You’re welcome 🤟🏻!

[@willianoikawa1275]

you missed the cheapest part lol

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! I tried to showcase the cheapest stores for new figures, but unfortunately, prices in Akihabara seem to be rising over time🥲. In my opinion, it might be worth researching figure stores in other less touristy areas of Japan. If you don't mind buying second-hand figures, stores like HARD OFF and BOOK OFF might be your best bet. Please check out Part 2, where I visit some great stores for second-hand figures👍

Excellent

ASTOP is a joke. prices are ubsurd due to foreigners not knowing the value of a figure. ATOP lets people create their own boxes to sell at higher prices in hopes a clueless foreigners will buy their favorite one piece character as a prize figure for 8000 yen. (ー_ー;)

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! Having visited some anime figure stores in Tokyo, I've realized that ASTOP is definitely not a cheap option. It’s disappointing and frustrating when prices are inflated, especially for those who know the true value of the figures. It's always best to do some research and compare prices before buying. I hope you can find better deals elsewhere! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Which one is the cheapest? XD

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! It’s difficult to determine which one is the cheapest, in my opinion, as there are many factors involved such as the type of figure, the anime’s popularity, whether it’s special or limited edition, and whether it’s brand new or second-hand. If I had to mention the ones with lower prices for brand new figures, I would say ASTOP, Volks Akihabara Hobby Paradise, Amiami, and Trader, based on the diversity of figures and range of prices.

mmmm volks in akihabara seems a little overpriced compared to the one in den den town

[@4kjapanspace07]

“Hi, thank you very much for your input. I haven’t visited Den Den Town yet. From my experience talking with locals in Akihabara and the Tokyo area, they believe that prices in Akihabara and Nakano Broadway specially may increase due to the demand from foreigners buying anime stuff, including figures. I think this could be a good idea for a video exploring and comparing figures from stores outside of Tokyo and other big cities in Japan such as Osaka, Nagoya etc. Thanks for watching!

One Piece totally ain’t cheap….gosh….

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! ONE PIECE figures aren’t cheap, especially in Akihabara or other tourist cities. However, you can still find better prices in second-hand stores like Hard Off or BOOK OFF, especially in rural areas.

[@brunga77]

Hi, I really appreciate your videos on tricks. I would ask you if possible to please also focus on the high-level tricks and not almost always the prize ones. Thanks

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! Thank you very much for your suggestion; I really appreciate it. I will definitely consider it for upcoming videos. Thanks for watching!

[@Bewarewolves]

Thank you for including how to go about getting the figures, I was wondering what the process was.

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@yunie234]

Only at those types of stores btw. Otherwise you can take them like normal…unless they are in a glass cabinet (for example at Mandarake) the just ask staff for them

[@4kjapanspace07]

@@yunie234 Good point! It’s always a good idea to check the store’s policy or ask if you’re unsure. English-speaking staff is becoming more common in popular stores. Thanks for sharing!

[@egrtm3196]

Hi have you went japan if you did are there any advice you can give??

[@MonBriella]

those are cash only? because i saw some said "cash only" damn will need some cash

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! I used a credit card to buy figures at the ASTOP store, so I can confirm that you can use a credit card here. However, it seems that only cash is accepted for figures in the crystal boxes. I’ll investigate further next time I visit this store. Thanks for watching!

[@vamp1ng]

Does the figurine comes with its original box?

[@4kjapanspace07]

Hi! Based on my experience buying figures at ASTOP, the figures came with their boxes. Unfortunately, I haven’t bought any figures at Volks Akihabara Hobby Paradise store, so I don’t know. Perhaps if you buy figures there, they come with their boxes. I hope you find this helpful. Thanks for watching!
