hulksmashu00 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ok i have a very large order of toys going in with aa at somepoint in the next couple days. Im still crunching numbers and working out details but the order looks like this so far. 18 bags spongebob 1 inch tat 40 100 piece bags self vend fun time mix 1 inch 18 bags grow animal 1 inch 18 bags silly sports dudes 1 inch 18 bags 27mm bb mix So my questions are 1. I will be making my own mystery mix by mixing old product in with the fun time self vend what is the best way to go about the display? I was thinking of getting a bunch of the treasure chest displays but should i tape a couple nice toys to it to show off the mix? These are going into 1800 tripple machines so you cant really see the toys just the display..... 2. What are your thoughts on my choices of toys? Im at a .25 price point so was limited to toys at under 20 a bag. The grow animals and silly sports dudes will be my toy options as soon as i run low on the toys i am already running and whatever is left will go in the toy mix for certain locations.

BouncyBalls Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I just use the cardboard display for the fun mix and never had a complaint with "junk mix" mixed in with it. Do you have a capsule wheel on those 1-800 machines? If all you have is a 1" GB wheel the toys will not vend unless you get "round" 1" caps.

Im using the gumball wheels with acorn capsules now the ones allstars toys come in. I had issues until i drilled new holes in the wheels so i could open them all the way up. When you say the toys wont vend do you mean the self vend toys will not vend at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBalls Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well if you modified the wheel then maybe they will work, since you are vending 1.1" acorn caps. I was just giving you heads up in case you didn't know that a "non modified" gb wheel wouldn't vend a capsuled toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and if you are having that problem take the gumball wheel unscrew the three black screws open it up all the way drill three new holes and screw the screws back in. Then remove the long spring and spacer and they vend perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBalls Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't have 1-800's but, someone else may need this advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Vending Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The best display is a leader item, a dollar in a cap , or a dice or small Rubik's cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmms250713 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I simply "broke out" the part of the wheel that closes and opens for size. So it's just the circles and now it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmkraz Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 18 bags spongebob 1 inch tat 2. What are your thoughts on my choices of toys? Im at a .25 price point so was limited to toys at under 20 a bag. The grow animals and silly sports dudes will be my toy options as soon as i run low on the toys i am already running and whatever is left will go in the toy mix for certain locations. I urge caution with the spongebob tattoos in 1" capsules. It might do fine for you, or it might be terrible. I can't give the things away in the northeast, even at 25 cents (almost all my toys are 50 cents). 18 bags is a lot of product to be mixing into mystery mixes if it doesn't sell. Consider lowering the quantity until it's proven. Grow animals is a good choice. A consistent good seller and family friendly. Funtime mix and BB are solid choices. I've never run the silly sports dudes so I can't comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmms250713 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It won't let me attach this pic I'm on mobile maybe someone can repost it? This is what I use for my mystery mixes, I print it on printable sheets of vinyl from eBay. They are the size of paper for like $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pull quarters where im at. I've only tried SpongeBob and Madagascar and the Madagascar did a little better but that was 18 months ago when the movies were more current. After that I stopped with 1" tattoos. Sounds like they're working for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlock Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just use the cardboard display for the fun mix and never had a complaint with "junk mix" mixed in with it. Same here. I regularly use the fun mix display or the blast pack display. Never had one complaint. What 1 inch tats would you suggest? what one sells best for you? I'll second Mussers comments about avoiding 1" tattoos. Those tatts in a cap have done nothing for me -- and I've tried them in all kinds of locations. In some locations, EVERY OTHER product in my 1" rotation will earn well EXCEPT 1" tattoos. The only reason I'd buy again is as a junk mix filler, and that price would have to be CHEAP!

The grow animal , the tat and the sports dudes are the worse products you could have chosen. Those will sell slow. There are much better products at AA that will sell better. Sounds like your buying based on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
