Sounds sweet. Though, I'm assuming this is only available to Japanese residents?

How would you claim your prize? If it is shipped what are the shipping costs?

This is such a fun idea. Typical of Japan.

Has anyone actually gotten this to work? Once it connects I get a screen that looks like this:


Dunno what it actually says, though im prepared to bet its a 'you cant use this because your not in Japan' message. I better be careful if I actually do get this to work though, this is the sort of thing I could get addicted to lol.

Unable to Connect. This may be because of maintenance.

...is what it says. Nice of it to be so ambiguous Smile

If they throw some Ichiban Kuji's in there, then I'll be jealous. Until then I'll just get my prize figures from HLJ and Otacute since it's simpler.

Wow, someone came up with a genius idea! My only concern: If you pick up one of the figures with the crane, I really really hope it doesn't drop them as it does all the time with regular crane game prizes.....
