Marine Catcher

I've seen many types of UFO Catcher in my years but have never come across ones where you can catch *live* lobsters @.@
For 200 yen a shot, you can try to catch one of these lobsters - just make sure they are not dead form being left there for a long time ^^; But then again, it maybe easier to go for a dead one because it wouldn't wriggle about when you grab it.

Seriously, the UFO Catchers of late are quite extortionate. The ones I spotted in Shibuya for example have huge claws which make it relatively easy to grab a prize. The claw jolts just before it gets to the dropping position - the prize falls short and gives the player a "darn-nearly-got-it!" feeling.
You hear people scream "Oshii!"(惜しい(おしい)) before they put in another 500 yen or whatever.

I have seen people who seem to be gifted with UFO Catcher skills however and manage to pic up just about everything in a machine. Would be cool if the second season of Heros had a person who had UFO catching powers ^^;
