1.10.16 - Animate Cafe items on shop

Hey all.
Some of the Animate Cafe items are on the webshop (preorders aren't open, they open between later this month and March).

Since I've covered these items before, here's a quick list:
Agumon and Gabumon Teacup Charm Set - 600 yen
Adventure Can Badge Set (not garunteed full set) - 300 yen
Tri Can Badge Set (not garunteed full set) - 300 yen
Vending Machine Charms (random 1 of 16, there are 2 Gabumon in this set) - 300 yen

There are also some other items featuring the Crest of Friendship and some other previously released elsewhere merchandise.

Good luck out there collecting!

12.2.15 - New gashapons appear, new cafe bookmark

News has been slow. Most of my efforts have been in tracking down the cafe merchandise and the theatre stuff, but it's very tough! I found out that most cafes already sold out of merchandise. Not only that, but you have to win a small lottery (raffle) to get inside in the first place and hope the merchandise is availible. Very tough. Out of five or so items, I've only secured one two on Y!JP right now. I've lost over four auctions in the past week... sigh. FYI, this is the release week for the Yamato/Gabumon signboard and it's been running around 2000 Yen ($17 USD). They'll be more scarce after this, so I would get one if you want it!

Admist that, I even found (IIRC) new merchandise, a bookmark:

On the bright side, these gashapons appeared on Twitter. They are 300 yen each and random in Japanese gashapon machines. These may come up for preorder on various websites in sets, though! So keep an eye out. (Also wanted to note that the tags include Ken's Crest of Kindness and either the Crest of Destiny/Miracles.. really interesting!)

11.27.15 - New Yamato / Garurumon GEM and new cafe charms~

AmiAmi has the Memo/Magnet set!

Also, this image has been going around. It's in the GEM line and probably will retail around $80-$100 USD like the Takeru/Hikari ones. Not sure if if will be PB exclusive but I imagine Crunchyroll and DenDen Hobby will get them too. If I had to guess it will go up in early 2016.

Also, thanks to Jess over at my group on Facebook, she found these exclusive cafe charms. They're random like gashapon and obviously exclusive to Japan, so if you're gonna track these down you may be scouring Y!JP auctions.

11.18.15 - New Gabumon merch appears on HobbyStock

Some new merchandise appeared on HobbyStock. It features the Digimon.

Gabumon Mini Pouch - 2678 Yen (for one pouch); the site says Backordered but there is no set reservation period, so perhaps it hasn't started yet. These ship in February.

Gabumon Smartphone Cover - 3698 Yen (for one slipcover). Site details: "The back surface can be installed only flat smartphone. ■ Material: PC, PU ■ measure of smartphone dimensions compatible with the present product: - about 140 × width 70 × thickness 10mm to the height camera position from the back top to the bottom is about 37mm lens (the bottom of the camera there is a flash smartphone until flash the lower will be the 37mm)"
