Re: Paka Paka Machine Locations
I keep looking for them but none are to be found except at Funko Hollywood.
They call me Kelly
OOB deals I love to find.
Disney is my first love whether it be pops, Dorbz , minis or dolls.
Pops and Dorbz -2000+~~~ I have lost count actually
Minis-450+
Protos-2 Dug with cone from my first fundays in 2016
And
Baby Groot with bomb from 2018

You can skip the animated scenes.

Yeah scenes can be skipped. Only tedious part is when the machine runs out of balls then a supervisor has to bring out a huge bag of them and you just stare at them in awe

How big is the bag of balls (no pun intended) . Just holding one in your hand is huge, I can't imagine the bad (again, no pun intended)

But the machine is so cool to see and hear. Just like hearing the sound of those 25 cent gumball machines when you turn the dial.

Probably works like a soda machine. One stacked on top of the other.

Re: Paka Paka Machine Locations
No machine anywhere near me.
When I search the GS site to find a store that actually has them showing for store pick up, the closest would be a Think Geek store in Buford, GA
100 miles away from me

It's not the same experience as getting them from the machine, but you can pre-order the Boo Hollow at GameStop. Still a blind purchase but not exactly the same as getting it from the machine

You can preorder them???? So will stores without a machine just get random balls in? I'm intrigued!

Manager at my local Gamestop was going nuts over these! Seems like there is a big hype for them!

If anyone's in the New York area, there are two machines at the Game Stop/Think Geek at Herald Square! Must go and see!

YES! I ordered 3 of the Munchies from GameStop's site and received 3 random balls in the mail. Ended up with the grey cat, brown bear, and orange tiger.
I can only assume these come from what would be the replacement stock for machines. Without machines...random shipments.

Yep, the original 3 lines are up for purchase and the 3 new lines are up for pre-order.
Again it is not as fun as getting them from the machine, but at least I can actually get them.

If I remember correctly, they hold one box of each line (3 sets). Not sure how many balls that adds up to though.
