The contents of Apple’s 2015 Japanese “Lucky Bag” sales have been revealed. The bags went on sale at 8 AM local time this morning, and the entire collection of deals was quickly revealed by those who had taken advantage of the limited-time offer.

The bags will cost shoppers around ¥38,000 (or about $323). There are four different types of bags available, and customers will get one at random when they make their purchase.

Here’s what shoppers will find in their Lucky Bags this year:

In the “best” bag, buyers will get a 128 GB 11″ MacBook Air, an accompanying Air Jacket case, an Apple TV, an Incase Icon Slim backpack in a limited edition color, a set of Powerbeats2 (by Dre) wireless headphones, a limited-edition Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation, and a Twelve South PlugBug.

The second and third types of bag contain either a 16 GB iPad Air 2 or a 16 GB iPad mini 3 along with an Ultimate Ears Boom Bluetooth speaker. The same Apple TV, Incase backpack, Mophie Powerstation, and Powerbeats2 found in the MacBook bag are also included.

The final (and apparently the most common) offer comes with a 16 GB fifth-generation iPod touch, an iTunes gift card, and the same additional goodies, as the other bags: Apple TV, Incase bag, Powerstation, and Powerbeats2.

The contents of each bag is worth much more than the price tag, so no matter which version customers end up with, they’ve scored some pretty cool gear at a fraction of the regular cost. The offer will only be available while supplies last.

    Not bad – even with the lower end bags.

    This would be soooooooo cool if it came to the U.S.

    Anyone know why this isn’t done anywhere else?

    • Mike Beasley - 9 years ago

      Because no other countries have this custom.

      • Nick Donnelly - 9 years ago

        It’s not done anywhere else, because it’s not done anywhere else. Nice circular reasoning there.

      • Mike Beasley - 9 years ago

        It’s not circular logic. Apple doesn’t do this everywhere because the entire lucky bag concept is part of Japanese culture, not British or American or anywhere else. Other stores in Japan do this besides just Apple. It’s like asking why Japan doesn’t have a sale on Memorial Day.

        @donnelly Nice reading comprehension there.

    • rogifan - 9 years ago

      Well the U.S. would consider it a lottery and I believe those are only allowed to be run by the government.

      • samuelsnay - 9 years ago

        Yes, because raffles don’t exist.

    Damn, that’s some really cool swag you get for a comparitively low purchase cost, even in the “common” bag! Too bad this isn’t a custom in the rest of the world!

  5. Seungwon Lee (@sonikev) - 9 years ago

    I’m not sure but one of the buyers got the Mac Pro. Is that real?

  6. tobangladesh - 9 years ago

    When is this coming to uk?

    • J.latham - 9 years ago

      When it becomes part of your culture. This isn’t an apple thing, this is a japanese thing -_-

  7. calisurfboy - 9 years ago

    I have a strong desire to start a petition on the whitehouse dot gov website to introduce this holiday stateside.

  8. sammy90483 - 9 years ago

    Meanwhile, Black Friday “deals” at Apple prove to be largely immaterial and unimpressive. No deal globally comes close to the sometimes nearly $900 discount Apple gives with these lucky bags.

    “The offer will only be available while supplies last.” Well, I better get my plane ticket and get right over there!
