Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about finding and playing Tomy Takara gacha machines across Australia.
What is a Tomy Takara gacha machine?
Gacha Capsule machines are Japanese capsule-toy vending machines: pop in your tokens, turn the dial, and collect a surprise capsule toy. "Gacha®" is the capsule-toy brand of Takara Tomy A.R.T.S, and we place authentic Tomy Takara gacha machines in shopping centres and venues across Australia.
Are these authentic Tomy Takara gacha?
Yes. Every machine in our network dispenses authentic Japanese Gacha Capsules from Takara Tomy A.R.T.S — the same capsule-toy craft loved across Japan, where gacha first arrived back in 1965. As part of the Vendables & Pop Attack network we source genuine capsules, never counterfeits.
Where can I find a gacha machine near me?
Use our location finder to search by suburb, postcode or shopping centre, or browse by state. The interactive map shows every active machine location, plus venues that are coming soon.
How much do the machines cost to play?
Our machines run on Gacha tokens: 2 tokens for $6.95 or 3 tokens for $9.95. Product prices are mostly 2 and 3 tokens across the range, and each machine shows the token price of its series.
What payment methods do the machines accept?
Machines take Gacha tokens (2 for $6.95, 3 for $9.95), and a growing number of locations also accept card and contactless tap payments when buying tokens. Check the machine details on each location page where available.
A machine is not working — how do I report it?
Sorry about that! Head to our Report an Issue page, choose the location and tell us what happened. You can even attach a photo. Our team is notified straight away.
Can I suggest a new location for a gacha machine?
Absolutely — we love suggestions. Use our Suggest a Location form to tell us about a shopping centre or venue you would love to see a machine in.
I run a shopping centre or venue — how do I host machines?
Gacha machines are a low-footprint, high-engagement attraction that drive foot traffic and dwell time. Visit our For Venues page and send us a partnership enquiry to get started.
