*sigh, I miss the time when a coin costs P30. Later got raised to P50 pre-pandemic. Will try to drop by perhaps on December for a peek hoping for more Gundam related stock.
They are basicallt charging P65 for 100JPY that is almost 200% markup(¥100 = P38) assuming they are getting those gachapon at Japan retail price but of course they are probably getting them at wholesale if not distributor price which would be between 30-70% less of the retail price. Of course there's operating , importation and other expenses but a one full size container van will fit millions of these toys. Considering how poor the general public is, it may not be a good for their business longevity.
Yeah I kinda agree. Hopefully the price goes down a bit at some point. I feel this shop's current success is mostly hype-driven, but just like a fire, hype dies eventually.
For starters, the general public is NOT the target market of these bandai toys. And do you know how much Bandai is asking for international licenses to bring this on other countries?? Come on now… it’s not as simple as 1 + 1. 🙂 But of course I also think mark up is quite high, and wish the prices will go lower, but I kinda also understand why they can’t do it easily.
I won't be surprised if they'll lasted for 2-3 years of operations here in the Philippines. Indeed they're aiming for niche market, unlike the masa crowd which currently obsessed with Pop Mart particularly Labubu.
Hey, did you happen to spot Skyline GT-R R32 or GT-R Sprint Owner Collectible Key Gashapons there? Was thinking of buying online but if it’s available there might just drop by. Nice review by the way!
i live in indonesia and sadly those juicy gashapon machine only dreams to me here huhu (except for people that live in jakarta) i got that kamen rider gotchard keychain card item from online shop instead 1:40 but its betteer to gacha there by ownself , experienceing the sensation qwq
Our token price is actually in line with how much they generally cost outside of Japan. If anything, we're one of the cheapest places to buy Bandai gashapon from. In Indonesia it's 20000 IDR, which is 72 PHP. Singapore, 2 SGD which is about 87 PHP. In the US, a whopping 2 USD. The only market matching our current price is Malaysia at 5 MYR. We also have a distinct advantage compared to other countries because we host a Bandai Namco factory on our soil. That's why stock found in other countries can have "Philippines" printed on it.

Sorry but I don't really recall seeing it 😞
For comparison, it only costs 300 yen on average in Japan. Seeing the 3 token price of 195 pesos here, there's like a 70% patong per pull.

it's better because you can win an item that has more value
Hey nice glass display shelf. Where did you get them?
MAC Glass Cabinet
The best thing in gashapon is you can trade it to other person there who also willing to have it
But finding yourself in that situation still requires a bit of luck haha
Is there a Gashapon set for the SHY anime?
I think they had one 2 weeks ago, if I remember correctly.
@@NicholsToys For real? I hope it's still available when I plan to go there
Wow that looks legit, and obviously overpriced
3:13 Ichika best girl
Do they have working tamagotchi?
They did have some Tamagotchi stuff within the first week but I'm not sure they currently hold some.

Overpriced. But what’s new? GunPla is controlled by Bankee. I guess that shop gashapon is also controlled by same greedy persons
Did you whale? LOL
Thankfully not haha I got everything I wanted on initial pull. But I might've whaled if they had the Exia bust gacha lmao
