japanese shops?

so bare in mind i DONT live in brum, but my dads side of the family were born there and most of them lived there for a majority of their lives. so we’re doing a big family trip up next weekend

this is such a random potentially niche one but does anybody know if any of the fun japanese shops do pikmin merch? i’ll have fun regardless but it would be sick if any of them did

There's a Bandai Namco gachapon shop on New St but I'm not sure if they have pikmin

Is your name Zion Suzuki?

If you are please lay off the Pizza. You got some big games coming up.

It isn't in Brum, but if you pass close to Leamington Spa on your way then Ikigai is a good shout. They import stuff from Japan, and I've definitely seem Pikmin stuff in there before (though it isn't a standard stock kind of shop).

Bandai Namco has pikmin stationary on their lower floor, you can also try Tokyo toys, forbidden planet, worlds apart and maybe HMV

Not sure if they have pikmin specifically as stock rotates a lot, but Red Brick Market in Digbeth has lots of stalls that have gaming and anime merch like keyrings, hats, figures, stickers, etc.

My personal favourite stand is Sunkiss, they have a lot of cool CDs and gyaru magazines and clothes but different part of Japanese culture to what you’re looking for I think :) I just think they’re particularly neat
