About 15 years ago, outside my primary school, the mama shop machines were 20 cents and 50 cents only. The 1 dollar machines could only be found in the market below my block. I remember my favorite toy was the sticky gummy string with a figure on the end. It's crazy that there are $3 machines now, in just 15 years. It shows just how crazy the rising cost in Singapore is.

MAYBE IN 100 year the machines going to be $20

Would be great if the national arts council or some gov organization can collaborate with the 2 distributors and have a small museum I would love to visit.

I remembered my children loved these vendors. I hate it because they only play the toy inside only a few minutes but still want one whenever they see it again.

These vendors should allow us to recycle the capsules. I usually throw them away after getting the toy :/

This is a wonderful idea.

in japan they usually have a box beside the machine that people can dispose the capsules straight away. But not found in SG, most likely someone would just take it.

Tyranny has gone so far that now even something as simple as gacha machines have been taken over by an international organisation.
