£1 self vend products (requiring no capsule)

[dorsetvending]

I have a premium site that does really well during summer season. They are contemplating asking me to remove my capsules toy machines as they have to manually pick up the plastic from the floor as the kids crack the toys with their feet, leaving the mess on the floor.

I am operating Wonders (same size capsules as Tomys) 53mm or something like that and a big Bouly, so 90mm.

My initial thoughts were on licensed soft PVA balls. I've seen Frozen, Spiderman, etc on offer. Also standard 45mm bouncy balls.

Any other ideas out there? And is there a regular supply of them from particular supplier? Really don't want to run out mid season and run risk of losing site.

Other possible machines include sticker machines (are they popular/reliable), cranes (but another operator has them in different building) and the new automated lolly machine from Star Vend.

Your thoughts appreciated.

Thanks chaps.

Defoe a tattoo machine, very reliable although you will have the problem of the outer cards being abandoned . Cranes do well. What about - stacker type machine?

The lolly machine seems too dear to me for what it dispenses.

put in a mini bouly 60mm and do licensed balls
