This one caught my attention because earlier this year, my kid brother actually was trying to find something like this, but could only track down one from Europe (and had to pay hefty shipping costs). Hey Eric, you should have waited, because now there's one that's being sold in the US.

If you've ever been to an arcade, I'm willing to bet you've wasted at least a few quarters in one of the coin pusher machines. That's one arcade game that's really tough to replicate at home, so this miniature, toy version of one should be enticing to the arcade fanatics out there, unless you want to spend $5,000 to get a real one from eBay. This coin pusher has some neat, brightly colored LED lights that flash. That, and the polyphonic music that cycles transpose the arcade experience to this small gadget. Oh yeah, and there's also an alarm system built in to it, which shuts off the game and sounds a siren whenever someone tampers with it to shake the coins out.

Bottom line, it's just like those incredibly cheap claw machines and is intended for little kids who want to have an arcade experience wherever they are (and for the parents who would be ecstatic if they didn't have to take their kids to the arcade every day).

Buy the coin pusher from our online store. It runs around $30.
