Goodsmile is a bit more pricey because it is one of the very few if not the only company that has a factory in Japan both created and assembled, rather than designed in Japan and then assembled in China plus quality control like the other brands.
Loved the video, thank you! Did you see anything related to Harry Potter? I was expecting to see merch of this saga, but there was nothing u.u that's so sad
I'm currently working on my man cave/game collection/anime collection... and thank God this isn't near me because I'd probably drop 1000s in these stores right off the rip lol
What should you do if you want to buy a figure, for example the ones displayed behind the glass without a box. Do you ask for the staff? And also do they speak english? (Asking for an upcoming trip)
Hey! Thanks for the comment. Yes, you can ask the staff. Regarding English, it depends on the store, but otherwise just type what you want to say using the google translate app and they will understand :)
Yeah Robot robot can be a bit expensive. Do you mean Starcase? If yes, I have been there once. The owner has a lot of collectibles, it looks like a small museum. The prices are pretty high too.
@@MattFinds HI Yep Starcase, it was really expensive but there was some very cool vintage stuff there that I wanted badly. I have had luck in finding vintage Star Wars mainly at the Kamiedo hobby off, they seem to have a few bits everytime I've been there. Are you a SW collector ?
Yeah that store has some really cool vintage stuff :) I have some Star wars stuff, but I wouldn't say I'm a collector. Most of the vintage are very expensive. I mainly try to collect Star wars comic packs as they affordable and you can sell them for more.
Statues are always cheap in JP cos: 1. the conversion rate & 2. they are cheap to begin with, it is only when they are exported then the overseas sellers mark up the prices
It's good that they're complete to harume miku's costume unlike in divisoria they only have harume blue school uniform and then sakura miku's pink uniform.
Heeyy! Thanks for the comment. Just go around different stores, you will see that some of them are much cheaper :) On the 2nd and 3rd floors, some stores have decent prices. But also, it's possible with the inflation and Japan opening its borders led to an increase in prices.
@@MattFindsthank you for your comment. I spent several hours in G. broadway und the same things, like in your videos were always like 3-4 times more expensive. In stores in akihabara, it was nearly 6 times expensive -.- figured out, in random stores in yokohama (near railstation) there are prices like in your Video. Many things for like 500-800 yen.
Saw your vid and stumbled on your channel while searching for gunpla stuff. I'm your 536th subscriber. Keep it man and i hope you grow soon. Gonna be waiting for more of these.
good day mr matt! can you tell me what floor for "store 1", please? i need to make sure, cause my friend is in japan now, thank you so much! hope you reply this one❤
Thanks for the comment. Yes, no problem. The first store is on the second floor behind the escalator if I remember correctly. If your friend doesn't find it, she/he can ask one of the staffs for ''lashinbang'' that's the name of the store.
I really want to go but my finances are against it. It's not that I can't afford it it's that I know I'll spend so much money unessecarily. Already went once last year and ended up spending 120 bucks for 6 figures of anya😅
Maaan i would love to go there figures are in box plus authentic for 5 dollars while here you can see 11$ not authentic and has no box so I had to order to get authentic figuress
Star Wars is very expensive! Most of them are brand new and you can still get them for $13-$15 each. You could probably make some bank buying up a bunch and take them with you to Japan for trading.
Yeah most of the Star Wars goods are super expensive. But for now in Japan, it's quite difficult to send things abroad. The borders are still not opened and the shipping cost is really high right now :(
Would you recommend this to Akihabara? I am visiting Tokyo soon and had plans to buy action figures in Akihabara. But I don't see nearly enough retro figures like Star Wars, Ninja Turtles, Back to the Future, etc. in Akihabara videos. It's mostly One Piece and current trending animes in Japan.
Yes, 100%. Nakano Broadway has a lot of figures like Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Ninja Turtles and others. Additionally, it's cheaper than Akihabara. You just need to spend a day there. Look at all the stores in the building and try to find the most affordable stuff that you want to buy :)
Im in japan now, is it worth bring some back to thw states to resell and if so what is a good product? I was looking at manga and Pokémon cards also figurines like in your video.
Thanks for making this video. I will definitely try to find this store. We’re arriving this April going to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. I wonder if you could help me where to find an inexpensive hachinage? Would greatly appreciate your help!!
Great video! I love the content! I'm glad I found your channel, new subbie here. I also thrift and post videos. If you can please show some love back and lmk what you think. I'll appreciate the feedback!
Hmm I would say 50/50. If you want more Japanese figures then you should go to Akihabara. Here is the best store to buy them: ruclips.net/video/MUcuiGuRXpQ/видео.html
@matfinds Do you think if I want to buy like 10 figures will they work with me in a bulk price discount? I would be able to add so much to my collection.
@@angelusphoenix1 Hahaha good luck with your Japanese :) This shop is located in Nakano (1 station away from Shinjuku) and the building is named ''Nakano Broadway''
I think you can go to the mandarake Japan website. I'm not sure if they ship abroad due to covid, but worth taking a look :) Here is the website: order.mandarake.co.jp/order/?lang=en

Yeah, you're right. If the figurines are locally made and assembled then the price will def be higher.
You should have shown the store names. Some of the stores here also have a branches in Akihabara and Osaka which means prices will be the same.
Where were you when you went to the special godzilla store?
Loved the video, thank you! Did you see anything related to Harry Potter? I was expecting to see merch of this saga, but there was nothing u.u that's so sad
I'm currently working on my man cave/game collection/anime collection... and thank God this isn't near me because I'd probably drop 1000s in these stores right off the rip lol
Hahaha I can imagine. I have spent a lot of money there :)
Great video! Did you see any Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D, or Afro Samurai items there??
If teleportation existed, I would end up bankrupting myself in this place
Haha I'm sure you would :)

robot robot is always super expensive for star wars...have you been to the star wars store in Koenji?

Yes, if they are made in Japan, it's normal to have a cheaper price because most of them are made there.
It's good that they're complete to harume miku's costume unlike in divisoria they only have harume blue school uniform and then sakura miku's pink uniform.
will be going again next year in april. Nakano is a pretty interesting place to check out. bought a disney popcorn bucket from there last time lol
Yes for sure! Damn nice :) They have so many things if you are willing to spend the day there :)
I am visiting in 2024. I will be looking for Jet Jaguar, Ultra Man, Voltron, Gojira and Speed Racer stuff!
Nakano is a treasure trove for weebs, I love it so much
Hahaha yes!

Yes, if you type ''Nakano broadway japan'' on google, you should find their website

That size figures in US/Canada would go for like 100 bucks depending on quality
Oh yeah easily! :)
Hey my dude I’m thinking to go there to hunt for some stuff is it worth it for also retro games ?
Yo man, yeah you can hunt there for retro video games. However, they are a bit more on the pricey side.
nakano kinda overpriced now
Yes, it is. But there are still some stores where you can still find cheap prices and sometimes it's even possible to negotiate with the sellers :)
please make godzilla and ultraman section longer
Will def try when I'm back in Japan
damn! that nightmare Luffy
Amazing, right? :)
