A Lucky Box vending machine is installed in the Pentagon food court and contains rare, graded trading cards including a Surging Sparks Pikachu with full-art Stellar-type Tera crown. The machine operates like a gacha or loot box, charging roughly $100 to $200 per attempt. The display advertises potential prizes such as the Pikachu and shows an image of a giant Charizard, though the presence of specific cards is unclear.
