Ichiban Kuji Gundam UC SAGA INTERLUDE: Every Prize A to I
Bandai Spirits ships a new Zeon-themed lottery on November 5, 2026: the Gundam UC SAGA INTERLUDE kuji flips the Universal Century ichiban kuji line fully onto the Principality of Zeon's side, headlined by a Lalah Sune MASTERLISE figure and a 200cm Garma Zabi fabric centerpiece. This guide decodes all nine prize tiers from A to I, explains why the Last One prize is the one worth chasing, and breaks down what a single draw actually costs once you buy it from outside Japan.
Key Takeaways
- Gundam UC SAGA INTERLUDE kuji releases November 5, 2026 in Japan at ¥900 per draw, with 70 total draws per box.
- The theme is entirely Zeon-side: Zaku II, Lalah Sune, and Garma Zabi, in contrast to the Federation-leaning SAGA2 kuji already in Akibato's Gundam collection.
- The grail prizes are C (Lalah Sune MASTERLISE), D (the Garma Zabi Hyper Mega Cross banner), and the Last One (Char's Custom Zaku II BUSTISAN).
- Buying through an overseas retailer runs roughly 2.3x the Japan price once a single draw is marked up for international resale.
What Is Gundam UC SAGA INTERLUDE Kuji?
Ichiban kuji is Japan's single-draw lottery format: every ticket wins a prize, tickets are sold one at a time at convenience stores, hobby shops, and online, and the rarest figures sit at the top of the alphabet. Gundam UC SAGA INTERLUDE is the third 2026 release in Bandai Spirits' Universal Century kuji project, following the original Saga in February and SAGA2 later in the year.
Online sales open at 5:00 PM JST on release day through Ichiban Kuji ONLINE, alongside physical stock at participating retailers. Akibato stocks Gundam prize figures and the related SAGA2 kuji in its Gundam collection if you want to see what a sibling release looks like while INTERLUDE ships.
The Full Prize Lineup: 9 Tiers From A to I
Every tier in this box is a Zeon-faction item. The table below lists what each letter actually gets you.
| Prize | Item | Size | Selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Zaku II BUSTISAN | ~16cm | Random |
| B | Black Tri-Stars Zaku II BUSTISAN | ~16cm | Random |
| C | Lalah Sune MASTERLISE | ~22cm | Random |
| D | Garma Zabi Hyper Mega Cross banner | ~200cm | Random |
| E | Zaku Head Magnet (4 designs) | ~5cm | Random |
| F | Rubber Charm (10 designs) | ~7cm | Selectable |
| G | Universal Century Towel (5 designs) | ~80cm | Selectable |
| H | ACLLECT MSV Zaku Edition (20 designs + 2 secrets) | ~8cm | Random |
| I | Gundam Poster Collection (10 designs) | B3 | Selectable |
| Last One | Char's Custom Zaku II BUSTISAN | ~16cm | Final ticket only |
Grail Tier: A Through D
C and D are the two prizes collectors are actually entering for. Lalah Sune MASTERLISE is the only named-character figure in the box rather than a bust, sculpted at roughly 22cm in a dynamic pose. The Garma Zabi piece is a 200cm fabric banner rather than a figure at all, and toy-people.com reported fans were already planning mock "state funeral" display setups around it, a sign the novelty value is doing as much work here as the sculpt quality.
Filler Tier: E Through I
E through I are the volume prizes every ichiban kuji box needs to hit its ticket count: head magnets, rubber charms, a towel, acrylic stands, and posters. None of them are rare on their own, but F, G, and I let you pick the specific design once you win that tier, which is worth knowing before you draw.
The Last One Prize and Double Chance, Explained
The Last One prize goes to whoever buys the final ticket in a given box, which is why it is usually the hardest single item to plan around — you cannot target it directly, only the retailer's last customer gets it. Here that prize is Char's Custom Zaku II BUSTISAN, a palette-swapped version of the A and B prize sculpts rather than a new mold.
Double Chance campaigns are Bandai's standard fallback for everyone who does not land the Last One: losing ticket stubs from a specific run can be mailed in for a later drawing at an additional unit of a top-tier prize. Exact mail-in rules for this box had not been published as of this kuji's prize reveal, so confirm the entry window with your retailer before discarding any stubs.
How INTERLUDE Compares to the Earlier UC Saga and Saga2 Kuji
The original Saga launched in February 2026 at 7-Eleven for ¥850 per draw, led by a nu Gundam bust, a Char Aznable MASTERLISE as B prize, and a Sazabi bust as the Last One — a lineup built around Char's arc across both Universal Century timelines. SAGA2 followed with an RX-78-2 and Federation-leaning roster, and it is the one Akibato currently has in stock in its Gundam collection.
INTERLUDE is the first of the three to hand every prize to the Zeon side: Zaku II, Lalah Sune, and Garma Zabi, with no Federation figure anywhere in the box. It lands alongside Bandai's wider 2026 Gundam push, which also includes GUNDAM ASSEMBLE, the brand's new stackable miniatures game. The kuji's BUSTISAN and MASTERLISE sculpts are exclusive to this lottery format and are not the same product lines as Banpresto's crane-game prize figures — if you have only seen lines like Grandista before, this is a different manufacturing track entirely.
How Much Does a Draw Cost, and How Do You Buy It Outside Japan?
Japan Price vs. Overseas Price
In Japan, a single draw is ¥900 including tax, roughly $6 at current exchange rates, bought one ticket at a time at a physical counter or through Ichiban Kuji ONLINE. Overseas retailer Otaku House lists the same draw at $14.02, a markup of about 2.3x once international handling is folded into the sticker price rather than charged separately at the end.
What Happens After You Win
Overseas shops ship full, unopened boxes rather than letting buyers choose individual tiers — a box here holds 70 total draws. Shipping fees are calculated by the weight and dimensions of whatever you actually win, a minimum fee is charged up front, and the remaining balance is billed after your items are weighed and packed. Most sellers open the box on livestream once it arrives and state plainly that kuji purchases carry no refunds or cancellations. Estimated arrival for this box is November or December 2026.
FAQ: Gundam UC SAGA INTERLUDE Kuji
When does it release? November 5, 2026 in Japan, with online sales opening at 5:00 PM JST.
How much does one draw cost? ¥900 in Japan; about $14 through overseas retailers once shipping markup is included in the listed price.
What's the best prize to chase? Lalah Sune MASTERLISE (C) for sculpt quality, the Garma Zabi banner (D) for novelty display value, and Char's Custom Zaku II BUSTISAN (Last One) for sheer scarcity.
Can I choose which prize I get? No. The tier you draw is random; only within tiers F, G, and I can you then pick the specific design.
Is this the same as the SAGA2 kuji? No. SAGA2 is Federation/RX-78-2-leaning and already in stock on Akibato; INTERLUDE is an all-Zeon lineup releasing separately.
If this is the box that finally gets you building a Zeon shelf, Akibato's Gundam collection carries related kuji and prize figures while you wait for INTERLUDE to land.
