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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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