Cave merchandise selection at the Kotobukiya store in Akiba

I took this video on December 22nd, but I'm just now getting around to uploading it. Enjoy. As for myself, I bought an Espgaluda pencil board.

You didn't want to try on the Galuda underwear right there on the spot?

Cool to see it, thanks for the video. I thought they closed that section for good. A lot of it looked "priced to move" but some of the tshirts are still outrageous.

Putting those super-annoying unkillable cannons from DFK on a t-shirt...whatta buncha trolls. :P I hafta admit I did like the "golden numbers" Galuda tee though...and would be tempted to buy the "bath ending" Deathsmiles mug just to see people's reactions when I served them something to drink in it, heh.

I had to be discreet while videoing this, so I was kinda "shooting from the hip" while I filmed it. Sometimes the item being mentioned is not fully in the shot and such.

I was mistaken. It moved from the first floor to the 3rd floor, and there's absolutely nothing left now except the stuff they will never sell and may have to give away. I never go up to the third floor, and only knew about it after someone else told me. Just for reference, this is what they used to have:

It's even worse now because I bought all of the t-shirts when I found out there were still some available. :mrgreen:

It'd certainly be eye-brow raising indeed.

He hasn't send them yet but I better have them shipped secure with EMS with low value .
He said he went back today to grab two for himself as he realised they are awesome .

Necro bumps all over the place.

Does anyone knows if Rancor still sells some of these ship models? (I really would like to own Panzer Jager)
I'm probably many months late though :(

cave opened a new store! to get to it, you have to walk down a dark and seedy alleyway, lift up a homeless mans sleeping bag, go down the manhole underneath, descend 9 levels to a door covered in excrement, use the secret knock that is taught to you after beating inbachi, answer a riddle, and you're in.

but seriously, why is it so fucking hard for cave to sell merchandise to people? it just boggles my mind.

jeff, you should get in touch with cave. show them your web store, and see if you can set up a partnership with them.

well for one thing most of what they sell is useless shit, some of it is really poorly designed too (mort of their tshirts for instance).

im sure theyd sell a ton if they just focused on stuff people actually want or can use and put some effort into designing it...

You'd think that PVC figures of the SDOJ girls would be a no-brainer as far as merchandise goes. iirc Reco and the Ibara girls sold pretty well.
