Newer hanemono machines?

[lotsoballs]

Hey everyone, I was just curious what other newer (2010+) model hanemono wing type machines are available? It seems like 99% of the machines imported to the US have the huge LCD screen? What's up with that? I prefer the the machines with the cool center features. The only hanemono I could find is the "Hoo Mini Assistant" on akimono.com (very interesting machine!) and "Sea Story" Does anybody have experience with any of the newer hanemonos? If so, please list and rate on a scale of 1-10!

Not overly familiar with newer hanemono machines. However I do believe Angry Gary (member) has a Tako Yaki machine he is selling that you may like. It has the animated center feature you refer to. You may want to PM him about the machne.

I have the one you speak of... It's one of my favorite machines. Bought it as a cell for my Heiwa Lupinas frame. It's actually a kenrimono style, not a hanemono.

There are modern hanemono's as well. Like the latest Sanyo Flying Carpet contraption or the "Tokio Deluxe" from Amtec.

Anyway... about Hoo-kun... I like it because you can sit down and just play it for 10 minutes and get some actual action in. Jackpot and the subsequent chance rounds don't go on forever.

Rating?? Hmmm.... 7 or 8? Worth $400 + shipping? hmm... maybe. You can get a couple interesting cells for that frame too...

Interesting, I just saw the moving arms/wings and assumed it was Hanemono...those Kerimono type seem pretty cool! If only they were more popular to import here... $400 is a bit pricey, but it is unique for sure! That Tokio Deluxe machine is also pretty sweet!

Just curious, what style machine would the King of Dumplings machines fall under? This one has the odd center feature and old school tulip type pockets that open and close I like the weird ones like that...

It reminds me of an ippatsudai machine, where if you hit a jackpot it starts opening the pockets (I'm not sure if it's a pattern or random ) I forget the exact technical description
candyflip had a site devoted to hanemonos, Kenrimonos , appatsudai , and any other unusual machines
but it got hacked and he lost the site
rumor has it, he's rebuilding as we speak )

Here's a pic of two more

Also, I have a King of Dumplings and really like it a lot

I found a few more recent Hanemono machines digging around on here, has anyone played any of these?

I found this article about a "pachi puro" (pachinko professional) and figured I would share; apparently hanemono is the only way to go if you want to make a living playing pachinko!

I contacted the only active US importer to my knowledge (akimono) and they assured me that they were looking for the Tokio Deluxe Hanemono from 2012 for their previous shipment, but were unable to obtain one .....but they will continue the hunt for future shipments!

Looks like that's still a hot item in Japan... On Rakuten they are running $900 or so http://item.rakuten.co.jp/auc-nakait...c2id=247567789

Yeah....I saw one on the Yahoo.jp auction site going for 90,000 yen a couple weeks ago as well, too rich for me! Oh well, the prices have got to come down eventually! That's the beauty of planned obsolescence! I would think most of these would be phased out for newer models before too long.

Does anyone have any experience playing CRうちのポチ (Pochis Dog House) or seen one for sale recently on yahoo Japan auctions or rakuten perhaps? (I just want the cell, I've got a Lumina frame already). Looks to be a a really cool dog themed hanemono with magnetic drum! Perfect dog lover's machine!

Not seen many lumina cels for a while. When I see them, I normally post them in the YJA section.
