Whereas the best one can hope to score at your average Dave & Busters here in America falls squarely in the dice/spider ring/deck of playing cards range, expectations are a bit different in the East. Things like exquisitely detailed collectable figures and high quality stuffed dolls based upon popular characters are totally the norm.

Something else that seems rather routine over there, but which any of us on this side of the ocean would love get our hands on is this swanky little (as well as ultra detailed) Beatmania arcade cab! Though the best part would have to be how Konami has been thoughtful enough to provide upgrade kits in the form of papercraft, to ensure that your mini cabinet can keep up with what’s going on in the arcade.

Furthermore, you can also create your own arcade to help keep your various collectable figurines entertained instead of just standing there and collecting dust on bookshelves. Expect to see further machines coming later down the road.
