I’ll be there in July, I’m a scummy reseller but it’s kind of just a fun hobby. I would recommend akiba culture zone next time as they have a lasinbang there and other good shops. Awesome video though!

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

⁠@@Japanismyfavorite it’s important to have resellers otherwise there’ll be a much smaller market, no different to people buying and selling whisky or wine to me, after all everyone had the opportunity to preorder at the beginning ! Have fun in Japan and I’ll checkout the akiba culture zone next time thanks for the heads up!

@Abedeuss 4 месяца назад

Having purchased a bunch of books/manga in second hand stores like Book-Off, the best part about Japan's "second hand" market is people's mentality of taking care of their stuff. It's almost indistinguishable from brand new stuff, other than obviously boxes being slightly damaged or showing signs of wear, not actually seen on the figure/product etc.

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Agreed! Like the Yae Sakura figure I saw, I didn’t notice anything wrong with it, but the shop attendant was a lot more meticulous and can spot any tiny defects. Their standards for second hand is very high there

@calvinchan8511 4 месяца назад

The reason for the higher prices is because some of those shops you featured in your video are resellers. Mandarake is my first stop when it comes to otaku stuff. They have stuff from over twenty years ago that are original releases. Their manga selection is also one of the biggest and more complete than most Book Off locations.

@wolfco47 4 месяца назад

I agree. Mandarake specializes in older materials. And, if you really want to look for that sort of thing, you are much better off searching in Nakano Broadway instead. Nakano is basically an absolute maze of stores full of second hand goods of all makes and models and types. ... Surugaya is also primarily a second hand goods store. If you are interested in figures, goods, video games, art books, and such that are not just released it is a good alternative resource. Searching the stores in Akihabara is like being buried alive sometimes.

had a similar experince to urs, where i found myself eye shopping more than actually shopping lol, mainly cuz stuff was overpriced ( if you know ur stuff ofc ) and the luggage space as well + plus how crowded it can get that it affect ur overall visibility, i went and ordered the stuff i wanted as soon as i landed home, i managed to snip one figure (Fate/Extella Link - Scáthach - 1/7 - Makyou no Seargent) that i like from the video as well thanks lol great vid and amazing video quality!

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much for the feedback and comment! Also great figure choice glad you managed to bring one back, I saw another guy buy a grail figure but the box was so big he actually went next door to buy a hand carry! Overall totally agree with your sentiment, if you know what you want you’ll probably not take the chance to buy it here and buy it online to guarantee you get it. Window shopping was very fun but it took two days for me to see these shops and yeh being crowded etc you can easily get overwhelmed in a foreign country. However, that thrill, of when you do spot something, especially something you can’t get online in one of the shops, it’s very fun and exciting!

@ItsMeFranz01 4 месяца назад

I went to Amiami last Nov and was able to communicate with the Staff using English. Bought a few figures as well, the younger japanese staff most likely know English they understand it the problem is that they're shy to speak it.

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Yeh I think it’s the shyness, the staff I spoke to was a bit older, he struggled with the Yae Sakura figure explanation (maybe he panicked a little trying to say the hair colour has changed) so I spoke Japanese to him to help a little. Regardless they were super helpful! I also went in Nov 2023 too

@Kanikiniku 3 месяца назад

Great video mate ! Trader is my go-to for prize figures, most likely to have what you're looking at the best price. Liberty (which I think you missed ?) usually also have everything but tend to be pricier. By the way, Trader will be opening a new building pretty soon, close to Don Quijote if I'm not mistaken. Otherwise, Amiami is probably my favorite shop ! Surugaya have lots of different shops, some in the streets behind the main avenue, with a wider variety and not only limited to shonen stuff. They can be a bit pricy though. There's also Lashinbang, next to where Amiami 2nd used to be. Last one that I know about, that people tend to miss because it's on the farther end of the avenue next to Suehirocho station, is Tamtam. Found some good stuff there, like the Asuka Radio Eva Part 2 at a reasonnable price.

@otakuoverlordx 3 месяца назад

Congrats on getting the Asuka figure! Looks like I need to go back to the holy city to explore the other shops inc Trader. I saw Liberty but just ran out of time (despite spending two afternoons here it wasn't enough), they had a lot of people that day. Ah its a shame I missed the Lashinbang, I went to the one in Osaka and it was really good! (will do a video on that), they also opened a small one in Hong Kong as well. +1 with Amiami looks like I buy most of my stuff from them in Tokyo and online too

@cottonycloud- 4 месяца назад

Hi, just wondering but did you visit Japan around November/December 2023? I could only tell because of the Charlotte banner ad and now it's a Chiori banner as I'm visiting for vacation. Some tips that I won't be taking advantage of but will surely be helpful to everyone: Mandarake and AmiAmi can ship within the country for much cheaper (150 JPY and 600 JPY respectively). Mandarake can do same-day shipping while AmiAmi takes 3-4 days, but no in-store pickup. Just want to let you know that AmiAmi 2nd is actually closed until April-July 2024 (moving to new location) and when I went there everything in that building was closed and dark (googling amiami 2nd closed should yield some Japanese links). AmiAmi at Radio Kaikan was great though, and I managed to snag Paimon/Raiden Shogun for close to Chinese MSRP at a Don Quijote in Ginza, though I haven't seen much anywhere else. Although pretty much no scale figures, Ikebukuro was also awesome with so many cosplayers and 7 floors of Animate Japan + Pokemon store.

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Well spotted and thanks for letting me know about the Amiami 2nd shop! Yep I went in Nov 2023, Trader had some older Genshin items at that time if you’re still looking around (Klee and Ningguang last time I saw) I went to Ikebukuro too! Went to the Animate cafe for a Oshi no Ko collaboration and yep loads of anime merch at the Sunshine City, loved the Pokémon shops there

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Oh I remember watching another video about that and you can’t leave it that long (I think max 24 hours), my advice is to use a luggage storage/shipping company like Yamato Transport (Kuroneko). I used them to not store but ship my suitcase from Gero Onsen town to Tokyo, they’re very good! Even deliver the suitcase to your hotel room! Potentially you could use them to send it to your final hotel and ask the hotel to store the luggage for a few days, I managed to do that for 4 days on my last trip with my hotel in Tokyo (just ask them before hand first!). Hope that helps!

I am talking about the Gundam product lines from Tamashii Nations ranging from Gundam Universe, Chogokin to the high-end ones like METAL BUILD, Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite, METAL STRUCTURE. The high-end ones are very popular in Hong Kong and China, so that's why they get sold out very quickly.

Depends on your country I guess, for most countries it should be fine (I saw on Reddit the other day someone bought 4 suitcases of figures from Akihabara, what a legend), I had 3 check in luggages of souvenirs to the UK and there wasn't any problems. I took one scale figure in the check in luggage and 2 in my hand carry. However: 1) do check if there's any sharp objects in your hand carry figures (like sharp plastic swords), they might ask to open it and inspect, I had my gundam plastic cutter taken away 2) are there any batteries in your figurine?

Hi!, I really enjoyed your video! I’m pretty new to collecting (started in January of this year) so I was curious if saving up to go to Japan and buying figures over there is worth it? Was it expensive and a hassle to take back through the airport? How do you do it? Anyways, this was a great video overall!

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Heya, I would recommend going to Japan regardless, if you’ve never been it’s an amazing place and you’ll have awesome memories. If you have something specific in mind then order online to make sure you can get it, but since you’re new to collecting going to a store and seeing it in person has a lot of benefits. After all you’re spending quite a bit of money on this hobby so it doesn’t hurt to take your time! Tax free is done in the store so it’s easy, taking it on plane I isn’t bad if the box isn’t big. So those three figures I bought (which I put in the locker), I took two into the hand carry hold, actually I could’ve taken all three if I wanted to. You can put them in your check in, I did one with mine and it was ok.

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Are the figures at Amiami store more expensive than online retailing? Or is it worth it to buy it in store rather than pay with shipping?

@otakuoverlordx 4 месяца назад

Amiami store and Amiami online claim to have no direct affiliation with each other but I’ve found the prices in the shop to be the same or cheaper than online store. Remember you save on shipping AND get the nice 10% tax free! It’s just that you’re not necessarily guaranteed to find a specific figure you want in store, so bear that in mind!

@@HarryBaalzach does every death have to happen in rapid succession to give the audience the sense that there’s no point in caring about any of the characters? Idk.

@HarryBaalzach 4 месяца назад

@@Tearituplikewasabi I’m not disagreeing with you, there’s nothing wrong with being invested in characters in tragic anime. But to add context, how many parents of soldiers, sailors and airmen in real wars got any such closure? A large number of combatants were simply listed as missing in action for years, sometimes their remains were never found. Sometimes their final moments were unwitnessed. This novel and anime series deals with war in a grittty realistic way. It doesn’t seek to give closure over every life lost. And given that the front line combatants are considered ’pigs’ and nobody in the empire cares who they are/ were, that side is portrayed intentionally. As a final example, over 30,000 victims of the initial blast at Hiroshima were simply ploughed into a huge pile and covered with soil and rubble. Very few were identified as all the town population records were reduced to ash. Only those with relatives out of town were known to be among the lost, those who were wiped out as entire families are mostly forgotten forever. War doesn’t play fair, and 86 portrayed that fact very well.
