This is a common question for anyone looking to purchase a toy crane or claw machine. The direct answer is typically no, the physical prizes are not included when you buy the machine itself from a standard supplier or manufacturer.

When you order a commercial or home-use toy crane machine, you are purchasing the hardware—the cabinet, joystick or buttons, claw mechanism, software, and internal systems. The prizes inside are considered consumable inventory, separate from the machine. This is similar to buying a vending machine; the machine comes empty, and the owner stocks it with snacks or drinks.

Your purchase usually includes:

* The crane machine unit

* Basic setup instructions

* Sometimes tokens or a key for operation

* Manufacturer's warranty

You must source prizes separately. This allows you to choose items that fit your target audience, budget, and theme. Popular prizes include plush toys, small electronics, capsules with toys inside, and other novelty items. For business owners, prize cost and restocking are ongoing operational expenses.

Before buying, always check the supplier's product description or inquire directly to confirm exactly what is included in your specific purchase package.
