Otacute Free Gift

This rather confused me.

Ordered a figure from Otacute.com.

And as is usual they gave a free gift. This time it was a 3d lenticular picture. It had a hole in it that I was baffled as to how to use it, it obviously wasn't for a hook as it was at the bottom of the image. Then I had a brain-wave, and... Well, you can see the results for yourselves.

I'm just rather surprised it got through quality control. I guess that's why it was a free gift.

(please excuse camera-phone crappiness of photos, but it was a rather reflective picture)

      Think it depends on the value of the order. When I buy cheaper stuff, there is no free gift.

          Well, make sure you check the entire box, some of the items get mixed up with the packing, like a sheet of stickers etc.

            This is totally true.
            I thought I never had a gift with my Nendo Azusa.
            Now she's been out for a while, right?
            Last week I was folding up boxes and suddenly.. A trading card fell out.
            Out of the box Azusa was shipped in.

            Damn ninja gifts, how do they work!?

    About 80% of my preorders are thru them.

    I think they have a mass produced address sticker for me by now >.>. or they just made a mailing stamp with my info on it. One of the two T.T --;

    Lol. I order a bunch from otacute too. I ve gotten trading figures, cards and other small trinkets as free gifts. It's really cool that they do that. I think I've gotten a gift for pretty much all my orders. I actually got this lenticular fan too. Lol never noticed the odd placing of the finger hole until you pointed it out.

    I got the same toy story item you got with my touhou puchi set1. Last week I also got a free one piece gash set that's worth 2000yen due to the cancellation of the Taiga china dress ver being cancelled. That was a big surprise.

    Hey, I ordered my Feng Pastel Box, Dengeki G's Mag and some mini shelve from OQ all together and got no free gift!? u_u. Availability based?
    When I used play-asia they always included stickers or a bunch of nice anime post cards. Too bad they ship from HK(customs >_< ).

        Yup, every now and then... that's why I believe the stores include the souvenirs based on availability. And the 5% discount coupon is standard on play-asia packages.

          Man that's odd. They should do that more often! Yeah, atually I can't remember NOT getting a discount coupon from them. At least that's better than getting nothing.

    It's a fan. I think you can put it in one of those plastic sticks that's why there's a hole.
    I've only gotten free stuff from Otacute once, and that was when they had zetta delays on my Asuka earphones -- which were shipped alone.
