Gumball gaming

Admission: I love the little toys in vending machines... especially ninjas.

That being said, I'm wondering if it has been considered/implemented to use the cheap little plastic figures that are sold out of them as game pieces...

Obviously, you'd need to buy them from a supplier, as it would look really silly to sit in front of a supermarket putting a sack of quarters into the same machine (and it would be expensive). I didn't need to say that, but the mental image was too good to pass up.

This could provide the pieces I need for the gameboard bag concept (rather than relying on glass beads and/or dice [the staples of little games]. Yeah, ninjas are more awesome than glass beads...

Note on Label: GDI stands for Game Design Industry... and has nothing to do with command and conquer.
