    Excellent place to shop. I saw a Nagoya video recently which had some amazing stuff. I heard a story that all super shinobi are copyright 1989 so hopefully they all include the super hero characters as I bought one. I will be honest these shops you go to are sometimes better than Akiba. If I come back next year I'll do a tour with you.

      Not a lot of pro models. They had two for sale at Hard off without boxes. Those were coming in at ¥24,000 (white variant) and ¥23,100 respectively. Cheers!

    Do you think you're better off shipping the books home rather then another suitcase? Or is it about the same price? Idk haven't been to Japan yet.

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  Рік тому

      That’s a tricky one! I have been lucky in the past in regard to plane tickets. Sometimes my ticket includes 1 carry-on, a backpack and 2 checked bags. In that situation, pack them books in a suits case. Shipping the books home could be expensive. Some of those books are so tempting.
      We’ll keep going down the rabbit hole as I’ll try and feature art books in a future video, haha!

    Seems like most HARD OFFs (at least in Nagoya) are not tax-free. But every BOOK OFF should be. Sometimes the staff don't even know about it.
    Kirby & The Amazing Mirror for almost 4000 yen. I just got that complete for 900 yen from Book Off :D For some reason, that particular store always has GBA games for 900 yen. I guess they haven't updated their prices yet for that category.

    • @RetroReWire

      I wonder about the tax-free, but good to know that all BOOK OFF stores are tax free. Sweet deal on that Kirby! Looking forward to you next video, cheers!

    Hello. I love your video! Can you tell me if it is easy to get a loyalty card at book off ? Can you explain me the benefits ? I saw that you are a book off ambassador. :) Thanks!

    • @RetroReWire
      @RetroReWire  Рік тому +2

      Hello, I'm only a part of the Hard OFF ambassadors program. I do have the BOOK OFF app, however. The only benefit that I really see are the points you get for buy and selling. I saved about ¥472 on my Vampire Hunter D OST purchase due to those points. They occasionally provide coupons through the app, so that's another bonus!
      If you live in Japan, downloading the app or signing up through their website is it all it takes. I'm unsure if it's easy for tourists to sign-up, but there are likely workarounds for that situation.
