Angry_Gumball Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Bah..gotta head to the store, won't be back in an hour, so a refresh I'll do..only 4 hours now. Should give me enough time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godwyn Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Something must have happened. I checked right before I headed to work at 10 (central time) and it had a 5 and a half hour wait. But good for all of you that ended up getting a good place in line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbottgen Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 6 1/2 hour wait now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 12 peple in front of me and they stopped to refill again. I think whoever refilled last time did a bad job as everyone was able to grab a ball really easily! Now they're taking some more time and burying stuff which kind of screws me over, but oh well!

Mr. Starr Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 So, the claw is stuck in mid air off to the side of the machine. There's only six people in front of me, I hope I don't get kicked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazekiddd Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 As long as its fixed. I have 4 people in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Starr Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's back up and running now. Â I've been the next one in line for a while now, I think they may just be testing it. Â EDIT: It's fixed, but everyone was kicked I was first in line now I'm #14. Â Good thing is, I did have a nice 45 minute conversation with everyone around me!

deathbydinn Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 ^ I see you a few spots behind me, and I'm behind someone called CoasterFreak on my other account. I seem to be next to some coaster nerd each time I play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbottgen Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What the? Just checked the live feed. The machine is filled with nothing but big balls. And prize balls. But they are all big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 ^ I Know!! Â The worst thing is, people aren't even winning!! If I was next in line I wouldn't go home empty handed! Â Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) I'm sure by now that many of us have won...but here's a little trick I found that will help you line the claw up and grab what you want. Think of it like a FPS (when looking at the image) and when you play, imagine that those cross hairs are really there. This is what has actually helped me increase the (edited) prize-grabbing skills!

jbottgen Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks for the info. I always plan for the claw to fall backwards. Â I will try it out in about 40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Damn, I actually managed to grab a present tonight...but I'm not eligible any more. I got to the car exploding screen, but instead of the "put in your address" screen I just got the "thanks for playing." Â Â Honestly, that's good for them because they should be logging IPs of those who played before. Â Still fun though!!!

Angry_Gumball Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Do they log IP's? I think it may be based on user name because I initially had the same thing...the 'sploding car (love that!), and a You Won! but no address. I made a new name, won, and it asked for an address. Now one of my friends from college wants me to win them a huge blue ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 ^ I'm not sure. But I know I've won on the same username twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-RadG Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Damn. Played twice tonight and dropped a clear ball the first time and flat out screwed up the second time. Oh well, I have no life so there's always tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 OMG! I finally won!! First time winning so does that mean I will actually end up getting the ball in the mail, even though its not the clear one with the present in it? So excited! Even though I cant win again, I will for sure keep playing! Hell I have no life anyways! ~Matthew YAY!! Its pink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now one of my friends from college wants me to win them a huge blue ball. I'm pretty sure it depends on how you sign in. If you win with a certain email address, you can't win with that email address again. Same thing with Facebook and Twitter accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Looks like the Santa Claw visited my local Big Lots store earlier today...(well, not really. Couldn't help it but grin when I saw these though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
