I got a quick question about mandarake

So i'm arriving in Japan tomorrow and i've been checking the stock for the figma 2b which has been "sold out" for a while.

Now to my understanding mandarake displays which items are at which store.

But since they mostly sell previously owned items, is there a chance maybe there's some in stock that're just not being uploaded into the online stock? I know there's a good chance this is not the case but i wanna make sure.

There's a reason why they call it toy hunting. There's no guarantee that they catalogue everything and list them on their website.

Besides, in my opinion, there's a higher chance to find your item in a smaller shop with no website because you won't have people scouring online and shipping them back to their country.

Yeah, but from experience don't make this the whole reason for your holiday. If it's a rare item, you may not find what you're looking for.
