Select which items you want the opportunity to purchase. Take a ticket for each of those items. Please note, a ticket to purchase is not guaranteed.

There will be 2 types of tickets: “Guaranteed Purchase” tickets, and “Random Drawing” tickets.

If you get a “Guaranteed Purchase” ticket, read it carefully! It will list the time range you can come to the Bandai booth #3535 that day only to purchase your product.

If you get a “Random Drawing” ticket, you have been entered in the drawing to purchase that item on the specified day. Check at the Bandai booth #3535 on the big screens, any time after 10:00 AM on the designated date to see if your number is drawn for you to purchase on that day only!

Be sure to purchase your product by 5:00 PM on the same day you receive the ticket!! Tickets are valid same day only.

Credit card only, no cash. No product will be sold without a valid “Guaranteed Purchase” ticket or a winning “Random Drawing” ticket. Limit 1 of each item per person.
