Looks fun....
We have "Grab Bags" here in the US instead (around the Holidays)...
I always got the Shampoo, while my Cousins always got the cool stuff like a portable Radio....
What fun! I would totally do this... however... in the USA:
It would not go over here, though. Americans want what they want when they want it (and nothing less so help them God). They would never be willing (in droves) to just accept whatever's in the bag.
Even if they signed a consent form saying they would abide by the rules, the minute they were disappointed after opening their swag bag, here'd come the tears/swears. They would try to find a way around the NO RETURN rule and there would be a lot of pissing/moaning/fit throwing. They'd make the whole situation impossible and miserable.
I'm American and I hate to admit it but I know how much of this society acts/thinks. I'm not that way (and would accept a less than stellar bag), but most are (and wouldn't).
Sad but true.
dude that's so awesome! we don't have anything like this in the US?
For those asking why Americans don't have that, its simple. Americans don't like losing, especially in todays "everyones a winner" society.
This would never work in the U.S. because of the "it's all about me" attitude. You would be pissed if you got an iPad and the guy behind you got a MacBook Air. Japanese can handle this, we can't.

At the local mall in my town, we have this thing every year and the mall buys thousands of bananas and you buy a ticket, and get a banana and theres a sticker on each banana you peel off the sticker and theres a percentage discount and the name of a store. Its fun because theres a lot of bartering between customers for different bananas. All the guys want the gamestop bananas and the females want the ones for Torrid or Kays Jewelers.
Its fun and its like a midnight event as well, so all the stores are open till 3am.
Sadly, this is very true!
That's the coolest tradition I've ever seen. As there's nothing in the Apple store I wouldn't want!
I thought the value of the bags was always greater than the price. They may not be things you want, but I don't think you lose money on the deal.

Why cannot we have this :'(
People are really willing to spend $430 for random items? $430 is a lot of money to throw away in a lottery.
Why don't they just take the money and put it toward what they actually want to buy?
Let me put it this way: what if I told you that by giving 400 bucks to me you would get random tech items up to a range of 400$ to 800$ sticker price? Would you really give me 400 dollars?
