The Ultimate Claw Machine Gift? How about your very own UFO Balance Catcher. Introduced at the 2010 AOU Amusement Expo. Instead of a joystick, the UFO Balance Catcher uses a balance board, similar to a wii balance board, to move the claw. You can move the board in 8 directions, like a D pad. And if you are skilled enough to grab a prize, you still have to use the balance board to move the claw to the bin to drop your prize. What a fun workout if you can afford it.

Based on the "incinerator" scene of the Disney/Pixar film, Toy Story 3, this track is 1:64 scale and has a ramp and a loop. It is a one-loop gravity track set. It has lights and sound effects and includes one Hot Wheels car. Requires 2 AA batteries. Assembly required.
