akihabara has been constantly changing through the years. last time I visited was 2016 but your video shows that there have been a lot of changes! thank you
i love that you added ratings. I will be visiting Japan for the first time next month and Akiba is the bucket list. I am also a Gunpla enthusiast so this is a great guide! Hope to see more in the future
I was in Japan last month. The MG Zeta Gundam Ver. Ka was sold out everywhere in Tokyo, but surprisingly, Bic Camera Akihabara had it in stock. Meanwhile, some shops at Ratio Kaikan were price-gouging current Gunpla releases. For example, one shop was selling the P-Bandai exclusive HG Gundam Deathscythe Hell for 7,800 yen.

MG Zeta Ver Ka is such an exceptional case! as fans, there are 2 extremes which either you like “back to origin” concept very much OR you hate the “retro look” design very much. Unlike WFM gunplas, i guess mainly the target audiences has ended up towards die hard fans that are 30+ years old and older. Secondly Bandai didn’t expect this will happen and allowed a lot of stocks for this product. This is why a lot of stocks still appears around the chained retail shops like BIC Cameras And ya, for P Bandai exclusive kits, the prices will never be easy going in the 2nd hand market in Japan 😢

I was in Japan in early last month, and from what I remember it was pretty well stocked at the Gundam Base I went to at least. The weirdest part was that they had a pretty good stock of it in the airport at a souvenir shop.

I was in Japan too last month! I remember it having the most stock available compared to other kits in the Gundam Base in Odaiba...

There is a lot of mg zeta ver ka in the west, so much they are already discounting it. The mgsd freedom and mgex strike freedom is a lot harder to find
Don't forget you can sometimes finds good prices at other small chains like Mulan, Lamtarra, etc
great video! I'm going to japan in early 2024 and will definitely use this guide!!!!

i hope this helps,,, and by the time i think Tokyo would have change quite a lot again!
Actually I found a lot of Metal build Gundam for "cheap" at Akihabarah X. Other stores was selling them twice the original price, and Akihabarah X was actually only charging 3000JPY more than the official launching price for unopened Metal build figure. So it can be worth it to visit the place for foreigners that has difficulties to find Metalbuild Gundam at a decent price in their country like me !
I miss Tokyo! Last time I was there around 8 years ago I dedicated an entire 2 days to Akihabara. Im going to use your video as reference when I get the chance to come and visit again. Subbed to you!
Excellent! You did a good job also showing views of the shops from outside so people can recognize them if they go to Akiba
I find the Ami Ami next to the Akiba Culture Zone has more figure options as well.
really interesting video thanks for sharing

Nice video! I'll be going to Japan this October and this video helped act as a refresher since I last went there! May I ask what camera you used to record this video? Looks very high quality and portable.

Love the vid! Subscribed!
japanese thrift stores are really great too
Wow!
nice review of akihabara and which stores to go to
Wish I could go to Japan for my hobbies. Hobby store near(1 hour+) my house selling basic ass Amazon kits like rx-78-2 and zaku II(red comet) for almost DOUBLE the price 😅 and my other passion which is retro gaming is a similar story, everything is crazy expensive to purchase but you'll probably never get back the money you invested when you want to sell
yes thanks ...i'm hoping i can find a good godhand sniper to bring back home....
i feel like a kid in a mega candy store again ... 🤖
Hi. Thank you for the tips. Ill be going in Tokyo in Jan 2024. I just would like to get your suggestion where I can find Astro Boy, Macross and MP transformer toys. I might not have one whole day to spend in Akihabara.
Definitely less shop nowadays and many shops close early VS pre-COVID normally open till 11pm
good video🎉

Nice freebies love them but I can't get my hands on them cause I'm here in ph and cannot afford going to japan
Any chance you could do an SNK or Dragon Quest Merch search?
Wouldn't the end of the month be better for tamashii? That way you have a chance to see 2 displays.
Any idea which place to go for metal build gundam?
Do you have info where to look for seconhand music instrument at Tokyo?
Sorry if I missed out in any parts of the video but which stores are more focused on toku? I'm mainly looking to get some kr figurines and belts this November and I think I barely saw some belts on sale
Hi, does the shops in radio kaikan that you visited accept credit cards?
Thanks for the video! I'm planning for my trip to Tokyo in September 2023, and I've already cleared out an entire day for Akihabara :) Do you have any recommendations for checking local stocks? I really want to get MGEX Strike Freedom, but at least bic camera's website says out of stock...
Am going to japan next month and hopefully I will be manage to find MGSD FREEDOM😢😢
no mention of lashinbang?

Wish i'd known about the pricing in Japan. I saw something in Amiami, but it was a bit more expensive than i liked. But it turned out it was over 50% cheaper than anywhere else i saw it.

it’s always luck! Ami Ami is reselling most of their 2nd hand goods (except for rare items) in current market price , unlike many of the others that take it up to doubled or even tripled of the original price
Rising mighty y u so expensive? T_T
9:55 that's funny because through proxy Surugaya is actually cheaper than some stores... Just don't use their English site because they only ship through DHL. fuck that.
I was disappointed honestly, so many floors and nothing that I truly wanted to buy.
What is AKIBA?
is akihabara the place to buy toys with cheaper selection?
