Though it could probably be used for vending candy, the manufacturer
uses it to dispense encapsulated toys. The Capsulestation is made by
one of the world's largest toy manufacturers. The vending machines
are gaining in popularity in the UK, and are being made available by
John Potts Vending Services:
"We currently stock vending machines from Bandai (Capsulestation),
Tomy (Gacha), Chupa Chups, Beaver, Discapa and Fiam."

The machines are likely manufactured in Japan, but Bandai has a
holding company in California, which might be a better place to
initiate negotiations:

Japan will form a U.S. holding company, NAMCO BANDAI Holdings
(USA) Inc. (NBHU)."
