Space Invaders piggy bank from Japan
CrunchGear — 30 years went by since the original Space Invaders game was released. It’s one among the few things I like and are older than me. You put the coin in, one invader goes to the tally. After you spared 80 coins you have to empty the bank and start over. To be honest it looks a bit silly. But hey it’s Space Invaders! Get it for 89$. [Via Kotaku]

Space Invaders Tabletop Arcade Cabinet Piggy Bank [Piggy Banks]
Gizmodo — ... arcade cabinets of our youth, this tabletop version actually helps you save money. It even features an LCD screen that lights up when a 100 yen coin is entered. It can hold about 80 coins, which is the equivalent of about $89US. Not a bad haul when all is said and done—in fact, that's about twice as much as the device actually costs. However, I would have liked to see a version of the actual game built-in.[Takara Tomy via CScout Japan via JeanSnow via Kotaku] ...
