Vending machine game for winning live lobsters
Nick says:
LinkI've linked my some photos I loaded on flickr. On my recent backpacking trip through Asia, I came upon this claw game in Osaka, called sub Marine Catcher. For only 200 yen ($2) you can try your hand at winning a live lobster. I'm not really sure how you get the lobster home but there was a pile of newspaper nearby.

Dick's Last Resort in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter has had one of these for years. If you ever ventured down to Comicon you would know that. It's a popular haunt for artists and fanboys alike.
