Vending Machine
The Vending Machine, located at the Lightest Tower, stocks unique sets of items each month, generally reflecting a theme. The items retire at the end of each month, to be replaced by a new batch.
Each try at the machine costs one Vending Machine Ticket (20 iC at the Cash Shop or may be purchased from other users), and results in a random item out of the current month's selection.
Generally, users are often willing to trade tickets for items they've won but don't want. If you don't want to test your luck, check Trades to see if an item is available.
Vending Machine items generally increase in value over time, and most end up in galleries. Depending on the purpose for an item, they may also be used up in item collections of various kinds.
