Up for sale is a very rare early 90s Super Mario world ufo catcher game toy made by epoch. This was a japan-only release. It’s incredibly rare and to my knowledge the only VINTAGE Mario ufo catcher game ever produced. It is modeled after the prize machines where many vintage plushies were obtained in Japanese arcades. The machine is in good shape overall. Box has some faded spots and small imperfections but covers the box as it should and has crisp art. Comes with some very neat mini figures. Does not appear to be the original ones but I have included some cool painted ones so it’s like you are winning a vintage plush like the old school arcades <3. They are metal painted figures from super Mario 64. Power seems to have a short. Sometimes it fires up and Other times it does not. In the past with similar tabletop machines I just played with the wires inside and it was more or less a short or some twisted wires. I will play with the wires a bit as I find the time. But as it stands I am selling it as is. I will include 2 C batteries as I know those big batteries are pricey and not often used in the home.
UPDATE. I have since tinkered with the machine. The issue is with one of the gears not engaging with another in the crane mechanism. The electrical components are fine. It still is acting up but if you are fairly handy you could probably fix it with a little playing around it so the gears line up. I just don’t have the time to tinker with it.
I am selling my whole set of these toys so be sure to check them out ^_^ I would love more than anything to sell them all in one set as I obtained them. I can send videos of them in action upon request. The more large table toys/board games items purchased I can discount the items and shipping accordingly.
shipping May be less (and sometimes quite more!) I can always refund you if it’s way off but I did the weight and dimensions via eBay so they may be correct but sometimes they are off so I can let you know after purchase to be certain.
