Hoping this is /cgl/ related because it's a Japanese crane game app where you can get anime & game merch, plushies, and Japanese household items.

Any other players or former Toreba addicts?

I spent $25 trying to get a huge tsum tsum cushion even when I knew it wasn't likely.

After that I just stuck to the little things in the plastic boxes you could just knock off the bars.

So far I've spent over $100 and only got seven prizes for it. I put in a shipping order when I realized I'd dropped $45 in three days (got four prizes though) and I'm just going to cancel my account when they arrive.

Ugh why did you show this to me. It is so difficult.

[Anonymous No.9582887]

If anyone is new to Toreba, DON'T PLAY IT YET! You get 5 free tries and it's best to look at some guides first.

The Crane Couple made some and I watched their Toreba videos for a few hours until I got the good pointers down. Also helps if you wait until the prizes are close. If there's a popular machine (queue goes up to 5 people) hop in the queue and usually you can win because someone gives up.

Sorry, I think my post made more sense in my head. It's just not nearly as fun as playing a crane game in real life. You don't get the immediate satisfaction of getting your prize once you win a game. There's no one cheering you. It's just an app. To each their own, but it's a meh concept to me.

For those of us that don't have arcades or even pop-up crane games (like in malls/shops) it's the best we can get. And there are people cheering you on because when you play it shows how many viewers worldwide are watching you. A lot of people compete to get into the 5 person queue on popular machines just to get the views because some machines can have nearly 100 people watching.

i'm trying so hard not to get to this point. i used five free tries on my phone and tablet, did the credit card campaign, and finally wasted $5 and still couldn't get this fucking pekorin plush.

i've never found myself wasting money on an app so quick but i don't feel too bad since you actually get a tangible prize shipped for free. $5 isn't a big deal but it can lead to a lot more very easily so i think i'll budget myself to $5 max every paycheck just to give myself some discipline. $30 over the span of three months is fine but $30 in one night will drive me into a pit of self loathing.

Yeah I think it's important to set limits on this game from the start - I'm gonna let myself put in $10 a week and if it accumulates, that's fine and if I end up using it, that's it for that week.

In my case I'm not particularly interested in most of the prizes, but it's nice to get stuff for friends. I just like the exercise of playing and (hopefully) winning.

The games are "rigged" in the sense that they are all winnable, but you can't expect to do anything in one try. This is Japanese crane game 101. Westerners can buthurt that the weak ass claw can't pick stuff up when what you're supposed to do is use it to push and pull the prize to the drop. Always expect at least 3-5 tries even if you're good. Still cheaper than retail usually.

[Anonymous No.9584939]

[Anonymous No.9585379]

>>9584715
I played one game for like 40 minutes straight and the claw didn't grab once. I'm almost pro at claw games IRL, and Toreba is like any other arcade- some machines are rigged WAY harder than others. The claws are usually set to only actually grasp every X number of plays, so you have to be on a grasping play, as well as be lined up properly. Different machines have different numbers of plays between grasps, and some machines are just 100% weak ass claw, so its next to impossible to pick anything up. Its fine if its a through-the-bars type machine because you can still place the claw to push the items when it drops, but if its one where you have to actually pick the item up and drop it in the chute, your best bet is to watch for a little first to see how the claw is reacting. If you see 7 or 8 tries and it still hasn't actually grabbed, either step in and try 3 or 4 plays, or just give up.

I won two items today but not after subjecting my wallet to a horrible assault. I'm afraid to look at the damages although I know I still have money in there but I will be so ashamed at how much money I spent since I probably could have just bought similar items elsewhere. I'm decent at American crane games but I've learned the Japanese ones really are a whole new world - still though, I did have fun! I think when my wallet has recovered I will try again, there's a lot of good shit and I understand how to operate the machines better after winning.

Seriously. The worst is when you spend all your TP and run out, but you can see that you're really close to getting the prize. I spent way more money than intended on the pompompurin plush just because I could see that I was manipulating the machine correctly and I actually had a very fairy shot of winning, and I could see players lining up in the queue to try and take advantage of the moves I had made. I didn't want the money I spent to go to waste so I...spent more money, of course!

I spent way too much on the Munchkin pouch but I timed out and almost had it before some jerkwad next in queue tossed it back against the display zone. I was raging too hard to care how many pts I was burning through by then.

Tip from me though, definitely browse every single machine if you're not picky on prizes. A lot of machines will get 'abandoned' in favor of the new ones so you can get some really good items. That's how I got the Daramofu-san. Someone left it halfway off the platform so I just scooped it up.

Also queue hop! If there's a machine you like just hop in the queue and wait. If it's your turn and it's not looking good just hop out of queue and then get back in.

Third tip, go for the prizes in the clear boxes! Those are hard to pick up but they're super easy to push along the bars so if you angle to the right of the box you can usually hook it with the left claw and send it skidding either sideways to drop through the bar gap or send it right off the bars.

If you want to win something specific and don't know how, go through the prize history. You can see the winning replays of every item won.

This time around I was really deadset on trying to get the pompompurin prizes but next time I'll def try that - I did browse and pass over some prizes I wasn't interested in but could see there were some prizes left in good positions. The only thing that sucks is when a person comes by and knocks it out of place lol. It's also really sad watching the people who don't understand how the game works and they waste a good turn on trying to go after the display prizes.

Also wow thanks for that replay link! I didn't realize you could view other people's replays. I was watching some tutorials on youtube earlier and those helped me figure out how some of the machines worked, like the ones with bars - that's how I was able to win the pompompurin pouch and also helped me realize just how much you need to use the machine to just knock items around into place/use specific areas of the machine to do so. This game is actually quite fun once you realize how much strategizing there is to be done.

I've been watching enough of these plays that there are a bunch of techniques I want to try out but I don't want to deal with actually owning the item (when it's not a utility item). Don't want that 1000TP refund either, and I know that selling is a potential avenue but it's also extra stuff I'd rather not deal with.

So for those of you with a bunch of large plushies or whatever - what benefit do those bring to your life? What's the point of having them? Do you experience joy from owning those things after the glow of winning fades?

Do you use these as gifts for friends? Sell them?

Thanks for your concern, though hanging out in the itabag thread has taught me how to get good deals. I found it for cheap on Surugaya too, so I can add it to my next haul, get free domestic shipping and only pay 300 yen + international shipping. Or, since my brother is going to Japan very soon, I can ask him to keep an eye open in case he finds it.

I also have terrible, terrible luck with this kind of games so I know I'd most likely spend ludicrous amounts trying to get it. I'll check on the feed regularly though, if I see it in a good position I might try my luck with my free plays !

So I was trying to get a figure and I dunno what happened, maybe I knocked it into a position that was impossible to win from, because all of a sudden while taking a moment to pause and think about how to move the crane, the game went into maintenance. Then like 1-2 minutes later the prize had been moved back starting position. It was still on my turn, I hadn't hit "start" yet and it's not like I lost my place and someone else won it. Is this a thing that happens and am I just screwed out of the TP?

[Anonymous No.9586721]

>>9586717
Should clarify that I had just purchased more TP and when you do that it gives you like 200 more seconds, I def had plenty of time left before my turn was supposed to expire.

[Anonymous No.9586735]

>>9586688
Considering they preorder window closed on English sites and Toreba is the only place to play to get them, this is the good deal range for these, especially those listings offering both versions.

[Anonymous No.9586736]

>>9586717
>>9586721
You probably knocked it into position that was unfavorable to you. If you want I think you can submit a ticket of that last play showing it went to the maintenance screen and get a refund on that play?

[Anonymous No.9586770]

>>9586735
Damn, that's cheap ! I definitely thought it would sell for higher than that, what with the character's popularity

Submitted prizes to be shipped on 08-01 and they just got shipped out last night. They seem to be pretty good at having your stuff out in roughly a week. Will take pics/review when they get here!

>>9585443
Toreba has put legitimate sex toys in their machines before. (see: >>9588018) Don't be too surprised.

Your best bet is to watch for a day or so to see the strength of the cranes and which style you prefer (ping pong, ball, d-ring, etc). They're all different and have their own strategies, it's just a matter of learning them. And like another anon said above, it's gonna take more than one try about 90% of the time.

Also, cranes usually get stronger the longer its prize has been out. Staff sometimes change the style of crane after a prize has been out for a couple days.

Sorry for the walls of text; I was really excited to see a Toreba thread, since I play all the time. Here's a recent play of mine I'm really proud of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQaY-z8kXzw

I saw this on the Toreba reddit, nice play! I've had bad experiences with the bouncy ball machines so I tend to avoid them now.

[Anonymous No.9589746]

https://en.play.sp2d.toreba.net/

There's a new Toreba game that's giving away 50 free plays. It looks a little odd but I'm going to try it.

[Anonymous No.9589750]

>>9589735
Yeah, I posted it there! I love the community there and on their discord server, mostly because it feels like a gambling addiction anonymous group and I don't know when to quit. They're enablers, all of them.

When the big Woolys came out, I got the first two ones with $30 while a bunch of people in the Toreba reddit discord group were watching. It's so satisfying to go from intense gameplay straight to a bunch of strangers who were watching over a live camera feed cheering for you. You can get addicted to that shit so fast.

Those ball machines are all luck. I try not to play them now.

[Anonymous No.9589765]

>>9589750
That sounds both amazing and yet so enabling. Thankfully I'm a broke college student so when I ran out of spare change I could quit playing. At least, until this Toreba 2D offered 50 free plays. So far I'm liking it because it's so cutesy looking and lag-free. That was my main issue with regular Toreba.

[Anonymous No.9589780]

Okay, Toreba 2D? Sucks.

You log in and you get 5 free play tickets to use in the machine but past that you get 50 free "blue tickets" which only give you the first play free. You absolutely cannot get a prize in one play using this game.

You need to pick up a prize from the far right side and carry it across the playing field to the left. The UFO doesn't hold on and you won't make it very far. I've only used 10 tickets and I don't think I'll use the rest only because there's no point. The machines also reset every time you leave so there's no point to going back and trying to win.

The idea is cute, I love the app layout and everything but you have a better chance of getting a prize via Toreba than Toreba 2D unless you're going for one of the shitty small pts rocks.

[Anonymous No.9589850]

I used one of my free plays fucking up a prize so bad I essentially destroyed the efforts of the last five players before me. An hour later I did it again.

[Anonymous No.9589986]

Do you like it because of the game aspect?
Because you can buy it on mandarake

[Anonymous No.9590005]

>>9589986
It's just the fun of winning your own merch. Yeah, you can buy it but that's not as special.

[Anonymous No.9590178]

So in 2d they gave you 50 free tickets, but you can use only one before resetting a game?
Sounds kinda wrong

[Anonymous No.9591878]

So I won a prize last week that didn't get added to my cart. I contacted them to prove I did win it, I still haven't heard back from them.

Does it take a while for them to respond? Reading their Facebook page, seems like others have a hard time getting them to respond. The prize is now sold out and was removed. I'm worried I wasted money for a prize I won't get.

[Anonymous No.9591955]

There should have been a 'dispute prize won' button in your replays that you could hit.

That's what I did

[Anonymous No.9591989]

That's weird. I've had to dispute the prize twice, and they always get back to me in less than 10 minutes. I would do it again and in the notes mention that you've tried to contact them previously and had no response.

This might be a dumb question, but I just wanna make sure - you've added an email to your account, right?

I just shipped a package with prizes last night after wasting $20 trying to get just one more. As soon as I did that I deleted the app. I think I wanna play again in the future so I won't delete my account but I know if I keep the app there, even if I'm just looking I will be way too tempted to blow more money on prizes. Damn it Toreba, I wish I knew how to quit you.

[Anonymous No.9594988]

perhaps this is a silly question but I'm just wondering, the prizes that you get mailed to you - is it the actual prize from the machine that you grabbed that you receive, or do they just keep one prize in the machine and we just get like some stuff from the stock room

[Anonymous No.9595043]

>>9594988
They use the same display prize to be caught each time and just retrieve a stock one to be shipped.

[Anonymous No.9597374]

I hate it when a game goes into maintenance all of the sudden. Was getting a prize near the edge and then suddenly the game went into maintenance. Just bought TP to continue playing. The timer ran out and I lost my spot, was waiting to get back in but someone beat me and won the prize. 2nd time this has happened.

[Anonymous No.9600629]

Is that really a cassette player as a prize or am I missing something?

[Anonymous No.9600948]

>>9597374
You might only get the TP for that play back but go back into your play history and copy the video link and use the contact form to send in a complaint. If the maintenance screen went on during your play you should be able to get some TP back.

At least I've won a couple things, including the yellow sushi cat here >>9602191 But those were all on my first night and i've had a dry spell since. ugh.

Did the "play this dumb game to level 10" and legit got 28k free TP, tried to get a towel and a plushie, then used the last points on this fig and got it on my last try and got so hyped (used about 8 tries I guess?)

Don't fucking waste money on this retarded shit.

It's obviously stacked and you can get better prices or even half the price on the internet. The thrill of the game is what drives people to play and winning isn't even worth it. Not to mention the price per play is inflated as fuck.
