The legendary "Carddas Mini" has arrived at the Akiba Research Institute editorial office!　Experience the pleasure of crunching the handle!

Pre-orders began in March on Bandai's official mail-order site, Carddas Shop, but due to the popularity of the product, pre-orders for August production ended, and now pre-orders for the second round of orders for September shipment have resumed for the "30th Anniversary Carddas Mini Vending Machine.

The Akiba Research Institute received a prototype of this product, which received a great response when we introduced it last time!

Since its release 30 years ago, "Card Das" has captured the hearts of boys and girls, and this product allows them to enjoy it at home.
The editorial department, which was thrilled by the "crunching" sound of Card Dus when it was first released 30 years ago, has given it its all in this review.

First, we admired the form of the "30th Anniversary Carddus Mini Vending Machine" that arrived at the store.
Although smaller in size than the ones found in candy stores and supermarket fronts at the time, the initial design is well detailed and well-designed.
Among the samples was a mini display sheet included in the "Best Selection Set SD Gundam Gaiden ver," which was being ordered at the same time, so we set it up right away.

Mr. A, a member of the Just Generation editorial staff, observed it from corner to corner.

He couldn't stop grinning, holding his longed-for Carddas in his hand.

The arrows on the steering wheel are just as they were back then!

After admiring the exterior as much as we could, we finally took out some coins to experience that moment of bliss!

And insert into the coin slot!

The distinctive sound of coins falling from the slot into the machine echoes in our ears.

Finally, we put our hands on the handle (in this case, fingers) and turn the handle, enthralled by the "crunching" sound!

It's just like "Carddus! We, the editorial staff, continued to watch the spectacle with keen interest.
By the way. The "Das" in "Carddus" stands for "Data and System.

It was a cutting-edge term at the time, the same as "Das" in "AMEDAS," and it does not mean "to play" cards!

Then ......

Oh, oh, oh, here it comes, here it comes, the card!

And this is, no way, !!!!!

(*The card inside is Mr. A's personal property.)

It's a Kira card~!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, what a fortuitous thing this is.
Drawing a Kira card on the first try is a sight that was hard to come by when I was a child.

Bliss, indeed!　A moment of bliss!

To savor this moment, we keep turning the wheel. ......

This is just like Carddas!

Mr. A holds the card that came out and shows a big smile on his face.

We hope you will enjoy the blissful moment when this smile pops out of his face.

Incidentally, this product comes with 10 white cards, so you can create your own original lottery or use them in a bingo game.
It might be a good idea to use the cards as a way to express your honest feelings that are usually difficult to express.

For those of you who have already disposed of your cards from when the product was first released, there is good news!
Don't worry, the "Dragon Ball Card Dus ver," "Dragon Ball Super Battle ver," "SD Gundam Gaiden ver," and "SD Gundam World ver" of the "Card Dus 30th Anniversary Best Selection Set" are also available for pre-order along with the release of this product!

We hope you will check it out for yourself as you enjoy the pleasure of crunching through the "Card Dus Mini" and experience the bliss of obtaining Kira Cards.
