>>9035I suppose I meant that rhetorically since I didn't expect an answer. The ones I was thinking of you can't get the merch without using Mercari because it's still popup store and mail order only, and the prices per item are usually around 1200-2800yen (some of the out of print items go for 8-12000yen, I'm relieved I've only seen them in haul posts and not itabags). More pressingly my advice is absolutely steer clear of Suruga-ya's eng store for that, especially if it's a popular character. They are charging 600yen minimum for items and a 900yen service fee now, whereas can badges for popular chara can be found on Mandarake's site for 100-200yen a go if you catch them dumped in the same store. Also from experience I really don't trust Suruga-ya for itabags, however tempting the availability is. JP brand itabags can cost a fortune and sell out fast on int. sellers, and the secondhand ones either cost far more than they did new or have visible defects. Suruga-ya does not tell you what the defects are or if they have them, so it's a complete gamble. I've had one turn up "used" but still sealed with tags and full of paper stuffing, and another turn up the wrong color with a handle hanging loose because the glue didn't set. The one with the fucked handle was more expensive because of the brand/range.
Anyway I grew up not allowed to buy shit online, and even when I moved out I had customs to worry about so I had to keep all my purchases under 2500yen or face handling fees out the ass. I am old man shaking fist at cloud with these kids freely collecting whatever the fuck plushies and rare stuff they want. Japan is so damn accessible to them now. They're all posting phone screenshots of neokyo accounts with tens of items waiting to ship. Neokyo charges fucking percentage rates on payments like it's 2009 again.
