Hello everyone! We just started this blog and we will be adding lots of cool stuff soon. We're still settling the designs and links so everything will be working well once we start posting!

Just to kick things off, we want to introduce places in Singapore where you can find fair UFO catcher machines to catch original items ( You know those Rilakkumas, Disney stuff, Sanrio merchandises).

We will update this as we gather more information when we go around hunting in Singapore :)

1. Superbowl 
Yes Superbowls has fair and playable UFO catchers. Most of their machines feature a 2 legged mechanism and you press 2 buttons to navigate the catcher. It's exactly what is used in Japan! Very fair in our opinion. Look out for their UFO catcher 7 or something. Most of them are SEGA machines.

Superbowl outlets with SEGA UFO catchers:
A. Jurong Safra's Superbowl
B. Marina Square Superbowl (The arcade area opposite the bowling area)
C. Mt Faber Safra Superbowl
*Note that Toa Payoh's Safra Superbowl has no UFO catcher machines.

2. Marina Square Prize Stage
We would recommend putting your coins into the 2 facing the corridor; as highlighted in the image. They usually place Rilakkuma stuff toys and recently they have Ted the bear too! You can try the UFO catcher machine with LINE figures inside. The pictures below shows the best and fairest machines at Prize Stage! The prizes there are really attractive and quite up to date. They are all original too! The staff there can only help to put the toys back to original position if you were to ask them for help.

 3. AMK Hub Zone X
From our painful experience, we only found that 1 machine is borderline fair. It's the UFO catcher 7 machine. They sometimes shift the machines around and they don't allow photo taking so I'll post as soon as I can sneak snap a photo of it heh.

The annoying part is that the toys are not the best ones you can expect and the shop crew often place the toy far away from the chute. But hey the toys are original from Disney / SEGA. It usually takes more than 3 tries to get one toy on lucky days. The moment you notice no progress (in some cases, the toy can be so front that the claw cannot reach), it's best to walk away and come back another day because the shop crew won't bother to help re-position the toy.


Next post: We'll talk about some basics of UFO catching. Stay tuned!
