Paka Paka! - Munchies!

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Is there anything special about the Paka Paka machines? Saw some pictures but not a video of it in use.

Just the fact that it's electronic I guess. Nothing too special but still awesome! I don't see many toy electronic vending machines. Then again I don't look for them either lol

They were supposed to receive them at the same time as the Funko Verse new releases (according to the manager at my GameStop), but something delayed them. He guesstimated instead of mid September, it would be out around the end of October.

I really hope my local GameStop gets one of these but I very much doubt it because they never get anything unless I pre order that certain item. Too bad I can’t pre order one of these machines lol.

My guess is around the price of a Mystery Mini, so $5.

Went to HQ yesterday and they had a machine there and YES the tokens were $5. Good guess!!

I would also love to know which Gamestop's will be getting the machine. I talked to my local GS manager and sadly he said their store would probably not be getting one in (store is rather small). He did say at the GS convention in Nashville 2 months ago they got a glimpse and heard they should be hitting stores sometime in the fall...insinuated anytime now.

Any store should technically be able to look up which locations in their district have the shipment on the way. My district only has one store that will be getting them (and thankfully it’s my closest store).

Thanks, I'll have to stop in and ask my local store to look it up. That's awesome that the closest store to you will be getting it in. There's several stores within a 30 mile radius so here's hoping to one will end up getting it :)

The GS closest to me probably won’t get these because it’s a small cramped store in the mall. Hopefully they get one at the store on the other side of town.

I have like 4 Gamestops within a 30 mile radius. None have one yet but I’m guessing the largest size one can handle putting these in their store.
