FORGET winning a cuddly toy or a model car at the amusement arcade - a prankster in Townsville has filled a "skill tester" machine with much more valuable collateral.
The Townsville Bulletin reported on the incident where Brendan Wright, the owner of the Toy Soldier game, filled it up with toilet paper instead (pictured).
It costs $2 a go, with users given three attempts at controlling a mechanical claw to grab the items.
Those who aren't in a panic-buying dunny dilemma can also go for more traditional prizes of stuffed teddy bears.
"It started off as a joke between friends about toilet paper shortage," he said, with the shelves of local supermarkets stripped amid the current national lockdowns.
"They all think it's hilarious and a great idea. You just have to look at the bright side of life during these uncertain times.
"As they say, a day without laughter is a day wasted," Wright wisely added.
