[Tokyo Comic Con 2019] Information on products and sales method [INSTINCTOY / Booth-E-001]

We will be exhibiting at Tokyo Comic Con 2019, which will be held at Makuhari Messe from November 22nd to November 24th this year.

It is the 3rd time that we join TCC. Every year, many customers visit our booth and this year, our booth has increased by 30% in size.

There is a sales and gallery space inside the booth, to offer our customers a special environment during their visit.

Our exhibition area has even more to offer. We will showcase new works and reveal new projects, as well as display many samples.

INSTINCTOY is also one of the sponsors of Tokyo Comic Con this year.

Now, let us get to the main point. We have prepared a lot of products for Tokyo Comic Con this year.

We will be offering lots of different products, many of them are Tokyo Comic Con exclusives. Therefore, we have divided our sales method into three kinds, in order to not cause confusion.

We would like to introduce our first sales method, <<First-come-first-served>.

The items included are mainly small to medium sized figures of 6,500 Yen or less. We will also offer 2 special Tokyo Comic Con exclusive items: SPACE MOLLY2019 INSTINCTOY limited color and a special limited color Fluffy (clear ver.) set, including an INSTINCTOY LOGO original clear bag.

In addition, we will sell some mini-figures and pin badges, which were sold in the past, at a special price. Please do not miss out on this opportunity. Each category within the <first-come-first-served> product list has a different limit on the number of purchases. Details will be disclosed at our booth on the day(s) of the event. You can line up for our first-come-first-served products as many times as possible during the event.

The second sales method is <email pre-lottery>.

The first 50 winners of the <venue lottery sales> each day, which are scheduled to be held on the first and second day of the event, will be determined in advance via email lottery.

For the email pre-lottery, we will prepare a separate article including all the details regarding this sales method. Please follow this link if you would like to apply for the <email pre-lottery>

The third sales method will be the <venue lottery on the day(s) of the event>.

These are lottery products mostly over 6,500 Yen with a focus on original products from INSTINCTOY, as well as Tokyo Comic Con EXCLUSIVE products by artists and manufacturers with whom we have the chance to work with. These products are also divided into three categories in order to provide as many people as possible with a chance to get their hands on one of these items. Customers who have been selected as a winner of the lottery can purchase up to 1 item from each category, up to a total of 3 items (selection restrictions for each category).

Next, we will explain the sales method for <1. First-come-first-served> and <3. venue lottery on the day(s) of the event>.a little bit more in detail.

Our staff will distribute wristband type numbered tickets in ascending numerical order, starting from the first customer. The sales will be carried out according to the reference numbers on the wristband tickets.

Product shelves are installed along the dotted spots shown in the image. The product shelves display products with a focus on mini figures that cost less than 5,000 Yen. Please select your desired products within the purchase limit and proceed to the order reception window (A).
