Rakuten Online Market has announced that their “Lucky☆Star x Macross F” line of figurines will be released this September. As the name suggests, these consist of the Lucky Star characters cosplaying the cast of Macross Frontier.
Considered to be the most “premium” of the prizes that one can achieve through the “Ichiban-kuji” lottery, it is said that the chance of one actually winning one is just 4%, meaning it could cost ¥15,000 to get one (along with a mountain of other trinkets)…
At a cost of ¥500 per draw, entrants could in theory walk away with:
Figure A: Konata in Alto costume
Figure B: Kagami in Clan costume
Figure C: Tsukasa in Ranka costume
Figure D: Miyuki in Sheryl costume
International participation looks to be extremely difficult. Expect much activity on auction sites in any case…
Via Banpresto.

15.000¥... Horribile sum.
it's only ~5000 rubles
free = rubbish
150$? Doesn't sound that bad, really.
Although I wonder where the 15000 yen number comes from. It gives a 70% probability of a hit... is that considered certain enough?
What is the sum for 100% then?
it's over 9000!
what 9000?
dragonball joke, nice
I guess you'd have to buy all of them.
My calculations were done presuming a "large number" of lottery tickets: total tickets >> bought tickets. Then the probability of getting what you want looks like:
x= 1 - p^i where p is the probability of not getting what you want, and i is the number of attempts. Given p=96%=0.96 and i=15000$/500$=30, x is approximately 0.70, or 70%. The reverse solution is:
i = ln(1-x)/ln(p) with the same variables. Given a 95% certainty (x=0.95) and p as before, You get i = 73.385, meaning 74 tickets = 37,000 yen to get that 95% certainty. For 99.9% certainty, you'd need to buy 170 tickets... but here the number of tickets is starting to grow so big that this method of calculation is no longer completely reliable.
If one were to look for a 100% chance, the calculation would look radically different. You'd have to buy all of the tickets, minus how many of the thing you want they have, plus one. With less tickets, you'd always have the chance of getting exactly everything except what you want.
God damn, hopefully these make their way to somewhere I can get these easily in the US.
Me too! shit I want the Kagami Klan figure >_<
i want them all
the tsukasa ranka lee is really cute
I wants a Tsukasa Lee XD
Nobody cosplaying Lin Myn Mae?
There goes my nut bladder and my wallet.
"it could cost ¥15,000 to get one "
It saddens me, because I know that people will pay this.
you might spend that much and NOT even get it. It's a lottery anyways
Gotta love how japan mixes such animes,if it were in a western country i think they would be screaming copyrights.
Waiting for Chinese knock-offs.
Kagami + Clan = win + win ^^
Nuff making figures of that quartets... I'd prefer Misao, Iwasaki, Yukata and none other, the neglected Hiyorin.
Oh, except for Klan Kagami..
ooohhhh~ i soo want this!!
season 2 i believe!
wantz the kagamin in the Clan outfit...
Droolz
I would like Kagami, she looks very appealing.
Find a real girl :3
gtfo sancon =3
I'm thinking about giving up collecting...
!
!!
Tsukasa Lee!!!
*nosebleeds*
¥15,000 is for a whole set. Total of 100 prizes including 16 top prize of the above(4 each). So maybe people can order and share the loots.
Sorry i think i posted wrongly please ignore my comment. =)
The only "set" that I have seen Banpresto advertising is the 100 box ¥80,000 deal. You get a case of 100 boxes and you're assured of getting 4 of each main character, 16 of the next category (some weird Kogami Akira thing and that yawning/sleeping cat from Lucky Star), 20 of the customized mini-valykyries (5 of each), and 48 of the additional girls in nyan-nyan waitress cosplay.
The individual boxes are selling for ¥800 a pop here at local stores, so you're not getting any kind of discount other than the fact that you'll be sure to get a set amount of everything. I guess one could in theory try to sell back the extras or something to a shop or on ebay, but I doubt you'd make all your money back.
Konata Alto = WANT!
Miyuki + Sheryl = Same Saiyuu FTW!!
Kagami + Klanx2 = Pure win...
Don't care really about the others, but I'd like to get them eventually!
I thought it'd be better if Kagamin was Alto and Konata was Klan?
Probably they pair the characters with the most fitting hairstyle.
No Misao. Lame.
Indeed, comrade.. And where the heck is my Hiyorin (>>>>>Miyuki)!?
Tsukasa is so cute~ :3
On the bottem it also shows Patty, Hiyori, Minimi, and Yutaka but no Misao and Ayano anywere. Sadly it seems no one gives a shit about them.
i lol'd @ Miyuki cosplaying as Sheryl
seiyuu joke XD
Tsukasa Lee = win
Oh yeah!
It's a trap! I mean a marketing trap!
You pay 150 $, and get nothing...
Can't they made some mass production instead?! That way every otakus is happy!
Miyuki-Sheryl - this really is a no brainer, as they both have the same voice. ^^
The other three are also great matches, with Konata matching Alto's hair, Tsukasa matching Ranka's moeness, and Kagamin with Clan's ponytails.
