Day in Akihabara 1

January 12, 2009 Lester Ho 4 comments

On saturday I was planing to go to Akihabara again for another walk. Actually I’m thinking about getting some figurines for my first collection but since Yen exchange rate is sky high now, I will just take a look first before getting one. Before I landed to Japan, I always wanted to buy these stuff from a local shop back in my country but it cost much more expensive than what you get from here. And so I tell myself I wanted to go to Japan and get it from Akihabara someday and now I finally am here but on a wrong time after Yen is rising high. But still that won’t stop me from buying one but I have to check it out before spending my money on it. ^^;;

As you know from my last report on Akihabara Night which I have talked about Maid Cafe and my first Akihabara Walk, Now I’m back again to this heaven for some loots. I always go there by JR train which cost me 160 Yen from Shinjuku.

Again, Upon arriving there, I went to Asobit City which they sell the cheapest and latest figurines and stuff among all others. From there, I went inside and the sign says “NO CAMERA ARE ALLOWED INSIDE”. So I just took the picture from outside before going in to check out some of the awesome figures. Sorry for not able to cover what’s inside this shop. ^^;;

If you happen to carry any important things such as Cash, Rare figurines or Cards, C4 ( Did I mention that? ), eroge, panties ( Ops! ) and etc then you might need this briefcase for safety reason. It can protect your things from outside harm and it’s a bullet proof metal made that will guarantee your stuff won’t be torn apart and it also can’t be detected by the x-ray scanner. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

Lockers with anime characters on. Did I see Evangelion?

Look.. We have one user here. Coin lockers in Japan are almost everywhere to be found.

Look.. It’s the Phone braver 7 ( Keitai Sousakan 7 ).

To guys that don’t know who it is, Here is a video for you to look.

Phone Braver 7 LOVES KIDS. Seriously it does. LULZ!

This shop ( Gemu hobi ) does sell cheap figurines too but only some. They also doesn’t allow photos to be taken inside too. This makes me sad.

Bought some stuff before going back home.

I bought stuff from Asobit City.

And this is what I bought.

This is a secret box which I don’t know what is inside has random characters from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya but when I open it, I got Nagato. ( I was expecting to get Haruhi but PHAILED ) “orz” But it was nice enough.

450 Yen each of this boxes.

This is the Cup that I bought and it’s an anime from Hyakko series. This is the last one they have in their shop because this is kinda like limited edition thing and I manage to get it. The shopkeeper told me this is the last one and probably won’t be restocking it again. So lucky for me since I love to watch this. It’s a comedy type of anime series which is quite hilarious.
