Another big wish list item and really, I'm so excited about this!

I have been watching one of these on eBay forever for like $400-500. I really wanted this figure because it's the last one of the SMW figures and it's also very rare. Not only is the figure itself hard to find, they are probably really rare to find in this condition. I'm so excited to have won this auction!

According to friends who can read the slip, it says

"Congratulations on being selected!
Once again, thank-you very much for applying to "Sailormoon Gashapon 10th Anniversary Campaign"
You have been selected strictly by result of lottery, so we would like to send you this prize.
Thank-you, and please keep Bandai Gashapon in your future

Upper right corner of the box is: "NOT FOR SALE"

Some additional information about this figure was found at the bottom of this site which says:

"Aside from the Gashapon series 1~5 that were produced, there was a Figure Maniacs bonus like “Original Sailormoon” and also the 10th Anniversary Campaign “Super Sailormoon Musical Version” which was limited to 2000 people. In the magazine “Hyper Hobby”, the fourth Moon, Marina Kuroki, had a conversation with the head of development at Bandai ; “These panties should not be white. This is the musical so they’re pink!!” she joked. And so, with Marina Kuroki as the supervisor, the panties were modified to be pink."

And according to this site, you had to collect 5 tickets that were stuck inside the little booklets that came with the World Series 3 gashapon OR with the kuttsukun figures (like magnets), mail them in, and THAT is how you had a chance to win!

It has the original box and slip and the figure's package is still still taped shut (the box tape was already cut open). I originally said that I would open it when I got it but ahhh now I am not so sure!! Okay, just kidding, I opened it. I bought a plastic case for her. xD

She's so pretty. ; A ;
