What this is
Lottery-style prize draws tied to Persona's 30th anniversary, sold one pull at a time for ¥850 each at participating retail stores across Japan starting November 28, 2026. Ichiban Kuji is Bandai Spirits' iconic convenience store and hobby shop lottery format where every ticket wins a prize — ranging from premium figures and acrylic stands down to smaller consolation items. Stock is limited and sells out fast, making early arrival on release day essential.
Who should go
Persona series fans who want anniversary merchandise and enjoy the thrill of the Ichiban Kuji lottery format. Not a ticketed event or venue experience — this is a retail release at hobby shops and participating stores.
Good to know
This is a nationwide retail lottery release, not a single venue event — check the official Ichiban Kuji website or Bandai Spirits' store locator to find participating shops near you. Payment is almost always cash-only at smaller hobby shops and convenience stores; larger chains like Animate or Aeon may accept cards. Stock is allocated per store and is strictly while supplies last — there is no reservation system. Prize tiers are revealed on the official site before release so you can gauge odds before committing pulls. Unsold stock occasionally appears on secondary markets like Mercari Japan or AmiAmi shortly after release.
