The Raffle Prize System
The word "kuji" in Japanese literally means raffle. Prize ranks vary in rarity and quality, with S/A & B rank prizes being the rarest/most valuable and C rank prizes on being smaller and more numerous. As the name implies, prizes are drawn randomly and cannot be chosen ahead of time. However, if there are multiple designs of a prize (typical with C rank prizes and lower), the desired design can be chosen if still in stock.
Each kuji series has a predetermined release date (mentioned in the details section of the related kuji page), and a typical set includes around 60 prizes, with the distribution roughly as follows:
S / A / B rank prizes: Typically only 1-3 of each item per set, also the rarest/most valuable items within the set (Chance of winning: around 10%)
C/D rank prizes: Smaller than A/B rank prizes, but still nice. These usually have multiple designs to choose from. (Chance of winning: around 20%)
E rank & lower: Smallest items and have the most variety in designs. Usually blind box. You cannot tell which design you won until you open the package. (Chance of winning: around 40%)
Last One prize (for Ichiban Kuji only): This prize is awarded to the very last person who buys a ticket from each store. Usually a large prize, also the rarest, since there's only one in each set.
The Order Process
At Get Kawaii, kuji series are typically added to the site for preorder 2-4 weeks before they go on sale.
When placing an order, you can select a preferred design/character (when applicable). All entries are guaranteed a randomized prize.
PERKS: If you choose to have blind box items opened, I will sort through all items opened to give you your preferred character(s). I cannot guarantee which items/designs you will get, but this option will drastically increase your chances of winning the desired design/character :) Priority will be based on the order in which I receive payment.
If you prefer to be surprised, please leave a comment during checkout to have the items sent to you in their new/unopened state.
I typically go to buy the items on the date they are released in order to increase the chances of winning A/B rank items.
Items are then shipped out within one week of me picking them up. You will receive an email once your items have been shipped.
