On November 4, Bandai revealed two walk-in content types for 'GCG EXPO 2026 in OSAKA Nov.' on the official Gundam Card Game website: 'Matching Battle' and 'Shield Battle'. Both can be entered on the day of the event without a prior lottery. Reaching 7 wins in the matching battle awards 'EXRP-020 EX Resource〈Hatsune Miku〉'. The event will be held on November 28-29 at the Osaka ATC Hall.

Participate Even If You Lose the Lottery

The official page stated that these two contents are open to anyone who did not win the pre-drawings for the 'WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 26-27 EXPO Preliminaries' or the 'Serial Card Challenge'. Pre-applications for the EXPO preliminaries have already ended. However, attendees must complete facial recognition registration to enter the venue. Entry is not permitted without registration. Cosplay attire and changing clothes inside the venue are also prohibited.

Matching Battle: Prizes by Win Count

The matching battle runs on Saturday, November 28 from 9:30 to 18:30 (final matching at 18:00), and Sunday, November 29 from 9:30 to 17:30 (final matching at 17:00). Times are subject to change depending on operational conditions. Prizes vary by win count, and distribution ends when supplies run out.

The official page noted that 5-win and 3-win prizes have fixed quantities per type, so certain choices may become unavailable.

Shield Battle: 30-Card Deck from 8 Packs of GD06

Shield battles require participants to buy 8 packs of 'Stardust Trails[GD06]' at the booth entrance. GD06 was released in Japan on October 31 with a suggested retail price of 250 yen per pack (tax included). Packs bought at other stores or merchandise areas cannot be used. Players build a 30-card deck using cards pulled from the 8 packs, form random groups of 4, and play 3 matches within their group. Decks may be modified using opened cards between matches. Resource cards, EX resources, and EX bases must be brought by each player.

Operating hours are November 28 from 9:30 to 18:30 (reception closes at 17:00) and November 29 from 9:30 to 17:30 (reception closes at 16:00). The 3-win prizes include a promotional card set (choice of 1 out of 12 sets), a 1st Anniversary Resource Card Pack, and a paper card case (1st Anniversary version). Cash is not accepted. Payments are restricted to credit cards, transit cards, QR code payments, and electronic money.

For on-site merchandise, 'Official Card Sleeves EX 02' (70 sleeves, 990 yen, limit 1 per person) has been announced. The official event page stated that other merchandise and side events will be revealed later.

This announcement was posted on the Japanese official site. No separate schedules or participation guides for Korean users were found on the official page.
