[@kakarot197]

Next time, Kakarot spends $100 on Gundam Doujin. PS: Protip for if you want to try an expensive mystery gacha: The 3,000 Yen gacha I tried had timestamped Polaroid pictures of previous winners and I saw this in some other stores too. With these machines you at least have a fair shot at winning the high ticket items.

[@Apharmed]

Insert [gacha is life, gacha is heck] meme here

[@victoriazero8869]

If a Gachapon is more than 1000 yen it is generally a scam, because the junk items worth far less than this.

[@nachinachi5085]

Bet a $100 it wouldn't be NSFW, right?

[@TacComControl]

100$ on Gundam thin books? That's... who wants to place bets on whether he's gonna find himself with a handful of Bright(uke)xAmuro... or CharxAmuro. Or BrightxKamille. Or BrightxChar. Or BrightxHathaway.

[@nachinachi5085]

@@TacComControl They have BrightxHathaway? Where in the Alabama territory they have went off to?

[@rnpo]

Better than online game gatcha. At least u get something physical 🤣

[@kidrobot.]

wrong

[@victoriazero8869]

It's also harder to scrap your failures, unlike deleting unneeded dupe characters, you feel it was such a waste to dump junk gacha IRL. So you might just sell them by the pennies instead.

[@wedhaprabowo7008]

Better than online gacha

[@r1l426]

Gundam Battle Operation 2 be like

[@bunnyfreakz]

Duplicate and loss in IRL feels more stingy.

[@albertko1]

I think as someone who hates gambling but does not mind spending extra... I'd probably just go to those gatcha resellers and buy the one I wanted.

[@Scaevola9449]

This, it'S really not worth it when you can just go and buy from a reseller.

[@victoriazero8869]

Physical gacha is less addictive than the digital ones because you can't easily scrap your loss...

[@christianlei4478]

you also have physical money that you run out of vs digital money that you can just keep spending

[@ikyiAlter]

@@christianlei4478 that's not true, your credit card or bank account can go empty too. Just usually take a bit longer 🤣

[@twelfthknight]

I've never used a real gachapon before. My first thought would be to just pick one where anything you got would be something that you'd be fine with and go for it, but I didn't know about the accessory sets and whatnot. It seems I've underestimated their fiendishness.

[@victoriazero8869]

I'm not aware of accessory pack either. Which is hilarious because when it comes to gunpla, the accessory pack were the most rare and overpriced ones (Until GBF exist, at least)

[@xnflg3074]

I found a small shipment of Gundam Ensemble gachas at a Target near my house. Bought one and opened it up to reveal... the accessory pack. It cost $8 USD. I was kinda pissed. My curiosity got the best of me, though, and I went back the next day. Only one in the entire shipment still remained, so I grabbed it. Got an RX-78-2. He hangs out on my desk at work now :)

[@ArchusKanzaki]

Lol I also did not realize that it also featured accessory sets too. Man, Japan fascinate me sometimes on how much they are milking you if you are a Collector.

[@Snacks256]

"Surely I wouldn't get the same gacha three times in a row, right?" Uh oh, gambler's fallacy.

[@allenusison3124]

Oh, funny story, while you have the devil's luck on the G-Witch character keychains, Miomio's VA Lynn hit rock bottom at not getting what she wanted. At least you have a good head on your shoulders and stopped from going crazy on the Ensemble figures, but hey, I love that collection because of the Barbatos.

[@Gatherway]

10:09 Wait, wait, wait... you're telling me that the HG Aerial is of equal value to the MG Phenex and MG Shiki 2.0, even in Japan? That kit's scarcity is even crazier than I thought...

[@Borgron]

That’s weird. It’s so common here in the States.

[@Gatherway]

@@Borgron Things have changed in the year and a half since the video was posted. Guess we just had to wait for supply to catch up to the demand.

[@Borgron]

@@Gatherway true. That was around when I was first getting into Gunpla, so I guess I didn’t notice as much.

[@danielreed3666]

I remember when the yen to us dollar conversion was 280 yen = 1 us dollar ( comics/sci-fi stores in the us would not bother with what the conversion rate was as it changed day by day chosing instead to go by a penny-per-yen rate for imported anime stuff ( Hobby Link Japan started so anime fans could pay less, using the actual exchange rate rather than the penny per yen ratio))

[@Borgron]

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering why people would use HLJ nowadays due to the shipping costs. Now it makes more sense.

[@samuelyeoh4506]

As a guy who collects ms ensemble,I wouldn't go for the gachapon capsules but I would go for the cardboard box version because 1,you can actually hold them and weigh them roughly and 2,you can squeeze them slightly to feel the frame parts to see if it's an ms or a vehicle or weapon set

[@samuraijackson241]

I just buy the whole set.

[@MSGSlayer1]

That mini GM's from the Micro Wars gachapon line. I've got an RX-79 and a hover tank from Barnes and Noble.

[@vustvaleo8068]

I think Bandai should make a Gachapon that contains weapons and accessories for customizing your Gunpla, we sort of got that with Build Divers with the SD Gundams that can turn into weapons used by 1/144 scale kits.

[@stryderprime]

So back in October they had Gachapons machine at the New York Comic con shows I spent $20 on 3 figures. one was a dragon ball figure from the new movie while the other was from Warhammer. The last one was a gundam figure that turned out to be the Zeta Gundam. Gamestop has this machine in there store but lately they have been removing them since it keep braking down and they end up selling the ball directly but you get the choices what you want

[@TheRogueBoys]

my favorite mecha, GM from Armored Trooper Votoms

[@Sai1523]

I'm 99% sure the gachas at 0:18 are at the station exit in Yokohama near the giant gundam or at least on the way. I'm pretty sure I've been to those.

[@sndark6241]

Legit burst out laughing when Honoo no Sadame started playing over that last GM. Brilliant.

[@michealvalois4463]

Thing is, unlike American casionos, Japan actually requires all the machines to have fair odds, so honestly not the worst. And Im not just saying that as someone who got a RG Tallgeese II out of a Gachapon when I went to Japan 🤣

[@TorhWeirtly]

Mobile Suit Ensemble is a pretty fun line: gachapon gunpla essentially and can be easily combined in different ways, buyee is a good place to get them if not in Japan, nice to see them featured on the channel!

[@chatspam1238]

I saw the Hazel booster pack and immediately knew the 100USD kakarot spent was worth it. EDIT: I take it back.... yikes

[@seraveegundam2032]

I don’t know why but I always like the atmosphere in these kind of stores

[@TheKusa5]

a votom GM sounds kinda rad actually I mean, surely the scopedog evokes some of the GM spirit in it right?

[@nedinnis6752]

Spirit of a GM with the body of a Zaku

[@arthurdub7901]

Gachapon machines are honestly a waste of money but it’s fun to play from time to time.

[@sawlol2011]

This is a video of a man succumbing to terminal gacha addiction disguised as a vlog. Hope you get better soon Kakarot

[@jxfilid]

"the back of my head told me to keep going" thats addiction not intuition

[@Rainbowxjapan]

I would Love another video like this from you. Ive been thinking about opening a Gatchapon store in the states.

[@hitachicordoba]

In LA there is a pop-up gacha/crane game shop in Little Tokyo. Probably best to just look for the one you actually want at Anime Jungle or Book-Off tho lol

[@snukastyle]

500 yen for an Ensemble's not bad. I just found them at retail here in the U.S. for $9 per blind box. Got the Zaku II, so not a bad pull. I'd have too much fun with some of the SD/chibi machines you showed off, not to mention those cards!

[@Youtubefan-dk1gm]

We need more Kakarot gacha adventure vids.

[@cybersteampunk]

this is so true, it's so ubiquitous and the variety is so huge with varying prices, I didn't notice to have spent Yens on gachapons that could buy three MG kits.

[@ryuuohdeltaplus7936]

7:06 Yooo that DearS figure is nice!!

[@megajeremy90001]

If Genshin Impact had these Gachapon Machines, you don't even need to play the actual game anymore.

[@ShiningHatsya]

I'd love to buy your Mobile Suit Ensemble to kitbash them onto Aqua Shooters and Robot Concerto, vice versa.

[@metalimposter]

This is actually amazing content, definitely earned my sub!

[@stormcaller2737]

Pretty nice little haul, would love to see more gachapon vids like this in the future! 😁👏✨🤖

[@andrewbarajas9063]

Definitely need a full collection video of these gasha

[@Noizemaze4]

oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan these were THE DAYS ~~~~ played (PAYED) a bunch of these when I was in Taiwan as well, I think they've pretty much stopped these though around 2014 ish

[@RileyZilla1001]

Also the Gundam Micro Wars figures are dope as shit.

[@MHSlice]

The small SD-likes are so cool! I could drain tons of money there too.

[@RalseiGaming]

honest to god i didn’t know gundam was a anime until less then a year ago i though it was japanses pacific rim or something

[@supremekami]

You rolled better stuff IRL than you would of on Gundam Breaker Mobile. Definitely worth $100 😄

[@zhenryu808]

That is the gatcha lyfe with a pinch of salt and sprinkle with eye tears is. Gg

[@KLGBAviator]

Gachapon is so addicting just moved back to Tokyo . Last month . I usually go to Nakano broadway for Gatcha so many machines😊 love your content❤

[@chrisbellon3739]

One of my local Game stop have few gaspawn machines ,like 4

[@robo3541]

No lie that Gm at the end was a nice cherry to finish the video. Didn’t expect the cockpit to open

[@brunneng38]

Do the "hot water/cold water" trick to straighten out those weapons and the Zaku shoulder armor.

[@Smilomaniac]

The best prize was getting one of each of the keychains, the experience more so than the keychains themselves. I've never won anything of note in anything. The only good experience I've ever had was drawing a gold foil Michael Jorden card from the very first booster pack of NBA cards and since then I've gotten zilch.

[@thecringeslayer4897]

3:56 i dont know why you dont like this guy, hes adorable

[@walt_man]

These are great! Love that Hy-Gogg! Gundam Yokai!

[@justinyang21114798]

Omg they bring back so much memories for me. Back in elementary school my friends and I would trade these especially the ones from the Next series haha.

[@fishpop]

What would be nice is you could refund your dupes. Hand them to the shop person and they can restock the machine and you get your money back.

[@ApenBaard]

The ensemble line is pretty rad, and you can just get em in a box of 4 or 10 pcs at hlj. Although sadly the 4pc boxes always sell out incredibly fast. The 10pc boxes are still pretty nice too as you basically get 2 complete sets. If you know someone else who you can split the box with you can easily get a whole set for only 2500 yen. From what ive been told the 4 and 10pc boxes are also just available in supermarkets in japan.

[@ZendegiLeonard]

"This time is going to be different" puts last dollar of the paycheck in the pokie

[@Sgt.Dornan117]

This whole video summed up in *Gacha machine go "brrrrrrrr"*

[@wpeniche]

I’m well over $2000 into the gatcha 1/400 line😭😭

[@Lhow0810]

i like the low silent "fuck"

[@kc5946]

Love the video! Always wish the other gashapon video channels got more gundam ones lol. Wasn't there gashapons that would only bring in pieces that make up a bigger figure?

[@DrJay1234]

That Sword Impulse has huge Gary Jules Mad World energy.

[@Echo_419]

1:01 nani!? Alright, going to finish the rest of the video now.

[@YiminyCricket]

Using a nintendo DS as a base of sorts I see you are a man of culture as well/10

[@ruindal_r-21]

Chibi Ghiren's speach killed me XD

[@QuintusAntonious]

The one benefit of this may be that these gatchas tend to sell well on American eBay where there isn't knowledge of or easy access to the prizes. Some of those older ones, especially, can sell for 2-3x (or more) the price of the machine.

[@jasongondopurnomo3438]

pro tip: for mobile ensemble the gear set or the gundam are chosen for a specific colour like v gundam is color green

[@MaxHDAvenger]

Huh wonder how some of gachapons end up in my local gamestop?

[@corwinharper8763]

Idk where this recommendation came from hell bro that was a fun trip. Those machines would squeeze every cent out my American ass 🤣 dragon ball super and Gundams

[@hazzamutantxchannel]

Glad I’m not the only one who suffered from the hazel gacha set I kept getting the accessory set and a acguy army sadly no hazel

[@kateshi1100]

That "nope" in 12:37 got me laughing

[@NepNeptune_z]

Kakarot fighting his uphill battle against Mobile suit ensemble 3

[@Franz0818]

The first gachapon machine you tried was an insult to the Leo Master Race. The only cure for it now is the Tall Geese

[@mafiadvd8946]

I think it is cheaper if you buy the whole box set for the ensemble one, unless it is the older release which is harder to find

[@yanjirujan193]

At least you got that GM from Gundam Micro Wars

[@andrewbarajas9063]

Also great video would love to see another in the future

[@sloreo8278]

We use to have these at a local mall but I thought they were just fixed small keychains. Super bummed I never tried to get one now seeing what they are.

[@helmetfvt]

Yooo! How can you resist not spending more than a $100!? So much cool Gundams!!

[@StarlineWasTaken]

I’ll take that Zeon Zaku off your hands.

[@boeingnz]

Peek in the machine first to make sure they have the one you want. May be there are one that only sale one type.

[@kelvinchewjw]

Votom GM actually a cool concept

[@Eddies_Channel]

You should do a video where you rank your Gachapons based on how well you like them

[@tomthetoaster8004]

Hey, where in japan did you find witch from mercury gundam gashapons? Ive been looking around tokyo but i cant seem to find them

[@hmmdoh7835]

Kakarot197: FOR SICENCE!!! lol

[@drvinylscratch1936]

So time to spend $300 on a chance at the $400+ snow white prelude

[@iron2000]

Is Gihren on the verge of turning sticky? The hair looks oily. I have a set of chibi SEED chara but all tuened oily and sticky after so long.

[@viperson9818]

Definitely if I ever go to Japan I will definitely gamble for the item I want, but once I cry in dissapointment I can easily cheer myself back up by buying the thing I want.

[@major_glory_2142]

So th last machine for the big win was $22 and some bad luck...but cool video 👍👍👍

[@cheeeeeesewithbadmouseandk1044]

This is where I will spend my money, IF I HAD ANY

I actually win several figures out of crane machine in Japan, in 500 yen or so, so yeah 3000 yen is alot to ask. I kinda recommend the Shinjuku's if it still exist. Twice I go to Japan and twice that spot gives me pretty good stuffs
