome Gary! 8-)

    The Babel and the Rai Rai Goku are very similar machines, both very well done. The Giga Fever is newer and a few people here have one and love it. The Dragon Dice, well it's in my opinion one of the top 5 machines ever produced.

    Go the way of a Beanie baby? Well now can you play with a beanie baby? Does it play back with you? Even if for some reason the bottom fell out of this market and since they change the styles all the time and come up with new and better ideas, you'd still have a great machine to play with.

    These are better and much more fun than American slots, are legal in most states and cost so much less it isn't even funny!

    Got Pachilso? 8-)

    Here's a company that appears to have both a Carol Club 5 and Carol Club 7. They are about half way down the page.

    http://www.americanslotsourceco.com/...d=7664316_3535

    The prices seem high, and I don't know anything about this company. I'd say all your other choices would be better machines and probably cost you less than this vendor is asking for the Carol Clubs.

    Gary, sell yer beanies on ebay in one big lot, then you should get enough for at least some tokens 8-) . Seriously tho, These machines have been around a long time and like Tulsa said, they keep making newer and more interesting models everyday. They are not going anywhere.

    Oh, welcome to our little slice if imported heaven!

    The very best thing to do of course is to have your wife change her name to Spin Luck! 8-)

    beanie babies were around for only a few years.

    slot machines have been around for decades.

    and the japanese ones are more fun to play :lol:

    I know, I can't wait to get the Dragon Dice back home that nite. The Spin Lucks will go beyond what I can afford anyway, but one can dream right?

    I agree. If there really were 20000 or 50000 made instead of the rumored 5000 then they should be very reasonable and soon.

    If you can get a SpinLuck at a price less than 250.00 then you know the floodgates have opened :!:

    I really dont htink there were that many made though. Of all the people on here and of all the ones I ve seen at daca, ive never seen one over 4000, let alone 5000. Who knows?!?! Apparently though, the parlors are buying any of them that are still in stoarage in Japan, and putting them back in rotation. People were throwing fits when they got rid of them I hear!

    Oh I'll get one. It's just a matter of patience and cashflow matching up. I finally got them to match on the Dragon Dice so next will be the Spin Luck maybe.
