We have a few Beaver's - all southern beaver style (small - but can accept 1" toys / gumballs). We don't have any candy in them - as we cannot control the kids finding quarters and getting candy. Worried about the long term costs of that @ the dentist.
Looking for advice on a few fronts:
healthy candies to put in beaver besides nuts. (i know an oxymoron)
1" toy suppliers in Canada. We have two conversions for the 1" toy/gumball
What about peanuts? They're not nuts, and not unhealthy (if they're unsalted). What about sugar free gum? Do they come in ball form?

I have sugar free gumballs in mine cause of the same dental concerns...my 5 year old loves candy! I got mine at Bulk Barn. Buy what you need and you don't have to fill the machine completely full so things stay fresh. I would definitely go to Bulk Barn and check their stock. They have tons of choices...some good...some bad.
Here are games I would like to acquire this year, or sometime...

- add "Medvet" as a supplier ... ask her to give you a few to check if they fit
Actually Doug I ordered from Actionmatic a few years ago and still have about 1000 toy capsules for my Beaver which should fit yours. Toys are appropriate for boys and girls your kids age. You can have a good supply if you like - no prob. Re candy etc - I stick with toys so can't help you there.
Thanks. I got that advice from another web store, too. I've emailed - and awaiting a response. Thanks.
Regarding, medvet - that's a neat idea - maybe jvegas could supply the machines & medvet could be the parts distributor
Johnny, peanuts are out at our house. Our little one had a reaction a few years back - not sure if she's alergic - we haven't tested her since...
Sugarfree is probably a good idea.
I was going to try the "Kickbutt" - http://www.funenergyfoods.com/ . I had been following them for awhile because they were mentioning that they would have kid-friendly kickbutts ( I guess reduced caffeine )...

Too funny. That sounds good - I also forget to get that Sinbad coil from you - so I gotta drop by sometime to play, errr, I mean pick up the coil. Honest mistake
I'll probably order some from Actionmatic too - so if interested you can have some of mine when they arrive - probably more geared towards girls - butterfly tattoos, jewerly, etc. The challenge of 850 toys for two kids wears thin on them pretty quickly
I talked to Mark @ ActionMatic - he knew about Dave in Calgary
I've placed an order for the following - to have some variety @ home
Bouncy Balls #B1601 - 27mm Sportball Super Balls Fun Games # B1402 Mixed Fun Games Soccer Gumball #4271 Soccer Bubble Gum Toy Mix 1.1" (28mm) Toy Mix Ring Mix 1.1" (28mm) Ring Mix Power Pins 1 1/8" (28mm) Power Pins- Tattoo 1-1/8 Tattoo Mix #3 - Boys & Girls
If anyone wants some for their machines in the Ottawa let me know - as there's more there than we'll use in a lifetime... Doug.
I'd love some of that but I need the machine first I guess.. Damn... Anyone have a Beaver toy thingy for sale/trade?

I guess these are out - they are $0.30 each - and you order in lots of 800. Plus they seem heat sensitive - so not a good choice if they are going to get warm.
