Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th Anniversary Volume 2: Prize Tiers, Paldea Starters, and Navigating the Lottery Outside Japan
By Dexhaul Team · September 30, 2026
These products cannot be bought at a counter in Japan.
Ichiban Kuji is Bandai Spirits' lottery merchandise format: physical tickets sold at Japanese convenience stores, each redeemed for a prize from a fixed pool. There is no retail shelf and no online order from Japan. Once a box run's tickets are claimed, that run is finished.
For collectors outside Japan, importers are the only path. That sourcing structure is why the prices below carry a premium not present in the original yen-based pricing.
Pokémon 30th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji Volume 2 covers Generations 5 through 9: the starter trios from Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Paldea. Volume 1 covers Generations 1 through 4: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Completing all nine starter trios requires both volumes, a split that surprises buyers expecting a single comprehensive set.
G Prize: The Paldea Starter Trio
The standout prize in Volume 2 is the G Prize: a three-plush set of the Paldea starter trio.
Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Sprigatito arrive together as a single lottery prize. JumpIchiban lists the G Prize Paldea trio at $110. That price reflects the lottery-tier sourcing model: this set exists only as a specific draw outcome, not as a product you can pick off a hobby store shelf.
Ichiban Kuji Pokemon 30th Anniversary Vol. 2 - G Prize Paldea Region's Three
$110.00 USD
Volume 1 runs the same prize structure for earlier regions. Prize C covers the Kanto trio at $171 and Prize E covers Hoenn at $122. The Paldea trio at $110 sits below both, which reflects character demand weighted toward Kanto's original starter trio across all three prize tiers.
Individual Kalos Starters in Volume 2
The Kalos starters do not appear as a G Prize trio in the same regional-set format as Paldea. They show up as individual prize plush, listed by character rather than as a three-starter block.
Chespin lists as a standalone Volume 2 Ichiban Kuji plush at $28 from Joe's Japan Plushies. Froakie from the same box lists separately at a similar tier. This structure lets Kalos-focused collectors buy only the character they want without committing to a $110 regional trio block.
At $28 each, individual Kalos singles actually cost less per plush than the implied per-unit price of the $110 Paldea trio ($36.67 each). Character demand drives the Paldea trio's premium, not a higher quality tier.
K Prize: Metal Charms and the Character Demand Gap
The K Prize tier covers all starter generations in Volume 2, one metal charm per starter.
Gacha Kawa sells the K Prize charms individually. Rowlet (Alola) prices at $15, while Quaxly, Sprigatito, Popplio, and Scorbuny each sit at $12.
Fennekin (Kalos) and Oshawott (Unova) list at $10.
That $15 versus $10 gap runs on character demand, not scarcity. Rowlet commands a 50% premium over Fennekin from identical manufacturing, identical prize tier, identical source box.
Japotyle also sells the K Prize as a complete metal charm set at $69.68. Assembling the same set from individual character listings costs more, since you end up paying the demand floor for each charm separately.
J Prize: Rubber Collection
The J Prize is the Volume 2 Rubber Collection: a set of six small rubber figures spanning the Volume 2 starter generations.
JumpIchiban lists the J Prize complete set at $31. Japotyle lists the same prize at $60.63. Both are the identical prize tier from the identical Bandai Spirits box, so the $29.63 gap is sourcing cost and seller margin, not a product difference.
Rubber figures from Ichiban Kuji typically stand 3 to 5 cm tall. This tier suits collectors who want multi-generation starter representation in a compact display without committing to plush storage space.
Last One Prize: Pikachu (Female)
The Last One prize in Volume 2 is a Pikachu (Female) figure, awarded to whoever redeems the final ticket in a given box run.
The Last One is not a pool pull. One Last One exists per box, and once the final ticket is redeemed, that box's Last One is gone with no reprinting mechanism.
Secondary-market sellers who list Last One figures obtained them from a completed box. Nippon Figures lists the Volume 2 Last One Pikachu Female at $151.02; Joe's Japan Plushies lists the same figure at $75. Each listing came from a different completed box at a different time.
The "Restock" label on some Volume 2 listings from larger importers means they are running a new lottery box order, not that Bandai Spirits issued a second print of the same box. Each new box produces its own Last One, which is why Last One figures can appear at multiple price points simultaneously.
Full Set vs. Singles: Where the Math Lands
Nippon Figures sells the Volume 2 Full Set plus Last One at $799.99. Otaku House lists a Full Set of 85 items at $1,045.75, without the Last One bundled.
The singles path costs far less for specific highlights. The G Prize trio at $110, the J Prize rubber set at $31, and three K Prize charms at $12 each totals roughly $177. That covers the main collectible tiers without the $799.99 full-set commitment.
The case for a full set rests on the A and B prizes: the highest-tier items in the box that rarely appear as separate listings. Check the importer's description for what those prizes contain before committing, since configurations vary by box.
For buyers who want the lottery experience itself, AKiBATO sells individual Volume 2 random pulls at $9.75 per ticket. One ticket gives you one random prize from the Volume 2 pool.
Most random draws will land on lower-tier prizes because higher tiers have fewer copies per box. The $9.75 ticket is the entry point for collectors who want the lottery experience rather than a guaranteed outcome.
