I’ve always wondered what the process is to bring figures and memorabilia back home from Japan? Like do you bring an extra empty suitcase to fill it with the stuff? Do they give you a hard time at TSA? Do you have it shipped home instead? What if the figure box is too big for your suitcase? ☹️ so many questions
You can check in several suitcases as long as you don’t exceed your weigh allowance. I also brought a big shopping bag as my hand luggage. Then there can be laws at your countries customs that you can’t bring in goods exceeding a certain amount or you’ll have to pay import fees so that’s something to keep in mind.
The left is the emperor date--a date that is based on the coronation of each emperor, including the "call sign" of the emperor and the date thereof. This includes year and date The middle is the name of the shrine The right black is, in the case of the meijin, just "visited" sort of. The wood one says something else, I can't quite understand. Seems to be a good luck wish of some sort. The red right is the imperial date. This only included the year I'm Chinese, not Japanese, so I can read most kanji but lack sufficient culture context to understand some phrases.
OMG I loved the Tarou's Kicks Art Book! As a certified sneaker head myself, these are DEF on my radar now and I found all 3 Vols on melonbooks! The cover of Vol 3 is so cool though! The girl is wearing a Nike Air Bubble earring (thats what they look like before they are inserted into the shoes) and its looks so good! Looks like its got some fun easter eggs like that for ppl like me to appreciate, I may order them as well :3
The Milklamp, Unreal, and Raita's FGO books were really nice~ It was also nice to know about Goshuin and will definitely collect them as well when I visit Japan,,
The aheine book was cool, thanks for the heads up i wish to travel to japan but not at this moment always look forward to ur content! Excited to see the vlog.
Yooo, Tower Records in Sapporo came through for vinyl when I went. Wednesday Campanella is sick. I hope this album comes to vinyl, too. I've had the Galapagos vinyl for years.
thank you for not supporting AI art, as an artist myself I have nothing but a deep hatred for it as it's hurting real artists love your haul! i recently began following you and your collection has really inspired my own!
Wow, so much great stuff, and I love hearing that quality of the Phat Company figure is good, you scared me with what you’ve previously said about them. Because I just bought their Semiramis from AmiAmi, I cancelled it from big bad toy store, I lost my $60 deposit but it was still cheaper & I want it right now, it could be a few more months if I wait for bbts.
16:32 can you tell me the name and artist of this doujin please, for research purposes. Btw really cute haul Gwyn! I love all the figures and arts you got from Japan. Especially the C.C❤❤❤
Just something I want say/warn people about the coupon code: I made an account a while back and had Gwyn's coupon ready to use, but when I went to make a purchase the coupon had expired because it's timed when you make an account. So if you're looking at an auction but waiting for an item to hit a certain amount, make your account when you make the purchase so you can actually use the coupon. Not sure if this is something Gwyn is aware of, but it did annoy me I couldn't use the coupon on my first purchase because I had an account for about 3 months looking for something I wanted for a good price.
Back then people used to worship Idols made of stone and Wood and God destroyed them like People of Egypt and People of Petra Jordan, you can see their remains. Human never change, now they worship Idols made of paper and plastic. It's not worth it you know, going to Hellfire because of anime figurines.
8:56 based Gwyn!! As an artist myself, thank you for saying this 💖

I went with one big suitcase not filled all the way + a backpack, came back with 2 full suitcases and a backpack. Gonna upload a haul soon too (:
Also I bought the second suitcase there, at a random store in Harajuku for a good price. They gave me 0 problems on the way back.

Lovely haul! An interesting video idea would be how you packed to bring things home vs how it went.
Great haul! Glad you had so much fun as well, thanks for sharing with us!
Love Wednesday! That whole album is amazing. Her new EP is so good too! 🥰
Everything you bought is just so special and I'm sure it will all serve as great mementos of you trip! Thanks for sharing
LET'S GOOOOOO JAPAN HAULLLLLLL
Thank you buyee for sponsoring Gwyn 😊 !!
Different fonts are starting to be readable to me nowadays but at the start they were super weird and i couldn't recognize anything 😂
That Babymetal clear vinyl is really cool !!!
Using the tote bag as a trash can was such a good idea ! It can be washed probably so you can use it normally after that
Thank you for NOT supporting Ai art Gwyn !!!! From the bottom of my heart thank you !!!!!! ❤❤

Thanks for not supporting AI artists. Just wanted to comment that - even if it means not purchasing from some places. Appreciate you.
