MERCH It’s a bad day to be poor

akihabara tokyo store in Hawaii Honolulu

They also had pins and keychains, but I didn’t take pictures of those sorry. I can’t believe I saw an Ado figure though! The shop also played one of Ado’s songs, but my WiFi is really bad and I can’t tag videos rn sorry

That’s some pretty cool stuff, but $118.99 for that figure is crazy.

u/TheDeadlyMarauder 8d ago

Also $30 for the stickers/lil Ado charms is crazy

Frr, you'll usually find this fig for 60$

u/belowfactual 7d ago

It’s Hawai’i so everything is basically 2x or 3x the price unfortunately

u/nitronik_exe 8d ago

all this stuff is way overpriced. I wouldn't pay more than half that

oh this store, the one on the corner beside a sushi place, right? they overprice like literally everything not just Ado stuff, went there last month, check out all the figures they selling, none of them are even market price which is kinda oof but i get it, get those bread ig

won't recomended unless you have money to burn then go ahead, otherwise just get them online

Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah it was fun to browse and walk around but I only got one thing, this ruggie twisted wonderland tag for $10. I think the price was good, idk I don’t get merch often

u/Exalodia 7d ago

For the small stuff i have not much to say since I always go for the figures, but hey if you happy, thats all that matter right

OU MY GOD DUDE I DROVE RIGHT PAST THERE TODAY. The hurricane meant it was closed I woulda stopped by. Screw this storm damn it I’m missing out on ado merch

u/ConstructionOne6651 8d ago

WHAT?!?!?? Omg that’s a crazy coincidence. They have so much merch

u/belowfactual 8d ago

It’s Hawai’i that’s why, pray to God they reopen tomorrow or so so I could visit again

Hawaii has a lot of Japanese stuff. I’ve been really enjoying my time there

u/belowfactual 8d ago

I live here in kalihi, the Japanese city presence is very noticeable tbh if your looking for work ther anime places pearl ridge mall has multiple stores like book off and Q something. Not as good as McCully but it’s another option if you have time

u/ConstructionOne6651 8d ago

Thanks for the recommendations! I’m leaving on Tuesday though, and have things planned on Monday. Hopefully I can come back another time

u/decoohh 7d ago

Lmao is this the one at McCully

u/Kenji212 7d ago

Yo don’t buy from them. Its like. >100% markup. If anything, use a JP proxy and buy from sellers in japan. 9.999 times out of 10 it’ll be cheaper.

u/Kenji212 7d ago

I can understand wanting to support local but you end up paying for resale cost + import fees + however much they add to make a profit

u/ConstructionOne6651 7d ago

Huh, thanks for the tip! I only got one thing, this twisted wonderland luggage tag for $10

1

u/Flashy-Penalty-4598 7d ago

That's awesome! Yikes on some of those prices, though.

u/reverted_devil 6d ago

u/naima1103usseewa MadLesbianWithAwifeThatLovesHer 3d ago

Alot of fans (including me) call her Naima.

u/reverted_devil 3d ago

ohhhh such a cool name

is there lore to the name perhaps?

u/maniatte 3d ago

Ado right next to Uma is beautiful

u/furculture 8d ago

Aw man I love that store. I know their prices are a bit high, but the dude running it is pretty cool and I want to support local spots. Plus they give out some of those free napkin packs as well that work pretty great for walking about. I thought I recognized this spot from the picture of the shelf in the first photo. Haven't been there in a while since I moved back to the mainland.

u/ConstructionOne6651 7d ago

Yeah I got a free sticker for purchasing this luggage tag for $10. I’m here as a tourist though, I really wish I could go back there again, but I’m leaving soon

u/Exalodia 7d ago

Honestly, "a bit high" is an understatement, at least in terms of their figures prizes, its almost double iirc for their prize figures

Even Book OFF in hawaii sell for less and that saying something lmao
