You get toy vending machines (well tiny anime/cartoon/game figurines) in the UK too.

the vending machines seem so interesting compared to ours in America...
also an extra reason why I want to go to Japan....
I've heard they have vending machines that play music while u wait...which wouldn't be very long, but still I want to see one! I want to ship some vending machines over from Japan, but thats not quite possible & if it was it'd probably be spendyy. I love Japan's vending machines.
