Shopping in Japan

Postby KhalReblic23 » Wed Oct 27, 2004 9:34 pm

This is more of a question but its related to "heads up" type of materials. There's certain anime goods and toys that you cant get a hold of in the US. I was wondering if anyone on the board, knows who, where, or actually can themselves get things in japan and have them sent over. I always find things super rare that you cant find in the US or online in english, and just need a contact or "shopper" in Japan. Well just wondering if anyone had any clues or reliable connections. Take care all! and thx.

Hmm, well, there are a number of sites that sell actual Japanese imports, which may or may not end up costing less than someone buying it and bringing it over... I don't want to risk posting up some of them as I'm not entirely sure whether some may carry bootlegs.

You may want to ask dokool though, I believe he's in Japan right now and may have some tips on that for you, if anything :roll:

J-List sells Japanese items and imports them to America. Feel free to drop them an e-mail, they always reply.

Viki from Japan Connection does exactly that type of thing. She mostly sells snacks and toys/collectibles, but she might be able to help out with other types of goods also. I'd highly recommend her; she's gone out of her way in the past to help track down some of the rarer snacks for me. She's absolutely great.

Well, I'm *in* Tokyo right now, so IM me and we can discuss what you're looking for. I have a pretty good mental inventory of the best places for various anime stuffage, so odds are whatever you need won't be too hard to track down.
